Chapter 47: How Can Ling Kong Have Such Good Luck?:
"If you've got the guts, keep raising the bid. If you do, I'll let you have it!" Xia Yuran glared at Ling Kong.
"110,000!" Ling Kong didn't hesitate.
"You..." Xia Yuran was stunned again.
He really raised the bid?
What was he after?
110,000!
If it turned out to be an empty sword furnace, even Fu Boxing couldn't afford such a loss.
Was Ling Kong that wealthy?
Calling out a bid of 110,000 just to compete with her?
"Fine! Fine! You're ruthless! I'll give you that!" Xia Yuran took a deep breath.
Alright, 110,000!
She would just consider it as raising the bid to deliberately mess with Ling Kong.
After all, she wasn't sure if there was a sword inside.
Since Ling Kong wanted to compete with her, let him have it!
Thinking this, she felt a bit better.
"Alright, Ling Kong! 110,000, that's what you said!" Qian Piaopiao's eyes sparkled.
Another profit!
Ling Kong didn't hesitate, handing over 110,000 spirit stones immediately. Qian Piaopiao accepted the money and opened the furnace.
Buzz!
The sword qi seal on the sword furnace slowly dissipated, and the furnace opened. Then, the sound of a sword echoed through the hall.
Buzz...
A faint green sword qi spread out, drawing everyone's eyes again.
"Wow! Someone else found a sword?"
"Who has such good luck?"
"Isn't it... Ling Kong again?"
"What the heck? Two in a row? Both hits?"
"What kind of luck is this?"
"Incredible! This might not just be luck; he must have some technique!"
"I plan to ask him to be my teacher!"
A roar of amazement and envy filled the hall.
Such a thing had never happened before in the Blind Sword Pavilion.
Two consecutive sword furnaces, both containing swords?
Ling Kong was truly impressive!
Seeing the faint green long sword inside the furnace, Ling Kong's lips curled into a smile. As expected, his luck prevailed again!
"This..." Xia Yuran was once again stunned.
How could this be?
There was actually a sword inside?
If so, Ling Kong's 110,000 spirit stones were well spent?
Damn it! Why was his luck so good?
No, this was her choice; she should have had the good luck!
But now it was Ling Kong's?
Her two chosen sword furnaces both contained swords! And both were taken by Ling Kong!
Two exquisite swords, just slipping away like that, ending up in Ling Kong's hands?
Xia Yuran was trembling with anger, looking like she wanted to tear Ling Kong apart. This was infuriating!
Fu Boxing was also stunned. He hadn't expected this sword furnace to contain a sword either.
If he'd known, he should have raised the bid a bit.
Maybe it would have been his! But he didn't dare at the time, and now he regretted it!
Jiang Ruoxi's beautiful face also showed a hint of surprise.
Another hit?
Was Ling Kong this lucky?
No, actually, it should be Xia Yuran's luck, but Ling Kong had stolen it from her!
Fortunately, Ling Kong's 110,000 spirit stones weren't wasted!
"Wow! Not bad, another hit! This sword is called Qingyou, another top-quality piece!" Qian Piaopiao's eyes were also on Ling Kong.
How did this kid do it?
Did he know there was a sword inside, or was it a guess?
He bid without hesitation.
Could he tell which furnaces were empty and which weren't?
Ling Kong smiled and took the sword. "Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
At this moment, Xia Yuran's fists were clenched, and cracking sounds could be heard.
She had come here today to gamble on finding a good sword, and the two she had chosen were both taken by Ling Kong.
Seeing him get two good swords made her both eager and furious!
She turned around abruptly, intending to choose again.
Fu Boxing quickly followed and whispered, "Yuran, Ling Kong is clearly trying to provoke you! Why don't we come back another day? Don't let him get to you today!"
"Why? He took from me twice; I must get even!" Xia Yuran said coldly. How could she swallow this anger?
Twice!
Two top-quality swords, taken right in front of her eyes by Ling Kong! And it was clearly intentional! How could she let him off?
"But... he does seem to have quite a bit of money," Fu Boxing whispered. "To be honest, we spent a lot of money buying those beast crystals in the Grand Valley. Now, I only have about 20,000 spirit stones left."
"Then lend them to me; I'll pay you back!" Xia Yuran snorted coldly. Suddenly, she had a bright idea for revenge.
"Ling Kong, you want to compete with me? Fine! I'll make sure you lose big!"
Thinking this to herself, she immediately raised her hand and pointed to a sword furnace. "Pavilion Master, open this one for me!"
