Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 1008 Light and Tree

But it's empty.

"He slipped away again..."

The old man muttered something, but there was no sign of disappointment on his face.

The young man handed over the scooped wine.

"The fish today are very slippery."

"yes!"

The old man laughed and sighed, "What a pity for my bait."

Ning Fan and Luo Xiu just watched the two people talking quietly as if no one was around, but had no intention of interrupting.

The old man seemed to notice them only then. He drank the wine in one gulp and blinked.

"Old senior, nice to meet you."

Ning Fan smiled and clasped his fists.

The old man laughed too.

"Commander Ning, right?"

"I don't deserve it."

Ning Fan politely responded, "In front of this old senior, I'm just a brat."

"There's no need to be so modest."

The old man waved at Ning Fan and said, "I've heard about your great achievements outside."

Ning Fan walked towards the other party without hesitation.

The old man waved his hand in the air, and two rattan chairs appeared beside him.

"Sit down."

Ning Fan was somewhat surprised by this method that looked like a magic trick, but he was not shocked.

If even that mountain can be moved at will, isn’t it too easy to move two chairs?

"What do you think of my place?"

After Ning Fan sat down, the old man asked with some pride, "Is the scenery nice?"

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

Ning Fan nodded honestly.

The old man continued, "Do you want to stay in a place like this for a few more days?"

Having said that, the old man turned around and waited for Ning Fan's answer with a smile.

However, Ning Fan smiled and shook his head.

"In no mood."

"Why?"

The old man was puzzled.

Ning Fan looked around and spoke softly.

"Illusion is always illusion. Even if it is real...it is still fake."
