It had to be said, Gu Jue knew Sword Bu Gui very well.
That was why he wasn't fooled by Lu Sangjiu's claim that she had begged Sword Bu Gui to protect them. Instead, he immediately grasped the heart of the matter.
Of course, Lu Sangjiu couldn't tell him about the Fengming Sword Scabbard. With Gu Jue's personality, he would never sit idly by if he knew the truth, letting her take all the risks by herself.
So she just bluffed, "Sword Master Bu Gui appreciates my senior sister's strength and potential. He feels that making a small investment in her now is sure to pay off in the future."
"It's a good thing, too. Otherwise, with nothing to my name, I really wouldn't have had anything to offer to convince him."
Gu Jue had been skeptical, but Lu Sangjiu's explanation actually convinced him.
After all, he couldn't imagine what Lu Sangjiu could have possibly offered to get his master to agree.
