He was not someone who would be manipulated by others, so how could he accept such humiliation? But thinking of Li Tong's methods, he had to swallow his anger. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Boss Lu, I will sign this contract. But can the terms above be slightly modified?"

Li Tong shook his head and said, "The contract has been signed, how can it be changed at will? If you don't want to sign it, please do as you please."

Lu Liang felt helpless, knowing that he was in a difficult situation. He gritted his teeth and finally signed his name on the contract. After signing, he felt bitter and thought to himself, "Forget it, let's just deal with this bird man first and find a chance to get out later."

He suppressed his dissatisfaction and continued to look through the contract. When he saw the service period column, he could no longer hold back and exclaimed: "Ten years! This... this is too long!"

Lu Liang held the contract in his hand, frowning, his eyes full of confusion: "Brother Li, the service period we agreed on before was three years, why is it written on this contract that it is ten years?"

Li Tong smiled slightly and said calmly, "Brother Lu, you can rest assured about the reputation of my Yiren Law Firm. The three-year agreement will naturally count. But since you haven't reported in yet, I came to invite you in person. The labor fee should be included, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Liang's face darkened: "Brother Li, your calculation is too far-fetched. How can your two or three days of hard work be equivalent to my seven years of service?"

Li Tong shook his head and sighed, "Brother Lu, since you don't want to pay for the labor, then you have no choice but to accept the punishment. I have a Pure Clothes Dance Talisman. After you stick it on, you need to run around the street to offset it."

Lü Liang looked at the talisman in Li Tong's hand, and his heart was beating. He naturally knew the name of this talisman. Once it was attached, he would be unable to control himself and would dance wildly until the talisman became ineffective. He glared at Li Tong, but he could do nothing.

"Forget it, forget it." Lu Liang sighed, picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract, "Ten years is ten years, it's better than embarrassing myself on the street."

Li Tong saw this and showed a proud smile on his face. He threw a coin to Lu Liang and said, "Brother Lu, this is the contract between you and me. From now on, you are a member of Yiren Office."

When Lu Liang took the coin, he felt a strange force surge into his body, as if invisible shackles were binding him tightly. He smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself, "This Li Tong is really cunning."

Ordinary people may not be able to perceive the mystery of this contract, but Lu Liang is well aware of the pros and cons. Although he did not intend to abide by this contract completely, he had to accept the fate of being bound at this moment.

"Brother Li, I, Lu Liang, will sell myself to you for the next ten years." Lu Liang said lightly, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

Li Tong laughed and patted Lu Liang on the shoulder: "Brother Lu, don't worry, Yiren Law Firm will not treat you unfairly. You will definitely gain something in these ten years."

When signing the contract, Lu Liang felt a secret and tough bondage wrapped around him. He tried to break it with his hands, but found that the bondage was like an iron chain, unbreakable.

"Li Tong, how dare you plot against me!" Lu Liang glared at him, his hands showing signs of attacking.

Li Tong didn't take it seriously and chuckled, "Lü Liang, did you look carefully when you signed the contract? This restriction cannot be broken by your hands."

Hearing this, Lu Liang's heart sank. He had indeed not looked closely at it and thought it was just an ordinary contract. But now he was bound by this forbidden technique and could not be free for ten years.

"You!" Lu Liang gnashed his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do. He thought he could do anything with his hands, but he didn't expect to be defeated by this forbidden technique today.

Li Tong was secretly delighted when he saw this. He knew Lü Liang's ability very well, but he also knew that he was arrogant and could easily fall into a trap. Now this restriction technique was designed to deal with Lü Liang.

"Lü Liang, since you have signed the contract, you are mine. As long as you are obedient, I will naturally not make things difficult for you." Li Tong said lightly.

Although Lü Liang hated it, he could do nothing about it. He knew that he was trapped in a jar and could only be slaughtered.

"Ten years...I, Lu Liang, will work for you for ten years!" Lu Liang said gritting his teeth.

Li Tong didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It's only ten years, just a blink of an eye. As long as you work hard, I will not treat you unfairly."

