”Amituofo... Master Fang!”
Jiese the Monk was stunned as he saw Fang Yuan who had came to look for a roof over his head.
”Monk... the room that you have rented is a little too... lousy?”
Fang Yuan tossed his luggage on the ground and commented on the room with dissatisfaction.
”For a traveller, I am already satisfied to have a place to stay. Most importantly...”
Jiese the Monk blushed. ”I don't have money!”
”That's true... According to you, this is the first time you have ever left your mountain...”
Fang Yuan nodded his head. ”Don't worry. Looking at your skills, you will be able to get anything you want if you help any haunted house perform an exorcism...”
”Amituofo, that is what I think too.”
Jiese the Monk did not hide his thoughts and spoke the truth.
Even among the Exorcists Alliance, there were only a few exorcists who could really deal with ghosts. The members of the alliance spent most of their time telling the fortune for others or provide blessing services, which were totally unrelated form exorcism.
To any exorcists, it was not as worth it to risk their lives against powerful ghosts and curses in order to earn a living. They would rather do other things to get rich!
”But... Why are you here?”
Jiese the Monk froze on the spot.
He knew that Fang Yuan was ruthless. Although Fang Yuan had the skill to seal ghosts and seemed reliable, if he were to accidentally release the ghosts, Jiese the Monk would be the first to die!
”Recently, I've felt danger all around me. I cannot rely on the both of them at the office, so I've come to look for someone I can rely on to help me!”
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and spoke the truth, which almost choked Jiese the Monk.
Although he had successfully defended himself from the attack of the Door, it was still the strongest curse Fang Yuan had ever seen in his life. He wasn't even sure if Jiese the Monk would be able to help him fight against such a strong curse.
Furthermore, although Fang Yuan's killer moves were the ghosts sealed in him, his Spirit Sealing Body was also a double-edged sword. If he was not careful enough, he might just harm the people around him, especially if he were to release two Strange Level curses at once!
This was the reason why Fang Yuan wanted to move out as soon as possible to look for Jiese the Monk.
”It's alright... Considering your abilities and good karma, you will remain unharmed even if I were to accidentally release the ghosts in me!”
Fang Yuan comforted Jiese the Monk. ”If you want me to leave, then feed me with intelligence form the alliance. I will be able to start on my world tour then...”
With the experience of fighting against the Curse of the Door, Fang Yuan had gained a deeper understanding of his own capabilities.
The power of two Strange Level curses would not be enough to fight against the Green Bronze Door.
In order to stand any chance against it, Fang Yuan had to find stronger curses to seal!
In reality, other than the Exorcists Alliance, Fang Yuan also had a few followers under him. They were the traders of the pawnshop.
For instance, Lu Bingqi had been tasked to search for another curse as powerful as the pawnshop.
Fang Yuan had also promised him that if he were to find a Strange Level curse, Fang Yuan would help him remove the seal from his soul. With this, he would not have to worry about the traders not taking their tasks seriously.
'With so much control, I'm sure I will be able to find something, right?'
Just as he was thinking to himself, Jiese the Monk was feeling the pressure from him. At this moment, Jiese the Monk excused himself to pick up a call before returning to Fang Yuan with joy written all over his face. ”After the alliance had heard of your story, they are extremely interested in you. The leader of our area is already on a flight and is about to reach us soon!”
”The leader of our area?”
Fang Yuan replied casually. ”Alright then, I shall pay him a visit.”
He picked his luggage up and walked out towards the door.
”Eh?”
Jiese the Monk appeared confused.
”I've already bought the apartment next to yours. Do you really think I will want to squeeze with you?”
Fang Yuan revealed a disgusted look and turned around. Jiese the Monk was lost as he stared blankly at his simple-looking apartment.
...
”I'm finally... back here!”
The plane gently landed on the runway and a row of passengers walked out of the plane.
Zhan Tianhu looked towards the city and sighed.
”Eh? President, have you been here before?”
Chen Xin immediately became excited and started to pester Zhan Tianhu.
”Alright sister, don't disturb the president!”
Chen Xin's brother held her back.
The weird thing was that although there were a lot of tourists, none of them felt that Zhan Tianhu's mask was out of the norm. Surprisingly, he had safely made it through the customs.
”Hehe... Actually, this is my hometown!”
Zhan Tianhu chuckled.
”Your hometown? If that is so, where is your house?”
Chen Xin's eyes were about to ignite with excitement.
”House?”
Zhan Tianhu was in a daze. ”In the depths of the mountains, my house remains sealed there. We rarely interact with the outside world... Furthermore, I...”
He shook his head and paused.
Seeing this, no matter how insensitive Chen Xin was, she was still able to tell that this was a painful memory for the president. Therefore, she kept her mouth shut and did not press on.
