"Sure! No problem!"
The Clan Leader of the Zhuoma Clan was extremely generous, without any obstruction.
This was because these books were all in Western Region language, and those ancient books were written in ancient Western Region language. Even if Lin Yifan had a translation by his side, he wouldn't know the content written within.
Lin Yifan was a bit surprised. He thought the Clan Leader of the Zhuoma Clan would have some resistance or obstruction, but unexpectedly, he was so broad-minded, which was beyond his expectations.
However, he remained skeptical, not believing that the Clan Leader of the Zhuoma Clan had no books or information whatsoever about the Western Region Cultivation World, so he entered the study, picked up a book from the shelf, and started reading.
When he saw piles of dense, twisting words, he was completely defeated and quickly called for a herdsman to translate.
The herdsman picked up the book in his hand, glanced at it, and then began to translate intermittently.
Why was it intermittent? Because there were some unfamiliar words whose meanings he did not know, so he could only roughly translate some content.
Lin Yifan was a bit impatient and questioned, "Can you be a bit more fluent?"
"My lord, I can't help it! There are some words I haven't seen before, and I really don't know how to translate them."
The herdsman looked innocent and felt greatly aggrieved.
"Is it really so hard?" Lin Yifan questioned, not believing it.
"It's really difficult," the herdsman answered honestly.
"Alright, alright, quickly finish translating this book for me."
Lin Yifan didn't want to pursue too much, after all, he was an outsider and truly had no right to judge whether the herdsman was telling the truth.
The herdsman didn't dare to slack off, and diligently translated word by word for Lin Yifan.
Half an hour later, having finally finished translating the book, he thought he could rest, but Lin Yifan immediately pulled out another book, asking him to translate it.
The herdsman felt a bit distressed, wondering if Lin Yifan would make him translate all the books in the room.
"My lord, do you want every book translated?"
"Nonsense, otherwise what's your use?" Lin Yifan replied irritably.
"Alright! I'll do my best!"
The herdsman felt helpless because his life was now in Lin Yifan's hands, he really couldn't resist. Even the mighty Zhuoma Clan feared Lin Yifan, confronting Lin Yifan was just seeking death.
Thus, after half a day, he was really too hungry to bear it anymore, so he made a request: "My lord, I'm very hungry, may I go out to eat something before continuing to translate for you?"
"Go, go, bring another herdsman in here for me."
Lin Yifan allowed the herdsman to go out for a meal, after all, the other party was just a mortal, certainly couldn't like him who could go hungry for months without issues.
"Alright!"
The herdsman didn't delay, hastily dragging his weak and exhausted body out.
Upon exiting the cave, the sky was already dark, but there were still many people standing in front of the cave entrance, all of them from the Zhuoma Clan. They were very worried about their Clan Leader's safety, especially after such a long time, so they had been waiting here to prevent any accidents.
Seeing the herdsman who had gone in with Lin Yifan coming out, they stepped forward and inquired, "Dear friend, how is the situation inside?"
"Don't worry, the lord didn't do anything to your Clan Leader, just checking some information." The herdsman answered.
"Checking information? Why does he want to check information?"
The members of the Zhuoma Clan looked puzzled and very curious.
"I cannot disclose this."
This was the lord's secret, he absolutely could not leak it, otherwise, if the lord became angry, he couldn't bear the consequences.
The members of the Zhuoma Clan looked disappointed, they really wanted to know what Lin Yifan was plotting, but unfortunately gained nothing.
Looking around, not finding his brother, the herdsman curiously inquired, "Where's my brother?"
"We arranged for him to wait in the guest hall." Answered the members of the Zhuoma Clan.
"Take me to see him!"
The members of the Zhuoma Clan dared not delay and immediately sent someone to bring this herdsman to see his brother.
The strength of Lin Yifan was evident to them, and since even the Clan Leader didn't dare to make things difficult for him, they certainly had scruples, so why should they be ungrateful?
Arriving at the guest hall and seeing his brother, the herdsman's first question was whether his brother had eaten.
The brother truthfully answered that he had eaten.
At this point, the herdsman asked him to enter the cave and help the lord with translation.
Hearing that the lord specifically named him to go in for translation, the brother was very curious about what was happening inside, so he asked, "Hey, why does the lord want me to go in and translate?"
"I'm hungry and can't hold on anymore, so I asked you to go in." The herdsman answered plainly.
"No way, did they talk for that long?"
This herdsman brother looked surprised because he had been waiting since morning until it turned dark, even if inside the cave the two were chatterboxes, it shouldn't take this long.
"Not a conversation, but translating all the content written in the books."
"What? Are there many books inside?"
"I've translated less than a tenth, what do you think?"
"No way, why does the lord want us to translate so many books?"
"What else could it be for, just finding those two places."
"Twin Peaks, Blue Moon Valley?"
"Hush! Keep it down, be careful, walls have ears." The herdsman reminded.
His brother suddenly realized his mistake, quickly covered his mouth, and then looked around. After confirming no one was around, he let out a sigh of relief.
If Lin Yifan found out he had proactively leaked the information, he'd certainly get a beating.
However, what has been said, like water spilled, cannot be taken back.
Hiding outside the guest hall, a servant of the Zhuoma Clan quickly revealed this news to the clan elders.
Upon learning that Lin Yifan, this Cultivator from the Central Plains, was here to find Twin Peaks and Blue Moon Valley, the elders of the Zhuoma Clan were shocked because these were the sanctuaries of the Western Plateau. What did Lin Yifan intend to do?
"Knew he wasn't harboring good intentions, but didn't expect it to be so."
"What now?"
"Everything will follow the Clan Leader's orders, if the Clan Leader counterattacks, we will counterattack."
"Alright!"
The people of the Zhuoma Clan stood ready, to prevent any issues.
After the other herdsman went in, the herdsman who came out just ate, drank, and rested with the Zhuoma Clan.
He knew that what lay ahead would be a "tough battle", so he needed to conserve his strength and rest well.
Stepping into the cave, the other herdsman, like the previous one, felt the temperature inside the cave was particularly low, involuntarily shivering; and the deeper it went, the colder it became.
"Damn! When will it end?"
He felt a bit desperate, feeling he hadn't even gone in yet and would freeze to death first.
"What are you dawdling there for? Hurry up and get in here!"
"My lord!"
In his panic, hearing Lin Yifan's voice and seeing his silhouette, he was overjoyed. As long as Lin Yifan was present, he had no fears.
"My lord, it's so cold! How do you resist the chill?"
"Mana, are you stupid."
"Oh right!"
The herdsman almost forgot this point.