Although Lü Liang was unwilling, he had no choice but to nod and agree. He knew that he had no way out at this moment and could only take it one step at a time.

Li Tong was satisfied when he saw this. He knew that Lu Liang was a smart man and that with a little guidance, he could become his right-hand man.

"Okay, Lu Liang. You go ahead, I have my own task to give you." Li Tong waved his hand, signaling Lu Liang to leave.

Although Lü Liang hated it in his heart, he could only bow his head and leave. He turned and left, but secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to break the forbidden technique and regain his freedom.

Li Tong looked at Lv Liang's departing back, with a sneer on his face. He knew that Lv Liang would not give in easily, but he also had his own ways to make Lv Liang obedient.

"Brother Ma, how are you?" Li Tong said with a smile, then turned sideways and introduced, "This is Brother Lu Liang, a rare young talent in Quanxing."

Hearing this, Lu Liang couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This way of introducing makes it seem like I'm some rare item." He looked up and saw Ma Xianhong raising his head with a strange look in his eyes.

"Lü Liang?" Ma Xianhong put down his work, stood up, and patted the dust off his clothes. "I have long heard of your great name. I am very lucky to meet you, the traitor of the Lu family who is good at soul-clearing techniques among all the people in the world."

Lu Liang raised his eyebrows. Ma Xianhong was straightforward and did not hide his curiosity at all. He was even more curious. He wondered who this Ma Xianhong was and why he was so interested in a traitor like him. Ma Xianhong walked up and stared at Lu Liang with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through his soul. Lu Liang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Ma Xianhong sigh and said, "Brother Lu, I have something to ask of you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Lu Liang's heart moved, and he thought to himself that what Ma Xianhong wanted might be related to the purpose of his trip.

Ma Xianhong said in a deep voice: "I have lost part of my memory, and I can't find a way to restore it. I heard that Brother Lu has profound attainments in the art of soul enlightenment, and maybe he can help me."

Hearing this, Lu Liang was shocked. Although he was a Quan Xing person, he was also familiar with Ma Xianhong's name. Ma Xianhong was a genius in the alien world, how could he lose his memory? He was even more curious, but he remained calm and said calmly: "Although the soul-clearing technique can peek into people's hearts, restoring memories is not my forte."

Li Tong interrupted and said, "Brother Lu, don't underestimate yourself. Your soul-clearing skills may not be as good as Qu Tong's, but there are very few people in this world who can match you. Brother Ma has lost his memory for a long time. If even you can't help him, then I'm afraid he will never be able to regain his memory."

Lü Liang was shocked when he heard this. Qu Tong? He had never heard of this name, but from Li Tong's tone, it seemed that Qu Tong's attainments in Shuangquan were even higher than his own?

Lu Liang nodded slightly, responded to Ma Xianhong, and then formed seals with his hands. A faint blue light overflowed from his palms, lingering on his fingertips like morning mist. He waved to Ma Xianhong, signaling him to relax his mind, and then the blue light flowed towards Ma Xianhong like water, enveloping him completely.

However, at the moment when the blue light touched Ma Xianhong's body, Lu Liang's brows suddenly frowned. He felt that the moment the blue light touched Ma Xianhong's memory, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not penetrate deeply. He was shocked and thought to himself: "This person's memory has been tampered with by someone, and the technique is so advanced that even my hands can't see through it for a while."

Although Lü Liang was shocked, he did not stop his movements. He took a deep breath and pushed the strength of both hands to the extreme, trying to forcibly break through the force that blocked his exploration. However, as his strength increased, the force that blocked him seemed to become stronger. The two forces collided violently in the depths of Ma Xianhong's memory, making bursts of buzzing sounds.

"Not good!" Lu Liang's heart trembled. He felt that Ma Xianhong's memory became extremely fragile under the impact of this force, as if it would collapse at any time. He did not dare to force a breakthrough again, so he had to slowly withdraw the power of his hands and remove the blue light that enveloped Ma Xianhong.

After removing the Soul-Clearing Technique, Lu Liang's face turned ugly. He shook his head and sighed, "This person's memory has been tampered with many times, and now it is full of holes. If you are not careful, it will completely collapse. Although I can get a glimpse of it, I can't completely restore it."

