Chen Tong's face changed several times, then he suddenly stood up and pointed at Zhang Yan, angrily saying, "Are you making fun of me?"
Zhang Yan remained seated, a slight smile on his face, and said, "Of course not. What Brother Chen seeks is nothing more than to decipher this Chi Long True Scroll. Although I am not an expert in Erosion Text, I know a little. If Brother Chen is willing to step back, I am willing to assist you. This way, each of us can get what we need; wouldn't that be delightful for all?"
"You? Deciphering this Treasure Scroll for me?" Upon hearing this, Chen Tong was initially stunned, then looked at Zhang Yan with some disbelief. His lips moved, but he said nothing, slowly sitting down. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, if you can indeed do it, what harm is there in giving up this opportunity to you? But..."
He stared at Zhang Yan and said in a deep voice, "What if you cannot do it?"
