Logically speaking, with Bao Yan's status, no one would dare to provoke him. Since Bao Yan had been banished, he had lost the chance to fight for the position of Patriarch. Since he had the ability to contribute to the Bao Family, the sons of the Patriarch no longer targeted Bao Yan. Bao Yan's status in the Bao Family was even higher than before. This made it even more unlikely for anyone to provoke him. Would that fat President Jiang still go against Bao Yan? Was he courting death?
In fact, Association Head Jiang's background wasn't simple. He was the son of the Jiang Family in the trading company and had been bestowed with the surname Jiang long ago. Moreover, he was very talented. However, his talent wasn't reflected in cultivation, but in business. This Association Head Jiang was very good at business. Every year, he could bring a large amount of income to the Jiang Family. It was precisely because of this that Association Head Jiang's status in the Jiang Family wasn't low and he was highly valued by the Jiang Family.
On the other hand, the Jiang Family and the Bao Family had always been on bad terms. The two families would fight from time to time. Of course, this fight wasn't really about sending people to fight. Their fight was mainly reflected in their business operations. What they competed in was income. If the disciples of the two families met, it was normal for them to quarrel with each other.
It was precisely because of this that it wasn't surprising that Fatty Jiang was targeting Bao Yan. Liu Qingrui was the first person from the Three-Mountain City's Chamber of Commerce to enter the City for a long time. Naturally, the Jiang Family wanted to suppress Liu Qingrui, which was why they took action previously. However, this matter was immediately known by Bao Yan. Bao Yan immediately asked the Bao Family to come forward and warn the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family naturally wouldn't fall out with the Bao Family for Liu Qingrui. Therefore, Liu Qingrui was really safe now.
Of course, Liu Qingrui had calculated all these things himself. He only knew that the Jiang Family and the Bao Family didn't get along. He didn't know anything else, but he believed that his guess shouldn't be wrong.
However, after reading this information, Liu Qingrui wasn't very concerned about Master Bao's matter. Master Bao's origin was too great. It was impossible for someone like him to give up his family and truly join the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, it was better not to think about instigating Master Bao to defect. Otherwise, he might expose himself.
After receiving the information, Liu Qingrui let out a sigh of relief. Then he slowly walked out of the room and looked at the sky. In a few months, the Sea Exploration Sect would enter the spiritual world. He had done everything he could. Now, it was best for him to not think about taking any action. If others knew about the Sea Exploration Sect's plan because of his actions, it would be troublesome.
While Liu Qingrui was thinking about these things, the courtyard's door was pushed open. Then Liu Qingsong walked in. Looking at Liu Qingsong's appearance, he seemed very anxious. However, he still carefully closed the door. Then he walked in front of Liu Qingrui and gave him a salute, "Master, I have something to tell you." Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Master, I have something to tell you."
Liu Qingrui looked at Liu Qingsong and said, "Alright, let's talk inside." Then he turned around and led Liu Qingrui into the room. After entering the room, Liu Qingrui used a soundproofing spell to separate the room. Then he said, "What's the matter?"
Liu Qingsong immediately replied, "Master, I just heard some news. It's about the Sea Exploring Sect."
Liu Qingrui stared, then his expression changed, "About the Sea Exploring Sect? What's going on? Can you tell me more about it? "
Liu Qingsong nodded, then he said, "Today, when we were resting at the academy, I heard from my fellow students that they found some people who claimed to be from the Sea Exploring Sect. They were asking around in the continent and were discovered by several Sects. They wanted to catch them, but they managed to escape. Although the Sects managed to catch them, they used a projection technique to kill the Sects. I don't know where they are now."
Liu Qingrui nodded, then he sighed and said, "There's no need to care about them. Their lives and deaths are up to fate. As long as we complete our mission, we can't ruin the Sect Master's plan for them."
When Liu Qingsong heard Liu Qingrui, he quickly said, "Master, you mean to say that those people are from the Sea Exploring Sect? What I'm worried about is that the news about the Sea Exploring Sect would make people associate it with the Sea Exploring Gang in Tri-Mountain City. If they do, then the consequences would be unimaginable. "
Upon hearing Liu Qingsong, Liu Qingrui's expression changed. Then he nodded and said, "This is a troublesome matter. If someone really thinks that way, then it would be troublesome." Liu Qingrui's expression changed.