Li Tong, who was standing by, frowned when he heard this. He looked at Lu Liang and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lu, is there really no other solution?"

Lu Liang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that there is no way, but it will take time. Moreover, even if I can restore his memory, I can't guarantee that his self-cultivation furnace can go any further. After all, this self-cultivation furnace is the result of his hard work. If he can't adapt after his memory is restored, all his efforts may be wasted."

Ma Xianhong did not show any disappointment when he heard this. He looked at Lu Liang, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and said, "Brother Lu, I believe in you. As long as you can help me recover my memory, even if the self-cultivation furnace cannot go any further, I will have no regrets."

Lu Liang looked at Ma Xianhong's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel touched. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do my best."

Li Tong was relieved when he saw this. He patted Lu Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, you've worked hard. We still have other things to do next."

Li Tong saw Lu Liang working hard, his painful expression like an old horse whipped by time, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pity. He sighed softly, how come the lives of workers in this world are worse than those of cattle and horses?

Once upon a time, he saw a debate online about whether robots could replace human workers.

There was an interesting answer saying that although robots are good, they are a bottomless pit to maintain. How can it be as cost-effective as hiring a person?
What's more, if a person is sick, he has to pay for the treatment out of his own pocket, and the capitalists are naturally happy to do so. Li Tong sneered in his heart, these capitalists are really the source of all evil. But, isn't he also going further and further down this road?

He shook his head, brought his thoughts back to reality, and said to Lu Liang: "Lu Liang, you stay busy for a while. When things are done, you will have time to relax." Lu Liang raised his head, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly overwhelmed by fatigue.

After making all the arrangements, Li Tong planned to go upstairs and rest for two days. He had been busy with various trivial matters in the past few days and was already exhausted physically and mentally. However, the mission of Chen Jinkui was always on his mind, so he planned to find an opportunity to insinuate himself.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the sound of a door opening downstairs. Li Tong's heart moved. Could it be that Chen Jinkui came? He walked downstairs quickly, but saw Liu Yanyan standing at the door, looking outside with a look of surprise.

A middle-aged man stood outside the door, looking dusty and tattered, as if he had just emerged from some corner. Liu Yanyan frowned, wondering if this man was begging.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to care about Liu Yanyan's scrutiny, and asked directly, "Is Li Tong here?" Liu Yanyan was stunned, and then replied, "Yes, please wait a moment." Then he turned around and shouted upstairs, "Li Tong, someone is looking for you!"

Li Tong walked to the door and took a look, but he couldn't recognize who the middle-aged man was. He was confused, but he couldn't ask directly, so he could only politely say: "May I know your name? What can I do for you?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said, "Li Tong, you really don't recognize me?" As he spoke, he reached out and wiped his face, revealing a familiar face.

Seeing this, Li Tong was stunned and cried out, "You... why are you here?" The middle-aged man did not answer, but just looked at him with a smile, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Tong joked, "Brother Ding, why are you so exhausted? Did you meet some powerful character on the road?" Liu Yanyan smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. She thought that Ding Shimaan usually looked calm and composed, but today he looked so embarrassed. It was really rare to see him like this.

Ding Shimaan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Brother Li, please don't make fun of me. I came here just to compete with you." Upon hearing this, Li Tong laughed and said, "Okay, okay, since Brother Ding is interested, I will accompany you to the end."

The two smiled at each other and then came to the courtyard. Ding Shiman took a deep breath, moved his body, and shot into the distance like an arrow. Li Tong saw this and was not to be outdone. He flashed and followed closely. The two of them, one in front and one behind, started a fierce light skill competition in the courtyard.

After a while, Ding Shiman landed first, panting and saying, "Brother Li's Qinggong is indeed well-deserved. I admit I am better than you." Li Tong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ding, you are too kind. Your Qinggong is also extraordinary."

Ding Shian wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Brother Li, when did you arrive?" Li Tong was moved when he heard this, thinking that Ding Shian was indeed very thoughtful and could detect that I had concealed my strength. He thought for a moment and said, "I arrived a little earlier than you." (End of this chapter)
