Liu Qingrui was sitting in his courtyard, holding a small transmission formation in his hand. This transmission formation was given to him by President Bao. Liu Qingrui finished his task and returned to the Merchant City three days ago. Nothing happened on the day they returned. The next day, Firebird and the others went to hand in their task. After dividing the rewards, Firebird and the others returned to their rooms. Liu Qingrui also returned home. They didn't say anything to each other, but Liu Qingrui knew what they were going to do.
However, what surprised Liu Qingrui was that not long after he returned home, someone came to visit him and even gave him a small transmission formation. Moreover, this person was sent by Association Head Bao.
Not long after Liu Qingrui received the small transmission formation, President Bao sent him a letter, telling him that he already knew about the matter. He also told Liu Qingrui not to be afraid and that he would resolve the matter.
And just a moment ago, Liu Qingrui received another letter from President Bao. President Bao told him that the matter has been resolved and that the other party wouldn't make things difficult for him. However, he also told Liu Qingrui to be careful when he goes out to do tasks in the future.
Naturally, Liu Qingrui knew what was going on. President Bao must have resolved the matter, but he wasn't sure if the other party would honor the agreement. Therefore, he reminded Liu Qingrui.
To be honest, Liu Qingrui was grateful to President Bao. President Bao really took care of him. Liu Qingrui didn't know how President Bao would react if he knew his true identity.
After thinking about this, Liu Qingrui couldn't help but sigh. Then he stopped talking. In fact, he already planned to leave the Merchant City with Liu Qingsong if someone really wanted to deal with him. As long as he could survive the remaining year, he wouldn't need to be afraid of anything. But now, it seems like he didn't need to worry about anything.
As for Firebird and the others, Liu Qingrui wasn't worried at all. Firebird and the others were indeed cursed. Liu Qingrui didn't scheme against them, so no matter how much they investigated, there wouldn't be any problems.
As for whether or not someone would deal with Firebird and the others, Liu Qingrui didn't think about it. Even if those people wanted to deal with Firebird and the others, Liu Qingrui wasn't worried about anything. If he couldn't save Firebird and the others, then he wouldn't save them. In any case, his friendship with Firebird and the others was just so-so.
Liu Qingrui put away his small teleportation array and stood up. The huge rock that had been pressing on his chest for the past few days had finally been removed. He could finally let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, Liu Qingrui heard a knock on the door. He immediately walked over and opened the door. When he saw Firebird and the others standing outside, their expressions turned ugly. Liu Qingrui looked at them and smiled, "You're all here. Come in." Then he moved to the side and let them into the courtyard.
After the group sat down in the courtyard, Firebird said in a deep voice, "We've sent people to investigate and found that we were indeed cursed. Moreover, the time of the curse was the same as when we were tested by the trading firm. This proves that you're right, we were indeed controlled by the trading firm in this way."
Liu Qingrui looked at Firebird and said, "I've already thought about it. There's nothing strange about this. Didn't I tell you that any sect would have a way to control their disciples? What's wrong? Do you want to break the curse? "
Firebird replied, "We must break it. If we don't, then the curse will always be a thorn in our hearts. Therefore, we must break it. However, I've already asked the person who helped us investigate the curse. He said that he couldn't break it. It seems like we can only ask you for help."
Liu Qingrui said, "Alright. You must prepare the thing that I asked you to prepare. Without it, I have no way to break the curse. How about it? Is there any problem? "
Firebird replied, "There's no problem. We'll immediately prepare those things. As long as they're ready, I hope you can help us break the curse. Besides the locust tree core, what else do we need?"
Liu Qingrui replied, "We also need to leave the Commerce City. We can't break the curse here. Also, you must not tell anyone about this matter. Otherwise, it would spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The entire trading firm would be in chaos. At that time, if the trading firm investigates, they would surely find us. At that time, we'll be out of luck."
Firebird and the others nodded and said, "Rest assured, we understand."
Liu Qingrui looked at the group and said, "You haven't been cursed for a day or two, so a few more days won't make a difference. Since you've been cursed for a long time, it would be best if you can find the heart of a ten-thousand-year locust tree. It doesn't need to be too long, a foot in height and half a foot in diameter should be enough."
The group nodded and said, "Alright, we understand. We'll go now." Liu Qingrui nodded, then the group stood up and left.
After Firebird and the others left, Liu Qingrui smiled faintly. At this time, Firebird and the others were very dissatisfied with the trading firm. However, it wasn't the right time to talk to them. He had to wait until the curse on their bodies was broken. And even after the curse is broken, he still needed to find an opportunity to talk about it. At the same time, he also needed to see how they react.
