Chapter 1899: 1998 Is Over, the Ou Family Is Finished

"There must have been some other unexpected incident, perhaps, maybe it’s..." Ou Mingzhi forced a smile and said.

Although he thought of it and felt the second reason was unlikely, he really couldn’t come up with any other reason. His words had a hint of self-consolation.

"Yes, there must have been some other unexpected incident, let’s wait a bit longer. If something truly happened to the third grand ancestor, the family will soon send news." Ou Dechuan nodded and said. Even though he knew Ou Mingzhi was trying to console himself, he could only agree, otherwise he truly didn’t know how to face the worst outcome.

As soon as he finished speaking, another Communication Talisman trembled on him. Ou Dechuan’s mood became unprecedentedly tense; he took a deep breath and took out the Jade Talisman. With just one glance, he was stunned like struck by lightning, standing there, speechless for a long time.

Ou Mingzhi leaned forward, his face instantly turned ghastly pale.

"The third grand ancestor’s life jade token shattered, fear he has passed away, return swiftly!" A brief line of text directly plunged the father and son into despair.

"Dead, the third grand ancestor is truly dead..." Ou Mingzhi muttered to himself, almost unable to believe his eyes.

"Puh!" Ou Dechuan suddenly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood and fell straight to the ground.

It’s over, he knew, at that moment the Ou Family was done for.

If it were just Ou Pingxuan dying, that wouldn’t be much, after all, decades ago he had started a life-secluding retreat, life or death was within the family’s expectations. But the problem was, he didn’t die from seclusion but from a clash with Han Yan.

Not to mention the Life God Temple’s punishment once the matter is exposed, how they would punish his Ou Family, just Han Yan’s revenge alone was enough to destroy their family. Even the third grand ancestor, a Tenth Rank Divine Heart Priest, wasn’t her match, let alone the Ou Family?

At this moment, Ou Dechuan regretted to the point of turning his intestines blue. If he had known how formidable Han Yan was, he wouldn’t have dared to ask the third grand ancestor to intervene for anything, and now it’s good. Not only did it cost the third grand ancestor’s life, but also pushed the entire Ou Family onto a dead-end.

"Father!" Ou Mingzhi, however, was not so agitated and supported Ou Dechuan.

This was not because his heart was more resolute than Ou Dechuan, but because he hadn’t thought that far; he was just a bit disappointed that Han Yan wasn’t dead, as for Ou Pingxuan’s death, he didn’t care much, in his impression, this third grand ancestor had already died decades ago.

In fact, Ou Mingzhi was originally a cold and ruthless person; if it weren’t for his own future, he wouldn’t have cared if the Ou Family was annihilated, how could he care about Ou Pingxuan’s life or death?

"It’s over, our Ou Family is done for. Mingzhi, you quickly go, the farther the better, from now on conceal your identity and never mention anything related to the Ou Family again." Ou Dechuan grabbed his son’s hand and said, panic-stricken.

At this point, he only sought to preserve this fragile bloodline.

"Father, please don’t rush. In my opinion, things might not be as bad as they seem." Ou Mingzhi said.

"Oh?" Ou Dechuan looked at him, puzzled.

"Father, I think that even if the third grand ancestor failed, his identity may not have been exposed. Han Yan might not have captured any evidence against us. Moreover, with the third grand ancestor dead, Han Yan may not still be alive. Perhaps the third grand ancestor took her down with him?" Ou Mingzhi contemplated as he spoke.

If it’s confirmed that Han Yan is safe and the third grand ancestor’s true identity was captured with hard evidence, he would unhesitantly follow his father’s instructions; his little life would be really vital then.

But as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, he absolutely won’t abandon his current identity. He has his ambitions, how could he willingly become a plain, unnamed commoner?

"Hmm, what you say makes some sense, I hadn’t thought of that." With Ou Mingzhi’s reminder, Ou Dechuan’s mood relaxed a lot, and he looked at him with some relief. He previously always felt he wasn’t mature enough, but now facing such a major event, he still managed to stay calm, analyze these things logically, he was stronger than what he previously thought.

But what he didn’t know was, the reason Ou Mingzhi still held his rationality was purely out of cold-bloodedness, solely thinking about his own interests. The reason he was scattered and not thinking thoroughly was because he was overly worried about the Ou family’s future.
