In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar!

It was already 3 p.m. when we got back to the Menaka shop.

Seeing that Wang Yan returned so late, Khalid didn't say anything, since Wang Yan's job didn't specify working hours or location.

Once the translation order is completed, Wang Yan can do whatever he wants with it.

However, after Wang Yan entered, Khalid still spoke up, "Mr. Kavi came by earlier, saying he needed to talk to you, but since you weren't here, he left."

Kavi is looking for himself?

Wang Yan nodded: "Did he say why he wanted to see me?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't ask." Khalid said apologetically.

In reality, Kavi didn't say it, but Khalid, being a businessman, naturally spoke more tactfully.

"...I understand. I'll go find him after get off work." Wang Yan said as he walked to his seat.

He also poured himself a cup of tea.

I was thirsty after walking all the way back.

Seeing this, Khalid didn't say anything more and started busying himself with his own things.

His job wasn't just introducing jobs to Wang Yan; jewelry sales and antique appraisal were Khalid's main businesses.

The afternoon was spent with Khalid busy and Wang Yan reading.

After finishing work, Wang Yan said goodbye to Khalid and left the Menakali shop, heading to the accommodation area, not to go home, but to find Kavi at Elhesen's house.

For some reason, even though Kavi had money, he didn't move out of Elhesen's house.

When they arrived at Elhesen's house, before Wang Yan could even knock, he heard them arguing inside.

It appears that Kavi and Elhesen have disagreed on some issues again.

Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door: "Gentlemen, may I come in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the arguing inside stopped. A few breaths later, the door opened, revealing Kavi, whose face was still contorted with anger.

Wang Yan looked at him and said helplessly, "What's wrong with you two again? You're arguing so loudly."

"That guy, Elheisen, has absolutely no sense of aesthetics whatsoever!" Kavi exclaimed angrily.

"Everyone has different tastes. What you like doesn't mean I like it," Elhesen retorted as he appeared behind Kavi, then looked at Wang Yan and said, "Come in and talk, so we don't have to make things complicated."

Wang Yan nodded and went into the room, while Kavi closed the door.

A quick glance revealed a pile of mechanical ornaments on the living room table.

"This is an ancient machine that I finally managed to acquire. That guy, Elhesen, actually called it trash. It makes me so angry!" Kavi said indignantly again when he saw Wang Yan's gaze fall on the mechanical ornament.

Al-Hysen said calmly, "It's severely rusted, the patterns on it are broken, and these mechanical parts don't even come from the same machine... Only you would pay more than three times the premium to buy something so dilapidated and fragmented."

"That's not a premium, it's a service fee. They went through all that trouble to find the items for me in the ruins, so what's wrong with me paying a little more!" Kavi retorted angrily.

He just couldn't stand Al-Hysen's cold and aloof demeanor, which showed him to be completely devoid of human warmth.

Compared to Kavi's anger, Elhesen remained calm: "Then just say it's a fee for your hard work, don't portray this money as an investment in mechanical aesthetics."

Kavi was speechless.

The fact that you're given a service fee means that these things are indeed worth more than that price.

If these items are worth three times the premium, it means he didn't pay him any compensation for his hard work.

It's like having a screw stuck at both ends.

Seeing this, Wang Yan quickly interrupted their conversation: "Ahem, gentlemen, let's talk about my matter first. Kavi, did you call me here because of a problem?"

With his attention diverted, Kavi's expression softened, and he said, "I saw Senior Falushan when I went to the Palace of Wisdom today. I remembered to remind you during lunch, but you weren't there."

"Huh?" Wang Yan was taken aback, then overjoyed. "Senior Farusan is back! That's wonderful!"

With the exam date fast approaching, if Falushan doesn't return soon, Wang Yan will have to register himself.

"Do you know where Senior Farusan lives?" Kavi, understanding Wang Yan's joy, asked again.

Wang Yan nodded: "I've already asked around."

For the past two weeks, Wang Yan couldn't have done nothing; he had already inquired about everything concerning Farusan.

This includes things like where the other person lives and what projects they have.

As a venerable elder of the Church, Falushan was specially supported by the Church, but she did not live in the Church's dormitory; her family owned a house in Sumeru City.

Although there was a gap of over a hundred years, once Farusan returned and her identity was confirmed, her family's assets were returned in full by the Order of the Church.

Of course, as an academic family, they don't actually have many assets, and their patents have long expired. Their biggest asset is their house.

"Then I won't go with you." Kavi nodded, then looked at Elheisen again. "I need to have a serious talk with him!"

Elhesen glanced at him but ignored him, and said to Wang Yan, "Senior Farusan is a very practical person. In her eyes, Kavi is just a little too romantic and artistic. So, when talking to Senior Farusan, try not to be too unrealistic and be more practical."

Wang Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Kavi then flew into a rage: "What do you mean I have an excess of romantic ideas and artistic talent!"

The conflict has begun again.

Wang Yan didn't interfere. He said goodbye to the two of them and left the arguing behind.

After leaving Elhesen's house, Wang Yan did not go straight to Farusan's house. Of course, it was not to prepare a gift for their meeting, but because the letter from Tinari was not on his person.

I hurried back to my rented room.

After finding the letter of introduction given by Tina, Wang Yan went out again and, following the address he had inquired about beforehand, walked through the layers of stairs and corridors of Sumeru City toward Farusan's residence.

Farusian's house is located in a secluded area on the upper level of the Sacred Tree. It is not as noisy as the Commercial Street, nor as solemn as the Church of Christ area, but has a quiet and elegant feel.

The streets are lined with many ornamental plants unique to Sumeru, their emerald green leaves swaying gently in the evening breeze.

It was already evening, and the sky was gradually darkening. As Wang Yan walked up the steps, he stopped in front of a building with a distinct classical Sumerian style.

The house isn't particularly large, but it's ingeniously designed. The exterior walls are mainly made of light yellow stone, paired with dark brown wooden doors and windows. Several wind chimes hang under the eaves, making a crisp tinkling sound in the wind.

The most eye-catching thing is a stone tablet standing next to the gate, which is inscribed with some ancient characters. Wang Yan recognized at a glance that it was a variant of the script from the time of the Red King. The content was roughly "The abode of wisdom, where diligent scholars may enter".

It is clear that while Farusian is skilled in mechanical devices, she is also quite adept at writing.

"This is it." Wang Yan took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and stepped forward to knock on the door knocker.
