Chapter 44 Without You, I Am the Best in the World

Of course it couldn't be a centipede swimming by that opened the door. As the imperial teacher, why would he need to personally take action for such a trivial matter as opening the door?

The servant inside heard some noise outside the door and quickly opened it.

The situation outside was clearly visible. The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a huge brown-black sphere. The outer shell of the sphere seemed to be a centipede shell. Under the base of the sphere, there were four long sticks nested inside the sphere.

Only then did Xu Ren'er and the others discover that sixteen centipedes stood up, with four of them assigned a stick. They held up the sticks they were responsible for on their shoulders and strode towards the door.

Xu Ren'er looked him up and down, and concluded in his heart:

This operation is very similar to the sedan chair used by dignitaries in ancient times, except that the appearance has changed a little.

These centipedes walked in a staggering manner, their bodies twisting and turning, and the sedan chair seemed to be about to leave an afterimage.

Although he was shaking, their pace was not fast, and they slowly entered the National Master's Mansion.

This scene left Xu Ren'er confused and puzzled.

The sedan chair is shaking so much, wouldn't the imperial teacher sitting inside feel dizzy?

Inside the sedan chair.

The centipede swam past him with a livid face, his palms pressed hard against his chest, as if he was ready to vomit at any moment.

He...he...he might as well...might as well just walk back...

Normally, he would fly back home directly, so he had never personally experienced being carried away in a sedan chair.

Knowing that Lizhi Yuhui and the others had arrived at his residence, he suddenly had an idea to increase his prestige and let Lizhi Yuhui and the others feel his aura as the imperial teacher.

He specially arranged a sedan chair for himself, and then asked the managers of the Imperial Master's Mansion to arrange people to line up and wait for his arrival, making a grand scene for himself.

Despite all the planning, something still went wrong.

He never expected that he would get sedan chair dizzy! !

He is almost dying!!

"quick……"

Stop now!!

The sound of the centipedes swimming by was a little weak. He tried his best to use the secret language unique to the centipede time to the group of centipedes around him.

He was just halfway through the secret words when he felt like he was about to vomit. He stopped immediately and tried to suppress the urge to vomit.

Even if no one sees him, he has to maintain his image.

It's a pity that he forgot that if he only said half of what he meant, he would not only hurt others but also himself.

The group of little centipedes responsible for carrying the sedan only heard the word "fast" and thought that the centipedes swimming by were dissatisfied with their slow pace, so they quickened their pace, causing the sedan to shake even more violently.

Centipede swims by: ...

As the centipede swam past, he felt even more uncomfortable. He couldn't help but roll his eyes several times.

"stop!"

With the lesson just now, Centipede Swimming immediately changed his words and expressed his core idea concisely and shockingly with just one word.

The sedan stopped at the long corridor behind the Imperial Master's Mansion. As the centipede swam past, he suddenly felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

Eight cracks appeared on the large brown sphere, and the sphere was divided into eight equal parts and expanded outward, revealing the entire figure of the centipede swimming across.

For some reason, when Xu Ren'er saw this scene, he inexplicably felt as if he saw early spring flowers blooming in the sun, revealing fresh and tender stamens.

This association was too outrageous. Xu Ren'er shook his head and quickly got rid of this outrageous idea.

After the centipede swam over and came to its senses, it looked around and found that it was actually standing inside his Imperial Master's Mansion, not outside the door.

The centipede swam by and laughed in anger, silently making a decision in his heart.

This bunch of rubbish, he is going to deduct the wages of all these useless subordinates whose brains have been kicked by a donkey!!!

Whose sedan chair is used to carry people directly into the house?!

Isn't it normal to stop outside the door, support him, and let him get down and walk in by himself?!

Don't they understand this kind of thing that's supposed to be known? Why do they need him to personally teach them?!

Deduct wages! Deduct wages!

If the group of centipedes responsible for carrying the sedan knew what he was thinking, they would probably complain bitterly.

It was you who originally told them to carry the sedan chair into the Imperial Master's Mansion in a grand ceremony, and they did it.

Just now, you were the one who asked for the sedan chair to be carried “fast”, and they did it.

You have never asked to ride in a sedan chair before, but you suddenly assign them the task. They are not professionals in carrying sedan chairs, and it is their first time to carry a sedan chair for someone.

You think this is something that everyone in the world should know by default, but not everyone in the world knows what "default" is.

They've done everything you asked them to do, so how come they're the ones who are at fault? And they're being docked wages?

Day after day, you only see their faults and not their merits. This really makes you, a big boss, feel wronged! !

The centipede swam past with its back to Xu Ren'er and the others, so they couldn't see its face clearly. Lizhi Yuhui stood there with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The back of this national teacher seems a little familiar. Has he seen this person before?

Perhaps Lizhi Yuhui's gaze was too intense, the centipede seemed to sense something as it swam past, and immediately turned around to look behind it, meeting Lizhi Yuhui's gaze head-on.

"It's you!"

When Lizhi Yuhui saw the centipede swimming across his face, he was suddenly a little stunned.

