Chapter 111: Whetstone

In the delivery room, Hua Changxi looked at Hua Hua Wuniang, who had already fainted and whose breathing was extremely weak. Understanding what the He family's so-called "saving the child" was all about, her disgust for the He family reached its peak.

When she checked Hua Hua Wuniang's body, she discovered that someone had used medicine to cause heavy bleeding on her, and she could no longer suppress the spread of her murderous intent.

Just at this time, noisy sounds rang out in the courtyard.

"What kind of thief dares to trespass into the Wu Yi Marquis Prefecture?"

Hua Changxi rode a cloud into the Wu Yi Marquis Prefecture, alarming the guards in the Marquis Prefecture. Seeing the direction Hua Changxi landed, the guards immediately chased after her.

As soon as they entered the courtyard and saw the maids and old women lying on the ground in a faint, the guards immediately drew their swords and stood ready.

Seeing this, Third Master He quickly said, "It's not a thief, it's Concubine Hua's sister who has come. This is none of your business, retreat quickly."

Seeing Third Master He signaling them to leave, the guards looked at the east side room, withdrew their swords, and prepared to go back to report to the Heir.

Third Madam He spoke up at this time: "This courtyard full of maids and old women lying here is too much of an eyesore. You take them away."

The guards looked at Third Master He, and seeing he didn't stop them, prepared to carry the fainted people away.

However, when the guards carried the people to the courtyard gate, they found they couldn't get out; an invisible force was blocking them.

"Third Master!"

The guards' expressions changed greatly, and they looked at Third Master He one after another.

Third Master He frowned and walked over quickly. He was a cultivator, and as soon as he reached out, he touched the spiritual energy shield covering the courtyard gate, and his eyelids jumped immediately.

It was Hua Changxi; she wouldn't let the people in the courtyard leave.

Third Master He was somewhat annoyed by Hua Changxi's behavior. This was the Wu Yi Marquis Prefecture, not the Hua family; how could she set up a spiritual energy shield at will and restrict others from entering and exiting.

Knowing that if spiritual power was strong enough, one could break the spiritual energy shield, Third Master He used all his strength to attack the spiritual energy shield.

However, the spiritual energy shield had no reaction.

Third Master He's attack was like a splash of water into a river, not causing the slightest ripple.

Seeing this, Third Master He's heart shook.

Relying on the cultivation resources provided by the Marquis Prefecture and the Martial Academy, he was now a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, yet he hadn't been able to shake Hua Changxi's spiritual energy shield in the slightest.

What exactly was Hua Changxi's cultivation level?

Third Master He thought again of the look Hua Changxi had given him before she entered the delivery room; it had been as sharp as an arrow shot at him. Thinking of it now, a chill still crept up his back.

Third Master He's expression became solemn. If Concubine Hua really died, judging from the attitude Hua Changxi displayed, he and the Hua family would have to form a deadly feud.

If it were before, he certainly wouldn't have put a small Hua family in his eyes, but now the situation was changing drastically, cultivators were rising strongly, and it was hard to say how the future would develop.

The Hua family had produced a Hua Changxin, the Hua Changxi he saw today was also so strong, and the younger generation of the Hua family had also produced several cultivators. This was a force that could not be underestimated.

This should have been his help, but now it was going to become an enemy. Third Master He was also very angry in his heart, and he turned his head to look coldly at Third Madam He.

Concubine Hua was just a concubine who gave birth to a child, yet this jealous woman couldn't tolerate her. If it weren't for her messing around, why would she have brought such trouble.

Third Madam He, Madam Shen, was able to marry into the Wu Yi Marquis Prefecture, so her maiden family also had some power. Except for the initial panic when Hua Changxi attacked strongly, she had calmed down at this moment.

She was Third Master He's legal wife, a wife married into the door by the Wu Yi Marquis Prefecture with eight sedan chairs. Even if Concubine Hua died today, the Hua family couldn't do anything to her.

Even for the sake of maintaining the face of the Marquis Prefecture, the He family would not allow the maiden family of a concubine to humiliate her, the legal wife.

