Jubeiwangfu.

The old man had a head of white hair, his eye sockets were filled with tears, and his face wore a smile of relief.

Before him, a young man in luxurious clothing lay on the ground, his aura extremely weak: "Father... why, why? I am your son, the heir of Jubeiwangfu, the future King of Liangdu!"

The poison in the man was called Three-Day Severance; if the antidote was not obtained within these three days, the venom would strike the heart and kill him.

"The Three-Color Pavilion is finally gone." A look of satisfaction appeared on the Jubei King's senile face, "Your backing is gone, too."

"Father, we are family!"

"You still know we are family?

Your sister, your brother-in-law, you betrayed them just like that to Su Yunqiong, to the Three-Color Pavilion?" The Jubei King's face twisted, clearly in a great rage, "The information on the Immortal's finger bone, Qi Bai told you and me because he trusted us, treated us as family, and you!"

As he spoke, he kicked the man in the stomach without mercy.

The man spat out fresh blood, the color of the blood was pitch black.

The young man panicked, a look of pleading appearing on his face: "Father, if you kill me, you will have no descendants!"

He was a spoiled son of a wealthy family; where had he ever suffered such hardship?

"I do not lack descendants." A sharp edge appeared on the old man's face, "My grandson is still alive!"

As he spoke, he stepped onto the young man's chest.

The young man's heart pulse shattered instantly.

Dead.

The Jubei King looked at the corpse on the ground; his already aged body seemed to age a few more years.

"My son, you are not only spoiled and stupid, but you also have no heart."

Four years later.

Lin'an City.

Ping'an Escort Agency.

The sound of a man and woman arguing rang out.

"Fine, Qi Pinggui, are you looking down on me because I'm old and withered? Today on the street, you saw that little vixen and stared straight at her, drooling!"

"That wasn't a vixen, that was Fairy Snow Jade of the Azure Cloud Sect," Qi Pinggui explained.

Zhao Cuiyun put her hands on her hips: "Oh, you're already calling her Fairy Snow Jade? How many fairies are you hiding behind my back?"

"You are being unreasonable!" Qi Pinggui looked impatient.

"How am I being unreasonable?" Zhao Cuiyun said loudly, "Fairy Xiaoqian from Pleasure Pavilion, isn't she your old flame?"

"I went to discuss business with her.

Our escort agency has over a hundred people, we have to eat, don't we?"

"Discussing business until you ended up in bed?"

"What are you saying? What bed? I clearly crawled under the bed!"

"Oh, so a noble guest of Xiaoqian appeared, and you were so scared of being discovered that you hid under the bed?"

"How can I not make you understand? You stinking woman!"

"I'm a stinking woman? You run to the brothel every three days, and you don't even come home.

Now Mu is already seventeen, and he doesn't even have a marriage arrangement.

Everyone looks down on his father, saying he's a useless piece of trash!"

"Who are you calling trash? If you don't like me, and you don't want to live this life anymore, then let's stop."

"What's that, Qi Pinggui, do you want to divorce me?"

Listening to the two arguing, Lin Chao shrugged, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Father, Mother, stop arguing."

Lin Chao's voice came through.

In the courtyard, Qi Pinggui and Zhao Cui Yun, who had been at daggers drawn, immediately lost their anger and stopped arguing.

"Mu, your mother and I were just playing around."

"Yes, yes, just playing around."

Qi Pinggui and Zhao Cui Yun looked at Lin Chao, a trace of worry and awe deep in their eyes.

"Playing is playing, but no... divorcing." Lin Chao could not think of a better term, so he used divorce.

"Don't worry, we won't, we won't."

Qi Pinggui hugged Zhao Cui Yun, looking incredibly intimate.

Watching the two, Lin Chao sighed.

In order to get a higher evaluation for this reincarnation, Lin Chao had expended a lot of effort on the family.

His real parents had already passed away.

And to form a family, one must first have parents.

Thus, Lin Chao used the talent of the Puppet Master to create over a hundred people, including a father, mother, maids, servants, laborers, guards, and so on.

The maids were very attentive, the servants were very loyal.

The laborers were fine as long as they were fed and housed.

