Chapter 147 - 118 What is the Pinnacle of Sword Dao
"I’ll give you the scabbard to study for now; I’m going to see how the others are doing."
Gu Wen casually tossed the scabbard to Chi Yu Zi, who obviously hesitated and said, "You’re giving me this even before I’ve taught you the Golden Core Skill? Aren’t you afraid I might steal it while you’re not watching?"
And so casually too. Chi Yu Zi had seen people borrowing relics of the Sword Control Sect’s ancestors, and the elders inside the sect would never leave those items unattended.
It was the first time someone had directly given something to him and then left like Gu Wen did.
Gu Wen smiled and said, "Gentlemen use courtesy to treat people, villains use punishment."

Even Jun Yan from the Demon Sect was known for not liking to kill. The truth of that was unknown, but being able to proclaim it indicated some consideration in his actions.
Chi Yu Zi, belonging to the more sentimental, had repeatedly reminded himself not to get involved in conflicts. If they could treat someone they barely knew as a drinking buddy with decency, it was only natural for Gu Wen to try and foster good relationships.
