I couldn’t help but widen my eyes, nervously looking at him: “You’re not going to go back on your word now, are you?”
“I’m not going back on my word!” He answered expressionlessly, then immediately pulled out the jade pendant I had found in the bamboo garden and handed it to me: “This is more useful than any written agreement!”
I blinked in disbelief, looking at him uncertainly: “You’re giving this to me?”
