      by Potato As Doubao’s doubtful voice echoed beside him, Gu Ning’an chuckled and said, “Then I guess that next, the black-clad swordsman will once again give Innkeeper Hua the chance to spin the roulette.” “And when Innkeeper Hua spins again, the result will undoubtedly be the same.” Hearing this, Doubao curiously asked, “Sir, is their luck really that bad?” Doubao believed the first part of Gu Ning’an’s prediction—after all, that black-clad swordsman clearly had the look of a hopeless…
