"Alright."
Chen Jian raised his hand to interrupt Jin Zan and then said:
"No need for the flattery—why are you here at this time?"
"We haven't received your application in advance, which is actually against the rules."
"I know, I know..."
Jin Zan's face showed some guilt and unease. After a slight pause, he spoke:
"But this is a... complex story."
"We originally planned to settle in Jinling City and apply to you before coming over."
"However... the situation in Jinling City has changed."
"The Saint has carried out major reforms within the Mechanical God Sect, including reforms to the chamber of commerce."
"I was unaware of this before arriving in Jinling."
"It was only after arriving that I realized I had lost my identity."
"Now, if I want to enter the city, I either need to pay a large fee or wait outside."
"Clearly, I can't risk facing potential monsters alone in the wild outside the city, so I thought I'd try my luck here..."
"Not allowed to enter the city?"
