Chapter 5 - Shocking martial arts!

Appearing before everyone's eyes was Xia Huaiwu, the fifth young master of the Xia family, a young talent known for his martial arts. Seeing Xia Huaiwu's attack directed at Xia Zhuozhuo, Xia Liu stepped forward and tried to stop him. "Fifth brother, show mercy!" Xia Liu shouted. However, Xia Huaiwu was full of anger and vowed to severely punish the murderer who dared to hurt Mrs. Xia. He didn't listen to Xia Liu's dissuasion. He knocked Xia Liu away with a light bump of his shoulder, and rushed towards Xia Zhuozhuo again with a whistling palm wind. Xia Liu was terrified, thinking that Xia Zhuozhuo was about to die under his palm. He didn't dare to look directly at the terrible scene and subconsciously closed his eyes. There was a crisp sound of "click", and it seemed that there was a sound of broken bones. It's over... Has Xia Zhuozhuo's skull been cracked? Xiaoqi, their Xiaoqi! Xia Liu was so grief-stricken that he opened his eyes with tears in his eyes, but was surprised to find that the injured person was not Xia Zhuozhuo, but Xia Huaiwu. He was pinned to the ground by Xia Zhuozhuo with one hand, unable to move, with a look of pain on his face. The housekeeper on the side was already stunned and stood there. Although Xia Liu did not see what happened, the housekeeper's expression said it all. Miss Seven was so fast that the naked eye could only catch a trace of her afterimage. Her attack was as fast as lightning, as accurate as a magic arrow, and as fierce as a tiger. She subdued the Fifth Young Master firmly in one move. What a fast speed, what amazing martial arts! Although the housekeeper did not understand martial arts, he could see that Miss Seven's kung fu was definitely better than the Fifth Young Master. How could this be possible? The Fifth Young Master was a member of the Ancient Martial Arts Association! Those who could enter the Ancient Martial Arts Association were all extraordinary masters who could fight ten people with one. Could it be that this Miss Seven really came from the countryside? The housekeeper was full of doubts. At this time, Xia Liu had recovered from his shock and rushed over to check on Xia Zhuozhuo. "Xiao Qi, are you okay?" he asked with concern. Xia Zhuozhuo shook her head expressionlessly. Although Xia Huaiwu, who attacked her, was highly skilled in martial arts, he was like an ant in front of her and could not hurt her at all. Xia Huaiwu endured the pain in his arm and stared at Xia Liu. "You... are you sure? Who is that person? Why do you want to protect a stranger? Are you possessed by a ghost?" He asked incoherently. Seeing that Xia Zhuozhuo was indeed fine, Xia Liu explained to Xia Huaiwu with confidence: "Fifth brother, this is Zhuozhuo, our seventh sister! She is not harming mom, but giving her acupuncture to treat her illness." Xia Huaiwu was stunned when he heard this and turned his head away in disbelief. However, from his angle, he could only see Xia Zhuozhuo's slender and powerful arms. "You... are you a sister?" he asked hesitantly. Xia Zhuozhuo had guessed Xia Huaiwu's identity. Since it was a misunderstanding, she released the hand that was restraining Xia Huaiwu, snorted coldly, turned around and returned to Mrs. Xia's bedside again, and continued to treat her with acupuncture. Her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened just now. Xia Huaiwu was free, and then he barely stood up from the ground. Xia Liu looked at Xia Zhuozhuo, and then at the pale Xia Huaiwu, and couldn't help asking: "Fifth brother, are you okay?" "Not good! Very bad!" Xia Huaiwu gritted his teeth and said. His right arm was dislocated, and the lower half of his arm could not be used at all. The slightest movement was a piercing pain. However, his face did not allow him to admit that he was injured. He was a member of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, how could he be defeated by his little seventh sister? He just underestimated the enemy just now, so he was exploited. After convincing his self-esteem, Xia Huaiwu said with a stiff face: "I'm fine!" Xia Liu didn't doubt him and said with a sigh: "It's good that you're fine. You almost hurt Xiao Qi just now. Be careful next time." Xia Huaiwu couldn't help but look at Xia Zhuozhu again. She was dressed like a country girl, and the coat she wore was tattered and full of patches. And she exuded a cold aura. Just looking at her, it felt like the air around her had dropped several degrees. Although he couldn't see Xia Zhuozhu's appearance from this angle, the Xiao Qimei in his memory was a sweet, cute, and soft little girl. But the woman standing by her mother's bed now was fierce and oppressive, and there was no trace of Xiao Qimei at all. "How do I know she is Xiao Qi... But are you really sure she is our biological sister?" Xia Huaiwu asked doubtfully. "I have confirmed it, there is no way I can