However, Third Master He's cold eyes still made Third Madam He feel a little scared. She was not afraid of fighting with Concubine Hua; Concubine Hua's family background was not good, and she couldn't fight her, but she was afraid of completely losing her husband's heart.

In the delivery room, Hua Changxi, who was anxious to save Hua Hua Wuniang, had no time to care about Third Master He and the others. After setting up the spiritual energy shield to prevent people in the courtyard from leaving, she ignored them and focused on rescuing Hua Hua Wuniang, whose life was hanging by a thread.

"Hua Wuniang~"

Steward Kong was capable. In less than an hour, he invited Concubine Hua's maiden family over.

Hearing the anxious shouts and chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, Third Master He's expression relaxed.

As a Martial Academy instructor, he knew that young people were relatively impulsive, easily resorting to force if things didn't go their way, and acting without regard for consequences. It was better to reason with the elders.

With elders in charge, things wouldn't develop to the point of being unmanageable.

"Hua Wuniang!"

The first to rush into the courtyard was Fourth Aunt Hua, followed by Old Madam Hua, Madam Yao, and Second Aunt Hua. Further behind were the younger generation of the Hua family; all the Hua family members who were at home had come.

Even Fourth Young Master Hua, Hua Qiniang Hua, and Hua Shierniang Hua, who were cultivating in the Count Prefecture, heard about this when Steward Kong came to the Count Prefecture, and they followed.

Looking at so many Hua family members coming in a mighty force, Third Master He's eyelids jumped.

In his eyes, these people were all here to add to the chaos, until he saw the Hua Tai couple and the Dingyuan Count Prefecture's Grand Steward Hua Zhong, who could be in charge, at the end of the team, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Third Master, where is my Hua Wuniang? Didn't you say her pregnancy was very stable, so how could she have a difficult labor?"

Fourth Aunt Hua grabbed Third Master He's arm as soon as she arrived.

Seeing Third Master He frowning from being pulled by Fourth Aunt Hua, Madam Zhong hurried forward to pull Fourth Aunt Hua away: "Now is not the time to ask these things, let's check Hua Wuniang's situation first."

"Third Master, how is Hua Wuniang?"

Third Master He glanced at the delivery room: "Ninth Lady has come. As soon as she came, she drove everyone out. I don't know what the situation is now."

Hearing this, Fourth Aunt Hua ran into the delivery room immediately, Madam Yao followed closely, and Hua Qiniang Hua and Hua Shierniang Hua also walked in without thinking.

Old Madam Hua took a few steps forward, but finally stopped. She looked at the delivery room with red eyes and an anxious expression, as if she didn't dare to go in.

Seeing the old lady like this, Second Aunt Hua accompanied her and didn't go in either.

Sixth Young Master Hua stood with Fourth Young Master Hua, Eighth Young Master Hua, and Thirteenth Young Master Hua, and asked anxiously: "Why can't we hear Fifth Sister's voice? Don't women scream when giving birth? Why is there no sound from Fifth Sister?"

Hearing this, Madam Zhong looked at Hua Tai and Grand Steward Hua with a solemn expression.

Hua Tai frowned and walked to Third Master He, asking in a low voice: "Third Master, what exactly is going on?"

Third Master He naturally wouldn't say that Third Madam He had done something, but only said: "Concubine Hua accidentally fell while taking a walk yesterday."

"Yesterday!"

Sixth Young Master Hua had sharp ears. Hearing Third Master He's words, he immediately shouted: "My Fifth Sister fell yesterday, then hasn't she been giving birth for a whole night? Why didn't you notify us during this period?"

Third Master He was somewhat displeased with Sixth Young Master Hua's attitude, but he explained a sentence: "I really didn't expect Hua Wuniang to have a difficult labor. I wanted to wait until she gave birth to the child and then report the good news to everyone directly."

Sixth Young Master Hua didn't believe this: "I think you didn't intend to notify us at all. If my Fifth Sister had an accident, without us here, it would be just right for you to decide her life and death."

"Sixth Young Master!"

Hua Tai scolded Sixth Young Master Hua: "How could Third Master watch Hua Wuniang have an accident? Hua Wuniang is still pregnant with the child he has been looking forward to for a long time. You don't know the process, don't talk nonsense."

