The black iron hook on Taji Guli's left hand was designed for her after she arrived at the Hundred Birds Mountain and met Elder Tengyuan. Although Taji Guli felt a little awkward about having such a thing on her left hand, she found it preferable to having an amputated arm - especially after experiencing the power of the iron hook, which she became increasingly adept at using.
"If you truly want my gratitude, then help us. Whatever you want in return, we will give you!"
Seeing Taji Guli straightforwardly mentioning their agreement, Elder Tengyuan leaned back against his pillow, poking at the tobacco strands in his pipe.
"Enough! I know what you want! It's merely about refusing to rid the Gu poison, right? Rest assured, this matter lies with me. Even if Gu De is the clan chief, we elders also have the right to vote in the clan. Without my consent, this matter won't proceed! Not to mention the difficulty of crossing the three challenges! Even an expert might not return alive!"
