"You're saying you think you've figured out how to make [Hundred-Flower Honeydew]?"
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow at Simon.
"I think so. When you asked Professor Dai Le to study how to make Honeydew, I looked through the book now and then too.

She committed every word Fang said to memory.
Yu Yuan picked up the secret information Fang had compiled over the