In the following period of time, Liu Qingrui stayed in the Shop. He didn't go out to do missions. This didn't mean that he was afraid of those people. He was worried that they would plot against him again. It was just that he now had enough contribution points to use for some time. Because of this, he didn't plan to go out. After all, going out to do missions was very dangerous. Who knows if those people in the trading firm would plot against him. It was safer to stay in the city.
Just like this, ten days passed before Firebird and the others appeared. Liu Qingrui invited them to his room and looked at them. Firebird and the others immediately took out the locust tree hearts that they had prepared. These locust tree hearts had a special black color. Each one was a foot long and half a foot in diameter. They looked very heavy.
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Good, very good. These locust tree hearts should be enough. Firebird, you go out and take a mission. No matter what kind of mission it is, as long as it allows you to leave the Shop."
Although the Firebird didn't quite understand what Liu Qingrui meant, he still nodded and then went to receive the mission. Before long, he returned and said to Liu Qingrui, "I've received an assassination mission. It's very simple. The location of the mission is Kunwu Mountain. Is it okay? "
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Yes, there's no problem. Kunwu Mountain has the Kunwu River, it's just right. Let's go." Firebird and the others nodded, then they followed Liu Qingrui to the Transmission Formation. Then they took the Transmission Formation and went to Kunwu Mountain.
Kunwu Mountain was a large mountain in the Spiritual World. It spanned nearly a hundred thousand li and had many branches. It was a famous mountain range in the Spiritual World.
In Kunwu Mountain, there were a total of five large and small sects. The largest of them was the Kunwu Sect. The Kunwu Sect occupied one-third of the mountain's surface area. The rest were small sects. Because of this, Kunwu Mountain had a lot of places for Cultivators to explore.
Liu Qingrui and the others appeared in a city at the foot of Kunwu Mountain. This city was called Jade Vein City. It was said that there was a jade vein near the city, hence its name.
After Liu Qingrui and the others entered Jade Vein City, they found a hotel to stay in. After checking in, the group gathered inside Liu Qingrui's room. Liu Qingrui looked at the group and said, "Firebird, tell us about this mission. After we finish this mission, we'll remove the curse on you. You don't need to worry about it. I'm just afraid that there will be more curses in this mission. If there are, then we can remove the curse after this mission. This will save us a lot of trouble."
Upon hearing Liu Qingrui, the Firebird and the others didn't say anything. The Firebird then took out a jade slip and explained the mission in detail to Liu Qingrui.
Their mission this time was very simple. They were going to assassinate a few disciples from a medium-grade sect. There were seven of them in total. This mission was very easy for them. Therefore, after the Firebird finished speaking, Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go and complete the mission. Once we're done, I'll immediately lift the curse on you. Let's go." Naturally, the group didn't have any objections. After paying the rent for a few days, they directly flew towards Kunwu Mountain.
Kunwu Mountain was a huge mountain range. Every day, a lot of people would come here to adventure. Moreover, there were people with all kinds of strength. Therefore, no one found it strange that Liu Qingrui and the others were flying towards Kunwu Mountain.
However, after arriving at Kunwu Mountain, they directly landed at the foot of the mountain. They couldn't just fly randomly in Kunwu Mountain. In fact, this was an unwritten rule in all adventuring places. This was because in Kunwu Mountain, there were a lot of powerful flying beasts. If you fly randomly in the sky, you might become a target of these flying beasts. Moreover, in addition to the flying beasts, the most dangerous thing in Kunwu Mountain was the people. A lot of Cultivators would hide in the woods and ambush Cultivators flying in the sky. Because of this, Cultivators generally wouldn't fly in the sky.
After Liu Qingrui and the others landed on the ground, they directly walked towards Kunwu Mountain. The information they received indicated the location of the people they were going to make a move on. Therefore, they directly went to find them. To be honest, Liu Qingrui really admired the intelligence system of the trading firm. If they wanted to investigate a person, it was really too easy. The details of the intelligence collection were far beyond his imagination. Just like now, they could clearly tell where the enemy was, not to mention other things. This kind of intelligence collection was really too powerful. From this point, it could be seen how strong the trading firm was.
Actually, Liu Qingrui was very curious. Since the firm was so strong, why didn't they think about conquering the Spiritual Realm? If Zhao Hai was in charge of the firm, then the Spiritual Realm would have already been under their control.
