Isn't This Bullying Honest People?

"A gift?" Hearing this, Gu Shaotang's heart sank, having a bad premonition. No one gives without expecting something in return! She and the so-called young master Ding Xiu mentioned had absolutely no acquaintance or interaction. Why would he give her a gift?

"What? The esteemed leader of a faction dares not even accept a gift?" Seeing Gu Shaotang hesitating, Ding Xiu's expression became even more playful as he shook the brocade box in his hand.

"Fine." Gu Shaotang remained composed, walking up to Ding Xiu and taking the brocade box. She carefully shook it, feeling the movement and weight inside, judging the contents cautiously.

This touch didn't seem like a mechanism or hidden weapon... Gu Shaotang, being a bandit by origin, had encountered numerous intrigues and schemes. Her first reaction to the gift was poison or a concealed weapon. However, judging by Ding Xiu's demeanor and his extremely arrogant and playful attitude, he didn't seem like someone with ill intentions.