Liu Qingsong nodded and said, "Right. Master, others might not know about this, but Association Head Bao would. If he asks, what would you do?"
When Liu Qingrui heard Liu Qingsong's words, his expression turned ugly. He knew that Liu Qingsong's words were likely to come true. Association Master Bao might really know about this matter.
Liu Qingsong didn't know about Association Head Bao's origin. However, he knew that with Association Head Bao's status, he would certainly receive news about the Sea Exploring Sect. And if he received news about the Sea Exploring Sect, then it wouldn't be hard to guess that the Sea Exploring Gang was related to them. Moreover, his origin had always been a mystery. At this time, it would be strange if Association Head Bao didn't suspect him.
After thinking about this, Liu Qingrui's expression turned ugly. He thought for a moment before he said, "How about this, from now on, you have to carry this with you. If someone really wants to catch you, then immediately activate it. When the time comes, it will naturally send you to a safe place." While speaking, Liu Qingrui took out a portable teleportation formation. This teleportation formation wasn't the same as the teleportation formation in the spirit world. This teleportation formation had a barrier. Not only could it protect the person using the teleportation formation, but it could also block other formations. This way, the teleportation formation wouldn't affect the teleportation formation.
Liu Qingsong didn't ask anything, he just nodded and received the transmission formation. Then Liu Qingrui said, "This transmission formation will send you to the Five Ghosts Mountain. I have some information about the Five Ghosts Mountain. Once you arrive there, find a place to hide. If you have the opportunity, leave the mountain and go to Kunwu Mountain. I'll look for you there. If I don't, don't act rashly. When the Sea Exploring Sect descends to the Spirit Realm, you can go to the Sea Exploring Sect and say that you're my disciple. They will certainly accept you as a disciple. Right, take the token I gave you."
Liu Qingsong immediately replied, "Yes, Master. I understand. Master, will people really do that?"
Liu Qingrui said in a deep voice, "I don't know yet. I'll have to wait and see. If that day really comes, just do as I say."
Liu Qingsong nodded and didn't say anything else. Liu Qingrui also didn't say anything. Instead, he sighed and returned to his room.
Liu Qingrui thought that after this incident, the people of the trading firm would quickly take action. But to his surprise, the trading firm didn't take any action. It was as if they didn't know his identity. This made Liu Qingrui even more surprised. Even President Bao, who he thought would look for him, didn't. This made Liu Qingrui feel even more surprised. At this point, Liu Qingrui really didn't know what to do. If he ran away now, then it would be tantamount to asking for trouble. The people of the firm would certainly hunt him down. But if he didn't leave, then it would be too late if something were to happen in the future. This caused Liu Qingrui to be in a dilemma.
In this tense situation, Liu Qingrui spent another month. During this month, Liu Qingrui didn't stay idle. He went out with Firebird and the others to do several missions. However, he didn't ask Firebird to do anything for him. It was better for him to be honest for now.
A month has passed since Liu Qingsong learned about the Sea Exploring Sect. During this month, nothing happened. This made Liu Qingrui feel relieved. But just when he thought that nothing would happen, President Bao suddenly sent a letter to Liu Qingrui, asking him to return to Tri-Mountain City.
When Liu Qingrui received President Bao's letter, he immediately thought that President Bao might be looking for him because of the Sea Exploring Sect. However, Liu Qingrui didn't immediately choose to run away. This was because he felt that President Bao didn't have any hostility towards him.
If President Bao really wanted to deal with him, then he would've directly dealt with him. He wouldn't have waited for so long. Moreover, he wouldn't have sent a letter to Tri-Mountain City. With the strength of the firm, they simply didn't need to use any schemes to deal with him and Liu Qingsong. They could just send people to capture them. Because of this, Liu Qingrui thought that President Bao might not have any hostility towards him. Because of this, Liu Qingrui decided to return to Tri-Mountain City to see President Bao and see what he had to say.
