Chapter 2129: The Waves Begin

Zhu Yanyi watched the scene and said, "Alright, since you all agree, that is good. It is a pity we are here. I always worry someone will come. Otherwise, we would really celebrate properly."

"Let's go home to celebrate," Yan Aohan said with a smile, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. She had no objections.

After solving the matter of the snake-guiding grass, the group walked around the area. They acted as if they were just strolling and enjoying the scenery, before planning to leave.

However, Zhu Yanyi noticed that someone seemed to be watching them from the shadows.

Since Zhu Yanyi noticed, Yan Aohan naturally did too. Yan Aohan let out a cold laugh. "All of you, get lost. If you keep spying, I will gouge out your eyes."

With just those simple words, the feeling of being watched vanished instantly.

"Who do they work for?" Ouyang Tianyun asked.

Yan Aohan replied, "It does not matter who they work for. Right now, they are forced by me. They have to use some methods, but they chose the wrong ones. They think watching me is enough. They forgot how I dealt with the Zheng and Yang families ten years ago."

If the Venerable Yanluo were so easy to watch, he would not be the Venerable Yanluo.

Yi Yunfei said, "Some people are like that. They forget the pain once the wound heals. They should focus on their current life, not the past. For them, the past might be a disaster, a pain."

"As members of the Yan family, what difficulties or pain do we have? Here, they enjoy pleasures others cannot." Yan Aohan answered.

Zhu Yanyi and the others naturally believed this answer. They all knew that with the current barrier, it would be hard not to be happy living here.

"They do not know they are blessed," Yu Qingyun sighed.

"That is why we need reform," Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly.

In the next two or three days, Yan Aohan seemed not to ask about the seven elders. Although the steward, Yan Chun, reported on the seven elders from time to time, Yan Aohan truly did not interfere much.

He had given them a chance. Whether they could seize it was their problem, never Yan Aohan’s.

Three days meant nothing to Yan Aohan. But for the seven elders, every day felt like a year.

"I never thought our Yan family had fallen to this state," the First Elder said. Only now did he understand why Yan Aohan had been so angry.

"What should we do now? Should we just let the Family Head drive us all out?" the Fourth Elder asked, frowning.

The Second Elder remained silent for a moment. "I think we should gather everyone on the lawn. Then we can discuss this together."

"Is that a good idea?" the First Elder asked.

The Second Elder said, "We have reached this point. Having more worries is useless. Besides, the law does not punish the crowd. If the Family Head does not accept our discussion result, he will not punish all of us. He cannot kill us all, can he?"

"I think the Second Elder’s suggestion is very good," the Third Elder said, automatically taking sides.

"I also think it is okay," the Seventh Elder spoke up.

"Moreover, being anxious like this is no solution," the Sixth Elder said. Although he did not say it explicitly, he agreed with the Second Elder’s suggestion.

The First Elder pondered for a moment. "Since that is the case, you go notify everyone. We will gather on the lawn and talk about this problem properly."

"Yes." A thoughtful glint in the Second Elder’s eyes went unnoticed by anyone. Everyone agreed on a time and then dispersed to notify the relevant people.

Although the Yan family had many members, there were only about two hundred people here. Everyone quickly arrived at the lawn.

The flowers on the lawn bloomed beautifully. Although everyone felt the flowers looked strange, no one thought much of it.

The seven elders began to discuss the issue once most people were present.

The First Elder spoke first. "Dear relatives and friends, I called you here today mainly for the upcoming reform of our Yan family. I never imagined that without the danger from the Zheng and Yang families, in just ten years, our Yan family would have so many unbelievable things and people inside.

No wonder the Family Head was angry. No wonder he said he only gives us this one chance. You fight and compete with each other. We have long lost our former harmony. If the Yan family does not reform, it will surely follow the path of the Zheng and Yang families."

The First Elder naturally did not say that Yan Aohan intended to destroy the Yan family and create a new one. He was truly worried that if such words came out, no one present could calm down.

They were all Yan family members. Everyone knew the situation of the Yan family clearly. They felt ashamed in their hearts. In just ten years, their minds had been affected to this extent. This showed that ambition and the desire for power were truly not to be underestimated.

"First Elder, what should we do according to your idea?" someone asked.

The First Elder sighed. "That is why I called you here. I want to hear your opinions. I want to see if there is any way to save the Yan family now."

"This…" Everyone present fell silent. Even though they knew they were selfish, pulling out their selfishness was impossible. They knew better than anyone how happy they were here. But they also knew they had no other thoughts about comfortable lives. What they wanted more was more wealth.

They did not know when this idea started in their hearts: that wealth makes people happy. They knew this idea was wrong. But it had reached this point. Some were even deeply trapped in it. It was impossible to escape. So they could not say anything else. They had no right to say anything.

The Second Elder coughed beside him. "Actually, there is a way to solve this."

After speaking, the Second Elder laughed. This smile seemed to make people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

The First Elder looked at the Second Elder. "What do you want to say? If you have a good method, speak out."

"Death," the Second Elder smiled lightly. "Everyone dies. It shows our dissatisfaction with the Family Head. Even if the Family Head is angry, it is useless. He can only be helpless towards us."

"Nonsense. If everyone dies, even if the Family Head is helpless, we get no benefit," the First Elder said dissatisfied. "Second Elder, you cannot say such things randomly."
