"Xie Jin, this is Emperor Water, and his only daughter, Mengna," introduced the Great Emperor as soon as Xie Jin entered. Xie Jin quickly walked over, nodded at the two, and bowed to show his respect.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Your Highness Emperor Water, and the beautiful Princess Mengna."
As soon as Emperor Water heard the man was Xie Jin, he quickly stood up from his seat, his face breaking into a welcoming smile. To Xie Jin, he seemed just a friendly old man; it was hard to believe such a person could be Emperor Water.
"Xie Jin, I'm really pleased to meet you. You know, I've been looking forward to seeing you in person for a long time."
"Your Highness, if you wanted to see me, you could have simply sent General Bai to relay the message and I would have come directly."
Xie Jin's words held a deeper meaning, and seeing the slight change in Emperor Water's eyes, Xie Jin understood that he had grasped the implied message.
