Traveling through the world's first

"I remembered what my nanny said, to treat myself as a dead person. I didn't consider my body my own. Even when an iron hook pierced my shoulder, I didn't cry out in pain."

"They never left. Later I learned that they were looking for a batch of gold that my father was rumored to have hidden. But the gold didn't exist at all. They stayed there for five days. During these five days, I pretended to be dead among the dead and didn't drink a sip of water."

Shangguan Haitang narrated the story calmly, as if she was just a bystander.

"On the third day, the body began to stink and seep water. Flies also began to fly over. The horrible sound of flies kept ringing in my ears. I didn't dare to move because I wanted to survive."

"On the fifth day, a man came."

This person was none other than the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis when he was young.

He held a sword and looked at the scene in front of him angrily.

He drew his sword and began to kill.

These bandits were no match for Zhu Wusi and were killed one after another with one sword.

Even the bandit leader was seriously injured by his sword.

Then when Zhu Wusi raised his sword again and was about to kill him, Shangguan Haitang spoke.

"Uncle, can you please not kill him?"

"Why, he is badly injured. He won't live long if we don't kill him."

Zhu Wusi narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Shangguan Haitang.

"I want him to hear the flies."

Shangguan Haitang's face was covered in dirt, but her voice was clear.

Zhu Wusi looked at Shangguan Haitang with a satisfied expression.

He knew that he had found the number one Xuan character.

Zhu Wusi pulled Shangguan Haitang and slowly walked out of the yard, the sound of flies filling the air behind them.

Shangguan Haitang came back to her senses and spoke softly.

“To this day, when I’m alone, I still hear the flies.”

"My godfather said that we don't have to disclose our information. Why did you tell me?" asked Duan Tianya who was standing aside.

"Because I always regard you as my real brother." Shangguan Haitang looked up at Duan Tianya.

She recalled the same words and the same past events that she had said to another person two years ago on that night at the No. 1 Manor in the World.

But this person is different from Duan Tianya in front of him.

He would just hug her casually, then comfort her heartlessly and try to make her happy.

Duan Tianya, on the other hand, remained calm and still stood there.

“No wonder your adoptive father sent you to be the number one Xuanzi. If you can survive in this environment, no matter how big the difficulties are in the future, you will not take them seriously.”

Shangguan Haitang asked back: "What about you, brother? Can you tell me how your foster father took you in?"

Duan Tianya snorted, as if recalling bad memories.

"What happened to you?" Shangguan Haitang asked hurriedly.

Duan Tianya turned his head slightly, and his thoughts drifted back to more than ten years ago.

In the bamboo forest, in front of a thatched cottage.

Little Duan Tianya looked only seven or eight years old, wearing tattered brown clothes. He was kneeling on the ground with a man lying in front of him.

At this time, Zhu Wusi came to his side, holding a sword in his left hand and wearing a black robe. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and asked.

"Son, is this your father?"

Little Duan Tianya shook his head.

Zhu Wusi continued to ask: "Then why are you guarding his body?"

"Wait for the beast." Duan Tianya said expressionlessly.

"Why?" Zhu Wusi asked.

Duan Tianya replied: "I want to see him being eaten by wild beasts until nothing is left."

Zhu Wusi paused and continued to ask: "Do you have a deep hatred for him?"

"He killed my father and forced my mother to follow him. He beat and scolded me every day since I was six years old. Later, he raped my sister, and my mother and sister jumped into the well together."

When saying these words, Duan Tianya's expression finally showed a hint of sadness and anger.

"How do you protect this life?" Zhu Wusi asked.

"I was hiding in the woods, sharpening a knife."

When Zhu Wusi heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up and he spoke slowly.

"Just wait until he walks past you, then stab him in the chest."

Zhu Wusi looked at Xiao Duan Tianya again, his inner strength revealed a look of satisfaction, and asked aloud.

"Aren't you afraid you'll starve to death before you kill him?"

“I have nowhere to go.”

"Then you come with me."

Just like that, little Duan Tianya was taken away by Zhu Wusi and adopted as his son.

Time returns to the present.

Hulong Villa, night.

Duan Tianya talked about some of his past events, and he was feeling rather heavy-hearted at the moment.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he stood with his hands behind his back.

Shangguan Haitang sat in front of the dragon claw, and after listening to Duan Tianya's narration, she said softly, "You are really brave."

"Not bad!"

A deep voice came from behind them.

"Godfather! Godfather!" Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya turned around at the same time and greeted Zhu Wusi.

Shangguan Haitang also stood up from in front of the huge dragon claw.

Zhu Wusi had a pleased look on his face and walked over slowly.

"I have never seen such a strong murderous intent and loneliness in a child's eyes."

"I searched for five years and found Tianya first. From that moment on, I knew that the secret agent of Hulong Villa had a chance to succeed."

After Zhu Wusi finished speaking, he came in front of Duan Tianya and the other person.

"Godfather, I rarely hear you mention Yidao." Duan Tianya asked.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't want to tell you. In fact, Yidao's life experience is very mysterious, and he doesn't want to tell anyone, so I know very little." Zhu Wusi said.

"Godfather, the files you have are so huge, can't you find it like this?" Duan Tianya asked curiously.

"I found it, but there are only four words. But it's enough." Zhu Wusi said slowly.

"As long as godfather feels at ease, we won't ask any more questions." Shangguan Haitang glanced at Duan Tianya and said.

Zhu Wusi turned his back to them and said, "Finding your three is the greatest achievement of my life."

Duan Tianya said respectfully: "Foster father's martial arts are unparalleled. Even Gu Santong, who claimed to be the best in the world and had no predecessors or successors, was defeated by you. Although he has now escaped from the prison, he dare not show up in the martial arts world. How can you say that foster father has no achievements?"

"It is difficult to master martial arts, but it is even more difficult to have a discerning eye and find a disciple who can surpass you."

Zhu Wusi turned around and said calmly.

"Father, you think so highly of us, why don't you teach us martial arts in person? Instead, you let Brother Duan go to Fuso to learn Iga-style ninjutsu."

Shangguan Haitang glanced at Duan Tianya and asked with a puzzled look.

Duan Tianya also nodded thoughtfully.

"Why don't you let Yidao learn the Jueqing Slash from Badao, and let me learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, and astrology from Master Wuhen?"

"What I want are four people, each with their own expertise and abilities, not my four shadows," Zhu Wusi explained.

At this time, Gui Hai Yidao suddenly walked out with a knife in his hand, and he continued with Zhu Wusi's words.

"Besides, we will never be able to figure out the details of your martial arts. If we betray you one day, it will be easy for you to kill us."
