Chapter 565: Chapter 371: The Most Infamous Eunuch Under Heaven! Dongchang Overseer!

"Eunuch?"

"East Factory Overseer?"

In the shadowed room, the dim light from outside the window illuminated an old man with hair as white as frost.

He was draped in luxurious brocade, the cuffs embroidered with golden threads that exuded an air of intimidating authority.

At the same time, the old man held a gilt bronze mirror, its surface as cold as water, reflecting a delicate yet fierce countenance.

His brows and eyes were picturesque, yet concealed a murderous aura; the corners of his mouth held a smile, yet it was as cold as a blade.

Lu Xuan slowly closed his eyes, feeling the surging True Qi flowing within him, like a river rushing, like thunder lurking.

This was the robust internal energy only a Martial Arts Grandmaster could possess, movement so powerful it could shatter mountains and stones, or kill invisibly.

"The fourth world of red dust... actually made me a eunuch?"

Even though Lu Xuan had experienced three lifetimes and his Dao heart was as firm as rock, at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a ripple.

The face in the bronze mirror—delicate and pale, yet exuding an undeniable authority, as if silently mocking his fate.

Soon after, Lu Xuan chuckled softly, his fingertips gently brushing over the mirror surface, his gaze growing cold.

"Heh... it doesn’t really matter."

After all, it’s not his own body, just a temporary vessel.

What of being an East Factory Overseer? What of being a eunuch? The rules of this world have always been written by the strong.

Lu Xuan slowly clenched his fist, feeling the torrent of True Qi within, the corners of his mouth curling into a sinister smile.

Points: 0

The most urgent thing now... is to quickly find something that can refine system points.

This is what concerns Lu Xuan the most.

Lu Xuan squinted slightly, his mind surging with fragments of this body’s memories.

This is a low-martial world filled with constant strife, where sects abound amidst the glint of swords and shadows, as heroes and demons rise together.

Though there is no power to move mountains and fill seas, those top martial artists can harm with a mere flower or leaf, and even manipulate swords with qi, killing within ten paces.

And existences stronger than the original body... are not few.

As morning light faintly emerged, golden sunlight filtered through carved window frames, casting dappled patterns on the bluestone floor.

Lu Xuan, in an ink-black brocade robe, stood by the window, his long fingers lightly brushing the dust on the windowsill.

He squinted slightly, his sharp pupils gleaming with unfathomable light in the daylight.

Memories unfolded in his mind like a scroll.

In this body’s understanding, the Commander Envoy of the Great Yu Country’s Jinyi Guard, Shen Wanbao, was always the most threatening sword hanging over his head.

That old fox had long been entrenched in the Garrison Command, reportedly breaking through the Grandmaster’s shackles to reach a realm unattainable by ordinary people.

Just recalling that old fellow’s seemingly smiling expression made the original body feel like pins on his back, unable to sleep through the night.

He feared the day might come when he’d sleep with his head intact and rise without it!

Moreover, the original body faced not only Shen Wanbao but also his four subordinating Garrison Commanders—Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise.

The Green Dragon Sword moved like a dragon, with vicious and cunning moves, while Vermilion Bird moved as light as a swallow, coming and going without a trace.

White Tiger possessed immense strength, capable of splitting stones barehanded, and Black Tortoise with skin like bronze, impervious to blades.

When these four grandmaster-level experts joined forces, even a being of Grandmaster Perfection like the original body had to avoid them.

"Indeed, a tough nut to crack..." Lu Xuan’s lips slightly curled, yet there was no trace of amusement in his eyes.

No choice, the original body’s reputation was admittedly terrible, dubbed the Great Yu Country’s number one treacherous eunuch.

In the court, civil and military officials daily submitted memorials pleading the emperor to execute the original body, piling up into mountains, almost burying the entire Jinluan Hall.

The ink on the yellowing paper was hardly dry, densely covered with curses against the original body.

The content of these memorials was remarkably consistent—not one didn’t request the emperor to execute "Great Yu’s number one treacherous eunuch."

Each memorial recounted court officials’ deep-seated hatred for the original body.

If these memorials were spread out, they might wrap around the imperial city thrice or more.

The variety of execution methods detailed within would put even the Ministry of Justice’s most seasoned executioners to shame—

From the most common poison wine and white silk to the highly inventive "five horses tearing a body" and "death by a thousand cuts"

There were also unheard-of "heaven lighting" and torture into "human swine," showcasing endless creativity.

The reprimands on court were nothing compared to the ridicule from the martial world.

After dinner talks, storytellers loved to recount the "great achievements" of this East Factory Overseer.

The secrets spread in these teahouses and taverns were more horrifying than the court’s memorials.

In the mouths of the martial world, the original body’s name was like King Yama’s death sentence, bringing blood and storms wherever it went.

The renowned Jiangnan talented scholar, with seventy-two family members, lay dead in their courtyard on a moonless, windy night, even infants in swaddling were not spared.

The loyal military general guarding the frontier was framed for treason, and his three clans were executed, his female relatives abducted to dark alleys, brutalized, and left exposed to the wilderness.

There was also the chivalrous martial hero, famed for righteousness, who, for a word of justice, was crippled before his wife and daughter, his abdomen opened.

His wife and daughter, after suffering inhuman torture, were hung on the city gates, becoming a bloody totem intimidating the martial world.

Each tragic case bore the original body’s mark, making the title of "Great Yu’s number one treacherous eunuch" truly deserved!

Yet little did they know, as an East Factory Overseer, he was just the emperor’s tool.

The so-called Jiangnan scholar occasionally composed poems mocking the emperor.

Every month at poetry gatherings, he composed a poem, every word satirizing the emperor’s grandiose ambitions.
