Xu Fengnian had other arrangements.
These arrangements had already been set by Xu Fengnian a month in advance.
Given that these matters involved a Shuoyang Grandmaster, Xu Fengnian really couldn't stand Fang Mu up to accommodate the Shuoyang Grandmaster.
The Shuoyang Grandmaster was a bona fide Senior Creation Zenith Master.
The exchange with the Shuoyang Grandmaster had cost Xu Fengnian no small sum to secure.
Therefore, on this matter, Xu Fengnian did not join the conversation.
Fang Mu paused for nearly half a minute, a period Xu Fengnian knew was intended to provide him with an opportunity to take a stand.
Xu Fengnian indeed wanted to make connections with Fang Mu and Qixing, but pursuing a relationship with Fang Mu and Qixing wasn't limited to just this one opportunity.
In the future, when other opportunities arose, he could attempt to make connections then.
