In the Council Hall, Wang Ruyan sat in the main seat, while more than fifty clansmen sat on either side.
To be honest, Wang Ruyan did not need to worry herself over choosing the family head or improving the system. She only needed to make her stance known.

Over the years, Wang Qiuhong had tempered Wang Qiuli plenty. Wang Qiuli had already cultivated to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment. If she could advance to the Core Formation Stage, she would be the best candidate for family head.
Wang Ruyan also agreed. Before Wang Qiuli advanced to the Core Formation Stage, the position of family head would temporarily be held by Wang Mengfen. He had previously been the family head of the Yu Country branch.
If Wang Qiuli was unable to advance to the Core Formation Stage, Wang Mengfen would become the official family head.
