Nan Xinyue’s lips twitched upon hearing that. ‘Shameless!’ “I don’t know you, so how could I miss you?”
“Haha.” Chen Li laughed at that and teased her again. “If you didn’t miss me, why are you hurrying so much to meet me?”
“Humph!” Nan Xinyue snorted and turned her head away.
The five men frowned, seeing the two of them like that, and they didn’t expect that Chen Li would dare to tease Nan Xinyue.
Even Long Tian didn’t dare to do so, especially when he was in the territory of the Nan Family, for the people of the family were very protective of Nan Xinyue.
However, they felt strange about their situation, especially since Nan Yi did nothing, making them wonder in their hearts. ‘Do they have a special relationship?’
On the other hand, Mayumi Keiko chuckled, seeing them like that. However, her eyes kept moving to observe Chen Li, and she noticed something unusual about him. ‘Oh? He’s a shapeshifter, huh?’
Since he was still using the Divine God Eyes, Chen Li could tell Mayumi Keiko’s thoughts, and he was startled that she could see through his disguise. ‘Tch, so she’s also a superpower possessor, huh? Scan her.’

Chen Li raised his eyebrows seeing her status. ‘I didn’t expect her to have such eyes; no wonder she can see through my disguise. Moreover, she also has profound veins, so she is truly suited to be a cultivator.’ “Why are you looking at me like that, Miss Keiko?”
“Oh?” Mayumi Keiko was surprised to hear that. “I didn’t expect you to recognize me, Uncle.”
Chen Li was stunned to hear that, but he remembered that he was in the form of an old man. “Hehe, of course, I must recognize your identity, for I am one of your fans.”
Hearing that, Akira frowned at Chen Li, but Mayumi Keiko immediately stopped her and she asked him. “Do you have time to talk to me later?”
“Well? I planned to talk to Miss Xinyue after this. Since you are her friend, you can join us later.” Chen Li then turned to Long Aotian and the others. “However, I must beat them first, so you two must wait a while for me.”
“No problem.” Mayumi Keiko answered with a nod, ordered Akira to take a chair, and immediately sat next to Chen Li. “Is it okay if I sit here, Uncle? I want to see you beat them in this game.”
Seeing them like that, the faces of the five men darkened, for they also recognized Mayumi Keiko’s identity and her interaction with Chen Li made them feel very jealous in their hearts.
‘Fuck! How can a woman as beautiful as her be attracted to an old man like him?’ Yang Chen cursed in his heart.
Shen Lu was also the same and inwardly muttered. ‘Tch! He’s such a bastard! Not only does he dare to tease Nan Xinyue, but Mayumi Keiko also seems interested in him.’
Yu Wen and Bei Qiang only shook their heads, even though they also felt jealous. Yet, they knew their abilities, and Mayumi Keiko was beyond their reach.
Although Long Aotian’s expression still looked calm, he also felt angry towards Chen Li, especially after seeing his close relationship with Nan Xinyue. ‘Who exactly is this old man? Why were the two women so close to him? I must investigate his identity later.’
“All right, you can see our game.” Chen Li then said to Long Aotian and the others. “Since these two ladies are waiting for me, I will bet all my chips for the game this time. Do you guys dare to bet it all?”
“Humph! I’m in!” Yang Chen directly ate Chen Li’s provocation, and Shen Lu agreed.
However, Bei Qiang and Yu Wen didn’t want to get involved in their game, especially since they had already suffered enough losses and didn’t want to lose anymore.
Long Aotian nodded to Chen Li. “All right then, win or lose, I will follow your game.”
“That’s good.” Chen Li nodded with satisfaction and said to the dealer. “Quickly hand out the cards; I don’t want to keep these two ladies waiting for too long.”
“Yes, Sir.” The dealer immediately followed Chen Li’s orders and dealt out the cards.
Nan Xinyue shook her head at them. ‘I’m not surprised these two idiots would fall for this old man’s provocation, but I didn’t expect that Long Aotian was as stupid as them.’
On the other hand, Mayumi Keiko was silent. Still, her eyes followed Chen Li’s movements, for she was curious how he could trick Long Aotian and the others.
