The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 29: Growth is as painful as tearing out tendons and bones
A month later.

"Master, the No. 1 Manor in the World sent an invitation, saying they want to host a banquet for you."

Xi Mingzhang showed a hint of surprise on his face and said:
"The No. 1 Manor in the World is the property of the Hulong Villa. Why would they invite me to a banquet for no reason? Could it be that they think I am the most powerful eunuch in the world and want to invite me to join the No. 1 Manor in the World?"

When Sun An heard this, he immediately said:
"I will refuse it right away."

"Wait, go check on Zhu Tiedan recently. Logically speaking, since his beloved finally came back to life, he should be eager to get married."

"Yes."

Two days later, Sun An found Xi Mingzhang with another invitation.

"Master Governor, the No. 1 Manor in the World wants to host a banquet for you again."

"Don't go."

Xi Mingzhang smiled and asked:

"Is there any news about Hulong Villa?"

"According to the people I sent out, Zhu Tiedan has been staying at Hulong Villa recently and has not made any moves."

"Interesting, go down."

Three days later.

Sun An rushed to find Xi Mingzhang.

"Master, Qianmian Langjun, Wudu, Luo Jusheng and others were all attacked and killed by a group of masters whose origins were unknown."

"Have you received another invitation from the world's number one manor?" Xi Mingzhang asked calmly.

"That's not the case." Sun An shook his head.

"Then let's wait and see."

"Master, someone dared to tamper with Tai Sui, why don't we investigate it?"

"Don't worry, the murderer will jump out on his own."

Two days after Xi Mingzhang finished speaking, Sun An came with an invitation.

"Master, this is another invitation from the world's number one manor, inviting you to a banquet tomorrow. Could this be the work of Zhu Tiedan?" He frowned and continued:
"But these days, I have been sending people to monitor the people in Hulong Villa, and I haven't found any suspicious people."

"If you can find out, then this governor still needs to use Zhu Tiedan to destroy the eight major sects in the martial arts world." Xi Mingzhang chuckled.
"Okay, Cheng Shifei is back, I will bring him to the banquet tomorrow. I want to see what Zhu Wusi wants to do."

"No, Lord Governor." Sun An advised:
"The No. 1 manor in the world is originally the territory of Hulong Mountain Manor. Zhu Tiedan has repeatedly wanted to invite the governor to a banquet. He must be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to plot against us."

Xi Mingzhang's eyes were deep, and he said to himself:

"For twenty years, everyone has said that Zhu Wusi's martial arts is the best in the world. It just so happens that I don't know how strong I am now, so let me weigh the weight of being the best in the world."

"Master, think twice."

Sun An was interrupted by Xi Mingzhang just as he was about to say something:
"As the saying goes, the positive pole gives birth to the negative pole, the negative pole gives birth to the positive pole, the heaven and the man are born, and the world is overwhelmed. This governor has been waiting for a rival for a long time. You don't need to say anything more, go down."

"Yes." Sun An had no choice but to accept the order and leave.

The next day.

Xi Mingzhang brought Cheng Shifei and a group of East Factory masters to the outside of Tianxia Diyi Manor, and saw Shangguan Haitang had been congratulating them for a long time.

"I guess you are the number one spy of Hulong Villa."

"Haitang greets Eunuch Cao." After she clasped her fists and bowed, she looked at Cheng Shifei behind Xi Mingzhang and said:

"I was wondering why I couldn't find you in the martial arts world. It turns out you were hiding in the East Factory. Did you know that the princess has been looking for you these days?"

"I'm just a small gangster in the city, and she is a princess of a royal family. One is on earth, and the other is in heaven. It's best for her and I that one walks on his own single-plank bridge, and the other walks on his own sunny path." Cheng Shifei replied, shaking his head.

"It's not impossible for you and the princess to be together. As long as my foster father helps, it will definitely happen."

Before Shangguan Haitang could finish, Cheng Shifei said angrily, "Who wants that old piglet to help? He and I are sworn enemies."

"You" Shangguan Haitang showed a look of doubt on her face.

At this time, Xi Mingzhang said in a calm tone:

"When old friends meet, they naturally want to reminisce about the past. This governor has always been understanding, but can we talk slowly at the banquet after entering the manor?"

"Eunuch Cao, please come this way." Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haitang suppressed her confusion and led the way for everyone.

After entering a hall, Xi Mingzhang saw all kinds of people.

With a quick glance, he saw a man in tattered clothes, sleeping soundly on a couch not far away.

"Master Shangguan, is this your way of entertaining guests?"

"Eunuch Cao, you don't know that Haitang, the best manor in the world, gathers all kinds of strange people in the world. They can be called the best in the world in various fields, and the person lying there is the laziest person in the world."

“A waste of rice.”

Xi Mingzhang had a puzzled look on his face, and suddenly he waved his sleeves. The world's laziest man not far away was smashed into the wall by a huge force, his bones broken and tendons ruptured. He turned into a pool of mud and died suddenly.

Shangguan Haitang narrowed her eyes slightly in the face of Xi Mingzhang's sudden outburst, and spoke in a cold voice:
"Eunuch Cao, your boyish skills are so powerful that they are truly eye-opening."

"My virgin skills have reached a level never seen before. I have never seen anyone like me before, and I will never see anyone like me again. That is why I have never found a suitable opponent. I think Master Shangguan will not let me down today."

"What does Eunuch Cao mean?" Shangguan Haitang asked calmly.

"No banquet is good, you and I both know that. But having said that, you are also a talented person. Not only can you become one of the three spies of Hulong Villa, but you can also be in charge of the world's number one villa. It's a pity that you are a beautiful woman, but you have to be a thief."

"Since I'm being treated as a pawn, there's nothing much to say about my death. If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself for being blind and having such a foster father."

After Xi Mingzhang finished speaking, a blood spot appeared between Shangguan Haitang's eyebrows for some reason, and with a "bang", he fell to the ground and died.

The people who belonged to the No. 1 Manor in the World all had expressions of horror on their faces. They were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. They felt that this old monster-like eunuch not only had unfathomable martial arts skills, but also had an unpredictable temperament and was really too scary.

In response, Xi Mingzhang simply turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving behind a sentence:
"Kill all these chicken-stealing, dog-stealing, and drunkards. Today, this governor will add the word righteousness to this manor."

"Yes."

Cheng Shifei and others obeyed the order in unison.

For a moment, the hall was filled with the flashing of swords and the sound of killing.

As soon as Xi Mingzhang walked out of the hall, he saw Zhu Wusi, two other spies, and many masters from the Huolong Villa guarding outside.

At this moment, four ghostly figures rushed out from the hall and came to a fat man in his thirties.

"Begonia!"

When this person saw four ghostly masked men carrying Shangguan Haitang's body out of the hall, he immediately cried out in grief.

The two young men beside Zhu Wushi, Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao, hurried over. When they saw that Shangguan Haitang had passed away, they all showed expressions of disbelief and sadness.

"Four Ghosts of Western Hunan, didn't I ask you to protect Haitang?" the fat man asked.

"We were careless. Cao Zhengchun's attack speed was much faster than ours."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people looked at Xi Mingzhang with extremely angry eyes.

"Why are you looking at me? If she is human, she will die. Didn't you send her here yourself?" Xi Mingzhang shook his head.

"In fact, when you trace it back to the root cause, it was not me who killed her, but you. It was you who thought too highly of yourselves and looked down on me."

His expression was extremely calm:
"But it's okay. I think it will help you grow and realize the true meaning of life."

"After all, growing up is painful, like tearing out your tendons and bones. If there is only sunshine without shadows, only joy without pain, then it is not life."
