Chapter 5: Two Visits

Tuo Ba Ye heard the sound, stopped his cultivation, and walked out.

"Mother, I'll go with you."

"Xiao Ye, we absolutely cannot give up the main house. We must go and drive them away." Seeing Tuo Ba Ye, Xia Yuxuan felt as if she had found her mainstay. She no longer treated him like a child.

Tuo Ba Ye was born with divine strength. According to Tuo Ba Jie, his strength was comparable to that of a先天武神 (先天武神).

With Tuo Ba Ye by her side, Xia Yuxuan felt much safer.

Xia Yuxuan found it somewhat amusing that she had become dependent on her three-year-old son.

However, thinking of Tuo Ba Ye's mysterious master, she felt at ease.

Xia Yuxuan held Tuo Ba Ye and followed the steward Lin out.

Outside the main gate, more than ten large men had gathered, all of whom were retainers and servants of Tuo Ba Wei. These men were all后天武者 (后天武者), ranging from one-star to seven-star.

The strongest was an old man, a seven-star后天武者 (后天武者), named Duan Changfu, one of Tuo Ba Wei's stewards.

The Tuo Ba Wei lineage was large, so there were many people in charge.

The Tuo Ba Xiong lineage was small, and with a large contingent of guards, they did not need to recruit retainers or servants.

"Madam, Second Master said he hopes you will move out of the main house voluntarily to avoid us having to take action," Duan Changfu said.

His attitude was still respectful, after all, he was facing the lady of the main lineage of the Tuo Ba family.

Xia Yuxuan said coldly, "Duan Changfu, go back and tell Uncle that our lineage has not yet been extinguished. He is still far from being able to live in the main house."

"Madam, you are forcing our hand. We will have to offend you," Duan Changfu's face turned fierce.

Xia Yuxuan had a high level of cultivation but lacked combat experience. Seeing the large number of opponents, she panicked.

"Mother, don't be afraid. These servants are no match for you," Tuo Ba Ye said.

Xia Yuxuan immediately calmed down, put Tuo Ba Ye aside, and prepared for battle: "Uncle Lin, take care of Xiao Ye."

"Yes, Madam."

"Attack! Drive them out," Duan Changfu waved his hand and shouted.

More than ten large men surrounded Xia Yuxuan, trying to subdue her.

"Ah!" Xia Yuxuan shouted and attacked.

Xia Yuxuan's movements were graceful, even in combat.

However, her strikes were powerful. Her delicate hands struck out, and in a few moves, she sent several servants flying.

The servants were too weak, and the gap was too large; they could not withstand Xia Yuxuan's attacks.

If Xia Yuxuan had combat experience, she could have killed them just now.

Seeing this, Duan Changfu stepped forward: "She still has some strength. Let me handle it."

Duan Changfu's eyes were sharp, and he assumed a stance that was both offensive and defensive, clearly a seasoned fighter.

"Mother, be careful," Tuo Ba Ye said worriedly.

Xia Yuxuan's strength far exceeded Duan Changfu's, but she lacked combat experience, while he was very experienced. The outcome was uncertain.

"Tiger Fist!" Duan Changfu used one of the Tuo Ba family's Five Elements Fist techniques, the Tiger Fist, which was powerful and fierce.

Tuo Ba Ye could see that Duan Changfu had mastered the Tiger Fist to a high level, making it extremely powerful.

Xia Yuxuan's face turned pale, and she became flustered, struggling to defend herself.

"Steward Duan is powerful! Steward Duan is fierce!..." The more than ten large men shouted, cheering for Duan Changfu, and also trying to flatter him.

Seeing Duan Changfu making Xia Yuxuan look bad, they were very excited, thinking victory was near.

The steward Lin was extremely anxious: "What can we do? What can we do?"

"Quickly dodge to the left and strike his right waist," Tuo Ba Ye, unable to bear it, whispered to Xia Yuxuan.

Xia Yuxuan recognized Tuo Ba Ye's voice and chose to trust him. She quickly dodged to the left, evading Duan Changfu's attack, and struck his right waist with a punch.

"Ah!" Duan Changfu screamed and fell to the ground.

Seeing Duan Changfu injured, the retainers and servants were stunned, unable to speak.

However, Duan Changfu's injuries were not severe. He got up and attacked again, even more fiercely.

Tuo Ba Ye, who had learned the Tiger Fist, knew its weaknesses. He occasionally gave Xia Yuxuan pointers, gradually giving her the upper hand.

As the battle continued, Xia Yuxuan gained more experience and became more confident.

"Slap!" Xia Yuxuan slapped Duan Changfu's face, sending him flying.

Duan Changfu was seriously injured, spitting blood, and could not get up.

The more than ten large men turned pale and dared not advance.

"Go!"

Someone shouted, and they carried Duan Changfu away, fleeing.

"Madam, you are truly formidable!" The steward Lin was extremely happy.

He was not a martial artist but a steward responsible for managing household affairs. However, he could see that Xia Yuxuan was very strong.

Xia Yuxuan did not say much, just carried Tuo Ba Ye back to the house.

Alone with her son, Xia Yuxuan asked, "Xiao Ye, was it you speaking in my ear just now? Do you know how to transmit sound?"

"Mother, you lack experience, so I gave you a few pointers," Tuo Ba Ye did not deny it.

