Chapter 1048: It’s Only the Third Day! (3)

"How do you know?"

Hui Lijing’s eyes widened.

Jason did not answer; he merely took a sip of soy milk.

Of course, he knew.

The moment he had walked out of the room, the interface in front of him had clearly provided a prompt—

[Main Quest: Complete 33 exorcisms (1/33)]

Without a doubt, Jason’s previous strategy was correct.

Relying on the female detective’s connections to fulfill some special commissions could indeed count as effective exorcism instances.

Similarly, it also confirmed another conjecture of Jason’s.

The recognized exorcisms required compensation.

Thus, the key to exorcism is compensation.

It’s just not known whether it has to be a certain amount, or if any amount would suffice.

However, either way, this was good news for Jason.

It was only the third day.

He had already found the key to completing the main quest.

Would it take 99 days to complete all the main quests at this rate?

Jason thought somewhat sarcastically.

And the female detective had already pouted.

"You’re no fun."

"How come someone as strong and tall as you is also so sharp-witted?"

"Shouldn’t you have well-developed limbs but a simple mind?"

Muttering to herself, Hui Lijing then took out 1800 yuan in cash from her pocket and handed it to Jason.

"Here, this is the amount divided according to the ratio."

"I’ll keep an eye on the remaining cases."

Hui Lijing said this.

Jason took the cash and handed 100 yuan back to Hui Lijing before continuing to eat his breakfast silently.

He estimated the value of the breakfast in front of him.

100 yuan should be about right.

Although Hui Lijing probably doesn’t lack this 100 yuan, it doesn’t mean Jason won’t pay it back.

Everyone has their principles.

Jason is no exception.

He dislikes owing others.

This action naturally caught the eyes of He Tai.

From the start of breakfast till now, the usually silent He Tai suddenly experienced a massive shock.

Terrible!

This is just too terrifying!

Not only possessing power far beyond expectation but also understanding the ways of the world, such a great demon... truly unprecedented!

Even in the Warring States period, there weren’t such great demons!

Only in legends before the Warring States did such exist!

Each of those great demons was extremely famous!

But...

Such great demons shouldn’t have vanished, should they?

Even the ’Invitation of the Flourishing Moon’ shouldn’t have been seen.

How could they appear in the present world?

And why would the benevolent Master Tongshou Temple entrust the inheritance of Tongshou Temple to him?

Wait a minute!

Could it be... a conversion?

Suddenly, the wandering Onmyoji thought of something.

Immediately, the wandering Onmyoji’s view of Tongshou Temple changed.

It became even more respectful.

Not only did the monk save his life, but he also saved the lives of many.

To the wandering Onmyoji, Tongshou Temple’s monk was absolutely taking a demon into his own body.

Thinking this, the wandering Onmyoji could no longer restrain himself.

He placed his bowl on the table and then knelt down with a thud.

"Please, Master, take me in as your follower, let me serve by your side,"

The wandering Onmyoji said.

Since the monk at Tongshou Temple had saved him, he had this idea.

And now?

He was even more resolute.

The old monk at Tongshou Temple was taken aback, but his gaze instinctively turned towards Jason.

He was now staying at Tongshou Temple.

And the current Tongshou Temple was under Jason’s command.

Whatever he wanted to do, naturally required consulting Jason.

However, Jason did not pay attention to these.

Under the gaze of the old monk at Tongshou Temple, he stood up and walked towards the Sutra Depository.

Jason had not forgotten, he had yet to master the inheritance of Tongshou Temple.

"Master?"

The old monk asked in confusion.

"Continue the inheritance,"

Jason answered shortly.

"Understood."

The two immediately walked towards the Sutra Depository.

But just at that moment, the young officer, Urashima, hurried in—

"Lord Jason, there’s trouble!"
