After hearing the Mystic Empress' words, the Third Elder fell silent, no longer daring to utter another word.
Instead, he glared at Yuan with a hateful gaze.
'It was all because of that bastard! If he hadn't shown up, we wouldn't be in this situation!'
The Third Elder blamed everything on Yuan, who showed up out of the blue and purified their poison. Unfortunately, the only thing he could do was complain about it.
After scolding the Third Elder for his incompetence, the Mystic Empress returned her attention to Yuan and spoke calmly, "So, what do you think about my offer?"
"I'm flattered by it," he said. "Unfortunately, I cannot join the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan."
"What is the reasoning behind your decision?" The Mysic Empress asked with narrowed eyes.
"First of all, I don't belong to the Azure Dragon Clan."
"What? Then why are you fighting for them?"
"They have something I want, and I am helping them to acquire it."
