Shen Yuan lightly bowed. "Thank you, Elder Hua. Your praise honors me."
'Good, now I just need one more Inner Sect Elder and the mission will be completed,' he thought to himself with a smirk.
"Have you considered joining the Artifact Hall? It would be a waste of your talent if you didn't join in," she asked.
Shen Yuan showed visible hesitation but soon replied. "I appreciate the offer, but I have many commitments at the moment."
'Like hell I will join that sinking ship, it would be better to open my own Refining Hall at that point so I won't be below anyone,' he inwardly shook his head as he remarked at the situation of the Refining Hall.
"Understandable," she said with a nod. "But do consider it. The Sect could benefit greatly from your skills. After all, there are not many blacksmiths in our Sect."
"I will, Elder," Shen Yuan promised with a serious look on his face.
