Damn it, it was clearly a windfall from the heavens, yet there was no way to cash in! The bystanders were filled with frustration.
“Brother Jin Wu, if it weren't for you being unable to make the decision, we could have pooled the money together,” hurriedly chimed in Wu Xiushen from the Wu Family.
“Exactly! We three can pitch in!” Li Mingyue from the Li Family raised his fist, saying, “We absolutely cannot be looked down upon, especially by a nouveau riche!”
“Hmph.” Jin Shengxin's face darkened as he angrily replied, “No need, no need! I appreciate everyone’s righteousness, but I can handle him on my own! I don’t want to put everyone at risk… How dare he look down on me? That’s simply courting death! This young master will ensure he loses everything in gambling this time, or else he won't be able to mix in this Purple Twilight City anymore!”
Saying this, he appeared to angrily flick his sleeves and left.
The remaining two simultaneously spat in disdain.
What a showoff!
You want to hog all the profit, huh? Yet you have to put on such a righteous act, worrying that we’d take the risk...
Do you really have such a good heart?
Who doesn’t know who? You think we actually want to help you? We just want a share of the pie…
Any sane person knows this time is a surefire win.
How could Jin Shengxin agree to let others pitch in?
“It seems Brother Jin Wu must have gone home to get the money himself… What should we do?” With thirty Purple Twilight Coins almost within reach slipping away, Li Mingyue was clearly very reluctant.
That amount is really not small. It's more than my allowance for three years…
“There’s nothing we can do…” Wu Xiushen sighed and said, “The only hope is… that Jin Shengxin loses, then we two can step in. If he wins in one go… then even if we can bet with him, we might as well just win a small amount…”
“Are you still hoping that beast can win? How is that possible!”
“I know, but isn’t there always a slim chance…”
“Damn Jin Shengxin… a gluttonous person has no conscience!”
The two cursed angrily.
Seeing such a great money-making opportunity slipping away, the resentment in their bellies was about to explode.
…
On the way, Chu Yang felt that his previous string of bad luck seemed to have completely vanished. It was very likely that things were turning around for him, as he had just received Brother Tiger. Now, someone was rushing to give him money. Isn’t this a stroke of good fortune?!
Isn't this the heavens aligning with his wishes?
“Brother Tiger, you are my good fortune! May I ask… where exactly did you come from? Why are you lingering here?” Chu Yang asked.
“Well, actually, more than twenty days ago, I accidentally sensed a special aura here that felt very familiar, so I traveled a total of 203,000 miles. In the end, I wandered here and spent a whole day on the road, only to unexpectedly meet you,” Brother Tiger casually said. However, there was a hint of melancholy in his voice.
Chu Yang was taken aback.
203,000 miles? A whole day?
Brother Tiger?
Even in the Nine Heavens Continent, with Chu Yang's current cultivation level, it would be impossible to cover even 10,000 miles in a day, let alone in this Nine Heavens Pavilion. How could Brother Tiger cover 203,000 miles in a day?!
And he even said he was just “wandering” over!
How many dimensional barriers did he cross? How many tectonic plates did he traverse? Given Brother Tiger's speed, it must have been a straight-line crossing... 203,000 miles! What an enormous number!
A whole day! Is that even possible?!
Chu Yang suddenly felt a bit dizzy.
“What, what exactly did you sense?” Chu Yang asked.
“It’s just the aura of your sword,” Brother Tiger said with a hint of regret, “At first, I thought it was…”
He stopped midway, his expression hesitating, letting out a long sigh.
“The aura of this sword?” Chu Yang was puzzled. “Is there some unique aura to this sword?”
The Nine Calamity Sword is indeed an extraordinary item. Chu Yang had known this for a long time but didn’t understand, or rather, didn’t grasp that this sword carried some sort of unique aura?!