Thinking about this, Liu Qingrui first went to Liu Qingsong and told him that he wanted to return to Tri-Mountain City to see President Bao. Liu Qingsong immediately understood what Liu Qingrui meant.
Liu Qingrui wanted to protect him. If Liu Qingrui didn't want to protect him, then he wouldn't have to bring him back to Tri-Mountain City. With Liu Qingrui there, Zhao Hai's projection would be there. With Zhao Hai's projection, they would be safer. No matter how many people were waiting for them in Tri-Mountain City, they wouldn't be able to kill them.
Liu Qingsong was a student of the Academy, so he could ask for leave. Because of this, Liu Qingsong directly asked for leave and returned to Tri-Mountain City with Liu Qingrui.
Using the transmission formation, they directly appeared in the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce in a room next to Bao Yan's office. Then the two walked out of the room and arrived at Secretary Yao's office.
When Secretary Yao saw the two, he nodded and said, "President Bao is in his office. Liu Qingrui, you can go in. Qingsong can stay here." Liu Qingrui didn't hesitate as he nodded and entered President Bao's office.
President Bao was currently looking at a jade slip. When he saw Liu Qingrui, he put down the jade slip and waved his hand to Liu Qingrui, "You're back. Have a seat." Liu Qingrui gave him a salute and thanked him before sitting down.
After Liu Qingrui sat down, President Bao looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Qingrui, you came from the Chamber of Commerce in Tri-Mountain City. I trusted you and took care of you. Can you tell me who you are? What is your purpose? "
When Liu Qingrui heard this, he immediately understood that President Bao had already guessed his identity. Liu Qingrui thought for a moment, then he looked at President Bao and said, "President Bao has always taken care of me. I'm very grateful to you. Since you asked, then I'll tell you the truth. I'm from the Sea Exploring Sect. I came here to inquire about information."
President Bao looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "What kind of sect is the Sea Exploring Sect? Why are you here to inquire about information?"
Liu Qingrui replied, "The Sea Exploring Sect is a very powerful sect. As for why I came here to inquire about information, I can't say it to outsiders. I hope President Bao can forgive me."
President Bao nodded, then he looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Then why did you join the Chamber of Commerce? Before, I didn't know your identity and thought that you joined the Chamber of Commerce to cultivate. Now that I know who you are, you must have another purpose. Tell me, why did you join the Chamber of Commerce? "
Liu Qingrui replied, "The purpose of joining the Chamber of Commerce is very simple. It's to gather information, and also to find out where the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is located. We're here to gather information about the various sects. Although the Chamber of Commerce is the biggest force in the spiritual world, it's still necessary for us to gather information about it. Therefore, I joined the Chamber of Commerce in order to see how strong it is." Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "That's why I joined the Chamber of Commerce.
President Bao looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Do you only want to gather information about the Chamber of Commerce? Don't you want to gather information about the other sects? I can see that you're quite comfortable being a disciple of the Chamber of Commerce. "
Liu Qingrui smiled faintly and said, "I originally wanted to gather information about the other sects as well. But later on, I discovered that it's not that troublesome. As long as I contribute to the Chamber of Commerce and raise my rank, I'll naturally be able to gather information about the other sects. It's even easier than gathering information by ourselves. Therefore, I'm content to be a disciple of the Chamber of Commerce. Why would I need to do it myself? Not only is it dangerous, but it's also very slow. "
When Association Master Bao heard Liu Qingrui's words, he stared blankly for a moment. Then he immediately understood the meaning behind Liu Qingrui's words. He couldn't help but smile faintly as he said, "You're really smart. But if you're really smart, then you wouldn't have named your gang the Sea Exploring Gang. Didn't you know that this would expose you?"
Liu Qingrui smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I knew. But I didn't think that they would be exposed. If I knew that they would be exposed, then I wouldn't have named the Sea Exploring Gang."
President Bao looked at Liu Qingrui and smiled. "You're a smart person. I think you should understand why I called you here, right?"
