"Originally, there was no connection between us, but this time Master ordered me to go out and purchase some cultivation items for the Academy. According to the contract, we were supposed to cooperate with Nanyan Commerce," Ye Fengyun explained. "However, since Nanyan Commerce was newly established and I feared their limited capabilities might jeopardize the important matters of the Academy, I took the liberty of contacting a few other chambers of commerce as well, including the Yuan Family which has a deep-rooted business foundation."
Mu Hanyan felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She remembered that Wenren Qingqiu had said something different; according to their contract, they would only seek other chambers of commerce if Nanyan Commerce couldn't supply what Longyan Academy needed. But Ye Fengyun hadn't even asked before contacting other chambers of commerce, clearly using his authority to embarrass Nanyan Commerce intentionally.
