Episode 3 recap: Huo Bao Pi regards Guo Da Lu as a versatile killer.
The technique of the versatile killer completely surprised Huo Bao Pi. As a result, Huo Bao Pi's attitude improved, and the versatile killer straightforwardly stated that anyone who dared to question him was already dead. However, today, out of respect for Gui Gong Zi, the versatile killer decided to spare Huo Bao Pi. Huo Bao Pi expressed his gratitude repeatedly and then pleaded with the versatile killer to revert back, as it was strange for him to speak while looking at his own face. Without hesitation, the versatile killer transformed back to his original appearance. Gui Gong Zi witnessed the true ability of the versatile killer and proceeded to discuss the price. As expected, great skill came with a high price, but Gui Gong Zi didn't value such matters and readily agreed!
The three new heirs of the Bai Lao Hui each had their own thoughts. Lin Tai Ping was busy chatting with his subordinates, Wang Dong seemed absent-minded, and Yan Qi believed that being a detective would bring a greater sense of accomplishment. Lost in her thoughts, Yan Qi suddenly screamed, saying that the security in Ping An Town must have been excellent before, so how could this crazy Cross Sword suddenly appear? Lin Tai Ping stated that there was no such person at all! Yan Qi directly refuted Lin Tai Ping's idea and turned to look at Wang Dong. Wang Dong also didn't provide a satisfactory answer to Yan Qi. Yan Qi bluntly stated that this indicated that the crazy Cross Sword was not a local person! According to Yan Qi's inference, this person must still be in Ping An Town. Therefore, Yan Qi proposed investigating at the inn. Lin Tai Ping was also interested, and they set off together.
At this moment, the versatile killer was analyzing the characteristics of the three heirs and planning his own strategy with Gui Gong Zi. In the end, Gui Gong Zi was very satisfied, and the versatile killer decided to take immediate action. However, considering that there were still many people in the martial world who acted deceitfully, he produced a jade pendant and stated that it would serve as a token. The next time they met, they would only recognize the jade pendant, not the person! Gui Gong Zi and Huo Bao Pi confirmed that they understood, and the versatile killer immediately set off.
Yan Qi and Lin Tai Ping also left the place. When Yan Qi saw the wanted notice for the capture of Guo Da Lu, she immediately deduced that the court was secretly investigating the whereabouts of the crazy Cross Sword. Therefore, she tore down the notice and began investigating everywhere!
The versatile killer first arrived at Mai Ji Rice Restaurant and booked a room. Unexpectedly, Yan Qi and Lin Tai Ping also arrived. When Guo Da Lu saw them holding his wanted notice from a distance, he panicked. The versatile killer also thought they were coming for him, so they went upstairs one after another. Yan Qi, seeing the suspicious Guo Da Lu, thought she had discovered something and followed him upstairs. Unexpectedly, they accidentally entered the versatile killer's room! When Yan Qi and Lin Tai Ping arrived, they found the room empty. It turned out that the two of them were hanging outside the window. While Yan Qi and Lin Tai Ping were investigating, the versatile killer noticed that Guo Da Lu had a jade pendant similar to his own in his arms. The versatile killer tried to take it, and a fight ensued between them. Yan Qi heard the commotion and chased after them. When Yan Qi caught Guo Da Lu, he had an innocent look on his face since he had no idea why he was being chased. As Yan Qi turned around, she saw the suspicious versatile killer and pursued him.
Inside Mai Ji Rice Restaurant, Mai Lao Guang was surrounded by customers because the chef had run away. The whole restaurant was in chaos. Lin Tai Ping was detaining people for investigation, and Mai Lao Guang had a lot to say in frustration. Later, Yan Qi returned, but they didn't gain any useful information, so they took the opportunity to leave. Guo Da Lu also returned, and Mai Lao Guang was furious. In anger, he fired Guo Da Lu and didn't even allow him to spend the night there. However, not long after, the versatile killer returned to find Guo Da Lu. Mai Lao Guang scolded him and told him that he had fired Guo Da Lu. Poor Guo Da Lu had to sleep on the street for a night and had a nightmare. When he woke up, it was already morning, and he found a jade pendant at his feet.
Mai Lao Guang reported to the sect leaders. When the senior and third sect leaders were discussing how to educate the children, the children suddenly appeared and expressed their willingness to become the successors of the sect. The two sect leaders immediately changed their expressions and told the children to be bold and they would have their backs. The second sect leader couldn't bear to watch and left directly. Wang Fu Lei then found Wang Dong and talked to him about Hong Niang Zi. Wang Dong not only disagreed with separating from Hong Niang Zi but also refused to become the successor. Wang Fu Lei firmly stated that it was not possible because Hong Niang Zi's background was not suitable for Wang Dong. Wang Dong couldn't stand it and said he would consider becoming the successor but would never separate from Hong Niang Zi.
Guo Da Lu went to find Mai Xiao Ya with the jade pendant. Mai Xiao Ya recommended Li Yuan Pawnshop to him. When Guo Da Lu showed the jade pendant to Huo Bao Pi, Huo Bao Pi immediately believed that Guo Da Lu was the versatile killer and arranged for his request to be fulfilled. When the real versatile killer arrived, Huo Bao Pi didn't believe him at all and knocked him unconscious. The versatile killer took the opportunity to escape. Gui Gong Zi thought that Huo Bao Pi had leaked the information and punished him!
The story of Feng Qi Wu is quite interesting, involving a renowned river pirate and a courtesan. If it ends up being bittersweet (BE), it means the two of them will have no further connection. After parting ways, they never see each other again, and the girl marries someone else, leading a plain and ordinary life.
Who would have thought that her current husband is actually the dream lover from back then? In order to be with the girl he loves, he chose to live a simple life and settled down, becoming the honest person that everyone now takes advantage of. The love the man has for the woman is sweeter than the artificial sweetness of industrial sugar, and it feels more realistic.
In fact, the legendary thief, like Lao Bai and Feng Qi Wu, is mostly just a subject of rumors in the martial arts world. It sounds cool, but it's also a kind of idol packaging.