be wrong." Xia Liu said firmly. After some explanations, and with the jade pendant as evidence, Xia Huaiwu finally believed it a little. He endured the pain and asked why Mrs. Xia suddenly fainted. When this topic was mentioned, Xia Liu gritted his teeth: "It's because of Xia Liuli!" "Seventh sister? What happened to her?" Xia Huaiwu asked in surprise. "You still call her the seventh sister? Our seventh sister is only Zhuozhuo! Xia Liuli has nothing to do with our Xia family in the future!" Xia Liu said angrily. Among the six brothers of the Xia family, except Xia Liu, everyone else has a close relationship with Xia Liuli. Hearing Xia Liu say this, Xia Huaiwu subconsciously thought it was Xia Liu's problem. "Xia Liu, why has your temper become so weird? No matter what conflicts have occurred between you, you can't say that to her. After all, she also grew up under our watch..." Xia Huaiwu said unhappily. "Heh!" Xia Liu laughed in anger, "You think she's a good person just because you think she's a good person? People like this won't cry until they see the coffin, no matter how you explain it, it's useless!" So he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Xia Huaiwu, and directly threw out one of the two copies of the letter of severance. "Read it yourself!" Xia Liu said unhappily. Xia Huaiwu took the letter of severance suspiciously, and after reading the contents clearly, his black eyes suddenly widened. "This is... Liuli's handwriting." He said in surprise. It was written clearly in black and white: Xia Liuli has no relationship with their Xia family from now on, and the adoption agreement is terminated. What on earth is going on? After being surprised, Xia Huaiwu suddenly had a guess in his mind. He grabbed Xia Liu's collar with his uninjured left hand and stared at Xia Liu's eyes unhappily. "Is it because Zhuozhuo is back that you want Liuli to leave our home?" he questioned. "Even if our Xia family is in decline, will Liuli still have to eat less?" "After all, Liuli grew up under our care. How could you do this?" Xia Huaiwu continued. Xia Liu was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes: "I told you long ago that all the brothers except me are blind!" Xia Huaiwu frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Bring Liuli back to me quickly and apologize to her! Otherwise, don't blame me for hitting you!" Xia Liu's face was extremely ugly. He pushed Xia Huaiwu away and said with regret: "Are you going to hit me, your own brother, for an outsider? What kind of medicine did Xia Liuli give you? You still can't see her true face?" Xia Huaiwu was speechless by Xia Liu's question. He did always treat Xia Liuli as his own sister and never doubted her sincerity. However, now this letter of breaking off the relationship is like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard. After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "What's going on? Why did Liuli leave our family?" Xia Liu sighed and told Xia Huaiwu everything that happened. It turned out that Xia Liuli had always been jealous of Xia Zhuozhuo's status in the Xia family, so she secretly colluded with outsiders to frame Xia Zhuozhuo. However, her conspiracy was discovered by Xia Zhuozhuo and successfully resolved. Seeing that her plan was exposed, Xia Liuli simply went all out and forged a letter of severance to completely leave the Xia family. Xia Huaiwu was shocked after hearing this. He never expected that his beloved sister would do such a thing. He was silent for a moment and then said, "I will go to Liuli to ask for clarification. If she really did such a thing, I will never condone her!" Xia Liu nodded and said, "I hope you can keep your word, Fifth Brother." After the two brothers were silent for a moment, Xia Huaiwu finally couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Sixth Brother, Zhuozhuo... is she really our biological sister?" Xia Liu nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course! I went to the countryside to confirm it myself, and we have the jade pendant as proof!" Xia Huaiwu was completely relieved after hearing this. He thought to himself: It seems that I have to get to know this Seventh Sister well in the future. She is not simple! At the same time, on the other side of the room, Xia Zhuozhuo was still treating Mrs. Xia with acupuncture. She looked focused and serious, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her. And Mrs. Xia's complexion gradually improved under her treatment... Didn't you wonder why Mom suddenly fainted just now? Listen to me! The document of severing family ties was not written by me forcing her, but she actually forced us to sign it. The family was in trouble, and she was afraid that we would drag her down and marry into the Du family, so she wrote this severance letter to draw a clear line between us. My mother fainted because she was angry about her actions!
