"Ah ha ha. That is… Err, that…." Li Shaoqiu suddenly looked uncomfortable. He avoided their gazes, stammered, and could not say a complete sentence. Finally he said, "Hehe, I don't have any more money on me. Wait for me to win some money and then I will treat you guys to a big meal."
"No more money?! How is that possible?" The envoy looked at him in shock. How could Li Shaoqiu not have any money?
"To be honest, I threw all of my money into the gambling den just now, so I have no more money." Li Shaoqiu shook his clothes and sure enough, his sleeves swayed with the soft breeze.
"You can still place a bet now?" Ling Chuxi asked in surprise. No wonder this fellow had just arrived - he had gone to the gambling den again.
"You can place a bet as long as it is before the final competition, but the betting odds have dropped a lot," Li Shaoqiu said gloomily. If he had known earlier, he would have put in the money he used for last night's dinner as well.
