However, one thing greatly surprised Su Hao, and he asked the Midwife beside him:

Why aren't these two children crying or making a fuss?

Having delivered countless babies, the Midwife quickly said, "Some children are just naturally gifted; the Family Head need not be surprised, it's a normal phenomenon."

Su Hao waved for her to leave, and the Midwife quickly bowed and left the Courtyard.

The Midwife knew the matter was serious, so she neither asked nor listened to any questions, and simply did whatever she was told.

He then looked at the woman on the bed. Although she looked a little weak, she was in very good condition. Cultivator do not experience as much pain during childbirth, and they can replenish their energy with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures after giving birth.

Looking at the two children, Ye Qianqian said with some worry, "Family Head, Su Lan is such a talented girl, but Su Chen is so mediocre. Won't he feel resentful in the future?"

Su Lan is the name of the Moon Spirit Immortal Emperor, while Su Chen is the same as before.

Su Hao fell silent upon hearing this. As a first-time father, he was somewhat unsure how to handle the situation.

He desperately wanted to be a good father, but his child had been treated unfairly since birth, leaving him unsure how to handle the situation.

"Well, we can only take it one step at a time."

Su Hao looked at Su Chen, and seeing that Su Chen was also looking at him, a smile immediately appeared on his face:

"But it doesn't matter. Cultivation isn't all about aptitude. Throughout history, there have been many terrifyingly powerful individuals born from humble beginnings. Our Chen'er is so clever and intelligent; his Future will certainly not be mediocre."

Ye Qianqian nodded. "Definitely."

Standing to the side, Su Lan felt extremely guilty. Although she couldn't speak, her eyes were filled with love as she looked at Su Chen.

Why!

It's all my fault.

If it weren't for my own fault, my brother wouldn't be in this situation.

Su Chen was utterly speechless at the sight. What kind of looks are you all giving me?

He turned his head to look at the baby girl beside him.

And you!

Your expressions are so lively!

He hadn't noticed it before, but now, looking at the other person, his eyes were full of wisdom and intelligence, completely unlike a newborn Ying'er.

While some Heavenly Prodigy may be exceptionally intelligent, it's impossible for someone to be this clever, born with such an active mind.

Could he have been reborn through Possession?

That's unlikely; someone Possession and reborn couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

Never mind, never mind.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, he was content to be a good-for-nothing and didn't care about anything else. Even when he was still in the womb, he had heard many of his parents' comments about this life.

The Su Family seems to be quite powerful, at least enough for him to live the life of a spoiled brat.

After Su Hao left the room, he told Su Yunfeng about the situation, and the latter shook his head helplessly.

"Some things can't be forced. Having one genius is enough. As for Su Chen, just treat him well."

"Although our Su Family is not weak, it is not strong either. If we really had two Chaos Body, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to support them."

Su Hao shook his head and smiled, then said, "Ancestor, I know."

Su Yunfeng didn't offer any further comfort. His expression was grave as he said, "Don't tell anyone about Su Chen and his two children, not even anyone else in the Within the Su Family."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao's expression also turned serious.

Su Yunfeng continued, "Your Family Head lineage has become increasingly weak in recent years, and other branches want to replace you. If they knew about Su Lan's potential, they would definitely destroy her at all costs before she could grow up."

The Su Family was, after all, a large clan, and naturally, there were internal conflicts within the clan.

For such large Lineage, there is no such thing as Lineage affection; they only care about their own interests. Su Yunfeng was used to such things, so he didn't feel angry at all when he said this.

Su Hao clenched his fists. He wasn't particularly talented, but he was able to become the Family Head because he was good at management.

She managed the Lineage very well, so many people supported her.

However, although his cultivation level stagnated and he was unable to break through to the Half-step Profound Immortal realm, Yuelai and fewer people supported him.

"You now have two choices: either you voluntarily abdicate and hand over the position to a more capable person, or I will preserve your position as Family Head."

"Don't worry, even if you don't become the Family Head, Su Lan's resources will still be plentiful. I still have plenty of things on me, enough for that girl Lan'er to use."

This...

Su Hao's expression changed upon hearing this.

If the Ancestor says something like that, then he basically wants him to step down and give way to a more capable person.

Of course, this is indeed the best option.

If he continues to be the Family Head, it will only exacerbate the internal strife within the Lineage and will not be conducive to Su Lan's growth. Therefore, for the sake of the Lineage and Su Lan, it is the best choice for him to voluntarily step down from the position of Family Head.

Su Hao sighed helplessly and cupped his hands, saying, "Ancestor, I know what to do."

Su Yunfeng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder twice:

"You don't need to be sad. Su Lan is Chaos Body. When she grows up, will you, as her father, be any less capable?"

"Giving up short-term gains to provide your child with a better living environment is a good thing."

Su Hao nodded; this was indeed the best choice.

Having thought it through, he no longer hesitated and immediately summoned all the senior members of the Su Family to the Discussion Hall.

Currently, the strongest branch of the Su Family belongs to the Great Elder, who is also the most powerful. Therefore, Su Hao's abdication is undoubtedly the best choice for him.

The Su Family High-Ranking Members, totaling nearly a hundred, among whom are the twenty-three Elder of the Su Family.

The Great Elder was the leader of these twenty-three Elder.

Upon Su Hao's arrival, everyone stood up and bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Family Head!"

Su Hao waved his hand, and without wasting any words, he went straight to the point:

Please have a seat.

"The reason I've called you all here today is actually for one thing. Many people in the Su Family have been saying that my strength isn't even up to the Profound Immortal, and that I'm no longer qualified to be the Family Head."

The crowd frowned slightly; were they preparing to confront them?

The Great Elder immediately stood up and said with a serious expression, "Such treasonous remarks are a crime deserving of death. I suggest a thorough investigation into this matter."

He definitely didn't do it himself; he's not that stupid.

Although he wanted to be the Family Head, he also did not want the internal strife to be too serious. Therefore, when vying for the position of Family Head, he acted in a relatively mild manner and did not directly cause conflict.

Su Hao waved his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Actually, I've thought about it a lot. The Great Elder's strength is above mine, and his talent is also better than mine. It's indeed reasonable for him to be the Family Head."

The Great Elder looked at Su Hao with some confusion, wondering what Su Hao was up to.

However, Su Hao's next words immediately plunged the hall into dead silence.

"Therefore, the Family Head has decided to abdicate and recommend the Great Elder to become the Head of the Su Family. What do you all think?"
