Maybe it was because of the indirect influence Branch Chief Zou Wen had, or maybe it was because of what the Wan family currently had at stake, with their patriarch's impending breakthrough to the domain realm, but Yang Qing's and Elder Wan Li's trip was steeped in prolonged silence, with minimal engagement between them.
Outside of finding out what they knew about Bai Chen and his disappearance, along with that of his disciple and the others who had been in the ferry with him, Yang Qing didn't engage much with Wan Li. And when it came to the minimal interaction they did have, the elder didn't reveal anything he didn't already know.
The story remained the same: the Wan clan didn't know anything about the disappearance, or what had happened to Bai Chen, his disciple, or the ferry.
Their account matched that of what was given to him by the remaining two escort supervisors of the Bluefin Escort Agency.
