The sky was slightly dark, and the Zhao Mansion was already brightly lit. Two rows of red lanterns at the door hung high, stretching across the street for several miles to welcome the guests who came to congratulate him.

There were endless guests, some came alone, some brought their families, some carried full of gifts with mules and horses, some kept treasures silent, and all kinds were different.

Zhao Yinhu, the owner of the Zhao Mansion, is known as invincible in iron arms and has been practicing kung fu for decades. He is definitely a sensational figure in the local area. As a birthday star, he is sitting upright in the middle of the lobby, chatting with his relatives and friends.

"It is no exaggeration to be the hero of today."

"Your vision is too narrow. How can a hero be matched with Mr. Zhao? He is a great hero."

"Yes, yes!" Someone toasted, "Even if the legendary Feng Wu Que Phoenix Sword Technique is the best, he will be willing to give up the disadvantage when he encounters Mr. Zhao's iron arms."

"You guys are too rewarded." Zhao Yinhu stroked his beard and said proudly: "But this set of swordsmanship is heard and is said to be the first swordsmanship in our Dawu Dynasty, but no one has seen it with his own eyes so far. Perhaps, it is just a rumor, and it doesn't exist at all!"

"Master Zhao is so smart, I have never seen Master Zhao's experience of traveling around the world. Feng Wu's sword technique must be just a false reputation." Someone raised his glass to toast.

Zhao Yinhu picked up the wine glass and was about to drink, but a disciple came to him and whispered to him. After hearing this, Zhao Yinhu felt a stern and whispered: "Serious?"

"I have a short-sighted knowledge and cannot tell the truth and falsehood, so I have to ask my master to decide." The disciple bowed down and did not dare to speak loudly.

Zhao In-hu waved his hand: "Call him here."

The guests around him were not sure, so they turned around and watched. After a moment, the disciple led a young man to come. The young man held a small wooden box in both hands, followed behind him slowly, with steady steps and restrained true energy.

The young man walked up and Zhao Yinhu looked up and down, "Have you practiced kung fu?"

"I went back to Mr. Zhao, and I have practiced some kung fu in my family. I admired Mr. Zhao's reputation since I was a child. I learned that Mr. Zhao was on a birthday. By chance, I got this night pearl and specially sent it to cheer Master Zhao up." After that, the young man opened the wooden box and held it in both hands.

The wooden box is wrapped in satin, revealing the upper part of the Night Pearl. The part that the Night Pearl can see is black and has no variegated color. It seems that there is a little smoke in it, which is about to seep out from the surface of the beads.

Zhao Yinhu couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he was talking to himself: "There are four top night pearls in the world, namely Mingyue, Xingdao, Zhaoye, Xuanqing, Mingyue is pure white, Stars fall red, Zhaoye, and Xuanqing is slightly yellow. Looking at the quality of this night pearl, is it Xuanqing?"

The young man said neither humble nor arrogantly: "The villain just listened to the words of others, not distinguishing the authenticity. Besides, the villain's martial arts skills are so terrible that he can get this pearl, for fear of being deceived, so he asked Mr. Zhao to clearly distinguish it."

Zhao Yinhu reached out and took out Ye Mingzhu and played with it in his palm. He stared at Baozhu and asked, "Even if this bead is not a treasure, it is expensive. What do you want to give it to me?"

The young man knelt on his knees and bowed to Zhao Yinhu's feet, "Zhao Master is famous and his disciples admire him very much. He just wanted to take this opportunity to worship Master Zhao's disciple. With Master Zhao's protection, he would be proud and not bullied."

Zhao In-hu smiled slightly and ignored the young man. He ordered: "Switch out all the lights in the lobby. If you have witnessed them, you will appreciate the true face of the pearl. Whether it is true or false, you will naturally know."

A disciple whispered to dissuade him: "On Master's birthday, it's a bad luck to turn off the lights?"

Zhao In-hu snorted coldly, showing a fierce look on his face: "I think it's you who is unlucky!"

The disciple was so scared that he trembled all over and knelt down and said, "Do you deserve to die, please forgive me, Master."

"I'm still talking nonsense. On my birthday, I actually violate taboos everywhere." Zhao Yinhu's face turned blue.

Another disciple stepped forward, slapped the man in the face several times because he was at a loss because of his wrong words, and cursed: "Shut up and listen to Master."

Zhao Yinhu suppressed his anger and ordered: "It's Wang Hao, drag him out and lock him up first, and he will beat the twenty boards to show his warning tomorrow."

