"I have not summoned you today because of what you did at the Zhou Family, but because the Holy Emperor urgently consulted with me last night about the defense against the southward advance of the Demon Court."

"But... but I'm worried Yi Er will be bullied in Kyoto Prefecture. Husband, you should know that these past days, the Great Demon Kings, and even Wuliang Mountain, have bullied Yi Er..."
"Bullied him?"
