The old woman feared failure. Holding the baby girl in her arms, suddenly a short sword appeared in her hand, and she struck Mrs. Yao with force.
Mrs. Yaoâs attention was on her daughter when the old woman suddenly attacked, amidst the cries of many people!
She took a step back and then kicked at the old womanâs leg.
At that moment, she forgot that she wasnât someone who knew martial arts; it was a normal reaction from a mother!
Mrs. Yao did not know how much force she used in that kick, but the sword in the womanâs hand also moved forward a step!
It didnât seem like the old woman was just an ordinary person who didnât know martial arts!
All the workers in the house, whether born into the family or bought, had been vetted!
This old woman wasnât without family; her family also worked there!
That the old woman knew martial arts was something nobody would believe, as her family worked in the military!
The Ye Family had an organized family army, a legacy from a noble clan of military generals.
The attendants were mostly family born, and if the old woman had changed, it could only be said she changed!
The kick Mrs. Yao delivered, she did not know how powerful it was, but a martial artist old woman was affected by the kick. So sudden, her leg was injured, and her body became unstable!
She fell to the ground but quickly reacted, as the Old General, General, and young men rushed over; she knew she had to run away, not be caught!
Could she run? Of course not!
She was quickly apprehended!
"Mother is amazing!"
Ye Zihan praised his mother!
With her daughter recovered, Mrs. Yao kissed her daughterâs face!
"Grandfather was awesome to quickly catch the envoy; the old woman was his person!"
With the Old Generalâs command, regardless of who the visitor was, he was captured!
The old woman was already captured, preventing her from taking poison.
The General and Mrs. Yao, along with the three teenagers, disregarded the many guests present and took the baby girl back to the room!
Something happened today, and they didnât know if there were other spies among the people!
The General sent some military elites here to guard!
The familyâs feelings were complex, with a surpriseâit turned out they were not the only ones hearing the baby girlâs heart sounds!
"Grandfather, Father, Mother, two uncles, three brothers, youâve all taken the Power Pill, thus you have strength now to lift hundreds of pounds. This strength is not just your martial strength. Itâs a pity Iâm too small. If only I could teach you the Cultivation Spell!"
Family... Power Pill? Cultivation Spell?
What was this?
When they discovered their bodies had more strength than before, they were pleasantly surprised, yet didnât know the reason!
Upon hearing the babyâs heartâs voice, they realized it was because they had taken the Power Pill!
Except Mrs. Yao, these people were military generals, and several teenagers were already training in martial arts!
A fragile woman like Mrs. Yao, faced with her daughterâs danger, also wondered if she could cultivate a spell or technique, could she then protect her daughter?
They wished the baby girl could say a bit more, even guide through her words!
It was a pity the baby was asleep, they learned some information, key points unclear, making their hearts itch for more.
Ye Zihan, in an infantâs body, used her heartâs voice and strength, exhausting her body!
Once sensing no danger, she fell asleep!
Mrs. Yao bound her daughter to herself, refusing to let the daughter out of her sight!
Regarding the previously negligent maid, she would deal with her later!
The Old General and General, after escorting away the guests, returned, with the other two sons, they conspired together!
As for the three teenagers, they stayed by their motherâs side, escorting the female guests, the male guests, and not leaving their sisterâs side!
They now became their sisterâs protectors!
Mrs. Yao instructed the steward, once the banquet was settled, to gather everyone!
To identify anyone within as a spy.
Interrogate that old woman, while also apprehending all her family members!
Those captured were bewildered!
Upon learning the old woman was caught trying to abduct the young lady, they could not believe it!
The interrogation of the old woman used harsh methods, but the General and Old General personally questioning failed to obtain the truth!
The envoy was also stubborn, prepared to die; even if the plan failed, they wouldnât give up their accomplices!
The old woman was just as obstinate!
Mrs. Yao, learning that the interrogation yielded nothing, felt helpless!
Ye Zihan overheard her parents speaking in the room.
"Father, Mother, I have a way to make them speak the truth!"
The couple suddenly heard their daughterâs heartâs voice and looked at the just-awakened daughter!
"There is a bottle here; after consumption, it makes people speak the truth, controlling their consciousness to follow orders!"
As she spoke, a bottle of medicine floated before the couple, unsupported by any visible object, yet it didnât fall!
Ye Zihan realized control over space allowed items like Secret Manuals and Pills to emerge, pondering that if her family could cultivate immortality, they would gain greater strength and energy, thus avoiding easy death!
Once cultivation reached a certain level, ordinary peopleâs bravery could not withstand a spell!
The General took the bottle, opened it. The couple, looking at the bottle, blessed by the Drug Crownâs thoughts, anticipated the bottle controlling the other, ensuring truthfulness, and eventually making them useful!
The General thought quickly, realizing if they could plant spies at their household, they could do the same in their enemyâs country!
Controlled was that envoy?
The General took the bottle and walked off, then went to interrogate the old woman, learning she was killed and that this old woman was impersonated by a fake!
It turned out she wore a human skin mask on her face!
Controlling the old woman, they revealed more spies.
The old woman disclosed everything she knew; indeed, foreign spies were hidden within their military, even among the powerful generals!
Her subordinate had 1,000 soldiers, also working under his father!
Their soldiers had been replaced by enemies!
The General was furious, then interrogated the envoy, controlling his spirit and revealing all they knew!
It turned out the enemy country had preparations to attack, and a group was secretly posing as bandits in various parts of the Frontier City, planning to invade soon.
Among their vile plans, was poisoning the Old General to death within a year, along with their family, and many other schemes!
The enemy was so malicious to poison their entire family!
The General, enraged, immediately saw his father and gathered his two brothers to conspire!
Capturing all those soldiers and generals hidden, killing that general!
The Old General never expected spies were already among them!
Feeling extremely relieved, they found how to know such things?
The General didnât disclose to the two brothers, only telling the father!
Among so many family members, only the father and a few sons, the couple could hear the daughterâs heartâs voice, they had to keep the daughterâs secret!
As for the two brothers, having taken the Power Pill, and their increased strength, how was strength enhanced?
They discussed it, but father and son didnât tell the brothers about the daughterâs gift!
Letting them know the little girl possessed other Pills and Secret Manuals!
Their hearts itched, yet they couldnât just ask!
Hoping after settling things, the little girl might quickly gift them Pills and Secret Manuals!
The Old General wanted to see his granddaughter every day, valuing her highly!
No matter how late at night, even when the baby was asleep, he wanted his son to carry the sleeping grandchild out for a look!
He even wanted to know if, that day, the son and daughter-in-law heard other heart sounds from the granddaughter.
Ye Zihan learned some hidden military spies were discovered, the Capital had not yet sent people, and this period the home was safe!
The grandfather was on guard, eliminating bandits daily!
Thus, she wasnât in a rush to bring out Pills for family practice!
Controlling Pills and Secret Manuals from space required spiritual power, which was exhausting!
This infantâs body was too small and weak, needing time to enhance its power!
In the following days, she ate and slept, immersed in cultivation, worrying the family, as they hadnât heard the girlâs heart sound for several days!