He remembered that this person was one of the assassins who entered Chiguo Pavilion with him that year. He was always inferior to him every year and was once privately called "the second in the thousand-year ranking".

Seeing that Lizhi Yuhui recognized him in an instant, Centipede was a little surprised.

Lizhi Yuhui had no interest in the internal situation of Chiguo Pavilion. He never participated in any events of Chiguo Pavilion and was unwilling to contact anyone. He also thought that Lizhi Yuhui didn't know him at all.

Unexpectedly, Lizhi Yuhui not only knew him, but also had not forgotten him after so many years.

The centipede swam over, raised his brows, smiled, and said:

"Lizhi Yuhui, long time no see."

——

Less than a second after the centipede swam over and said hello, before anyone could react, Lizhi Yuhui had already taken advantage of Tang Beiju's inattention, pulled out Tang Beiju's sword, jumped up, and attacked the centipede.

This move of his left no room for maneuver, trying to completely wipe out the centipede from the world.

Unfortunately, Centipede You was prepared in advance. When Lizhi Yuhui attacked, he had already opened his wings and flew into the sky, avoiding Lizhi Yuhui's attack.

Lizhi Yuhui raised his head coldly, looking up at the flying centipede swimming in the sky. He raised his sword, pointed the tip of the sword at the centipede, and said:

"It was actually you who stole the notebook from me back then."

It was rare in the world to be able to steal his personal belongings from him without anyone noticing. Although he had suspected Chi Guoge, he didn't know who had stolen them.

The ability of the centipede swimming over there was far inferior to his, so he automatically excluded him.

However, the sword he just struck was meant to kill, but the centipede dodged it easily.

I'm afraid that the centipede was hiding its incompetence when it swam by back then.

If this is true, all the mysteries will be solved.

"It's me, what can you do?"

The centipede swam by, patted his clothes in a pretentious manner, and said nonchalantly.

"Why? We have no grudges against each other, and my former companions have never even met you. Why did you harm the Watermelon Tribe? Why did you kill my companions?"

The centipede swam past the national teacher of the carnivorous country. At first glance, his first reaction was that it was due to political reasons.

However, there is no conflict over resources or ideas between the meat-eating country and the fruit-eating country. The meat-eating country has always been located in a remote area, living in peace with the world, and has no desire to expand its territory. Everyone lives in peace.

He did not see any possible political factors involved in this.

He really doesn't understand!

Lizhi Yuhui was extremely angry, but he calmed down and asked.

"Because of you."

Facing Lizhi Yuhui's long string of questions, Centipede Swimming simply flapped its wings vigorously and gave a brief answer of three words.

Then he kept silent, but moved his eyelids slightly and gave a look to the group of subordinates who were watching from afar and had not yet come to their senses.

The subordinates reacted instantly. They looked at Lizhi Yuhui, and one of them stepped forward and accused him:

"How dare you! The Imperial Master treats you as honored guests and entertains you with the best treatment, yet you dare to be disrespectful to him!"

After hearing these words, Lizhi Yuhui raised his brows and said coldly:

"Get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and with a casual sword move, he actually blew away all the subordinates in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Seeing this situation, Centipede Swimming's eyes darkened, his face remained unchanged, but he was secretly shocked in his heart:

Lizhi Yuhui has been away from the Three Foods World for so many years. Without the world's energy supply, he can only train his body purely. However, not only does his martial arts not seem to have declined at all, but he has become stronger than before.

After Lizhi Yuhui cleared the obstructing person, he looked up again, watching the centipede swimming in the sky, and said:

"Please explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by 'because of you'?"

The centipede swam over, suppressing the fluctuations in the depths of his soul. He glanced at the sword in Lizhi Yuhui's hand inconspicuously, and then moved his gaze to Lizhi Yuhui's face.

Stay calm! A centipede is swimming by!

The centipede swam past and silently persuaded himself in his heart:

Although Lizhi Yuhui has become much stronger after these years of experience, he is not a long-term resident of the Three Foods World and is obviously not proficient in controlling energy.

Moreover, after carefully observing Lizhi Yuhui's sword intent on these two occasions, his level was far inferior to his current level. There was no need for him to be afraid of not being able to defeat Lizhi Yuhui!

After completely convincing himself, the centipede swam over, coughed lightly, and told what happened that year:

“Because you are the one chosen by the Three Food Worlds.

You are destined to become the strongest in the Three Food World. In this world, no one can defeat you, and no one can kill you. You are invincible.

Once someone tries to kill you, that person will inevitably be rejected by the Three Food World and suffer severe backlash.

But, Lizhi Yuhui, this is not fair to me.

I want to be the strongest in the Three Foods World, and you, you are favored by the world.

You are the stumbling block that prevents me from becoming the strongest. There is nothing wrong with your existence, but unfortunately, to me, your existence is a mistake.

I can't kill you with my own hands, so I can only start with the people around you and make you choose to leave the Three Foods World on your own.

If you want to blame someone, blame your friends for choosing to be your friends back then! They are your weak spot, and naturally, they are my targets for getting rid of you in disguise.

Without you, I am number one in the world."
