Episode 3 recap: Huo Xiao Xie swallowed the Yutai Pearl and planned to save his senior brothers.
The captain of the Japanese Black Tiger Squad continued to chase Huo Xiao Xie and his senior brothers. Lao Guan provided cover for them and let Huo Xiao Xie go ahead. However, Lao Guan, who had already been shot, found it difficult to continue running. Huo Xiao Xie demanded that Lao Guan be spared, threatening to shatter the Yutai Pearl. Seeing Huo Xiao Xie's strong sense of loyalty, the Japanese soldiers decided to play the emotional card. Lao Guan knew that Huo Xiao Xie would never abandon him, but the fate of the other two brothers was uncertain. In order to allow Huo Xiao Xie to save the other two as soon as possible, Lao Guan grabbed the explosives and charged towards the Japanese troops.
Huo Xiao Xie wanted to find Lao Guan's body, but Zheng Ze Dao took advantage of the thick smoke and kidnapped Huo Xiao Xie, taking him to the police station. He also inquired about the Yutai Pearl. Huo Xiao Xie asked why everyone was so eager to obtain the Yutai Pearl.
Zheng Ze Dao explained that only the Yutai Pearl could lead them to the Holy King's Tripod. The Holy King's Tripod was originally under the control of the Five Elements Clan, but it was lost during the chaos caused by warlords. The current whereabouts of the Holy King's Tripod were unknown, but there were clues inside the Yutai Pearl. Zheng Ze Dao promised to help rescue Bie Hou and Lang De Ben. Zhou, the butler, investigated the identity of the thief who took the Yutai Pearl. It turned out that Huo Xiao Xie was a disciple of San Zhi Liu, and the woman had infiltrated the mansion a month ago disguised as a maid. She must have some martial arts skills. Zhang Si Ye understood why the Yutai Pearl was stolen, but the disappearance of the Linglong Mirror indicated that the thief had another motive. The Linglong Mirror was the only thing left by his beloved daughter.
Zhang Si Ye ordered that Huo Xiao Xie and the female thief must be found and dealt with together. Shui Yao Er sneaked into the police station and found Huo Xiao Xie, questioning him about the whereabouts of the Linglong Mirror. Huo Xiao Xie proposed an exchange: Shui Yao Er would help him rescue Bie Hou and Lang De Ben, and in return, he would return the Linglong Mirror.
Huo Xiao Xie continued to inquire about the whereabouts of his two junior brothers on the street. Several adopted children said they hadn't heard any news yet, but suddenly a message arrived that Bie Hou and Lang De Ben were being held captive in front of Zhang's mansion as a public display.
Huo Xiao Xie hurriedly rushed to Zhang's mansion, but before he could reach it, he was intercepted by San Zhi Liu, who had secretly escaped from the kidnapping by Hei San Bian. San Zhi Liu advised Huo Xiao Xie not to take unnecessary risks. Upon learning that Huo Xiao Xie had swallowed the Yutai Pearl, San Zhi Liu suggested that he hide for the time being. If Zhang's mansion couldn't find Huo Xiao Xie, they would undoubtedly come looking for San Zhi Liu. At that time, San Zhi Liu would deal with them and find a way to rescue Bie Hou and Lang De Ben.
The president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce found Zhang's mansion and suspected that Zhang Si Ye had released the information in advance to attract the attention of the Five Elements Clan, fearing that he had ulterior motives. Zhang Si Ye told the Japanese man about the secret of the Holy King's Tripod hidden in the Yutai Pearl. Only the Five Elements Clan could decipher it. Therefore, instead of being stolen by the Five Elements Clan, they could secretly decipher it and then eliminate the Five Elements Clan. However, they needed the assistance of the Japanese Black Tiger Squad.
Under the cover of darkness, Huo Xiao Xie and Shui Yao Er sneaked into San Zhi Liu's house. Inside the room, they found Lao Guan's body, which made Huo Xiao Xie deeply saddened. San Zhi Liu informed Huo Xiao Xie that Zhang's mansion had notified him that at midnight, they would exchange the other two disciples in the mountain behind. Huo Xiao Xie didn't want his master to take risks, so he drugged the wine. San Zhi Liu drank it and fell unconscious on the bed. Huo Xiao Xie quickly rushed to the mountain with Shui Yao Er.
As expected, Zhou, the butler, was waiting in the mountains with Bie Hou and Lang De Ben, who were bound hand and foot. Huo Xiao Xie suggested releasing them first and then accompanying Zhou to find the Yutai Pearl. Zhou ordered that the two be handed over to Huo Xiao Xie. When the two were brought closer, Huo Xiao Xie suddenly drew a dagger from the explosives and stabbed them. Shui Yao Er intervened to save them, but she was reaching her limit. Just when things seemed dire, San Zhi Liu arrived at the scene and engaged in a fight with Zhou. It turned out that the fainting act was just a ruse. San Zhi Liu knew that Huo Xiao Xie, with his temperament, would never agree to take risks together.
