Chapter 158: Storytelling
Gu Fei lowered her eyes and shook her head, "I don't know how the gold was purified. The gold, the telescope, and the blood drop were all left to me by my master before he died."
Xiao Yu frowned, "Your master died?" This is troublesome.
Gu Fei nodded, trying to look sad, "Master passed away last year. He was a weirdo, but also a master."
She showed a look of reminiscence on her face, "It seems that there is nothing in the world that he can't do. He obviously has gold, but he doesn't use it. He wears tattered clothes and begs on the street every day."
"I felt sorry for him and gave him alms several times. He taught me some boxing and kung fu so that I can protect myself."
"In fact, strictly speaking, I am not his disciple, because I didn't learn anything except some boxing and kung fu."
Xiao Yu frowned more and more. In this way, this girl doesn't have the skills of her master at all.
"Master gave me the Blood Dropper when he was dying, and told me that it was very dangerous and could easily hurt me. I should not use it unless I was in a life-or-death situation."
Xiao Yu leaned forward, "Where is the blueprint of the Blood Dropper?"
"There is no blueprint." Gu Fei shook his head, his expression very sincere, "Master said that he spent his whole life and countless rare materials to make a Blood Dropper. He lost everything for this thing, and his wife left him because of it. He was furious and burned the blueprint."
"He originally wanted to bury this thing with him, but he couldn't bear that his life's hard work would not see the light of day, so he gave it to me." Gu Fei took a breath after saying this. It was really tiring to make up a story.
Xiao Yu was silent for a while, and his fingers gently looked at the table, "In other words, since there is no blueprint for this thing, there is only one in the world?"
Gu Fei nodded.
"What a pity." Xiao Yu looked at Gu Fei, "Name a price for this Blood Dropper, I want it."
As long as he got the thing, he believed that he could always find someone to copy it.
Gu Fei's face changed, "Sir, I'm so sorry, I can't give you this thing."
"Master forced me to swear a poisonous oath when he was dying, that the blood-dropping gun must not be given to others, otherwise I would die of a broken stomach."
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Fei, "One hundred taels."
Gu Fei shook his head.
Xiao Yu slowly said, "I'm talking about gold."
Gu Fei continued to shake his head.
"Two hundred taels--"
Shaking her head frantically.
"Five hundred taels--"
Gu Fei almost couldn't hold it back. Five hundred taels of gold was equivalent to five thousand taels of silver. It would be a lie to say that she was not tempted. However, she knew very well that the pistol must not be circulated.
If it was circulated, there would be more trouble.
She gritted her teeth, "Sir, don't add more. No matter how much money you offer, I will not sell it."
"I must do what I promised Master. Sorry, sir, although I said that I would repay you when I have the chance, this is really not possible."
Gu Fei stood up and made a gesture to leave.
Xiao Yu glanced at her, "Did I let you go?"
Gu Fei's mouth twitched, and she had to sit down again.
Xiao Yu knocked on the table with one hand and said nonchalantly, "What if I said that I must have this thing no matter what?"
Gu Fei looked at him pitifully, "Sir, please don't force me."
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, "Does this count as forcing me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? If I kill you, the thing will naturally be mine."
