Sun Yourong paused, then explained, "Simply put, you'll be completing missions in the name of your Lu Clan Temple.
The format is similar to taking missions yourself.
The difference is that you can either carry out these missions personally.
Or assign them to members under your Lu family.
As long as the mission succeeds, the military merits will all be credited to the Lu Clan Temple's account."
Seeing Lu Chen listen attentively, she gave another example:
"Say there's currently an S-rank temple mission to eliminate demons, with ten thousand military merit points as the reward.
You can complete it yourself, but once it's done, those ten thousand points will be deposited directly into the Lu Clan Temple's account, not credited to you personally.
But because of the special nature of temple missions, you can also send Miss Zeng. As long as she completes it, those ten thousand military merit points will likewise be credited to the Lu Clan Temple's account.
So, you can think of a temple as a 'corporate account.'
All rewards from temple missions belong to the public account.
And as the family head, you have the authority to allocate those funds and military merits.