Wang Hao ordered the disciple to go out.

The rest of the people dared not accept it. They put out all the lights in the lobby. The night pearl in Zhao Yinhu's hand lit up instantly. The huge hall seemed to be shrouded in the full moonlight, and the figures were clearly visible.

"Xuanqing, it's really Xuanqing." Zhao Yinhu couldn't control his inner excitement and blurted out.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao for getting this treasure!" Some guests immediately congratulated loudly.

When the disciples were happy to see Zhao In-hu, they re-emphasized the lights and the hall became brighter.

Zhao Yinhu was playing with Ye Mingzhu and couldn't let go of it. After a cup of tea, he remembered the young man kneeling at his feet and said with satisfaction: "Get up, you kid is filial, so you have accepted you as a disciple. Tonight is a birthday party for your teacher, and you will officially become a disciple tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Master!" The young man was overjoyed and held the wooden box in both hands and was about to retreat aside.

"Wait." Zhao Yinhu called him, "Put this Xuanqing back in the box first, and ask them to give it to your master's wife later. In a few days, it will be your junior brother's 100-day banquet, just treat it as a gift to them!"

Another guest complimented: "Mr. Zhao is here to have a happy couple. It's a joyful congratulations. We'll join in the fun in a few days."

The young man stepped forward happily and respectfully handed the box over. Zhao Yinhu played with the pearl again, but couldn't let it go. Although he couldn't bear to let it go, he finally put it on the silk in the box. When he was about to put it down, a sudden change occurred. A sleeve arrow suddenly shot out from the bottom of the wooden box and galloped straight between Zhao Yinhu's eyes.

There was no way to avoid it, even though Zhao Yinhu had a deep skill and the point of the arrow was approaching his eyebrows, he stretched out his other hand to grab the sleeve arrow in time.

Zhao Yinhu was furious and was about to stand up when he felt a chill in his belly. A dagger had already pierced into Tianshu acupoint and penetrated into the handle.

The young man succeeded in a blow and was about to jump out. Zhao Yinhu opened his hands and threw the precious night pearl aside. He didn't know where he rolled down. He raised his right foot and kicked it firmly on the young man's lower abdomen. The young man groaned, flew out, hit the beam and pillar heavily, and then fell down, blood flowing out of his mouth, dyeing the front red.

"Who are you? How can I know where my life gate is?" Zhao Yinhu's true energy was shattered, and he was dying and had no strength to speak. His only weakness was his incomprehensible horizontal practice, which was the life gate in his abdomen. He had no idea how to know the secret. He had never told the wife beside him, and how did the young man know it?

The young man was excited and knew that his dantian had broken and his cultivation was gone. He sneered: "Zhao Zhe, you were the housekeeper of this house. He killed my parents and occupied my property back then, and wished he could tear you out of pieces. I just regretted that I was rushing out of the hurry at that time, and my young and ignorant parents didn't have time to teach me much effort, so I had to come up with this bad plan to kill you."

"You are, Gu Shengchao..." Zhao Yinhu pointed at the young man named Gu Shengchao, and his body tilted and he died. His eyes widened, probably because he was unwilling to accept it.

"Who, who killed the master?" Many disciples under Zhao Yinhu rushed over with their swords and stared at Gu Shengchao with great force.

Gu Shengchao looked at death as if he was home, and said coldly: "It's me, I killed this old thief, and I have revenge. If you want to kill and cut, you will be punished!"

Zhao Yinhu is dead, and many disciples have no backbone, so they don’t know what to do.

"Senior Brother, where is the eldest brother?" At this time, a disciple remembered the eldest brother. After all, he obeyed other people's instructions on weekdays.

A disciple came over panting and said in a ventricular manner: "You go to the backyard quickly, senior brother, senior brother..." He did not change his breath and coughed violently.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother?" A disciple gently patted his back.

The disciple recovered and said, "The eldest brother is searching for the gold, silver and fine softness stored by the master in the backyard, and has injured several of the senior brothers."

"This rebellious son has rebelled against him. Let's clean him up together and clean up the door for the master." After the disciple said that, he held Zhao Yinhu's hand and said sadly: "Master, don't be impatient. I'll catch you now and apologize to the master." He rushed to the backyard angrily. The gem ring worn on Zhao Yinhu's finger was gone, and the disciple was rubbing it away and hid it in his palm.

