The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The crowd became agitated when they saw the result.

"One, one, two, four o'clock, this..."

"Shopkeeper Li, did you...lose?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I could witness this moment."

The excited and disbelieving voices in the crowd reached Li Feng's ears clearly.

Li Feng's stunned eyes gradually became cold. Even people with real strength can only decide their own points. Only tricks can change the points of others.

He originally thought that the other party was a true master like him, but he didn't expect that the other party's tricks were so superb that even he was fooled.

But no one could get away with cheating under his nose.

Li Feng raised his hand to signal the thugs behind him.

"Since you are so disrespectful to Li and dare to provoke him in person, you must be prepared to offend the casino."

"Brothers, show him what you can do!"

The crowd scattered, and the thugs behind Li Feng rushed forward at his command.

Lu Shi had already assumed a fighting posture. He touched his face with some relief. Fortunately, he had disguised himself, otherwise the original owner's sickly personality would have been completely destroyed.

Lu Shi dodged the oncoming stick by leaning sideways, then slid behind one of the men and kicked him away. Then a stick came towards Lu Shi's waist, but Lu Shi dodged it in time and delivered an elbow strike.

There were many people on the opposite side, so Lu Shi tried his best to stretch the front line and not enter the enemy's encirclement, but just defeat them one by one.

Although the opponents were all muscular men, they could not withstand Lu Shi's lightness and flexibility.

After several rounds, the opponent was covered with bruises, and Lu Shi's clothes were slightly dirty.

"Stop it, cough cough cough."

A group of people quickly rushed into the casino and surrounded it, led by a group of talented people and young men in their twenties.

Coughing sounds were heard, and Li Feng hurriedly went to meet them.

"Master, why are you here? The weather is gradually getting colder, so you should take good care of yourself.

You servants are such a jerk! The young master is going out so late without any proper arrangements. If anything happens to the young master, you will be held responsible."

"Alright, Uncle Li," the young man said, "I wanted to come out on my own. They can't do anything to their master even though they're servants."

Wen Huaian patrolled the casino and his eyes stopped on Lu Shi.

The boy was surrounded by broken tables and chairs and thugs lying on the ground groaning in pain. Only he stood in the center, bathed in the light, and welcomed the baptism of everyone's gaze.

The tall young man's calm and clear eyes met Wen Huaian's. In a trance, he seemed to see the arrival of a god.

Wen Huaian's heartbeat gradually quickened, and an inexplicable itching sensation arose in his throat. He coughed hard a few times before suppressing the itching.

"I already know what happened today," he said slowly to Lu Shi, "We were certainly wrong, but now isn't a good place to have this conversation. Please move to the second floor so we can discuss compensation."

Looking at the chaotic casino, Lu Shi agreed that this was a good idea. It wasn't a good place to talk. Besides... He looked at Wen Huaian with a gleam in his eyes, like a hunter ready to strike.

"Young Master, you can't do it alone..." Li Feng wanted to say something, but fell silent under Wen Huaian's unquestionable gaze.

"Uncle Li, please take care of this first. We are closed today."

Lu Shi came to the room on the second floor under the guidance of Wen Huaian.

After pouring Lu Shi a cup of tea, Wen Huaian spoke first, "Your Excellency's hospitality today is truly inadequate, and we have embarrassed everyone. As compensation, the bet between Shopkeeper Li and you will still stand, and you will be given an additional five hundred taels. I hope you will forgive me."

"Yeah." Lu Shi nodded and got another five hundred taels for free.

"However," Wen Huaian paused and said tentatively, "It's a good thing that you are just killing time today and not deliberately coming here to mess things up. Otherwise, my casino would be in big trouble."

"Come in and win some money to spend. Money's a bit tight lately." Lu Shi picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea slowly, without the slightest sense of being tested.

Wen Huaian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "With your strength, this is indeed a good way to make money quickly.

Since you are short of money, I am willing to play the role of host.

Add another five hundred taels and make friends with you. This is a meeting gift."

"I cannot refuse your kindness, sir, so I accept it. Thank you very much," and he got another five hundred taels for free.

"As long as you like it." Wen Huaian changed the subject.

"It's just that the casino may need some recent closures. If you're interested, the Boshan Casino on North Street is definitely worth a visit."

The fox's tail was finally exposed. The 1,000 taels of silver were not obtained for free, but Lu Shi obviously did not take it to heart. Winning money is winning.

So the two of them happily reached a consensus.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

After solving the problem, the itchiness in his throat couldn't be stopped. Wen Huaian covered his chest and lowered his head to cough heart-wrenchingly. In the end, he couldn't help but retching.

At this time, a cup of tea was handed over from the right.

"Thank you."

After drinking it, Wen Huaian's uncomfortable condition was significantly relieved. He felt a refreshing warm current flowing slowly in his body, sweeping away the heavy burden on his body. He took a deep breath of relief.

How long has it been since his body felt so relaxed?

Wen Huaian was a premature baby. As soon as he was born, the doctor gave him a critical illness notice, which started the countdown of his life.

He was lucky enough to be born in a wealthy family with loving parents and a harmonious family. As the only son in the family, his parents would use all their fortune to protect him.

He knew from a young age that he was different from other children. The children of the servants in the house could jump around, climb trees and swim, but he could only stay in the room and even had to think carefully before opening a window.

He never complained because he was lucky. When others were worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation, he was already at the top that they could not reach.

He told himself that he was lucky, so he tried his best to keep smiling in front of his parents and people who cared about him, pretending not to care about his body.

But how could I not care? The inexplicable negative emotions that erupted when I was alone, the pillow soaked with tears at night...

Emotions always come out of nowhere. Lu Shi watched helplessly as the young man's eyes turned red and he was about to cry because of a cup of tea. He felt a little guilty for a rare occasion. Did he mean well but end up doing something bad?

"This tea..." The boy's voice was choked, his eyes full of expectation.

Wen Huaian's question finally reminded Lu Shi of the purpose of his visit.

"I added a small pill to help alleviate your condition."

"Excuse me, where can I buy this pill?" Wen Huaian tried his best to hide his excitement, but the physiological blush caused by his accelerated heartbeat exposed him completely.

The goal has been achieved. Lu Shi opened his lips slightly, and the smile in his eyes was clearly visible.

"Qingning Town, Changping Village."
