The recent events had been one after another, and even if he wanted to focus on returning to the plains of his own world and conduct his research, it seemed there was no time for that.
"I will certainly notify you at the first opportunity, rest assured," Xie Jin promised. "But at the moment, I am the target of many, and Fire Emperor surely harbours ill intentions towards me. What I mean is..."
"You can be completely at ease about that, Xie Jin," Emperor Water interrupted before Xie Jin could finish. "Although we of the Water Clan are not as powerful as the terrestrial clans, we are still capable of ensuring your protection."