The guards were strong and powerful.

It was just that these parents he had put so much effort into making did not have very good results.

They had been created for four years, and they argued over small things every three days and big things every seven days.

Every time they argued, they would threaten to divorce.

If Lin Chao were not here, these two puppet parents would likely have divorced many times over.

"It's too difficult."

Lin Chao sighed.

Is building a home really this hard?

He felt that he had not completed this home-building task very well this time.

"Could it be that there is too little human energy in the house?"

Lin Chao pondered.

In this large house, he was actually the only living person.

The others were all puppets.

"Forget it, I should recruit some real people." After thinking for a moment, Lin Chao decided to add some human energy to this home.

"Xiaoyu," Lin Chao called out.

Immediately, a fair-skinned and beautiful woman walked over, a respectful expression on her face.

"Young Master."

Lin Chao glanced at her.

Although Xiaoyu was beautiful and an older sister figure, it was a pity she was a puppet sister.

"Go and recruit some new servants and guards."

"As you command."

"Oh, and recruit some escort guards as well; there is a threshold, they must be martial artists."

"As you command."

Ping'an Escort Agency was founded by Lin Chao.

Almost everyone in this escort agency was also created by Lin Chao according to his Puppet Master talent.

They were lifelike, just like real people.

But Lin Chao knew they were not human; they had no souls and were more like robots following orders.

Of course, the head Escort Head of Ping'an Escort Agency was a real person named Wei Fangsong.

Due to an accident, he had joined Ping'an Escort Agency.

Lin Chao walked out of the courtyard.

The Sun in the sky was just right.

It was a pity that, for some reason, Lin Chao felt something was strange when he looked at this Sun.

"Time to drink."

Nowadays, when Lin Chao had nothing to do, he would go to a restaurant to drink.

Firstly, to delve deeper into this world and understand news of the martial arts world.

Secondly, he felt that the opportunity for his breakthrough lay within this world of common people.

"Brother Qi Mu, you're here!"

A youth walked over to greet him, a joyful expression on his face.

The youth looked a bit younger than Lin Chao.

"Wu Xu, the usual, get it ready."

"Alright."

Wu Xu was the son of the president of the Red Sun Chamber of Commerce, and this restaurant was also one of his family's businesses.

Wu Xu and Lin Chao were of similar age and had a good relationship.

It was mainly because this youth, Wu Xu, loved the martial arts world.

Unfortunately, his constitution was weak, and he could not practice martial arts.

Lin Chao's family ran an escort agency, traveling north and south, and knew many people in the martial arts world.

Wu Xu yearned for Lin Chao's lifestyle.

The food and wine were brought up.

Wu Xu took out a copy of the Hero Journal.

"Brother Qi Mu, look quickly, the Hero Journal has released big news again.

A Rain-level assassin from Wind and Rain Tower assassinated a general of Wei and escaped unscathed.

This Wind and Rain Tower is truly worthy of being the world's number one assassin organization; a Rain-level assassin is just that strong!"

Wu Xu discussed matters of the martial arts world, his face showing an excited expression, his heart filled with yearning.

Lin Chao smiled: "Indeed, very impressive."

Wind and Rain Tower was an assassin organization that had risen to fame in the martial arts world in recent years.

The rise of this assassin organization was like a Legendary tale.

The concubine of the current Grand Chancellor had been assassinated by an assassin from Wind and Rain Tower.

Yet, the current Grand Chancellor could do nothing about Wind and Rain Tower.

Later, Wind and Rain Tower assassinated many First-Grade Experts, and even killed quite a few Grandmaster-level experts.

Wind and Rain Tower became the number one assassin organization in the martial arts world.

"I heard that Wind and Rain Tower's assassins are divided into four levels: Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Electric, with Wind-level assassins being the lowest and Electric-level assassins being the strongest.

If a Rain-level assassin is this strong, how terrifying must an Electric-level assassin be?

Wind and Rain Tower is truly worthy of being the world's number one assassin organization; it is simply too strong!" Wu Xu looked at the Hero Journal, his face full of excitement.

Just at this moment, a hoarse voice came from nearby.

