"Xie Jin, you're surely aware of why you have been invited to Sky City," said the Heavenly Clan Queen.
"Of course, Your Highness, it's only that I have already given my word to the Great Emperor, and if now..." Xie Jin deliberately did not finish his sentence. Some things, if said completely, would be incorrect.

"I am fully aware of that," she said. "The Heavenly Clan has always remained strictly neutral, taking no part in the wars on the surface. But now, as we watch the Otherworldly realm teetering on the brink of destruction, Silver City can no longer stand idly by without consequences."
