Forthat one moment, Guan Yi felt like Jiang Ning had seen through him completely.
He didn't know what Jiang Ning was thinking about, but it seemed like Jiang Ning had read his mind from just looking at him.
How could this be?
Guan Yi tried to calm himself down. He didn't know why he suddenly had this feeling. It was so strange.
"I have something to talk to you about." He didn't want to beat around the bush.
It seemed pointless to beat around the bush with someone like Jiang Ning.
"Do you know what sort of place the Underworld is?"
"I know a thing or two," said Jiang Ning.
He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no either.
Not answering any questions clearly during a negotiation was often the best way to do it.
Guan Yi started to get annoyed, but he tried to remain patient.
He knew that his first move was already wrong and he no longer had any control over the situation. It was too hard to turn things around now.
"The Underworld is just like the Heavenly Palace. They belong to a different dimension. If the Heavenly Palace is in a second dimension, then the Underworld would be considered the third dimension. And the Underworld is a place that refuses to fall behind the Heavenly Palace."
"So you destroyed the Heavenly Palace?" asked Jiang Ning.
"That's just one of the reasons."
Guan Yi thought that Jiang Ning's curiosity had been piqued and he would surely ask about the other reasons.
But Jiang Ning just nodded and didn't ask anymore. He just quietly looked at Guan Yi and waited for him to go on.
Even when Guan Yi didn't look like he was going to continue talking, Jiang Ning didn't get anxious. It looked like he was prepared to just wait for another two minutes, and if Guan Yi didn't say anything, Jiang Ning would just see him out.
"The Demon King has been searching for something, and it could be inside the Heavenly Palace," Guan Yi eventually caved in and broke his silence.
"What is he looking for?" asked Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning always had that expression on. He seemed to be asking questions casually and didn't care if you answered him or not. But if you didn't answer him, then he was just going to walk you out.