"Wind and Rain Tower is strong, but compared to the Three-Color Pavilion of the past, it is still quite lacking," a Broken-Finger Knight said slowly.

A black silk scarf was tied around his hair, and one finger on his left hand was missing; at this moment, he was holding chopsticks, eating peanuts, and drinking wine.

Seeing this person, Wu Xu's eyes lit up.

What he loved most was the jianghu, the martial arts world of knights.

"This great hero, wasn't the Three-Color Pavilion destroyed by someone?

If the Three-Color Pavilion was very strong, how could it have been destroyed?" Wu Xu asked, puzzled.

The Broken-Finger Knight put down his chopsticks and pondered for a long time before saying, "It is because the person who destroyed it... was too strong."

"Who destroyed the Three-Color Pavilion?" Wu Xu was particularly interested in these secret affairs of the jianghu.

"Rumor has it that it was the Spear Emperor, the Sword Emperor, and the Blade Emperor—three Grandmasters—who joined forces to destroy the Three-Color Pavilion.

In that battle, over a thousand people from the Three-Color Pavilion died, and countless Grandmasters and First-Grade Experts perished."

"These three Grandmasters are truly too strong; if one day I could become... or even see such a powerhouse, I would have no regrets in this life."

The Broken-Finger Knight smiled: "The rumor in the jianghu is that three Grandmasters destroyed the Three-Color Pavilion.

But recently, a new rumor has emerged that those three Grandmasters were actually one person.

That Grandmaster was Proficient in Spear techniques, Sword techniques, and Blade techniques, and he used three types of weapons alone to wipe out the Three-Color Pavilion."

"One person!" Wu Xu was stunned, "So strong? Doesn't that mean this person is comparable to the Heavenly Human of Fenglangguo?"

Heavenly Human is a title of respect.

Rumor has it that Fenglangguo obtained the body of an Immortal.

The Immortal Corpse contained all sorts of mysteries.

The people of Fenglangguo comprehended powerful martial arts based on this Immortal Corpse.

One of them even reached the realm of a Heavenly Human.

The ceiling of combat power in this jianghu has always been the Grandmaster.

There is not much difference in strength between Grandmasters.

However, when that Heavenly Human from Fenglangguo first entered the Great Yan Dynasty, it caused a huge sensation.

Only then did the Great Yan Dynasty know that there were Heavenly Humans above Martial Arts Grandmasters.

However, to enter the Heavenly Human realm, one must obtain an Immortal Corpse.

To Slay over a thousand martial artists alone, along with many Grandmasters and First-Grade Experts.

Wu Xu naturally believed that this person was comparable to a Heavenly Human.

"Who knows?" the Broken-Finger Knight said, though his eyes were filled with longing.

"Brother Qi Mu, do you think the one who destroyed the Three-Color Pavilion was three powerhouses, or one?" Wu Xu looked at Lin Chao.

"Perhaps it was one."

"Then do you think the Three-Color Pavilion is more formidable, or Wind and Rain Tower?"

"I have never seen the assassins of Wind and Rain Tower, so how would I know?"

"You haven't seen the assassins of the Three-Color Pavilion either!"

Lin Chao smiled, and just then, a burly man walked over.

The burly man was very tall, and a faint baleful aura clung to his body.

The person who arrived was none other than the head Escort Head of Ping'an Escort Agency, Wei Fangsong.

Ever since Wei Fangsong joined Ping'an Escort Agency, he had been conscientious and never caused trouble.

The escorts he guarded had never been lost.

It was precisely because of him that Ping'an Escort Agency was able to gain a firm foothold in Lin'an City.

"Young Master, a good friend of mine has arrived in Lin'an, and I would like to request a day and a half of leave; I will not be returning to the escort agency for the time being."

Standing behind Wei Fangsong was also a small old man.

Lin Chao took a look and didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.

This acquaintance was none other than Wang Qiyun of Tianji Pavilion, the person who had sold information to Lin Chao back then.

Lin Chao looked at Wang Qiyun and smiled.

Wang Qiyun nodded in acknowledgment.

"Granted." Lin Chao approved Wei Fangsong's leave.