Old Master Hua didn't come, and without him watching, Sixth Young Master Hua didn't intend to give Hua Tai face. He looked angrily at Third Master He: "Third Master He, it's fine if my Fifth Sister is okay. If she has an accident, we won't be finished with you."

Hearing this, Third Master He and Hua Tai frowned together.

Seeing this, Madam Zhong hurriedly interjected: "Stop arguing, be careful Hua Wuniang hears you and it affects her labor. I'll go in and check on Hua Wuniang now, everyone don't be anxious." Saying this, she also stepped into the delivery room.

Next, everyone in the courtyard looked at the delivery room eagerly.

Seeing that everyone's attention was in the delivery room, Third Madam He immediately gave a look to the two maids beside her. Seeing this, the maids helped up a fainted old woman and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave.

However, they still couldn't get out; the invisible force covering the courtyard gate had not been withdrawn.

Seeing this, Third Madam He's expression tightened. Looking at the situation, the Hua family didn't intend to let it go easily this time.

Thinking of her father-in-law, the Wu Yi Marquis, who cared most about face, Third Madam He's expression relaxed slightly.

She was Third Master He's legal wife, and her father-in-law would not allow the family of a concubine to trample on her.

In the delivery room, Hua Changxi was trying her best to save Hua Hua Wuniang. Fourth Aunt Hua and the others came in, but she had no time to deal with them. She directly threw a spiritual energy shield over, restricting them to the corner so as not to affect her.

Looking at Hua Hua Wuniang, who was covered in silver needles, and the bedding on the bed soaked in blood, Fourth Aunt Hua and the others covered their mouths tightly, not letting themselves cry out.

Madam Zhong, who came in later, saw Hua Hua Wuniang's situation, and her expression was also a bit ugly. She somewhat regretted coming in.

I don't know how long it took, a "wa" sound of a child crying broke the silence of the delivery room and the small courtyard.

Hearing this cry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Hua Changxi withdrew the spiritual energy shield from Fourth Aunt Hua and the others, let them take the child away, and asked Hua Qiniang Hua to boil medicine. She had to continue to apply needles to Hua Hua Wuniang to ensure she would not have heavy bleeding again.

"Hua Shierniang, come here."

Hua Changxi called Hua Shierniang to her side: "Fifth Sister has suffered such a great crime, go ask Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, and Grandfather and Sun Pozi what their plans are?"

Hua Shierniang Hua: "Grandfather didn't come, and Fourth Uncle and the others are on duty."

Hearing that Old Master Hua didn't come, Hua Changxi sneered: "Let Sixth Brother and the others go call them. Fifth Sister almost died. The Marquis Prefecture must give our family an explanation. How can they not be here?"

Hua Shierniang Hua was also frightened by Hua Hua Wuniang's appearance, nodded, and turned to find Sixth Young Master Hua and the others.

Seeing that the child was born safely and Concubine Hua was out of danger, Third Master He thought that after apologizing, the matter would pass. Who would have thought that the Hua family would linger in the small courtyard, with no intention of leaving at all, and Sixth Young Master Hua and the others actually went to call Hua Mingcheng and the others who were still on duty.

Third Master He didn't want to cause more trouble and could only look at Hua Tai.

Hua Tai was helpless and looked at Madam Zhong.

Seeing this, Madam Zhong could only bite the bullet and walk to Old Madam Hua's side: "Hua Wuniang is fine here, the Marquis Prefecture will take good care of her. Let's go back first, staying here will only add trouble."

Hua Qiniang Hua heard this, and the anger suppressed in her heart erupted: "Sun Pozi Zhong, didn't you see Fifth Sister's appearance just now? Did the Marquis Prefecture take good care of her?"

"You want us to leave now, is it to let my sister fall into loneliness and helplessness again, and let her die again?"

Madam Zhong was somewhat annoyed: "I was also kind..."

"Kind?"

Hua Qiniang Hua interrupted her directly: "It was you who said the Marquis Prefecture was a blessed nest and let my Fifth Sister come to be a concubine for Third Master He. But is this a blessed nest? This is clearly a tiger's den that eats people without spitting out bones."

