Chapter 1: Director of the Waste Management Bureau

Zhenwu Continent, Wuyan Country, Qianyang Marquis Mansion.

As the sun sets and the breeze blows, more than a dozen dilapidated carriages are lined up in order, driving leisurely on a wide road in the mansion.

Each carriage is loaded with black barrels of various sizes. Waves of disgusting fishy smells come out from the gaps in the lids of the black barrels and drift with the wind, making some servants of the mansion pinch their noses and stay away.

The drivers wear thick masks, frown, and look at the carriage in front from time to time with admiration.

In the front carriage, a gray-clothed boy about fifteen or sixteen years old sits cross-legged, with nothing covering his face.

The boy has a handsome appearance, a thin body, slightly drooping black hair, and a hint of maturity between his eyebrows that does not match his age. A broken knife wrapped in layers of gray linen is tied tightly to his chest.

The most important thing is.

The smell was so stinking that everyone wanted to vomit, but the boy was calm and composed.

"Master Supervisor, you should wear it."

The old man with gray hair holding a whip and driving the cart beside the boy handed over a mask.

"Master Supervisor, hehe..."

The boy couldn't help but smile bitterly when the old man addressed him, and shook his head to reject the other party's kindness.

His name is Chu Tian, ​​and he is the supervisor of the waste department of Qianyang Marquis's Mansion.

The reason why he sat in the position of the supervisor of a marquis's mansion at the age of only fifteen is because he has another identity.

The third son of Qianyang Marquis's Mansion!

To say that he is the third son of the marquis's mansion is actually a bit untrue. Everyone knows that he is not the son of Qianyang Marquis, but was picked up and adopted by Qianyang Marquis in the mountains and forests in the early years.

However, the popularity and favor of this adopted son completely overshadowed his two brothers.

From a very young age, Chu Tian showed an amazing talent for cultivation. At the age of twelve, he reached the ninth level of the Refining Body Realm, which not only broke the record of Qianyang County, but also tied the historical record of the entire Wuyan Kingdom.

Wherever he went, Qianyang Hou would take his genius adopted son with him, showing off to everyone he met, attracting countless admiration and applause.

At that time, the two brothers were completely suppressed by Chu Tian and could only grit their teeth and stamp their feet in secret.

However, all this came to an abrupt end three years ago.

Three years have passed, and Chu Tian's cultivation has not only failed to break through to the Lingyun Realm, but has declined all the way, and now has fallen to only the third level of the Refining Body Realm.

During this period, Qianyang Hou visited countless martial arts masters and Xinglin masters, but unfortunately, they were all at a loss in the face of this strange situation.

Half a year ago, Qianyang Hou was completely disappointed. At the suggestion of his eldest son Chu Xi, he arranged Chu Tian to be the director of the Marquis's Waste Bureau.

The so-called garbage bureau is actually a garbage collection department, including the massive amount of filthy feces produced by hundreds of people in the mansion every day.

From being a favored child in the eyes of everyone to being the head of servants who deal with garbage and feces every day, Chu Tian has suffered, been angry, and sighed, but now he has basically returned to peace.

"Third prince, you should wear it."

The gray-haired old man continued to insist that Chu Tian wear a mask to avoid inhaling the fishy smell.

Chu Tian thanked the old man next to him for his kindness and said kindly: "Old Bai, just call me Chu Tian."

Old Bai had no choice but to put away the mask, secretly sighing that after falling from the top, he could still maintain this humility. The character of this third prince of the marquis's mansion is really extraordinary.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a piercing sound of breaking through the air came from far away and quickly.

"Be careful!"

Chu Tian's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Old Bai and jumped off the carriage. With a flash of his figure, the two moved to a distance of ten feet and turned his head to look.

A silver arrow accurately hit a large black barrel on the carriage. With a "bang", the black barrel exploded on the spot, and countless smelly and foul things flew everywhere like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Chu Tian and Bai Lao hurriedly stepped back a few steps, but they still couldn't dodge, and their clothes were stained with a little dirt.

A trace of anger flashed between his eyebrows. Chu Tian was just about to determine where the silver arrow came from, and two more bursts of air-breaking sound came at high speed.

Bang!

Bang!

The next breath, two silver arrows shot through the remaining two black barrels on the carriage one after another, and the black barrels exploded instantly, and a large amount of smelly and foul things flew everywhere and scattered all over the ground.

"Tsk tsk, second prince, the silver bow that the marquis gave you is really powerful!"

The voice of praise came, with a little flattery.

Not far away, a round-faced boy, dressed in blue brocade, strode over with several servant-like subordinates.

It was Chu Li, the second son of Qianyang Marquis.

In his hand, he held a silver bow that was half a person tall. The surface of the bow was engraved with many intricate patterns, which looked quite delicate.

Chu Li raised his wrist and put the silver bow on his right shoulder.

He glanced at the gray-clothed servant who was smiling flatteringly beside him, and said proudly: "Of course, this bow is a gift from Huxiao Marquis to my father. It is worth a thousand gold and has great power!"

"Meet the second son!"

Seeing Chu Li coming, many servants of the Garbage Bureau knelt down despite their anger.

Only Chu Tian stood alone, not kneeling, coldly watching Chu Li and others approaching.

"How dare you not kneel when you see the second son of the Marquis's Mansion!"

