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...
From Luo Xiu's perspective, the right to choose is not in his hands at all.
In fact, even if he wanted to follow Ning Fan, it would not be that easy.
The two of them were initially in a cooperative relationship, and he did a lot of scheming during this cooperation.
Although Ning Fan didn't mind these little thoughts too much, but...
Killing Luo Xi actually brought trouble to Ning Fan!
This almost directly led to Ning Fan losing Jia Hu, a powerful high-level [Hundred Souls Level] ally.
If Luo Xiu were Ning Fan, he would definitely care about this matter if he were in Ning Fan's shoes.
Even angry!
Therefore, Luo Xiu still couldn't be sure what Ning Fan thought about this issue.
"What were you thinking when you killed Luo Xi?"
Ning Fan was silent for a moment and then asked softly.
Luo Xiu's expression changed slightly.
"I just want to kill."
Ning Fan said nothing, waiting for Luo Xiu to finish.
"Actually, believe it or not, my mind was pretty blank at the time."
Luo Xiu lit a cigarette.
"Luo Minghai is dead. If you say I have no feelings for him, he has raised me for decades after all."
"You know I'm not welcome at home, but on the other hand, compared to ordinary people, I'm doing pretty well."
"When he died, my heart really sank. That feeling...ah! It's hard to describe!"
"People want what they lack."
"I lacked fatherly love and recognition since I was a child, so over the years, I have always wanted to win these things through my own performance."
"But what I dream of, Luo Xi can get without any effort."
"I'm unbalanced."
Luo Xiu's eyes were somewhat blank: "Before Luo Minghai died, he must have asked Jia Hu to take care of Luo Xi."
"He might even tell Jia Hu directly not to let me hurt Luo Xi."
"You see, he's known for a long time that I'm better than Luo Xi, but he just doesn't acknowledge me."
"Now that he's dead, I'll never get what I want."
“So my thinking at the time was very simple.”
"You made me live with regret for the rest of my life..."
"I'll let you die with regret."
Luo Xiu's feelings towards Luo Minghai are actually very complicated.
He knew the circumstances under which his mother became pregnant with him.
But at the same time, Luo Minghai is indeed his father, and he has no choice.
Having said that, Luo Xiu smiled.
"That's what I think, do you believe it?"
Ning Fan looked at Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu was not very nervous and looked at him calmly.
"I don't quite believe it."
Ning Fan also laughed.
Luo Xiu’s face froze.
"You said you had no other thoughts and were just trying to get revenge on Luo Minghai and Luo Xi. I definitely don't believe it."
Ning Fan said softly, "Everyone knows what your other purpose is, but I can't tell how much each of these two reasons contributes."
Luo Xiu licked his lips and then smiled bitterly.
If Ning Fan believed it so easily, then he would not be Ning Fan.
Ning Fan didn't get angry either.
"I'm a person who knows how to settle accounts."
"No matter what your reason was for killing Luo Xi, it's over now."
"After all, we were just partners at the time, and I didn't tell you in advance that I wanted to make such a big scene on Peace Day."
"From this point of view, we are even."
Ning Fan was surprisingly calm. "Without you, the Luo family army wouldn't listen to my orders even if I said something like, 'I'm going to curl my tongue.'"
"The Luo family army made great contributions in today's battle. I will give you this credit."
"Next, if you want to follow me, what I can do is to ignore what happened before."
"But Brother Xiu, let me be frank with you. You won't have the chance to make another mistake."
Luo Xiu didn't expect Ning Fan to be so "generous".
Even though they knew that Jia Hu was involved in his murder of Luo Xi, they did not deal with him.
"Brother Xiu, listen to me."
Ning Fan pointed outside: "Do you remember Zhang Wenqing who led the troops before?"
Luo Xiu thought about it, felt like he had some impression, and nodded.
"We played a game of life and death together before, and he lost a brother, and he was very dissatisfied with me afterwards."
"But I gave him a chance because we were heading in the same direction from the moment we met."
"Problems arose along the way, perhaps due to accidents or misunderstandings, so there is hope that they can be resolved."
"But you're different."
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed: "You have no chance here with me."
"If you make one mistake, I won't let you stay."
"If your starting point is different, your desired destination may be different."
"Brother Xiu, do you understand what I mean?"
Luo Xiu pondered for a long time.
Finally, he nodded: "I understand."
"Can you accept what I said?"
"able."
Luo Xiu seemed relieved: "It's better than not blaming me on the surface but being wary of me behind my back."
"That's too tiring."
Ning Fan smiled: "You are tired, and I am tired too."
"Then can I stay?"
Luo Xiu asked.
Ning Fan nodded: "I have prepared two directions for you, you can choose."
"First, stay in Yefengkou and blend your Luo family army into my army. I will give you another 6,000 men, but they will not be of pure blood."
