'I need to do something to tip the scale,' Wang Wei thought. He immediately contacted Cao Sicong, attempting to persuade the latter to intervene in this matter. With the promise of benefits and resources, he felt he could convince him. However, the bastard did not even answer Wang Wei's communication.
Instead, he came into contact with Cao Sicong's people, and they informed him that he had been in seclusion since the end of the assembly. Wang Wei resisted the urge to curse him. Instead, he focused on Plan B: the Heavenly Serpent Empress.
She was the only available Primal with whom he had a connection. As such, he wanted to bargain with her using the means to repair her artifact, but Wang Wei still hit a wall. For some reason, she flat-out rejected his proposition and refused further communication.
