"You should all leave."
Zhang Fang and Yu Tong each bowed their heads. After a long silence, it was Zhang Fang who sighed and rose.
He looked up at Elder Du's wife:
"Before coming here, the Alliance Hierarch gave an instruction.
"If the young lady truly does not wish to return, we cannot force her.
"However... there is one matter that still requires the young lady's cooperation.
"Years ago, when the young lady and Elder Du departed, they took something from the alliance.
"Now, I ask the young lady to return this item."
Upon hearing this, Elder Du's wife laughed again:
"At the end of the day, this is your true motive, isn't it?"
Zhang Fang was momentarily at a loss for words.
But Elder Du's wife continued:
"If I were to give you this item, would you truly leave?"
Zhang Fang was about to nod when Yu Tong spoke in a deep voice:
"No."
"Yu Tong!"
Zhang Fang suddenly looked at Yu Tong and shouted sternly.