A disciple fell in love with Zhao Yinhu's huge pearl necklace on his chest. He was about to take it off, but he saw many guests' eyes focused. He did not dare to act rashly and pretended to help the master correct his words: "Teacher, take care of him." After he said that, he rushed to the backyard, fearing that he would not be able to grab valuable things if he was too late.

Dear guests, look at me, and look at you, all of them looked at each other.

Finally, some guests couldn't help but feel hungry for treasures and bent down to look for the night pearl that was thrown away by Zhao Yinhu.

"Strange, it seems like I fell here just now?"

"No, I saw you get out of here."

One, two, three...

More people joined in and looked for it. Some people were the first to find it, picked up the night pearl and jumped out of the hall.

"Wait, that's mine." Several people chased after him. The rest knew they were defeated and could not compete with each other, so they ran to the backyard, trying to get a share of the pie. The last few people pushed Zhao In-ho down, looted the jewelry he was wearing, and left.

The initiator of the entire incident, Gu Shengchao, was completely forgotten and stayed alone in the local area, accompanying the dead Zhao In-hu.

A moment later, there was a sound of footsteps, and Wang Hao ran in. When he saw the messy scene, he saw the dead master without any sadness. He asked Gu Shengchao: "Where are people, where have they been?"

"We all went to the backyard to grab things, and it might be too late to go now." Gu Shengchao coughed a few times.

Wang Hao did not dare to stay, for fear that it would be too late to go, so he hurriedly ran away. Wang Hao came to the backyard, except for a few brothers with low martial arts who did not grab the things and were still trying to search. Most of them had already got what they needed and left this place of right and wrong.

The buildings are empty, and the bustling houses in the past have never been so bleak.

Wang Hao walked upstairs to Zhao Yinhu's dormitory. A young woman was watching helplessly with her hair disheveled and holding the child. When she saw Wang Hao coming in, she hurriedly stood up and asked: "What's wrong outside? People are like crazy, snatching things everywhere. Even the gold and silver jewelry on my master's wife were taken off by them. Tell me, is there really something wrong with your master?"

"He was killed by his enemy." Wang Hao nodded.

The young woman collapsed on the bed, and she looked at Wang Hao and had an idea, "This immortal, deserves the sin, deserves it!"

"Why did Master's wife say this?" Wang Hao felt sad when he was stared at him.

The young woman suddenly smiled brightly: "What's going on, don't you know?"

Wang Hao took a step back, "What's the matter?"

"This child, don't you plan to recognize father and son?" The young woman put down the child and approached Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was stunned: "How is it possible? We only happened a few times, it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

The young woman smiled charmingly and said, "How many wives and concubines Zhao Yinhu has married have no children. The problem is naturally with him. You and I have the fate to have this child, so we should cherish it, right?"

Wang Hao looked at the child on the bed and hesitated: "But Master's wife, all the valuable things in the entire house are robbed. What should I use to support you mother and son?"

The young woman refused to comment and said expecting: "The old man is no longer here, what should you call me?"

"Teacher...Teacher..."

Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, walked towards the young woman and said softly: "Madam."

"Mr.." The young woman leaned on Wang Hao's chest and said softly: "We mother and son will rely on you in the future."

Wang Hao hugged the young woman: "There will be a long time in the future. How can we live by guarding this empty house?"

The young woman laughed sweetly and said, "Look, Mr. Lang."

She came to the dressing mirror, twisted the lamp, and with a "creak", the dressing mirror turned aside, and a three-foot square space appeared inside, full of gold bars, silver ingots and various gold and silver fine soft soft materials.

"That old man is meticulous and has built such a treasure cave here for a long time, and I have never told you. It's thanks to an accident that I discovered this secret. With these treasures, it's enough for us to live in the future. I'll give you another boy and half a woman..."

The young woman was still immersed in the yearning for a happy life, and her neck suddenly tightened and was pinched by Wang Hao's hands.

"You, you..."

The young woman was frightened and could no longer speak, and she even vented her breath but did not inhale. No matter how hard she struggled, she was futile. She soon lost her breath and died in Wang Hao's arms.

"Hmph!" Wang Hao threw away the young woman, stood up and said angrily: "Now this house is mine, and the gold and silver are mine. With these, I am afraid that I can't marry my wife. You can just follow the immortal one with peace of mind."

The child on the bed could not find his mother and started crying loudly. Wang Hao was upset when he heard this, so he grabbed the child and threw it out of the window, threw it downstairs and fell to death.
