Xia Youjie

"Mr. Ichiro, thank you so much! Hanako said she slept very well last night."

Lin Yi stood at the entrance of the villa where the client, Saito, and her daughter lived, accepting their sincere thanks with a professional smile on his face, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"Ms. Saito, please forgive me for not exorcising the evil spirit that was harassing you for the past few days. It was an evil spirit that was roaming around the Tokyo area. Tracking it was troublesome, but staking it out was easy. That's why I was sure I would resolve the trouble for you within a week. Ms. Saito, you don't have to worry about being harassed by evil spirits anymore."

Because it's my turn to be harassed next!

Lin Yi thought to himself, but his face still wore a formulaic smile. However, his roguish yet serious face, coupled with his tall and straight figure, was enough to make the beautiful Saito Hanako's heart flutter.

"That would be best, Mr. Ichiro. Thank you for your hard work. This is our payment."

"Thank you, then I'll take my leave."

Lin Yi took the small storage box, about the size of his palm, from Ms. Saito, the client, put it in his pocket, and then, without lingering, turned around, got on his motorcycle, and sped away.

Instead of returning to his residence, he went straight to Haneda Airport.

After what happened last night, Lin Yi returned to his residence and immediately booked a plane ticket back to China, taking the bank card with him containing the savings from the past three months. He planned to run away after collecting today's payment.

He had no interest in dealing with this group of extraordinary protagonists on the grand stage of Japanese magic. He had only chosen to stay because this place, as the main stage, was teeming with magical spirits, making it easy to make money.

Moreover, there is a very high probability that they will master the reversal technique for healing themselves and the domain expansion necessary for top-tier combat power.

Lin Yi hadn't expected that he had misremembered the timeline of the Jujutsu Kaisen world, which led to the accident last night. Based on Lin Yi's understanding of Xia Youjie, once the other party learned from his two adopted daughters that there was an unregistered sorcerer like him in Shinjuku who was not officially registered in the Japanese sorcery community, he would definitely come knocking on his door and pester him, coercing or enticing him to join the so-called supreme sorcerer camp.

Lin Yi had no interest whatsoever. Although Japan's unique characteristics made it a vortex that attracted the world's magical energy, resulting in other countries or regions being filled with magical energy emitted by humans, very few magical spirits or sorcerers were born.

Back in China, I can't get as many orders as I do here, and I don't have a legal identity. But it's not like I can't do anything. If all else fails, I can just hand myself over to the government. With my skills as a first-level sorcerer, I can definitely get a stable job in the relevant department until retirement.

As for Xia Youjie, Lin Yi wasn't afraid of him.

Although the opponent is recognized by the Japanese official sorcery community as one of the world's four top-tier sorcerers, in terms of actual strength, the opponent, like Lin Yi, does not possess the reversal technique to heal himself, nor can he pull his opponent into the realm of his own mental landscape.

The reason it was rated as a top-tier skill is because of the opponent's technique, the Spell Manipulation Technique.

A technique that can transform wild cursed spirits into one's own shikigami with unlimited growth potential. Because of the technique's growth potential, Xia Youjie can become an army all by himself.

Based on Lin Yi's recollection of Xia Youjie's storyline in Jujutsu Kaisen and the current timeline, it can be roughly determined that Xia Youjie currently possesses approximately four to six thousand cursed spirits ranging from level four to special level.

The standard for evaluating a top-tier sorcerer is not based on how many spells or skills they have mastered, but rather on whether they possess the destructive power to overthrow or destroy a country in a short period of time.

Xia Youjie, who has mastered the art of manipulating spirit curses and whose potential for growth is limitless, possesses such destructive power. Once the spirit curse is unleashed, hundreds of ghosts roam the night, and a city can be turned into a ghost town overnight.

He had no interest in getting entangled with Xia Youjie, lest he be targeted by the freak Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer in modern times.

But what Lin Yi feared most was exactly what happened to him.

Before the motorcycle even got on the highway, Lin Yi's intuition gave him a warning.

Without a second thought, Lin Yi instantly switched his spell, Level Two Reversal, into Spellcaster form. As his spell power surged, Lin Yi saw a spell spirit suddenly descend from the sky in front of him.

This cursed spirit was covered in light green fur, had limbs like an ape, and its legs were crossed, hovering on the ground. Its face, however, resembled that of an elephant.

Moreover, judging from the curse power emanating from the other party, Lin Yi realized that this cursed spirit was far more powerful than the thing he had casually killed last night; it was a level one cursed spirit!

"ZOMBA!"

As the cursed spirit blocking Lin Yi's path spoke in human language, it raised its left hand, and a shockwave the size of a basketball rose up beneath Lin Yi's motorcycle.

Lin Yi had a warning the moment the cursed spirit launched its attack. With a simple enhancement of his cursed power, Lin Yi leaped high from the motorcycle seat. It was just a pity that his motorcycle, which he had bought outright less than three months ago, was now a pile of scrap metal.

WDNMD!

Seeing his beloved car reduced to scrap metal, Lin Yi was even more furious. He was prepared to avoid it because he couldn't afford to offend it, but it was still clinging to him relentlessly.

Lin Yi grew angrier the more he thought about it. He opened and closed his five fingers, and the powerful curse energy surging from his body began to form from nothing, creating a long spear containing curse energy, which he then projected at the elephant-trunk curse spirit below.

The spear slashed through the air with a sharp whistling sound and plunged straight down at the elephant-trunk-shaped cursed spirit.

The elephant-trunk cursed spirit did not choose to dodge or defend itself. Just as Lin Yi's spear was about to hit it, its body turned into a wisp of fluid and flew into the air. The spear stuck into the road surface, and the resulting explosion was enough to make the road maintenance workers scream. Fortunately, there were no vehicles or pedestrians passing by at that time, and there were no public cameras.

Lin Yi landed steadily, looking in the direction the elephant-trunked cursed spirit had moved.

A strong wind swept across the sky, and a giant four-winged pelican, visible to the naked eye, descended from the heavens. On its back, a man wearing five robes and a black Japanese monk's robe sat cross-legged, his hand supporting his chin.

Her features are gentle, like a Bodhisattva's. Her eyes and eyebrows are long and slender, and her large earlobes are very eye-catching. She wears her hair in a half-bun, with long hair hanging down her back, and a strand of bangs is fixed on her left forehead.

Just looking at his face, this guy should have been chosen as the male lead for the Japanese drama "From Five to Nine: The Handsome Monk Falls in Love with Me". He's definitely the kind of cool, handsome guy who could make Satomi Ishihara fall in love with him.

Lin Yi knew that only one person in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen possessed such a distinctive style of dress: Xia Youjie, a former third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, now a curse master, and the gatekeeper of the four great special-grade curse masters!

As the strange pelican bird landed, Xia Youjie slid off its back. The bird opened its large beak, and the sisters, Kaba Mimiko and Kaba Nanako, who had a brief conflict with Lin Yi last night, jumped out from it.

The two sisters ran to Xia Youjie's side like bullied children who went home to find an adult to back them up, pointing at Lin Yi in front of them.

"Lord Natsuyu, this is the guy who scared me and Mimi last night."

Xia Youjie approached Lin Yi with a gentle smile on his face.

"Last night, when Mimiko and Nanako were talking, I thought they had run into another monkey who only knew how to use brute force. It turns out that Mr. Lin Yilang is a powerful sorcerer. Hello, my name is Xia Youjie, the leader of the Panxing Sect."
