"So Young Master Ye knew that these powerful families in Haicheng were targeting the Ye family. To put it bluntly, Young Master Ye enjoyed the Ye family's wealth for over a decade, but in the end, he abandoned them. In this respect, Young Master Ye is no different from the others. Old Master Ye, you've really failed, raising such a bunch of descendants."
The following words were full of irony.
Old Master Ye's face darkened. Indeed, he was a complete failure, raising such a bunch of bastards.
They received a lot of education when they were young, but this is how they raised such a group of descendants.
Even his grandson coveted the wealth he had built.
It's not that he can't give it, but they're too greedy.
They all wanted to take control of the Ye family and dominate everything.
For the sake of their own interests, they show no regard for unity whatsoever.
They can turn against each other in an instant.
Ye Chuwen felt uneasy upon hearing Sheng Qian's words.
Because Sheng Qian is right.
Although he didn't choose his birth, he has enjoyed the benefits provided by the Ye family for more than ten or twenty years, yet he refuses to contribute anything.
Where in the world can you find such enjoyment that requires no reward?
"I wonder what Grandpa wants me to do?"
Ye Chu took a deep breath and finally asked the question.
These words prove that he had already figured it out.
It's just an attempt to escape.
"It's very simple. Take my place and cooperate with Qian. From now on, Qian will be a true partner of the Ye family. As long as you are alive, you cannot betray her easily."
Old Master Ye had great faith in Sheng Qian.
This was Ye Chuwen's first reaction.
He looked at Sheng Qian, wanting to confirm what kind of magic this woman possessed that made his grandfather trust her so much.
You can't tell Sheng Qian's strength just by looking at her.
It's understandable that he might have doubts.
Sheng Qian also knew that to persuade someone, one needed certain personal qualities to convince them.
"With Young Master Ye taking over Old Master Ye's position, we'll have many opportunities to meet in the coming period. I hope we can cooperate smoothly. At the same time, I hope that once Young Master Ye has made his decision, he won't have any thoughts of backing down. Once you're in, there's no turning back, unless Young Master Ye wants to die."
As Sheng Qian finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
A hint of wickedness could be seen on her face.
Ye Chu asked, taken aback, then smiled slightly, "Now that I've made my choice, I won't back down."
He also knew that once a choice was made, there was no turning back.
Unless he can ensure that his path is unobstructed, by then it will have proven that he has stabilized the Ye family and returned to the path of teaching and educating people.
“This path won’t be easy. Since you’ve agreed, start training with Song Wei and the others from today.” Old Master Ye still felt his grandson was too weak.
"Grandpa, how about we hold off for today? I'd like to have a talk with Miss Sheng."
He wanted to test Sheng Qian's abilities.
Conversely, Sheng Qian also wanted to test the capabilities of this future collaborator; if he lacked strength, the collaboration would be a burden.
Old Master Ye glanced at the two of them, then, after observing something, said to Sheng Qian, "My grandson has some skill in swordsmanship..."
"May I have the honor of asking Third Young Master for guidance on swordsmanship?" Sheng Qian was not picky at all.
Although she wasn't familiar with swordsmanship, she could give it a try.
Ye Chu was taken aback. "You also know swordsmanship?"
"If you're talking about fencing, I have some knowledge of it. But if we're talking about traditional swordsmanship, I also know a little bit about it." This meant that she was willing to accompany Ye Chuwen no matter what kind of sword he chose.
“Perfect timing, there’s a kendo dojo not far behind, let’s go there now,” Elder Ye stood up and immediately led the way out.
Ye Chu gestured for Sheng Qian to follow, then followed behind her.
The kendo dojo was opened by the Ye family, which was a training ground specifically for their descendants. Ironically, it became a place that Ye Chuwen often visited.
He was truly obsessed with swordsmanship and also enjoyed collecting all kinds of swords.
He has collections of both ancient and modern items.
This shows his obsession with swords.
There are people training at the fencing hall, but there are very few people.
In this day and age, it's good enough to have enough to eat; most people wouldn't come to a place like this to waste their time.
Only a family like theirs would have the leisure and ability to do so.
Sheng Qian followed them in and saw many fencing venues, including Western fencing and traditional Chinese swordplay stages.
The four walls were covered with swords that had been collected.
They have all kinds of swords.
There were even long knives and spears.
If it weren't for the sword-fighting stage, you'd think it was a museum showcasing kendo artifacts.
Creating a place like this must have cost a lot of money.
Behind it is a hollow courtyard, and the martial arts platform is half a person high, just like the sword-dancing platform of ancient times.
Green bamboo is planted all around.
Dressed in an antique style.
When Ye Chuwen came in with a beautiful woman, the sword enthusiasts gathered around, but there were only about ten people in total; the rest were their bodyguards.
He Weiguo leaned closer to Sheng Qian with some concern, "Should I help you? I've wielded a broadsword before."
"No need. Young Master Ye wants to see my abilities, not yours. Besides, I also want to see just how capable this Young Master Ye really is." Sheng Qian raised her hand to refuse He Weiguo's offer to stand in for her.
