A handsome man sat at the foot of the ladder.

He wore a simple white robe, without any decoration, the hem of which reached the ground, yet remained spotless.

Perhaps because he was near the white staircase, this person was surrounded by a faint aura. He was holding a copy of "World Entertainment Weekly" in his hand, and his slightly curly white hair was quite eye-catching.

Li Aili walked up to the man, whose eyes were still glued to the gossip and interesting stories in the newspaper.

This person seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Li Aili looked at Bognar, hoping to get some hints.

However, Bognar stood frozen in place, his eyes turning into dragon eyes, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints, and a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead.

He froze, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Li Aili even noticed that he seemed to be trembling slightly.

What could make a 1200-year-old dragon so afraid?

In short, this is most likely not a person.

Li Aili also stopped and turned to run.

The man sitting casually by the ladder finally put down the World Entertainment Weekly he had been reading a year ago.

His features were very ordinary; he was the kind of person you would never notice in a crowd.

"I'm sorry, I really like this newspaper."

"I was so engrossed in watching that I didn't notice you had arrived."

The man's voice was clear and melodious, like a bird singing softly at dawn, pleasing to the ear.

Li Aili appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was practically leaping out of her throat.

"We just need to go upstairs to take care of some business. If it's not convenient here today, we can come back another day!"

After saying that, she turned to leave.

The man in the white robe stood up unhurriedly, and with a casual wave of his hand, the copy of "World Entertainment Weekly" vanished into thin air.

Li Aili seemed to be nailed to the spot, staring at that white jade-carved hand for three seconds.

"It'll only take you a little while." The man smiled, looking as harmless as a white fawn.

Li Aili forced a smile. "Of course."

The man in white robes opened his mouth and said, "I..."

A line of large, golden characters appeared in the air.

Remember to toss the 'gold coin'!!!

Upon seeing this line of text, the man slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, look at my memory..."

Muttering to himself, he slipped one hand into his wide sleeve and pulled out a very special gold coin.

The obverse of the gold coin features a smiling woman's portrait.

The 'Smiling Lady' wears a crown inlaid with colorful gemstones.

It is these exquisite gems that make this gold coin stand out from the crowd.

When Li Aili looked at the gold coin, the woman's portrait on the coin seemed to glance at her as well!

Li Aili shivered involuntarily, a chill creeping up her spine from the soles of her feet.

The man in white clenched his fist and pressed the ancient and unusual gold coin against his thumbnail.

He flicked his finger lightly, and the gold coin made a crisp 'ding' sound as it tumbled into the air.

The gold coins rose and fell, then returned to his palm.

On a fair palm, the smiling woman's portrait faces upwards, and the gold coin emits a faint golden glow.

The man looked down and saw the result, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank goodness, it's positive."

"Ugh! This coin is so troublesome, I have to flip it heads to know what's going on..."

Li Aili's gaze remained fixed on that gold coin; she wondered if it was just her imagination.

The gold coin just seemed to roll its eyes...?

The man in white robes muttered to himself, "This damn thing made by the goddess of fortune shouldn't even be considered one of the seven great treasures..."

One of the Seven Great Treasures?

The artifact that Fisheranaki used to help her find high-level magical plants.

Later, she also looked up relevant information and concluded that the 'gold coin' among the seven treasures should undoubtedly be the [Lucky Gold Coin].

I remember that book described this treasure as follows:

When you're unsure what to do, try tossing a 'gold coin' and asking 'fate' for guidance.

Li Aili speculated that the use of the "Lucky Coin" is to toss a coin when you are unsure whether to do something.

If the front is facing up, it means "okay"; if the back is facing up, it means "no".

Li Aili glanced at the man in white robes, then at the woman's portrait in his palm, whose eyes were practically rolling to the sky.

I'm starting to think about something. After that white-haired guy tossed the gold coin, he kept muttering to himself...

Li Aili wondered if what he said had already been considered a formal "question" by the "Lucky Coins".

Li Aili's expression grew increasingly strange.

The man in white noticed this and casually asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Li Aili hesitated for a moment before gently reminding him, "Is the way to use this gold coin to get straight to the point after activation?"

The mysterious man in white robes smiled and explained, "No, you have to say 'Thank you for the gift of fate,' and then it will..."

Before he could finish speaking, the gold coin in the white-robed man's hand vanished.

Li Aili: "..."

The man in white robes: "..."

"I'm sorry!" Li Aili apologized immediately.

The man in the white robe waved his hand dejectedly, then tossed the gold coin again.

This time, however, the goddess of fate gave him a beautiful 'back view'; the coin landed tails up, representing the goddess of fate's departing figure.

The man in white robes said, "Damn it, this thing can only be used three times..."

After saying that, he tossed the coin into the air for the third time.

Fortunately, this time the gold coin landed head up.
