Chapter 1490: Jin Fugui’s Ability

“...” Chu Muyun hesitated for a long time before speaking.

“Thank you... but... I was just about to write a letter to the higher-ups saying that I won’t be participating in this Medical Path Ancient Treasury mission.”

“?” The smile on the 8 of Hearts’ face froze instantly. “Why??”

The 8 of Hearts seemed to realize something, and her face turned ugly. She kept scrutinizing Chu Muyun before her, her tone extremely serious: “Has the illness in your body worsened? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable right now??”

“No.” Chu Muyun waved his hand. “It has nothing to do with my body... It’s just that compared to the Medical Path Ancient Treasury, there is another place I want to go more.”

“？”

The 8 of Hearts was puzzled. “You’re from the Medical God Path; if you don’t go to the Medical Path Ancient Treasury, where else do you want to go?”

Chu Muyun smiled slightly and didn’t answer.

Seeing this, the 8 of Hearts didn’t ask any further, but returned to the topic she was more concerned about:

“Is your body really okay?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“Then, should I go to the Medical Path Ancient Treasury with them?”

“Hmm.” Chu Muyun paused for a moment. “But it’s hard to say. If the Red King doesn’t agree to my request, I might still go with you guys...”

“You were the one who personally recruited him into the Twilight Society; no matter what, he wouldn’t refuse your request, right?” the 8 of Hearts asked suspiciously.

Chu Muyun shook his head.

“It wasn’t me who recruited him into the Twilight Society; he belonged to the Twilight Society all along... Even without me, he would have entered the Twilight Society.”

“But you are, after all...”

The 8 of Hearts stopped mid-sentence. “Forget it, anyway, no matter where you go, pay attention to your safety.”

“You should be the one paying attention to your safety. Unlike me, you don’t have any frontal combat capability. Even in the Medical Path Ancient Treasury, you have to guard against risks.”

“Oh, I know, do you need your apprentice to teach your teacher?” The 8 of Hearts waved her hand. “Then I’m leaving, write me a letter if anything happens.”

“No problem.”

As the 8 of Hearts left, the room fell into silence again.

Chu Muyun stood by the door for a long time, then slowly turned back toward the living room. A breeze rolled in through the gap of the open window, gently fluttering the curtains on both sides. On the simple desk in front of the window, an old photograph sat quietly.

“Cough, cough, cough...”

Chu Muyun coughed gently and walked to the desk. He raised his hand and slowly picked up the photograph.

Looking at the black-and-white figure in the photo, his eyes flashed with complexity.

“We...”

“will meet again.”

……

The sparkling river flowed silently along the city under reconstruction.

Three figures stood under a dilapidated bridge hole, looking at the shabby and simple "residence" before them, their mouths twitching slightly... Jiang Xiaohua tentatively raised his hand and poked the hen surrounded by a "chicken coop" made of scrap metal. The latter immediately let out a sharp "squeak," flapped its wings, flew out of the coop, and ran away into the distance, grumbling.

“...Jin Fugui, do you usually live here?” Jian Changsheng asked, looking at the simple, abandoned bed.

“Yeah,” Jin Fugui answered as a matter of course. He thought for a moment and added, “Of course, I don’t only have this one property... When the situation was best, I basically had a place in the bridge holes of all the major domains! But now... uh... the general environment is bad, so I only have three properties left: Lingxu, Tianchu, and Cangyun.”

Hearing the word "property," Sun Bumian’s expression became extremely strange. He subconsciously began to search his body, trying to find some loose change to give to this Twilight Society member who was miserably poor.

Compared to him, Jian Changsheng was practically a billionaire!

“Sorry... a chicken ran away,” Jiang Xiaohua said softly, pointing at the hen he had poked away, looking like a child who had made a mistake.

Jin Fugui waved his hand indifferently. “It’s fine, it will come back for dinner tonight.”

“……？”

“Well, as you can see, I really can’t fit three people here... oh, those who like living in the ground don’t count.” Jin Fugui dug out a broken bowl from somewhere. “Now I have to go out to work, you guys make yourselves at home.”

After saying this, Jin Fugui walked toward the street without looking back.

Jian Changsheng and the others looked at each other.

They had thought Jin Fugui was poor, but they hadn’t thought he was *this* poor... You have to know that the Twilight Society’s monthly salary was a large sum of money. They really couldn’t imagine how Jin Fugui had managed to make himself this poor under such circumstances.

It turned out that there were indeed many good people in the Tianchu Domain. Jin Fugui, dressed in rags, hadn’t walked out more than a few steps when a mother and daughter passed by on the street.

The girl saw Jin Fugui’s appearance and seemed unable to bear it...

She pulled her mother’s hand and said something.

Afterward, the mother helplessly took out a copper coin and handed it to the girl. Then the girl trotted forward and threw the money into the broken bowl in Jin Fugui’s hand... She didn’t say a word, looking a bit reserved and a bit scared, and ran away in a hurry after throwing the money.

“Thank you, little beauty!” Jin Fugui grinned and shouted at the girl’s back at the top of his lungs, “Little beauty, you’re such a good person, you’ll definitely be safe and sound in the future!”

As the words fell,

the copper coin in Jin Fugui’s hand shook slightly... The next second, it vanished without a trace.

In the dark, it seemed as if some power had penetrated the void and drilled directly into the girl’s back. At the same time, Jin Fugui’s own spiritual power grew by a trace that was almost imperceptible...

“...Hmm???”

Sun Bumian seemed to have sensed something, and astonishment appeared in his eyes behind his small round sunglasses!

He looked at the girl whose fortune had increased, then turned his gaze to Jin Fugui, who was grinning, and his expression became extremely colorful!

“This 7 of Hearts... has something going on??”

“Huh?” Jian Changsheng couldn’t sense anything unusual and nodded blankly. “Oh, he is indeed very powerful... It’s hard for an ordinary person to survive in such a difficult environment. In a sense, he’s better at surviving than I am.”

“No, you didn’t understand what I meant.”

Jian Changsheng didn’t understand, but Sun Bumian was different. He was the embodiment of auspiciousness and had an extremely keen perception of luck and fortune. He clearly knew how exaggerated what Jin Fugui had just done was... Even he, who had lived for thousands of years, had never seen such a special ability.

Sun Bumian searched his body for a long time but couldn’t find any money, so he could only turn his head and say to Jian Changsheng:

“Give me some money.”

“……”

Although Jian Changsheng grumbled a few times, he still handed the money to Sun Bumian. The latter took the money and immediately ran to Jin Fugui, who was sitting on the ground at the edge of the street.

Jin Fugui was also a bit puzzled when he saw Sun Bumian coming. Just as he was about to say something, Sun Bumian threw a silver coin into his bowl.

Jin Fugui was stunned and looked up blankly...

The two looked at each other.

The air remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Sun Bumian took the initiative to speak:

“Aren’t you going to bless me with something?”

“？？？”
