Chapter 406 Competition
Ye Qing'an paused and turned around.
Three middle-aged men were sitting in the flower hall, and all three of her uncles had come.
Ye Qing'an glanced over them indifferently. The three uncles were quite different in appearance and attire. The third uncle, Ye Changming, looked very refined. The fourth uncle, Ye Changye, had a long beard and thick eyebrows. His face was serious and he looked somewhat intimidating. The seventh uncle, Ye Changchun, was the youngest uncle. He looked to be about thirty years old, but he was obviously spoiled and had a bit of arrogance on his face.
The one who spoke just now was her youngest seventh uncle.
Ye Qing'an's gaze swept over them, but he still had a smile on his face. He greeted the three of them with a smile: "Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Seventh Uncle."
Then he turned his gaze to Ye Changchun: "Seventh Uncle, did you call me for something?"
Ye Changchun frowned and stared at Ye Qing'an for a long time: "You're Ye Qing'an? The Ye Qing'an who severely damaged the reputation and prestige of our Ye family a few years ago?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Yes, it's me."
"Heh..." The three people present seemed to have not expected Ye Qing'an to admit it so readily, and their faces froze for a moment.
After a long pause, Ye Changchun turned to the butler and asked, "Why is it her who came to see us?"
Before the steward could speak, Ye Qing'an interrupted, "Uncle, who do you think should come to see you? I presume you uncles have already heard the news of Father's accident. Father's accident, Mother's illness, Brother Zirui is currently in the palace tutoring the Crown Prince, and Brother Feiran is not at home either..."
"So, this huge Ye Mansion doesn't even have a person in charge anymore?" This time, it was Fourth Uncle who spoke.
Ye Qing'an smiled, "Isn't this right here?"
"Actually, regardless of whether Mother is sick or not, or whether Brother Zirui is in the palace, whether you come today or two days earlier, you will only see me. Because..."
"Because before Father left, he entrusted the Ye family to me and asked me to take good care of it. And it wasn't just a verbal entrustment; he also handed over the family head's seal to me."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows, and the steward bowed and stepped forward: "This old servant can testify for Miss that Master did indeed entrust the family seal to Miss before leaving the manor."
The butler showed the family head's seal to everyone: "If you have any questions, you may discuss them with the young lady."
"Absurd!" Ye Changchun slammed his hand on the table, his gaze sharp. "A woman, a woman who is only a teenager, and a woman who caused damage to the reputation of our Ye family a few years ago due to her immoral behavior, now actually holds the family head's seal and wants to be the master of everyone in the Ye family?"
"Ha, has Second Brother gone mad? How could he hand over the family head's seal to such a person?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled lightly: "Then, Seventh Uncle, who do you think should be given the family head's seal? Wouldn't it be best to give it to Seventh Uncle and let him be the head of the family?"
"It can't be you, no matter what." Ye Changchun couldn't accept this no matter what. He wasn't stupid. There were so many people in the flower hall. Even if that was what he thought, he couldn't do it.
Ye Qing'an remained calm and composed: "Is that so? Then I would like to ask my uncles, what are the criteria for selecting the head of the Ye family?"
"Origin."
"talent."
"wrist."
"ability."
Ye Qing'an nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go through them one by one."
"First, let me state my background. My mother was my father's first wife, and I am the legitimate eldest daughter of the Ye family. No one should be able to question my origins."
"And then there's talent..."
Before Ye Qing'an could speak, Ye Changchun scoffed, "Heh, a useless body."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "I must admit that when I was born, I was indeed a useless person who could not cultivate. But I could not cultivate not because my physique was too poor, but because my dantian and meridians were blocked, making it impossible for me to cultivate."
"However, what most of my uncles probably don't know is that I was fortunate enough to meet a good doctor before, and my meridians have already been fully repaired. Moreover, after I returned to the manor some time ago, my father also took me to have my innate physique tested. My innate physique is the Holy Spirit Physique."
"When that incident happened before, you uncles should have been here too, but it's been quite a while, so you uncles have probably forgotten about it."
"So what?" Ye Changming looked at Ye Qing'an: "His innate body is that of a Holy Spirit, but he still needs time to cultivate."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, talent doesn't mean everything. As you just said, the most important thing in determining whether someone can be the head of the Ye family is ability and skill."
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and gently dusted off the dust on her clothes: "In that case, without further ado, let's have a contest."
"A contest?" The three uncles of the Ye family looked at Ye Qing'an with some disbelief, and even the butler couldn't help but glance at them.
“Yes, a competition.” Ye Qing’an smiled. “Didn’t you all say that it’s all about skill and ability, and that talent doesn’t mean anything? I’m sure the three of you think you’re better than me. Since none of us can convince the others, let’s have a competition and see.”
The three looked at each other, and Ye Changming pondered for a moment before raising his head: "How shall we compete?"
Ye Qing'an stroked the embroidered handkerchief in her hand: "After all, we are uncle and niece. The three uncles probably don't want to be remembered for bullying their niece. Fighting and killing each other is not a good thing."
"Well……"
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes: "How about this, we'll have a one-on-one match. I'll attack, and the three uncles will dodge. Ten moves. If all three uncles dodge all ten moves, then the uncles win. If I subdue all three uncles, then I win."
"Heh..." Ye Changye chuckled, "You certainly have a big mouth."
In this situation where one person attacks while the other dodges, the one dodging should have an easier time, no matter what.
Although Ye Qing'an has a high physique, he has only been cultivating for a short time.
They have all cultivated for decades; to think they can subdue them within ten moves is wishful thinking.
"So, do any of you three uncles have any objections?"
"Since you've already said so, it would be rather unpleasant for us to have any objections. Fine, we'll do it your way. If you can subdue us within ten moves, the position of this generation's family head will be yours."
"Okay, let's go to the training ground."
Ye Qing'an stood up, and the steward quickly followed her out of the flower hall.
Seeing that the other gentlemen from the collateral branches had not yet followed, the butler quickly lowered his voice and said, "Miss, isn't this a bit too risky?"
