The next evening, Shopkeeper Wang came with the purple jade dagger.
Before handing it over, he asked repeatedly, "If I give it to you, can you guarantee to protect my life?"
"Yes, I always keep my promises."
"What if you go back on your word?"
"I can make an oath."
With Gu Sheng’s reassurance, Shopkeeper Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing Gu Sheng make the oath, he handed over the dagger.
Seeing the dagger, Gu Sheng raised his hand to touch it.
There’s no denying that this dagger is indeed a treasure, exquisitely crafted and exceptionally powerful. Although it’s missing a few gemstones from being perfect, it’s still a rare treasure.
Wielding it a few times in hand, Gu Sheng truly felt its power.
"Do the gemstones on this dagger contain nature’s spiritual energy?"
Seeing his knowledge, Shopkeeper Wang’s eyes lit up.
"That’s right! Each gemstone on this dagger was carefully selected by me. They are extremely beneficial to you Jianghu people. Like this blue gemstone, it not only enhances strength in battle but also brings great advantages to the wielder. If you get injured, it becomes effective..."
Listening to Shopkeeper Wang’s enthusiastic explanation, Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
"So Luo Qin underestimated this treasure. How can it compare to just a few gemstones in his eyes?"
After saying this, Shopkeeper Wang excitedly slapped his thigh.
"Exactly! The gemstones he wanted were just ordinary ones. Mine are rare treasures, adding a few more is just for aesthetics and doesn’t impact the dagger much. Yet he insisted on this matter, even threatening my life. You tell me, how can I not be angry? Luckily, I met someone as discerning as you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get over it! Now that the dagger is in your hands, my wish is fulfilled."
Gu Sheng didn’t expect him to feel this way, so he turned to Bai Yu and said, "Take him away. Make sure he can live a new life with a new identity."
Understanding his intention, Bai Yu nodded.
Hong Mei helped him change his appearance, and Shopkeeper Wang was quite pleased with his new look. After repeatedly thanking Gu Sheng, he left with all his belongings.
Gu Sheng and his group waited from night to daybreak for Bai Yu and Shi Lou to return.
