This Demon Fox had some possessions. With the savings of a century-old demon, if all were converted into mundane gold and silver, it would more than suffice to compensate seven or eight victimized families; the possessions of a being in cultivation and those of a common mortal were completely different concepts.
They left nothing for Jianjia Temple. Master Nanneng would never accept such wealth; the same was true for the two of them—these items were not to be touched, lest they lose a lot for a little gain.
In solving this decades-old mystery case, they should be enjoying the fruits of their moral action. Only a fool would handle these items.
The ultimate outcome would probably be to use them for public welfare projects or to compensate victims in other cases; not every cold case finds its perpetrator, and not every perpetrator is as good at managing finances as Hu Wen.
