"Ares is that close with this Li Wen?"
"And Isabel…"
"Duh, didn't you hear? Saphis is only making trouble for Li Wen because of Isabel!"
"Tsk, tsk. To be treated as an equal by Ares and earn Isabel's special attention…"
"But he's gone and offended Saphis… The Yingge Clan is not to be trifled with…"
