Chapter 49: Xia Yuran Cries Out of Anger:
"Yuran! Don't be impulsive!" Fu Buxing quickly grabbed her arm.
Xia Yuran was clearly too angry to think straight.
She pointed at two sword furnaces on the spot and raised the bid to 100,000 each.
That's 200,000 in total!
Did she even have that much money?
What if Ling Kong didn't raise the bid? Wouldn't she waste that 200,000?
"Senior Brother Fu! Lend me 200,000. I'll pay you back later!" Xia Yuran said sternly.
She refused to believe the two furnaces she pointed to would also contain swords.
If Ling Kong didn't raise the bid, she would spend that 200,000 anyway. It didn't matter if it was wasted; she just wanted to win.
But it was clear Ling Kong was going to continue. "I've also got my eye on those two. I'll bid 110,000 each!"
Sure enough, Ling Kong smiled faintly and raised the bid without hesitation.
"Fine! They're yours!" Xia Yuran said, her face expressionless. If these also contained swords, she would eat the furnaces!
Ling Kong raised his hand to transfer 210,000 spirit stones to Qian Piaopiao, but she coughed lightly, "Ahem... I see you two are having a fight here. How about... you stop? Go home!"
To be honest, she was starting to question her life. The two furnaces Xia Yuran pointed to weren't empty either! This was ridiculous! Maybe the first one was lucky, but two in a row, right next to each other?
What kind of luck did Xia Yuran have?
Xia Yuran said coldly, "Fight? We're not having a fight! Since someone has already made their bid, then pay up and open them!"
"She's right. Since we've made the bids, we must open them!" Ling Kong smiled.
"This..." Qian Piaopiao took a deep breath and nodded reluctantly.
Alright, let's open them.
Since they chose, she couldn't refuse the business even if the furnaces weren't empty.
She took Ling Kong's 220,000 spirit stones and began the process.
Two sword qi seals were lifted simultaneously. Both furnaces opened at the same time.
Xia Yuran held her breath, more anxious than anyone else. If they were empty, she would feel satisfied. If not, she wouldn't understand at all.
As everyone watched, the two furnaces opened bit by bit.
Then, two blasts of sword qi filled the hall, leaving everyone in shock.
One sword had a lightning attribute, the other a wind attribute.
The wind and thunder sword qi erupted in the hall, making the entire world seem to fall silent.
All eyes were wide with shock, staring at the two furnaces. No one could believe it.
The two furnaces weren't empty either! They each contained a famous sword!
"Ah!!!" Xia Yuran screamed in frustration, her voice echoing in the hall.
How could this be?
Both contained swords?
She turned and ran out of the hall, crying.
She had never experienced something so maddening in her life.
It was too much!
She randomly pointed at two, and they weren't empty! This was absurd!
Why did Ling Kong always get the swords when he competed with her?
Five furnaces in total, and all weren't empty!
How could this be so infuriating?
Xia Yuran swore she would never come to this place again. Never!
"Yuran..." Fu Buxing snapped out of his daze and hurried after her.
Who would have expected this?
Xia Yuran picked five furnaces, three at random, and none were empty?
She intended to trick Ling Kong but ended up making him profit every time. And Ling Kong was unexpectedly rich, casually spending over 50,000 spirit stones. What kind of wealthy family did he come from?
After Xia Yuran and Fu Buxing left, the disciples gradually regained their senses. "Incredible! This is unbelievable!"
"I couldn't even bear to spend 10,000 spirit stones after careful selection. She pointed randomly and spent tens of thousands, hitting every time?"
"Is this what they call... the power of money? Should we try it?"
"Are you crazy? No one's competing with you. Are you going to bid against yourself?"
"This is incomprehensible! Five in a row, all hits?"
"The odds of hitting five in a row are one in ten thousand!"
"This low probability event actually happened?"
"He's definitely cheating! Ling Kong must have some special technique!"
"I'm going to visit him with a heavy gift and ask to be his apprentice!"
Shocked voices filled the hall.
If it was luck before, the final time confirmed it. Ling Kong definitely had a trick up his sleeve. This was not normal!
