Shen Li looked at the two people who came in together. No wonder Li Hao was so excited. It turned out that the master had called this skinny guy over.

The master had always wanted to spar with him, and now he finally had the chance.

Li Hao quickly cleared the table and said with a smile, "Master, that's enough. What do you want to play?"

Shen Jin said to Yin Baicai beside her, "Little Baicai, whatever tricks you want to play, I'll do it."

Yin Baicai glanced at Shen Jin, her eyes filled with murderous intent, as if to say, "Try calling me Little Baicai again."

Shen Jin smiled, seemingly oblivious to Yin Baicai's gaze.

He said to himself, "Then let's do what you're good at! I'm sure I can beat you."

Yin Baicai walked to the table: "Hurry up, best two out of three, let's bet on the numbers to see who's bigger!"

Shen Jin nodded: "Okay."

Those gambling in the betting den, overhearing Yin Baicai and Shen Jin's conversation, exchanged glances in unison. This pretty boy must be new here; the purple-robed young master of this betting den wins nine out of ten times. This kid's just waiting to cry!

Yin Baicai hadn't been to the gambling den for a long time, and besides, he had only been there twice, so naturally these people didn't remember him.

Suddenly, someone glanced at Yin Baicai and muttered to the person next to them, "Why do I feel like I've seen this fearless young man before?"

The person next to him urged, "Hurry up and place your bet! What are you muttering about? Are you going to play or not?"

"I'm coming."

Shen Jin and Yin Baicai started their game as well. The two of them each held a die and rolled the dice at the same time. Whoever rolled the higher number won.

Shen Jin shook her head confidently, and Yin Baicai followed suit without hesitation. When they both stopped, Shen Jin smiled and said, "Little Baicai, I'm sure to win."

Yin Baicai: "That's not necessarily true."

Li Hao and Shen Li both stared intently at the pot on the table that was about to be opened. They couldn't say for sure who would win, but they were convinced that Shen Jin was definitely the better player.

Yin Baicai smiled and said, "Three...two...one, open."

The result was astonishing; both of their dice had rolled sixes. Li Hao gasped, his eyes wide as he stared at the dice on the table, and exclaimed excitedly, "A...a draw!"

Shen Jin's smile deepened. Not bad, this kid has some skills. No wonder he's someone I, Shen Jin, have taken a liking to.

I, Shen Jin, am determined to be friends with this person. "Little cabbage, not bad, come again."

Yin Baicai broke out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, it was a game she was good at; it seemed this Shen Jin was quite formidable. He looked like a refined gentleman, but she hadn't expected him to be such a skilled gambler. She had met her match.

However, in order to get him to help the bully Li, I'll risk it all.

"Come again."

The second draw resulted in three sixes again, another tie. Even Shen Li, who was standing nearby watching, was excited. He knew his master's gambling skills. He hadn't expected this skinny guy to be so good.

Li Hao stared in shock at the fact that the game had ended in another draw. He was right to lose to this kid! This guy was someone who could rival his master.

People around them were drawn to the commotion, peeking over to see what was going on. "Wow, they're amazing! They've rolled three sixes twice in a row!"

If we're talking about luck, this guy's luck is just too good! They don't know about this skinny kid, but this purple-robed young master is quite formidable. For this skinny kid to be able to fight him to a draw, he must be quite powerful too.

After Yin Baicai and Shen Jin tied twice, the person who had been muttering earlier shouted from the crowd, "Ah, I remember now, isn't this the 'Little God of Gamblers' that Zhou Xiaosan always talks about?"

Those around him immediately recognized him upon hearing this. "It's true, but this skinny kid has gotten a bit fatter than before. No wonder no one remembers him."

Amidst the surrounding noise, the betting game between Yin Baicai and Shen Jin reached a fever pitch. After all, the two had tied in the first two rounds, and this final round would determine who won and who lost.

Shen Jin smiled and said to Yin Baicai, "Little Baicai, I don't believe you can draw with me this round."

Yin Baicai: "Let's start the feast."

The two opened their cups at the same time, and everyone around them was incredibly tense. Although they didn't know what they were betting on, their impressive gambling skills suggested that the stakes were quite high.

Another collective gasp filled the air. Li Hao exclaimed excitedly, "This...it's a tie again!"

Yin Baicai said regretfully to Shen Jin, "It's a tie again. Shall we have an extra game?"

Shen Jin laughed: "No need, I'll definitely help you out. Consider it making friends. This is the first time I've met someone I get along with so well."

Yin Baicai thought to herself narcissistically: Could this playboy have taken a fancy to me?

Yin Baicai quickly took a step back, "Let me tell you... don't love me, it won't end well."

Shen Jin was puzzled. "What do you mean by this?"

Yin Baicai: "..."

Shen Jin whispered a few words in Shen Li's ear. Shen Li looked up at Yin Baicai, then led Li Hao out of the gambling den.

Yin Baicai knew that Shen Jin had sent someone to help investigate, so she said to Shen Jin, "I won't thank you for your kindness. Come to my house when you have time, and I'll treat you to a big meal."

Hearing Yin Baicai say this, Shen Jin knew that he had agreed to what she had just said. She nodded: "Okay, don't forget to come after things are done."

Yin Baicai patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I mean what I say."

After saying that, Yin Baicai left the gambling den. He had to hurry back, otherwise Xiao Mo would be sad if she woke up and didn't see him.

Yin Baicai didn't notice that no sooner had he left the gambling den than two suspicious-looking men followed him.

Yin Baicai guessed that Li Mo would wake up soon, so he quickened his pace, and the two people behind him immediately followed.

Shen Jin, watching Yin Baicai hurriedly leave from the gambling den, couldn't help but chuckle. This little Baicai was truly afraid of her man. She'd only been there a short while and was already rushing off.

Suddenly, Shen Jin noticed two folded pieces of paper had fallen off the stool that Yin Baicai had just sat on. He bent down and picked them up. Could these be Yin Baicai's things?

He opened it and immediately recognized that the paper in his hand contained two recipes with instructions on how to cook the dishes.

His brow unfurrowed, and he finally understood why Yin Baicai was so close to Hongxilou. It turned out that all the dishes at Hongxilou were made by him!

No wonder Hongxi Restaurant suddenly introduced a new cuisine recently, and with some unusual cooking methods. Connecting the dots, Shen Jin suddenly understood.

Thinking that he had to hurry up and send the recipe back to Yin Baicai, Shen Jin tucked the things into his pocket and strode towards Hongxilou.

Zhou Xiaosan and Lai Mazi looked at Yin Baicai walking ahead with resentment in their eyes, gripping their wooden sticks tightly.

Yin Baicai, who was rushing back, was knocked unconscious by Zhou Xiaosan with a stick.

Before he passed out, he turned his head and happened to see the emaciated Zhou Xiaosan and the disheveled Lai Mazi.
