Ordinarily, Li Hongjiu had no real desire for money. Within his normal survival threshold, even when compared to the survival thresholds of most people, he was someone who lacked neither money nor cultivation resources. However, having no desire didn't mean he disliked money.
Even the Treasure Refining Sect needed money to solve problems. In this world, was there anyone who didn't need money to solve some problems? Things had already reached this point; he was already on this pirate ship.
If there was something to be taken, why not take it? If he didn't, that scoundrel Shi Chun and that birdman Big Wu certainly wouldn't be polite. It would be a waste not to take it.
After helping him wrap the cloak back on properly, Wu Jinliang circled him twice more, inspecting and pointing out where not to pull it too tight, lest it look suspicious. It was not wise to linger here. Wu Jinliang's transformation technique could not be sustained for too long either.
After giving the basic instructions, he immediately sent Li Hongjiu back. The Shanbu Prefecture personnel, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, saw 'Yu Yifu' bring Li Hongjiu back and then leave again. His slightly raised eyelids closed once more, and he sensed nothing unusual.