"Xiao Ye, it seems you have many secrets from me!" Xia Yuxuan said with a smile.

She was not angry but very happy.

The stronger Tuo Ba Ye was, the happier she was.

"Master doesn't want me to say, so please don't ask, Mother," Tuo Ba Ye said, pouting.

"Alright, I won't ask," Xia Yuxuan did not press further.

Tuo Ba Ye said, "Mother, you lack combat experience and cannot fully utilize your strength."

"Xiao Ye, you are only three years old. Do you have combat experience? How did you see the weakness in the Tiger Fist?" Xia Yuxuan asked.

Tuo Ba Ye smiled, "Master often tests my martial arts, so I have some experience. I have also learned the Tiger Fist, so I know its weaknesses."

"You are a little rascal. It seems Mother still has a lot to learn from you," Xia Yuxuan said with a smile.

Xia Yuxuan knew that Tuo Ba Wei would not give up easily and would continue to try to seize the main house.

With Tuo Ba Jie in the Southern Border, she had to protect the family. She needed to improve her strength.

The next day, she entered the training room and practiced with Tuo Ba Ye. She even asked to spar with him.

Of course, the result of the sparring was obvious; Xia Yuxuan always lost.

Tuo Ba Ye did not use the Overlord Divine Fist or his full strength. He easily defeated Xia Yuxuan using only the Tuo Ba family's martial arts.

"Xiao Ye, from now on, I will practice with you every day to improve my strength," Xia Yuxuan was determined to enhance her strength.

"Great!" Tuo Ba Ye was very happy.

He wanted to help Xia Yuxuan improve so he could stay hidden and protect the family.

He did not want to reveal his strength unless absolutely necessary. Being so young, revealing his strength would be shocking.

On the third day, the Tuo Ba Wei lineage came again, led by Tuo Ba Wei's eldest son, Tuo Ba Ling.

Tuo Ba Ling was older than Tuo Ba Jie but much weaker, having just become a one-star先天武神 (先天武神).

"Brother's wife, you should leave on your own. Otherwise, I will have to take action," Tuo Ba Ling said with a lecherous look, staring at Xia Yuxuan.

Tuo Ba Ye found his gaze disgusting.

Xia Yuxuan felt uncomfortable under his gaze but did not want to react.

"Tuo Ba Ling, the main house is where the main lineage of the family lives. Why are you trying to seize it repeatedly?" Xia Yuxuan asked.

"Ha ha, the family head is missing. Are you still the main lineage?"

"The family head is only missing and could return at any time. For at least three years, we are still the main lineage," Xia Yuxuan said.

Tuo Ba Ling said coldly, "Three years early or late, what's the difference? I advise you to move out voluntarily to avoid being forced out and losing face."

"I will not move. Show me what you can do," Xia Yuxuan said with a righteous expression.

Tuo Ba Ling was stunned, then regained his composure: "Brother's wife, I'm sorry."

His eyes roamed over Xia Yuxuan, almost popping out.

Tuo Ba Ye felt bitter. Xia Yuxuan was definitely no match for Tuo Ba Ling. It seemed he could no longer stay hidden.

Since Tuo Ba Ling was so despicable, he would teach him a lesson. If necessary, he would reveal his divine strength. After all, there have been children with divine strength in the Divine Martial Continent.

"Mother, let me handle it," Tuo Ba Ye stepped forward.

"Ha ha..." Tuo Ba Ling and the large men behind him laughed, as if they had seen the funniest thing.

After a while, Tuo Ba Ling said, "Nephew Xiao Ye, you are just weaned and want to stand up? You are too overconfident."

"Uncle, we are family. Why argue over a house? We are used to living here and don't want to move. Can you be lenient?" Tuo Ba Ye said.

Seeing Tuo Ba Ye's pitiful look, Tuo Ba Ling was momentarily taken aback.

"Nephew Xiao Ye, are you begging me? Unfortunately, it won't help. Move out today, and I won't make it difficult for you," Tuo Ba Ling said coldly.

Tuo Ba Ye smiled innocently, "Uncle, if you force us, we are no longer family. So, if I am disrespectful, it won't be considered disrespectful to an elder, right?"

"Boy, you are still a baby. Do you really want to challenge me?" Tuo Ba Ling was skeptical.

Tuo Ba Ye tilted his head and said seriously, "Father said Uncle's strength is weak. I think I can defeat you."

"You... you... you are asking for it!" Tuo Ba Ling was furious.

"Father, you don't need to act. I will teach this arrogant nephew a lesson," a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy stepped forward.

He was Tuo Ba Ling's son, Tuo Ba Ji, the most talented young cultivator in the Tuo Ba family. At just over ten years old, he was already a nine-star后天武者 (后天武者).

Tuo Ba Wei's ambition was partly due to Tuo Ba Ji.

In three years, the Immortal Edges Assembly would begin, and Tuo Ba Ji had a good chance of being selected by a cultivation family or sect. Once he became a cultivator, he would rise rapidly.

If Tuo Ba Ji became a cultivator, the Tuo Ba Wei lineage would rise, and even if Tuo Ba Xiong were still around, Tuo Ba Wei would have a good chance of seizing the family head position.

"Ji, teach him a lesson so he won't act so rashly," Tuo Ba Ling said viciously.

Tuo Ba Ji looked at Tuo Ba Ye with disdain and said, "Dealing with him will be easy."