The gray-clothed servant who had a flattering smile on his face before, now completely changed his face to a cold one, raised his head, and shouted at Chu Tian.

Snap!

The gray-clothed servant just finished speaking, and his left face was slapped, and it swelled up.

The person who hit him turned out to be his master - Chu Li!

"Asshole, you can't scold the head of the Garbage Bureau of Qianyang Marquis's Mansion!"

Chu Li retracted his right hand and pretended to shout.

"Yes, yes, yes, I deserve to die, and apologize to the head of the Garbage Bureau."

The gray-clothed servant was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood his master's thoughts, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Tian.

Anyone present, as long as they were not deaf, could hear that there was no apology in his words.

Especially the servants standing behind Chu Li, looking at Chu Tian with contempt in their eyes.

"Director Chu, this servant is outspoken and has apologized, so let him go."

Chu Li spoke at this time, with a faint sneer on his face and a stiff tone.

Once upon a time!

Whether it was his status or his cultivation, he was easily crushed by the guy in front of him and could hardly raise his head.

Now, he gradually regained his lost dignity.

"Second brother, it seems that he is not the only one who should apologize..."

Chu Tian stared at Chu Li and spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the sneer on Chu Li's face disappeared instantly: "Huh, do you mean that I should apologize too?"

"Yes!"

Chu Tian nodded.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.

Dozens of servants from the Garbage Bureau kneeling on the ground raised their heads and looked at Chu Tian in great surprise.

As everyone knows, Chu Tian's cultivation level has been declining. He was sent to the Garbage Bureau as a supervisor. His status has plummeted and he is no longer what he used to be. At this time, he dared to ask the second son of the Marquis's Mansion, Chu Li, to apologize in public!

"Since the second brother is unwilling to apologize, then take this silver bow on your body to make up for it!"

In the next breath, Chu Tian took a step forward, and his right hand stretched out like an eagle claw, directly grabbing the silver bow on Chu Li's right shoulder.

"You dare!"

Seeing this, Chu Li shouted angrily and went forward.

In the past, because he had been abused countless times, he could not raise the slightest desire to fight against Chu Tian, ​​but now, Chu Tian's cultivation level has fallen to only the third level of the Refining Body Realm.

And his cultivation level is the fifth level of the Refining Body Realm, which can easily crush his opponent!

It's just right, you can also take this opportunity to teach Chu Tian a lesson and get back the old ground.

After a breath.

With a "bang", Chu Tian's outstretched right hand and Chu Li's punch collided head-on, and the nearby void was slightly shaken, and a strong wave of air spread out.

Bang, bang, bang!

Unexpectedly, Chu Li's body retreated three steps backward uncontrollably and barely stood firm.

"What!"

Chu Li's face was full of shock, and his mind was blank.

How could it be possible!

His cultivation was obviously higher than his opponent, but he was beaten back by his opponent, and he retreated three steps in a row. This is completely unreasonable!

Could it be that Chu Tian's cultivation did not decline, and everything was an illusion?

Chu Li shook his head. This was impossible!

It was a well-known fact that Chu Tian's cultivation continued to decline, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Garbage Bureau by Qianyang Hou.

"I could easily defeat you before, and I can do it now!"

Without waiting for Chu Li to think further, Chu Tian, ​​who was shouting, had already launched a second attack, and his fist was as powerful as a mountain, suddenly hitting Chu Li's chest.

Since Chu Tian's attack was so sudden, Chu Li had no time to fight back. He could only cross his arms and block them in front of his chest, hoping to resist.

Bang!

In an instant, Chu Tian's fist hit Chu Li's arms heavily, and a great force immediately passed through the blocked arms and landed on Chu Li's chest.

Puff!

Chu Li spurted blood and flew backwards, falling flat on his face, and the silver bow was thrown several feet away.

"Oh my God!"

"How is this possible!"

"The supervisor easily knocked away the second prince Chu Li. Could it be that his talent has not disappeared?"

Many of the servants who were kneeling on the ground stood up at this time, staring at Chu Li who was lying on the ground and wailing.

"Third prince, could he really..."

Bai Lao had followed Chu Tian for the longest time and was loyal to him. Seeing Chu Tian's great power and knocking Chu Li away with one punch, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Chu Tian's face turned pale, he was breathing heavily, walked to the silver bow, bent down to pick it up, and put it on his back.

At this time, the wailing Chu Li also stood up again, his eyes blazing, staring at Chu Tian angrily.

The silver bow, which was worth a thousand gold, was given to him by Qianyang Hou after he begged for it countless times, but now it fell into Chu Tian's hands.

How could he not be angry!

"Second brother, I will keep this silver bow for you first. When you can defeat me, I will return it to you!"

Chu Tian gently stroked the beautiful patterns carved on the surface of the bow and said.

"You, you wait. Three days later, my eldest brother will be engaged to Su Xishui of the Su family. You must be present at that time. Father will naturally take back the silver bow and give it to me again!"

Although Chu Li was still a teenager, he also understood the principle that a good man would not suffer a loss in front of him. After leaving a harsh word, he hurriedly left with several servants.

"This old servant congratulates the third prince for regaining his talent for cultivation."

After Chu Li left, Bai Lao said excitedly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tian suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow". His chest instantly turned blood red and his face turned as pale as paper.

His cultivation level dropped directly from the third level of the Body Refining Realm to the second level of the Body Refining Realm.
