I need someone who has some skill in medicine making. I need a medicine I brought with me replicated.

I will compensate you for your time.

It is not urgent.

[It is a little bit urgent? Not right now but soon...but is he going to say that? Of course not.]

What name? Do you mean the username?

[ Maybe someone's used Mo-zongshi? Maybe? Except no, that's impossible, and Mo Ran wouldn't call himself that, so the username has to be it.

He has to live up to it. He can be an upstanding pillar of heaven. ]

I will do my best.

[ And now he has to make sure that username is never explained to him, ever. ]

[wooden_one]

Who's going to stop me?

[He just doesn't like owing people.]

What else would I mean?

[Clearly that's the only name here that could apply to. And, not suspecting anything at all, he only has one thing to say to Mo Ran's words.]

Good.

Shizun, this disciple couldn't accept money for helping you.

[ Mo Ran will stop him. ]

Live up to the name. Okay. Thank you for your guidance, Shizun.

[wooden_one]

If not money then something else.

[Your time is worth something and he doesn't like getting charity.]

I was the one to have guided you.

[As in, he's not...your Chu Wanning, the one who was with you for five years. Why does that matter? Because for him, it hasn't happened and so any praise felt...unearned.]
