Chapter 127 - 124- In Danger
"...In a situation like that Brother Yoon-Jae, I believe Su Jin waited until he was older to confront the Nian Beast. He went into the office that day knowing he had changed the Grand Formation Array so if he died the Nian Beast would be trapped here. But to protect his little sister and mother, he ordered the first servant to tell his mother what was happening. It wasn’t a coincidence those two servants were from the Peace Lake Village; Su Jin recruited them because of their hatred for the Nian beast. If anyone would believe him, it was those who suffered from the Nian beast. But... Su Jin failed. He must have doubted his father being the Nian beast during the crucial moment."
Yoon-Jae sat there and listened to Sol’s explanation in silence. Soon he raised his head and asked.
"How do you know all of this, and when did you figure it out? Was it back in that room when I fell asleep? You were acting strange then."
Sol nodded.
"Most of what I explain is just assumptions, but I’m 90% sure I’m correct. As for when I started to suspect Su Moon, it was when I couldn’t read a book in the office. I realized this place could be an illusion, but the illusion was stronger in the office than it was anywhere else in the palace. I think that’s because the books in the office had information about the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension, and the Nian Beast wanted us to believe this place was somewhere else."
"Wait..."
Yoon-Jae suddenly held up his hand.
"So, we’re still in the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension?"
Sol nodded.
"These separate dimensions like the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension are the homes of Immortal Deities from ancient times. I think its residences are separated into the Outer Court, the Middle Court, and the Inner Court. The more powerful Deities live in the Inner Court and have a palace for themselves as well as a territory outside the Dimension."
"Are we in the Inner Court?"
