Earlier in Jiangzhong City, Qiu Ruoxi had many questions she wanted to ask Ao Wuheng, but Ao Wuheng said nothing about it and told her to go back to the southeast to ask Xiahou Yunting herself!

Now that Qiu Ruoxi saw Xiahou Yunting talking about Ye Xunhuan, she couldn't help but ask about the Xiahou family.

Qiu Ruoxi had grown up in the Xiahou family and knew it well. However, after witnessing Ao Wuheng's formidable methods last time in Jiangzhong City, she realized that the Xiahou family she had lived with since childhood was not as simple as she had imagined.

After hearing Qiu Ruoxi's inquiry, Xiahou Yunting did not immediately respond. Instead, he looked her over twice before speaking, "Ruoxi, the reason we didn't tell you earlier was that we wanted you to live a peaceful life!"

"Moreover, the Xiahou family should have faded into dust and calmness over these years, but now it seems that things didn't turn out as we wished, and hoping you could live a peaceful life might be in vain."

Mu Shuyi also sighed slightly, appearing rather helpless.

"Grandfather, what about our Xiahou family...?"

"The Xiahou family is indeed not simple." Xiahou Yunting gently interrupted Qiu Ruoxi, speaking unhurriedly, "You've witnessed Wu Hen's skills, which are even superior to that of Ye kid!"

As he spoke, Xiahou Yunting glanced at Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan was Qiu Ruoxi's husband. Naturally, he knew Ye Xunhuan's background, and in the eyes of others, Ye Xunhuan was definitely an outstanding figure and a leader among the younger generation.

But Xiahou Yunting knew that to Ao Wuheng, this lead figure of the younger generation was insignificant.

"Our Xiahou family is an ancient martial arts clan, and it stands at the pinnacle of such clans in Huaxia. Even compared to those ancient martial sects, our Xiahou family's foundation is not at all inferior. In fact, if a conflict arose, it's uncertain who would win!"

When Xiahou Yunting spoke about the Xiahou family, he seemed like a different person, appearing full of spirit and carrying a majestic aura that scorned all heroes of the world!

"In the realm of ancient martial arts in Huaxia, the Xiahou family holds a significant position. Just a single word from our family, and all major factions have to show us respect." Xiahou Yunting's tone had an unabashed hint of pride.

It makes sense, though, that anyone from such a family would inevitably feel somewhat proud.

"Even though this boy's grandfather's family is impressive, they must still respect our Xiahou family's standing." Xiahou Yunting said heavily, "However, while the Xiahou family is powerful, it has always had a sparse lineage!"

"In my generation, there's only me, and after me, there's only your mother, but your mother is in poor health."

Talking about Qiu Ruoxi's mother, Xiahou Yutong, Xiahou Yunting couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling rather helpless.

"Next, there's only you, such a vast family business ultimately falls on your shoulders. So your grandmother, your parents, and I never mentioned anything about the Xiahou family, as we didn't want you involved in worldly disputes!"

"The martial world is more treacherous than the business world. In business, there might be deceit, but rules are abided; in the martial world, it's all blades and swords, with no rules, only who has the bigger fist!"

"In the martial world, whoever has the harder fists, whoever has the bigger fists, makes the rules."

As he spoke, Xiahou Yunting gazed upon Ye Xunhuan, "This kid, Xunhuan, should understand this deeply!"

To this, Ye Xunhuan nodded in strong agreement.

What Xiahou Yunting said was not wrong at all, it's entirely accurate. In the martial world, everything is determined by power; without power, you're nothing!

They talk sense only to those with strong fists. So, in a way, how can you protect your beloved ones in the world of ancient martial arts if your fists are not strong?

"Our Xiahou family has been in the limelight for too long, now in your generation there are no male heirs, your grandmother and I fear that the Xiahou family might decline. Instead of being targeted by others, it's better to let the Xiahou family withdraw from the martial world, and not meddle in its affairs. This retreat lasted fifty years!" Xiahou Yunting said with a tinge of emotion, "Fifty years passed in the blink of an eye, and the Xiahou family gradually faded from everyone's sight."

The passage of time, the Xiahou family's past glory fifty years ago, Xiahou Yunting's youthful spirit, is bound to evoke some nostalgia in his later years.

Ye Xunhuan could understand this, but he felt that Xiahou Yunting hadn't fully disclosed the truth to Qiu Ruoxi, because when the Evil Lord's calamity struck, the Xiahou family had intervened.

This means that within those fifty years, the Xiahou family once again displayed remarkable strength!

Ye Xunhuan wanted to voice his suspicions, but upon reconsideration, he decided against it.

Since Xiahou Yunting chose not to mention it, he must have his reasons.

"But who would have thought, you married this guy, it's truly a blessing for the Xiahou family!" A look of gratification slowly appeared on Xiahou Yunting's face, "Your father is not up to much, with limited achievements, your mother is also in poor health and not up to much either!"

"And you, your grandmother and I feared you wouldn't be able to face it, so we never mentioned the Xiahou family's past, but fate plays tricks, and you marrying this guy keeps our Xiahou family standing strong on this land!"

"As long as he's alive, he's destined to stand at the pinnacle of this world!"

Even though Ye Xunhuan has always had a thick-skinned nature, he still felt a bit embarrassed by Xiahou Yunting's praise.

"But this kid is also a troublemaker, why go around provoking a national guardian? Couldn't you find someone else to provoke?" Xiahou Yunting said, appearing quite vexed!

Ye Xunhuan was speechless, it wasn't that I provoked them, but they insisted on pestering me.

At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi spoke up, "Grandfather, they sought us out, it doesn't have much to do with Xunhuan, he's not the type to court trouble..."

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words, Ye Xunhuan was immediately filled with warmth, his wife truly understood him.

"No matter who provoked whom, this time won't be easy!" Xiahou Yunting said with a wry smile, "But you needn't worry, now that you two are here, Grandpa will naturally handle all of this for you!"

"Yes, Ruoxi, don't worry either, your grandfather and I will even stake the entire Xiahou family to ensure neither you nor Xunhuan gets hurt!" Mu Shuyi chimed in at this moment.

A warm flow surged through Ye Xunhuan's heart, filled with an indescribable sense of gratitude.

He could see that Xiahou Yunting and Mu Shuyi were sincere in their words and genuinely determined to stand against the national guardians for his sake!

But can the Xiahou family really stand against the national guardians?
