「素裳：
得書之喜，曠若復面。我二人安好如常，勿念可也。
關於來信所述平日之近況，我二人已瞭然，深感欣慰。另又新添些許囑咐，且以此手書為示，願自勉之。
其一，與朋友交，應明辨損益。素裳如今年至及笄，卻不知人心多叵測，世途有機阱之險，以至竟與邪徒惡黨同道，實令我二人深感憂憤。直者、信者、博聞者，此乃君子，應廣結交之；便辟者、善柔者、便佞者，此乃小人，應自當遠離。
其二，不可好大喜功。我二人深知素裳向來急公好義，然信中陳述虛實參半，數處似有誇大之嫌。仙舟古語有雲：『名不可簡成，譽不可巧立』，出力而自矜功伐，雖多勞苦，終不可取。謹記：我仙舟民壽限無窮，幾多功名終須歸過眼雲煙。是故為人應先固本，足履實地，如臨薄冰。一時急功，扼腕歧路，令墮魔陰，貽害終生！
另：平日砥礪劍技，更莫忘復誦『劍心決』，凝練心氣。心蘊乃武藝之本，待煉心氣於無形，方可知劍不過身外憑依之物。草、木、石、竹皆可為劍，順心順力，逍遙自在，馴馭『軒轅』則計日可待矣。
又：錯別字好多啊素裳，執勤結束多讀些書吧。還有，是「獨當一面」，不是「獨霸」。

Sushang:
Reading your letter is almost as good as seeing you again in person. The two of us are safe and sound, so don't worry about us.
As for your recent situation you described in your letter, we understand and are deeply gratified. In addition, we've added some new instructions here and hope you're able to make an effort with these.
Firstly, when making friends, you should consider if they're good or bad. Sushang, you're now old enough for courtship, but you still don't understand how unpredictable and dangerous the world can be. Your collusion with hoodlums has worried and aggrieved us. Straight-forward, trustworthy, and knowledgeable people are good and should make good friends. But expedient, soft, and flattering people are no good, and should be avoided.
Secondly, don't strive to achieve grandiose things. We know you've always been anxious about justice, but your letter seems to have fact mixed in with fiction, or at the very least be greatly exaggerated. An old saying in Xianzhou goes, "As reputation is never easily gained, so glory cannot be coincidence." It's not good to make achievements and then boast about them. Keep in mind: We Xianzhou people live forever, so fleeting fame and fortune pass through our fingers into the sands of time. It's why you need to build up a strong foundation and focus on the practical, being meticulous and careful as if skating on thin ice. One slip and you'll get into trouble, fall into the grasps of mara, and bear the consequences for life!
PS: Keep your sword sharp every day, and don't forget to recite your Blade Swara to focus your spirit. The mind is the basis of martial arts, and when your mind gets refined into the formless, you can know that the sword is nothing but another crutch to rely on. Grass, wood, stone, bamboo and the alike can all make swords. Follow your heart and energies freely. It will take many a day yet for you to eventually tame your Xuanyuan sword.
PPS: You made a lot of writing errors, Sushang. Please read more books while you're off duty. And it's "look after myself," not "looking after myself."
