No matter the reason, whether there's hardship or not, abandonment is abandonment. This kinship has already vanished; whether it can be rebuilt in the future depends entirely on whether the other party has ever put effort into maintaining it or will do so.

Of course, regardless of what the other party does, he still owes them a debt of gratitude at least for giving birth to him. But this is merely repayment!

In certain aspects, Xiaoyao is quite passive; if others are kind to him, he reciprocates, and if they harm him, he retaliates.

This applies universally, regardless of the closeness or status of the relationship—no one gets special treatment!

To Xiaoyao, all people are equal. Take these courtesans as an example: although they feel inferior, Xiaoyao has never looked down on them; if he liked them, he would be with them, provided that he liked them.

"Ah, sir will stay here for around ten days" the women asked in surprise and delight.

Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Yes, I agreed to teach Mudan how to play the zither..."

"You'll only teach me Don't let your other mistresses have a share of you," Mudan interrupted.

"Mudan, don’t be so stingy. What’s yours is ours; therefore, sir belongs to all of us equally, and we should learn together," one woman said with a laugh, trying to include Xiaoyao in their group.

"You shameless things! How utterly disgraceful!" Mudan shouted loudly, though her anger seemed more playful than genuine.

"That’s right; if we weren’t shameless, how could we be your sisters"

“…”

"I don't mind you watching from the side, but teaching all of you will take up too much time," Xiaoyao said.

"That's right. Sir doesn’t have time for it, and I barely managed to get ten days; if you want lessons, earn them. It’s a privilege just to watch us," Mudan told her sisters, adopting some of Xiaoyao’s personality traits not to waste resources.

"Scrooge! Sir didn’t say anything about paying him," the women said disdainfully towards Mudan, seemingly forgetting that Xiaoyao had already collected their tuition fees earlier.

"This: I agree with Mudan. You’ll have to pay me!" Xiaoyao replied straightforwardly without any sense of embarrassment at all.

“…”

The women fell silent, realizing that Xiaoyao was quite practical and not as distant as they thought. They were even a bit speechless due to his realism.

"Haha! Now you know! I’ll ignore you guys. I need to work; don’t know where Mr. Qi is…" Mudan laughed flirtatiously, leaving to attend to what she deemed her most important task.

"I have to go too. Carry on," Xiaoyao said as well.

"Okay..." the women responded.

"Move aside; I can’t get past you like that." Xiaoyao told them, not wanting to barge through like Mudan did.

“Ah!”

The women exclaimed and immediately moved to clear a path for him.

"Sir!" the women called out as he headed down the stairs. They leaned over the railings, waving with flirtatious grace, leaving everyone below stunned.

Who were they calling Those who didn't know thought: What rich and powerful person could command so many beauties

The city governor The provincial governor Or someone from Qi’s family...

Nope, all wrong! They soon learned that these talents weren’t summoned for service but respected because of the caller's extraordinary skills.

"Hmm" Xiaoyao turned back to look at them. Is this about me Must be a mistake.

"Have a safe journey," they said with smiles.

“Uh, uh!”

Xiaoyao was confused by the women's actions; could it be just for that Really

"Haha...

The women began to giggle, feeling somewhat triumphant. It seemed that they only wanted to tease Xianyun a little and didn't have any other intentions.

"..."

Forget it, women are just like this; impossible to understand!

Xianyun wasn’t disturbed by the women's antics. He first went back to the inn to cancel his reservation; originally, the innkeeper was unwilling, but Xianyun used some persuasive words and managed to get a refund.

"Brother, come gamble! You're sure to win big!"

"Really"

When Xianyun passed by a gambling house, someone suddenly tried to talk him into coming in. This person was the gambling house's solicitor and saw that Xianyun was alone with decent clothing, thinking he would be an easy target.

However, what this man didn’t know was that he wasn't bringing in just a "fat sheep," but rather a "little fox." He would soon regret his decision!

Xianyun had originally wanted to visit the gambling house when he arrived here. But before, there were other matters to attend to, and naturally he couldn’t waste time at the gambling house. Now that these matters seemed resolved, it was a good opportunity to go inside for some entertainment, so he readily agreed and got pulled in.

"Yiruigouzhang" Xianyun saw the signboard of this gambling house and knew what kind of establishment it was. It was rumored that the Yiruigouzhang had a powerful backing and substantial capital to handle big bets.

Simultaneously, this gambling house was well-equipped with various gambling facilities inside, featuring different betting methods each with their captivated crowds.

"What kinds of games do you have here" Xianyun asked. The solicitor who brought him in was still by his side and would help him get chips as a commission since he had brought in a new customer.

In this large gambling house, to ensure safety, players could use the casino's chips on the tables; cash was also accepted but winnings were given only in chips by the house.

With so much money potentially changing hands at each table, it wouldn't be practical or safe to have stacks of silver coins ready. This is why tokens replaced actual currency for betting.

The solicitor promptly responded professionally: "We have many games such as Big & Small, Pai Gow, guessing the character flower, Mahjong, Go, Six-Board Chess... Cockfighting, Pigeon Fighting, Cricket Fighting... Horse Racing, Dog Racing..."

"Horse racing too" Although Xianyun was prepared mentally, he was still surprised to hear this. The gambling house offered all kinds of games and could attract those looking for fun beyond just gamblers. He hadn’t expected them to have horse racing, which would require a lot of space.

"Yes! We have the race track right outside. You saw an arch bridge when you came in; that's where the racetrack starts!" The solicitor explained.

This gambling house indeed was professional in its design and operation. Gamblers could watch races from a central tower, providing a good view of the progress.

Such a place really needed to be visited for firsthand experience!

"We also have fighting arenas where humans fight against demons or other creatures—very thrilling but very brutal; only high-ranking officials and those with big courage can handle it. I don't think you’d find that interesting, sir," the solicitor continued.

"I’m not interested in that." Xianyun immediately shook his head. He wasn’t averse to seeing bloodshed, but he had no desire for such excitement and didn’t enjoy it.

"That’s not really fun either; only those seeking thrills go there. Let's get you some chips and play something more enjoyable," the solicitor agreed.

"Alright, then recommend me something." Xianyun smiled as he said this, since he didn’t know where to start himself.

"I suggest Big & Small; it’s the fastest and most popular. If you want a slower pace, try Pai Gow or Mahjong," the solicitor replied, introducing games with quicker outcomes like Six-Board Chess rather than Go or Chinese chess.

"Then I’ll start with Big & Small then move on to other games…" Xianyun said with a smile.

To play every game This would be a big client indeed. The solicitor was overjoyed, thinking Xianyun as an easy target and possibly the son of a wealthy noble visiting the city for entertainment.

Many visitors came to this Silverheart City to gamble just for fun and leisure, spending considerable sums despite not being proficient at gambling. Most would lose their money eventually due to continuous play while some could control themselves and win small amounts before leaving.

The latter group was inconsequential to the casino’s operation; they didn’t mind these occasional winners as it attracted more gamblers who would ultimately contribute to profits.

Overall, gambling houses aimed for a majority of their patrons to lose rather than win!

Just as the solicitor felt content with Xianyun being an easy target, his satisfaction abruptly halted into embarrassment...

"Ah, can't exchange coins here" When Xianyun tried exchanging chips, he was refused because all he had was a single copper coin.

"Of course we accept exchanges but not for such small amounts," the solicitor sweat-dropped. He saw that Xianyun only had one copper coin to exchange—far below their minimum of ten coins each token.

The missy dragged Xiao Yaoyao along, not because she thought pulling Xiao Yaoyao would influence everyone, but simply because she just wanted...
