[TBD] In my youth, I acquired the Ten-Sage Azure Eyes, mistakenly believing this to be the start of academic and political success, a stepping stone to greatness. Upon joining the Inkbound Order and meeting its talents, I realized I was but a drop in the ocean.
Over twenty years, mentored by my master and accompanied by close friends, I studied extensively in the Order, gleaning wisdom from past sages. However, framed by scoundrels, the righteous withered. My master and friends perished outside Baima Station, and my broken body lingered on the Qinchuan path.
Now, my end draws near. I hid Ten Sages' Collection deep in the woods. To those who come after: the path ahead is filled with fog; you must find your own way. My journey ends here.
Looking back on my life, can I be considered a gentleman? Did I uphold the Order's integrity? If my master knows in the underworld, would he be proud of me?