"What kind of heart do you have? Do you think we are all fools and don't know? You are still here talking nonsense about kindness. If this is really a blessed nest, why don't you let your own granddaughter come to be a concubine?"

"Enough!"

Hua Tai shouted, looking at Old Madam Hua: "We didn't force you back then, it was you who volunteered. How did it become our fault now?"

Hearing this, Old Madam Hua hurriedly glared at Hua Qiniang Hua, telling her not to speak anymore.

Hua Qiniang Hua didn't listen to Old Madam Hua this time, looking coldly at Hua Tai: "You didn't force us openly, you just used the power in the clan to constantly pressure us. It seemed you gave us a choice, but in fact, there was none at all, because you expected that our family wouldn't dare to resist the clan."

Hearing this, Hua Tai was very angry. Just as he was about to rebuke Hua Qiniang Hua, he heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

Then, he saw First Young Master He leading a group of guards appearing at the courtyard gate. They wanted to enter the courtyard but were blocked outside by the spiritual energy shield.

"Third Uncle, what's going on?"

Third Master He walked to the courtyard gate: "Concubine Hua had a difficult labor, and the Hua family seems to want to hold me accountable."

First Young Master He widened his eyes: "The maiden family of a concubine actually dares to be so arrogant, daring to come to the Wu Yi Marquis Prefecture to make trouble. Do they still have the Marquis Prefecture in their eyes?"

Third Master He also felt very ashamed and blamed himself: "Hua Jiuniang's cultivation is above mine, I can't break this spiritual energy shield."

Hearing this, First Young Master He immediately gathered spiritual energy and attacked the spiritual energy shield.

The spiritual energy shield had no reaction.

Seeing this, Third Master He's heart kept falling. First Young Master's cultivation talent was good, and his cultivation was higher than his. He advanced to the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm last month, yet he still couldn't break Hua Changxi's spiritual energy shield!

"What are you doing?"

Sixth Young Master Hua brought Fourth Uncle Hua to the Marquis Prefecture and saw a group of people surrounding the small courtyard, so he rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing Sixth Young Master Hua, First Young Master He knew he was from the Hua family and attacked him without a word.

Seeing this, Sixth Young Master Hua couldn't dodge and could only fight back head-on.

In an instant, the two fought.

"Sixth Young Master is also a cultivator?"

Looking at Sixth Young Master Hua, who was evenly matched with First Young Master He, Grand Steward Hua of the Count Prefecture, who had been silent, spoke, looking at Hua Tai in surprise.

Hua Tai was also full of surprise. He didn't know at all that Sixth Young Master Hua was also a cultivator.

The cultivators registered in the Hua Bin family were only First Young Master Hua, Tenth Lady Hua, Fourth Young Master Hua, Hua Shierniang Hua, Hua Qiniang Hua, and Eleventh Young Master Hua, six people.

Originally, Steward Kong came to inform them that Ninth Lady Hua was a cultivator, which was surprising enough. I didn't expect Sixth Young Master Hua to be a cultivator too.

Seeing that the Hua family had one more cultivator, Third Master He's temples throbbed with pain.

The spiritual veins shaped by the Creation Pill were comparable to innate spiritual veins. Sixth Young Master Hua had a single fire spiritual root, practiced the "Burning Flame Art," which was also a top-grade technique, and was not short of pills or spiritual stones. Now he was a late-stage Qi Sea Realm cultivator.

Although his cultivation was equivalent to First Young Master He's, he lacked combat experience and was suppressed and beaten by First Young Master He from time to time.

Hua Changxi didn't know when she walked out of the delivery room. Looking at the two fighting, she smiled lightly: "Sixth Brother, win against this person, and I will give you a storage ring."

Hearing this, Sixth Young Master Hua's expression shook: "Really?!"

Next, Sixth Young Master Hua seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, using all his strength to attack First Young Master He.

At first, First Young Master He could handle it with ease, but slowly he was somewhat unable to keep up, while Sixth Young Master Hua became more and more fierce in the fight.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi's mouth curled up. If the He family took Fifth Sister as a fertility tool, then she would let the He family's eldest grandson be a whetstone for her Sixth Brother. ===== CHAPTER 112 =====
