Chapter 18: The Offering

"It's too troublesome, I am afraid I have to reject it.." Wei Di nonchalantly dismissed off the idea.

The steward was shocked. Because those who represent the Zhu clan as an alchemist would mean to be a huge honor to many and have his reputation rise in the alchemist community. However, the steward was determined because the clan leader's instructions were to invite Wei Di at all cost.

Within hours, the Great White Snake Statue was in the gardens of the Sun Clan
