Elder Chuan Jian pulled Chu Liang aside and whispered to him, "What are you talking about? All of the sect's budget combined, even if the Dan Tai Peak Master and I broke our back, we could only gather seven thousand Azure Dragon Coins! How are you going to make up the remaining thousand?!"
"Indeed." Chu Liang looked at him strangely.
Since I have already made a bid, of course, it's me who has to make up the deficit. Even if I asked Junior Brother Wen to pay, it would be on my account.
"You..." Elder Chuan Jian was about to say something, but suddenly faltered, "What did you say?"
"I said I would cover it."
"With what?" Elder Chuan Jian asked. "The Sword Coins of Shu Mountain are all minted by me..."
His implications were clear: he mints all of the Shu Mountain's Sword Coins and knows the exact amount Chu Liang possesses.
Where would you get a hundred thousand Sword Coins from?
