Sun Shou Wen: "Don't worry, I do have my principles."
Li Shi didn't reply again.
In his opinion, the fact that he could resist temptations up until now proved he indeed had principles, but he felt this guy's principles might become quite flexible down the line.
It was still their private matter, and Li Shi saying "Be careful" was already the limit; he wouldn't persuade him further.
Entering the study, he tidied up the desktop, took out the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, and while grinding ink, pondered over what content to write.
As a birthday gift, it was customary to write auspicious sayings, but he needed to think carefully about the specific content.
Additionally, he had a principle that whatever calligraphy piece he made, whether for rankings or as a gift, it must be of at least excellent grade.
For the current Li Shi, this was not difficult.
The empowerment of "Once Proved, Forever Valid" was too strong.
