"So, you mean to tell me that after all the trouble I went to in obtaining this information and paying the price to have Shen Nanqi bring you along, so you could participate in the action with Ye Qingyu, you didn't exchange a single word with her from start to finish?"
Fang Zehou leaned back in his chair, expressionless.
Fang Helling stood erect, "Ye Qingyu is of noble birth and shows contempt for everyone else, keeping herself aloof from beginning to end. Your son thought it better to keep silent than to deliberately annoy her with his presence. Although this might not leave an impression on her, at least the camaraderie forged through fighting side by side is preserved."
"Do you realize that with just one word from Ye Qingyu, our business in Yun Country could expand a hundredfold?" Fang Zehou asked.
"So, with just one word, she could also cut off the trade routes you had worked so hard to establish in Yun Country."
