The two of them were watching him now, too. They didn't interrupt Lu Yin's thoughts. The longer he thought, the more he clearly knew.
Especially just now, they had seen a flicker of shock in Lu Yin's eyes. What had caused it?
The struggle over the title of Supreme God was a matter for Yu Sang Tian and the others. Lu Yin merely knew why Yu Sang Tian hadn't restarted the Heavenly Origin Universe and the Consciousness Universe. That shouldn't have been enough to cause such shock.
That flicker of shock must have come from something else.
A reason that perhaps neither of them knew.
"You won't tell me the names of the people you represent, but I've already guessed that someone among the Lower Supreme Gods stands behind you. So..." Lu Yin stared at Nine Immortals. "Can you contact the Lower Supreme God you represent on your own?"
Nine Immortals exchanged a glance with Old Man Yu. Contact him?
"Ask a different question," Nine Immortals replied.
She hadn't answered, but she had answered all the same.
Nine Immortals suddenly smiled and looked at Old Man Yu. "Is that the answer you wanted to hear?"
Old Man Yu was confused. "What do you mean?"
Nine Immortals looked at him. "Let's ask each other a question—the one just now. Can you contact the person behind you?"
Old Man Yu was calm. "What about you? Can you contact yours?"
Lu Yin didn't interrupt. Nine Immortals had told him to ask a different question, which was as good as saying she could contact her backer. But now she was having this exchange with Old Man Yu, deliberately muddling the issue. Had she meant her answer for Lu Yin or for Old Man Yu? And could Old Man Yu contact the person behind him?
