The clerk in the gambling house was so scared that he stumbled and took a few steps back. Then he said with a bitter face, "Senior, please calm down. But I really can't do anything. The stakes you placed were too high. We have already compensated you for all the money you betted. But... but Senior Li's stakes were also very high, no... very high. If we don't count his IOU, our gambling house will go bankrupt and close down. We really have no other choice!"
Baihu sneered and said, "You have no other options, so just let us collect a piece of white paper..."
Before Bai Hu finished speaking, Gu Liufeng suddenly took the paper from his hand, took a look at it, and slowly raised the corner of his mouth into a deep smile, "It's just an IOU. Bai Hu, let's go."
"Hmm? What do you mean? Don't we want these crystals anymore? The amount of crystals is very large..."
"Who said we don't want it?" Gu Liufeng turned around, the light in his eyes fading away, his peach blossom eyes were indescribably charming, "Didn't you see that there was the seal of the Li family on the IOU? Of course we will ask whoever owes the money to pay it back. What's the point of making things difficult for a small gambling house? Don't you think so?"
Baihu was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and an extremely happy and sinister smile appeared on his face.
The two men picked up the bags containing storage devices and walked quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion without stopping.

In the Lanxiang Garden of the City Lord's Mansion, He Xi and Nangong Yu were fighting on a black and white chess game.
He Xi frowned, and was reluctant to put down the white piece in his hand.
Nangong Yu, on the other hand, looked relaxed. He drank tea while looking at and admiring He Xi's slightly frowned brows, a rare look of distress.
On the open space nearby, Dandan, Little Golden Dragon, Little Dainiu and Little Li were playing. Ziming Youluo was circling in the air, while Mo Xiaotu and Shen Qingruo surrounded Xiaochi, teaching him how to speak and do some simple movements.
Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open.
Baihu and Gu Liufeng came in carrying two large sacks, shocking everyone in the room.
Mo Xiaotu couldn't help but said stupidly, "Brother Baihu, Brother Liufeng, did you use the crystals you won to buy spiritual grains? Why did you buy so much? Is Sister Xiyue going to cook a big meal today?"
Baihu and Gu Liufeng met the curious looks of everyone in the room and couldn't help but chuckle.
Baihu smacked his lips and said, "Two sacks of spiritual grain? Little rabbit, stop joking, okay? Even if we collect all the spiritual grains in the entire Miluo Continent, they are not as valuable as these two sacks in our hands!"
Having said that, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, Baihu put down the sack on his shoulder and poured out everything inside.
Another person who made the same move was Gu Liufeng.
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of clanging, the sound of metal hitting each other or falling to the ground.
But everyone in the room was stunned by the scene.
Even Qinglong, who was always calm and composed behind Nangong Yu, couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed: "This... are these all crystal stones?"
“Hehehe! Are you scared?” Baihu laughed proudly, “These are all the bets that our princess helped us win back! Tsk tsk, when I first saw it, I was so scared that my eyes almost popped out.”
Dandan rushed to the hill with his short legs, pulled out a storage ring, and dug inside. (To be continued)
