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...
"Ozawa is asleep."
night.
Ning Fan was already lying on the bed, and Wen Cai had just returned to the room.
When Wen Cai whispered this, Ning Fan couldn't help but be stunned.
The two have been married for so many years, and he knows too well how extraordinary the meaning of this sentence is.
In fact, since arriving in Upper City, Ning Fan had rarely had the opportunity to spend time with Wen Cai...
"When are you going to Wujian Mountain?"
Ning Fan had already opened the quilt, but heard Wen Cai ask this question with a worried look on her face.
"If my dad hadn't told me this, how long would you have kept it a secret from me?"
Wen Cai was obviously angry.
Her anger stemmed from the fact that Ning Fan was about to take another risk.
Ning Fan’s strength is indeed very strong now. In this upper city, Bahuang is synonymous with being almost invincible.
But, that's only "almost".
"What did Dad tell you?"
Ning Fan was stunned at first, then he calmed down his agitation and asked softly.
"Aren't you going to Wujian Mountain to fight that Sword God?"
Wen Cai complained, "You still want to hide it from me at this point?"
Ning Fan scratched his head and muttered softly, "How did this matter...get to Dad?"
"Ning Fan!"
Wen Cai sat down beside the bed and took Ning Fan's hand. "Dad said you don't have any grudge against that old Sword God, so why do you have to go..."
"Xiao Cai, this matter is not as serious as you think."
Ning Fan said softly, "Besides, I'm not going to fight him to the death, I'm just going to have a sparring match with him!"
"Swords have no eyes, and sparring doesn't guarantee safety!"
Wen Cai said excitedly, "Besides, you're not a brave and aggressive person! There's no need for you to accept this meaningless exchange!"
"If I hadn't gone, he might have come."
Ning Fan sighed: "When the time comes, the result will be the same."
Wen Cai lowered her head and said nothing.
Of course she knew what Ning Fan meant.
For most people, they think Ning Fan’s decision is fine.
But at least from Wen Cai's perspective, she didn't want Ning Fan to go to Wujian Mountain.
What she cared more about was Ning Fan's safety.
"Don't worry, it's really just a sparring match. I'll be fine."
Ning Fan smiled and consoled him, "Your husband is definitely from the Eight Desolations, it's impossible that he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself."
…
"It has to be Uncle Wen!"
Luo Xiu and Gao Kexin have already left the institute.
After going out, Luo Xiu sighed with a smile.
Gao Kexin nodded silently.
Just now, Wen Xiuyuan called Wen Cai in front of them.
He told Wen Cai that Ning Fan was going to Wujian Mountain, and specifically emphasized that the old Sword God of Wujian Mountain had the same strength of the Eight Desolations as Ning Fan.
The reason for doing this is actually somewhat contrary to Wen Xiuyuan's long-held "belief".
He just wanted to make Wen Cai worry.
You know your own daughter well.
Wen Xiuyuan knew that once Wen Cai knew about this matter, she would definitely go to Ning Fan to find out and express her concern.
At the same time, Ning Fan will receive a message.
That was about his physical problem, and Wen Xiuyuan already knew about it.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that their previous guesses were correct.
Based on Wen Xiuyuan's understanding of Ning Fan, if Luo Xiu was overthinking it and Ning Fan really didn't have any problems, then what would happen next would be...
Ning Fan will go to Luo Xiu and ask him why he told Wen Xiuyuan about this matter, and then passed it on to Wen Cai.
Because Ning Fan didn't want Wen Cai to worry about him, he would try his best to hide those risky things.
And if Ning Fan doesn't make any move tomorrow, it means that they guessed right.
Li Tiandao might really be "monitoring" him all the time.
Similarly, Ning Fan would definitely understand Wen Xiuyuan's meaning and cooperate with Wen Xiuyuan tacitly.
This also shows that Ning Fan's purpose in revealing this information to Luo Xiu was to hope that this time...
It's up to them to help themselves through this difficult time.
Ning Fan certainly couldn't make suggestions like before. This time, he was only responsible for executing everyone's plan.
After analyzing the information provided by Ning Fan, Wen Xiuyuan also realized a problem.
What exactly did Ning Fan want Luo Xiu to convey?
Li Tiandao can "share" information with Ning Fan, so how can outsiders help Ning Fan without telling Li Tiandao?
After all, the two of them were using the same body.
etc.
Body?
Wen Xiuyuan immediately thought of a possibility.
In a few days, Ning Fan will go to Wujian Mountain to spar with the old Sword God.
The other party is also a powerful man in the Eight Desolations.
So is it possible that Ning Fan would be injured in that competition?
We're all from the Eight Desolations, so it's possible for anyone to get hurt, right?
If Ning Fan gets hurt, it's impossible for his family to just ignore him, right?
Since I am in charge, I must provide Ning Fan with the best and most complete treatment.
During this treatment, some blood and even flesh were extracted from Ning Fan's body...
Is that normal?
Thinking of this, Wen Xiuyuan guessed that Ning Fan was giving him this opportunity.
Ning Fan wanted Wen Xiuyuan to figure out what exactly he was!
Only by figuring out this matter first can we find a way to deal with Li Tiandao!
This might be the reason why Ning Fan challenged the old Sword God to a duel.
The reason why Ning Fan made the appointment a few days later was to give Luo Xiu and the others enough time to come up with a solution.
Of course, even though they could guess Ning Fan's intention, they did not relax at all.
Because everyone knows that Li Tiandao is also difficult to deal with.
If Li Tiandao realizes anything, Ning Fan will be in danger.
The most likely outcome is that both the good and the bad will be destroyed.
"Brother Hui, it's up to you."
Luo Xiu said to Gao Kexin seriously.
Gao Kexin nodded: "Well, I will tell him tomorrow morning."
This was also Wen Xiuyuan's suggestion.
Tomorrow morning, Huizi will also receive the news that Ning Fan will go to Wujian Mountain.
Moreover, Gao Kexin would deliberately emphasize that this matter is very dangerous.
Given Huizi's personality and his feelings for Ning Fan, after learning the news, he would definitely go to Ning Fan to find out the truth, just like Wen Cai did just now.
And what they want is this kind of true expression of feelings.
Both Wen Cai and Huizi will be kept in the dark.
In Wen Xiuyuan's words, these are the people who care about Ning Fan the most, and Li Tiandao knows it.
They felt no sense of incongruity in worrying about Ning Fan.
The purpose of doing this is, of course, to tell Ning Fan that Gao Kexin has also participated.
And most importantly, only if those who truly care about Ning Fan show enough concern, will it be possible for Li Tiandao to feel...
No one around Ning Fan was aware of his existence.
