“March 28th…”
“Lao Liu was not careful with his actions, the news leaked, and he was hunted by the Taoist Court Officials…”
“Because of one person, we can’t implicate so many brothers…”
“Lao Liu is dead…”
“I killed him, and my heart aches.”
“But I believe Lao Liu died without regrets…”
“He knows my good intentions, he won’t blame me…”
…
“April 1st…”
“Shi’er suspects me…”
…
“April 10th…”
“Shi’er found out I embezzled Spirit Stones.”
“He wanted to split them equally with me.”
“We were brothers, but his greed disappointed me.”
“Killed him with tears in my eyes…”
“But thinking of our past, I gave his mistress and illegitimate child some condolence Spirit Stones, other brothers were very grateful, praising me for being compassionate and righteous…”
“They understand me, and I am consoled…”
…
“May 4th…”
“Two brothers died, recruited three more…”
“These three seemed quite clever, not sure how long they can be brothers.”
…
“July 12th…”
“Four died, heartbroken…”
…
“Sigh, it’s difficult to build something in these times, can’t keep brothers around…”
“Business setbacks, people’s hearts scattered…”
“Brothers don’t work hard, can’t catch hostages, don’t earn Spirit Stones, a Golden Core is far out of reach, my heart is anxious.”

In some places later on, the writing was smeared, the text fragmented; Mo Hua could only skim through:
“Market isn’t good…”
“Taoist Court Officials are too oppressive, a bunch of lapdogs!”
“That damn Gu Changhuai! Death to him!”
“If one day I attain a Golden Core, I’ll sacrifice Gu Changhuai’s blood to my Sever Gold Sword…”
…
“Today I killed another expert, how satisfying…”
“The Sever Gold Sword Controlling Technique is indeed the Sever Gold Sect’s Ultimate Skill; so far, no one has survived under this sword…”
“No wonder back then, the Sever Gold Sect treated this Sword Technique as a treasure and refused to teach me…”
“Sever Gold Sword Qi never fails; Golden Sword Claiming Life…”
“Once this sword is drawn, a flood of Golden Light, I wonder who can survive under the sword…”
