In a side room of Ouyang Family, a few old men were sitting together and discussing something.    

"It should be true." One of the old men with white hair and beard said, "There are already people guarding the place where Ouyang Tian lives. No one is allowed to enter casually, probably because they are afraid that we will know the details. Or perhaps they are afraid of revenge from their enemies. "    

"Humph, this Ouyang Tian is not good at doing things, but he is good at ruining things! Back then, I didn't agree to let him take over the position of the family head, but now it's good. Not only did I bring great trouble to the family, but he also doesn't put us in his eyes. At the critical moment, I fell sick again. Who will clean up this mess now?" Another old man said in dissatisfaction.    

"Enough, what's the point of saying this now? Back then, Ouyang Tian was very polite to us. Besides, his talent was not bad, that's why we supported him. Who would have thought that the situation would turn out like this?"    

"Let's discuss what we should do next."    

"That's right. The Blood-Red Mercenary Regiment has never stopped their revenge on our family. Moreover, the more they acted, the more intense it became. Recently, they seemed to have been entangled with another mercenary group. Their strength has increased. Now Ouyang Tian is sick. Who will support the overall situation? "    

"Even if he didn't fall ill, it's useless. This incident was caused by that useless son of his. He was also severely injured because of this, causing his strength to regress. He didn't do anything to that Blood-Red Mercenary Regiment."    

"This matter has to be resolved. Now that Ouyang Tian is guarding against us, there's nothing we can do about it."    

"Who said there's nothing we can do about it? Ouyang Tian is guarding against us. We can look for someone else!"    

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They looked at the elder who spoke. He was one of the senior elders and the strongest amongst them. He was the Great Elder.    

When the elder saw everyone looking at him, he said unhurriedly, "Ouyang Tian isn't powerful enough, and he has also caused such a huge trouble for our family. For the sake of our family's future, we have to do something."    

"What do you mean?"    

"Ouyang Tian is not powerful enough, and his son is also a trash. Obviously, we can't count on him. However, he still has a younger brother, and he is also a direct descendant of the family, right?" The old man said.    

"You mean Ouyang Zhong?" Someone said.    

"That's right, it's him! I think it's necessary to help him rise at this time. With him at the front and our support from behind, it's not impossible to solve the family's current predicament!" The Great Elder said.    

Hearing his words, some people's eyes lit up, while others seemed to be lost in thought. Of course, they knew about this Ouyang Zhong. He was Ouyang Tian's younger brother. The reason why he didn't become the patriarch of the family was because of the order of the elders. Secondly, his ability wasn't as good as Ouyang Tian's. His personality was also a little soft. How could such a person bring the Ouyang Family forward? Therefore, it was Ouyang Tian who won the battle.    

Of course, more importantly, this Ouyang Zhong had another identity. He was the son-in-law of the Great Elder! He had married a niece of the Great Elder many years ago, and the Great Elder had raised such an opinion. It was hard to say if there was a personal reason behind this.    

However, putting aside the relationship between the Great Elder and Ouyang Zhong, this Ouyang Zhong was indeed a qualified candidate. He didn't have the ability, plus his personality was rather weak, so he could only rely on these elders. This way, they would once again have the power to do so. They would not become a mascot anymore.    

"I agree with the Great Elder's opinion. The position of Patriarch belongs to the most powerful! Now, Ouyang Tian clearly didn't have the ability to do so, so he had to abdicate and give up his position. Let those who are more capable go up! " After a moment of silence, a person who was usually very close to the Great Elder echoed.    

The Great Elder looked at the other party with satisfaction, then looked at the other people present, wanting to hear their thoughts.    

"I agree too! We're doing this for the sake of the family. Ouyang Tian has caused such a huge trouble for the family, but he still doesn't have the ability to solve it. He should abdicate!" Another person echoed.    

"Yes, I agree as well!"    

"I agree!"    

The other people present also agreed one after another. Although everyone knew that the Great Elder would be the one who would receive the greatest benefits after Ouyang Zhong ascended the throne. However, they would also benefit from it. After all, it was better than having no power at all. They would have to be guarded against by Ouyang Tian. Therefore, everyone agreed without much hesitation.    

The Great Elder was very satisfied when he saw everyone's reaction. He said with a smile, "Alright. Since everyone thinks so, let's discuss what we should do next."    

On the other side, Ouyang Tian, who was lying on the bed, obviously didn't know that those elders were planning how to get him out of the position of Patriarch.    

However, although he didn't know what those elders were doing, he could imagine that those elders who didn't want to be lonely would definitely make a move when he got sick this time.    

"Father, how are you?" Beside Ouyang Tian's bed, Ouyang Xingwen was looking at his father with a worried expression.    

Ouyang Xingwen's worry was not fake. He was really worried now. He had never been so worried before, no matter how big the trouble was. Because, he knew that his biggest backer was his father. As long as his father was alright, he would be in big trouble. He would be fine.    

However, this time, his father clearly had a serious illness. His face was pale, although it had only been a short time since they last saw each other. However... Ouyang Xingwen felt that his father seemed to have aged more than ten years. This made him very worried and afraid. Once something happened to his father, as a person who had yet to awaken the magic talent... He didn't think that his life would be any better. In fact, even he might not be able to sit stably in the position of clan head.    

Obviously, Ouyang Xingwen still thought that the position would definitely belong to him. It was just a matter of time.    

Seeing the worry on his son's face, Ouyang Tian finally felt a little relieved. However, when he saw his wife crying at the side, he frowned. He rebuked angrily, "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet. Get out. Don't make me angry when I see you here!"    

Ouyang Tian's wife, Ouyang Xingwen's mother, stood up crying. She was just a woman. Now that Ouyang Tian was sick, she felt like the sky was falling. She had no idea what to do. She was even more panicked than Ouyang Xingwen.    

Seeing that his wife had gone out and stopped crying, Ouyang Tian's facial expression became slightly better.
