Thinking of this, he continued to ask, "And what next, what else did it say?"
Kong Shangzhao felt a bit embarrassed, "Time is too tight, it might take ten days or more to fully decipher it."
"No problem."
Li Yan said gravely with a fist salute, "Please, sir, assist in completing this matter. This time the reward will be fully returned, consider it as your remuneration."
"Also, remember to keep this matter confidential!"
"Ah?"
Kong Shangzhao was visibly shocked, his face turning crimson, "This... this is too much."
His father had emptied most of his savings to hire the Twelve Primordial Spirits.
He hadn't expected that the messy notes he took could be worth thirty thousand taels.
"Not too much, it's very worthwhile for us!"
After some comforting words from Li Yan, Kong Shangzhao relaxed and quickly nodded in agreement.
The young scholar returned to his room and soon lit a candle.
The candlelight flickered as he sat at the table translating through the night.
