"The Demon Race is indeed at a disadvantage now, but our human race has its problems too," Wang Boan remarked with a heavy look, noticing that Gu Ji still didn't seem to take it seriously.
Gu Ji did trust his old friend; the bit of optimism he had shown earlier regarding the situation was partially in jest, intended to lighten the mood for his old friend so he wouldn't oppress himself with worry.
But seeing that his attempt to lighten the mood was ineffective, and his friend remained serious and vigilant, Gu Ji couldn't help but grow serious as well, his smile slowly fading.
"What news have you received, or what have you discovered?" Gu Ji inquired.
In his view, if Wang Boan was so concerned, it could be that he had received some significant news that prompted such consideration.
