Autumn Rain Night King was the first to appear. She stared coldly at Young Master Hai. "Senior Sea King has never involved himself in the conflicts between the Inner and Outer Universe. Second Young Master Hai, are you going to break that precedent?"
Young Master Hai faced Autumn Rain Night King and replied without deference or servility, "Senior, you misunderstand. Sea King's Heaven has not involved itself in the conflicts between the Inner and Outer Universe. It won't interfere in the struggle over Hong Star, either.