However, since Mayumi Keiko was not a cultivator, she certainly couldn’t see Chen Li’s movements, especially since his speed was fast enough to swap the cards without anyone noticing it.
After some time, the result of their game was just as Nan Xinyue had expected.
Long Aotian, Yang Chen, and Shen Lu’s expressions became ugly, for they once again lost to Chen Li, and their loss this time was huge, especially since they put all their chips on the line.
Chen Li smiled in satisfaction, for he earned a lot of money from the five of them. Yet, he still regretted that Bei Qiang and Yu Wen didn’t join their last game, so he couldn’t drain their cash.
On the other hand, Mayumi Keiko was surprised by Chen Li. Even though she had been overseeing his movements, she still couldn’t see his trick. ‘No wonder Xinyue wants him to help her, and I’m sure he can help her make up for her losses later.’
“Since you guys don’t have chips anymore, let’s end our game, for they are waiting for me.” Chen Li said as he stood up and asked one of the Nan Casino employees to change all his chips to cash, and he turned to the two women. “So where are we going to talk? Are we going to talk in your office, Miss Xinyue?”
“No.” Nan Xinyue shook her head at him. “We should go to my cafe and talk more casually there.” .
“All right then.”
Afterward, Chen Li and the two women left Long Aotian and the others, and Nan Yi and Akira immediately followed them.
“Bastard!” Yang Chen cursed as he pounded on the table. “How dare he make fun of us!?”
“Have you seen that old man before, Aotian?” Shen Lu asked with a gloomy look.
Long Aotian shook his head. “I’ve never met that old man before, and I really don’t understand how he managed to get all the good cards every time we played.”
“Hey! Did you purposely help the old man to beat us?” Yang Chen asked the dealer angrily.
The dealer shook his head vigorously at him. “I… I don’t even know that old man, Young Master Yang. So… so how can I help him? Moreover, you all witnessed me shuffling the cards, so you should know I didn’t do anything.”
“You-”
“Enough!” Long Tian snapped at Yang Chen. “You don’t need to blame the dealer! Even though we lost quite a lot tonight, it doesn’t mean anything to us, and we still have a lot of money.”
“Tch.” Yang Chen gritted his teeth.
After that, the five men immediately left the Nan Casino, but Long Aotian directly contacted several people and asked them to check the CCTV in the Nan Casino. He also asked them to find Chen Li’s identity.
However, Long Aotian’s efforts were in vain, especially since the old man was only Chen Li’s disguise, so his people would never be able to discover his true identity.

Sometime later, Chen Li was sitting in front of Nan Xinyue and Mayumi Keiko, and they were enjoying the coffee in their cups.
Chen Li then asked. “Why are you looking for me, Miss Xinyue? Moreover, you already have my number; you should be able to contact me directly, right?”
Nan Xinyue sighed heavily and answered him, “For some reason, my old smartphone broke, and I can’t remember your phone number, so I can’t contact you. Anyway, Alan will come to my casino to gamble in two days, so I need you to help me beat him.”
“I see.” Chen Li nodded in understanding and said to her. “All right then, since I promised to help you before, I’ll come to the casino in two days. However, my pay isn’t cheap, remember?”
“You don’t need to think about that; I will pay you lavishly.” Nan Xinyue answered as she nodded.
Suddenly, Mayumi Keiko asked Chen Li. “Uncle, don’t you want to take off your disguise? You may be able to trick Xinyue and the others, but you can’t trick my eyes.”
Chen Li smiled wryly and glanced at Nan Xinyue briefly. “Why should I take off my disguise, Miss Keiko? Can’t we still talk like this?”
“Humph.” Mayumi snorted softly and propped her chin up with her hands. “You say you are my fan, but why don’t you want to show me your true figure?”
“Haha.” Chen Li laughed upon hearing that; he sighed softly and returned to his original form, shocking Nan Xinyue. “Are you satisfied to see my real figure now, Miss Keiko?”
*bam*
Nan Xinyue abruptly stood up, causing her chair to fall backward, and her eyes trembled as she stared at Chen Li’s face. “Mo Xie? Is it really you?”
