The council hall fell into silence as everyone contemplated how to make a decision, which was truly a difficult problem.
Lan Qingyan looked smugly at Baili Hongzhuang, who had already believed that she had won this game, but she overlooked the most crucial point.
She wanted to see if Baili Hongzhuang could still remain indifferent.
However, when Lan Qingyan looked at Baili Hongzhuang, she found no trace of worry on her face. On the contrary, she had an air of calmness, as if everything was under her control.
This made Lan Qingyan furrow her brow. Could she have made a mistake somewhere?
Or... was Baili Hongzhuang's current composure all an act?
Lan Hongtai looked at the confrontation between Baili Hongzhuang and Lan Qingyan, and the light in his eyes gradually turned firm.
He had already made up his mind. Even if he violated the clan rules, he would make Baili Hongzhuang the head of the Lan family!
On one hand, it was because of his debt to Lan Yunxiao and Baili Hongzhuang. On the other hand, Baili Hongzhuang's abilities were far superior to Lan Qingyan's!
With Baili Hongzhuang leading the entire Lan family, its development would undoubtedly be much better than under Lan Qingyan's leadership!
He believed that the chosen inheritor of the Seven-Colored Divine Bead was destined to be the savior of the Lan family.
Even though the Seven-Colored Divine Bead was not currently within Baili Hongzhuang's body, her identity would not change!
At this moment, Baili Hongzhuang's voice sounded.
"You conspired against your own family, and your parents incited internal strife within the clan. How can someone like you become the head of the Lan family?
Do you think that the current members of the Lan family still respect you as they did before?"
These words pierced Lan Qingyan's heart like a sharp blade, and it was the one thing she couldn't accept right now.
Throughout the day, she felt that the gazes of all her clan members carried a hint of unfamiliarity and unacceptance, completely different from the respect and admiration she used to receive.
Having been accustomed to a life where she was the center of attention, she found it extremely uncomfortable to face all of this.
"What does any of this mean?
The head of the family should always be the strongest in the clan.
In terms of cultivation and talent, you can't compare to me in any aspect. I am the one who should become the head of the family!"
Lan Qingyan raised her voice, mocking Baili Hongzhuang. She disregarded all other issues. She had already reached the first level of the Purple Realm, while Baili Hongzhuang remained at the ninth level of the Blue Realm.
Moreover, with the Seven-Colored Divine Bead, her talent in cultivation was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. She didn't know how Baili Hongzhuang had reached her current level, but as long as she had the Seven-Colored Divine Bead, surpassing Baili Hongzhuang in the future was only a matter of time.
Listening to Lan Qingyan's words, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hehe."
Everyone, including Lan Qingyan, looked at Baili Hongzhuang, wondering what she found so amusing.
"It's truly the first time I've seen someone who snatched something from others and still feels so smug. Do you really think that by snatching the Seven-Colored Divine Bead, it's truly yours?"
Lan Qingyan's expression gradually changed, unable to grasp the meaning behind Baili Hongzhuang's words.
"Now, the Seven-Colored Divine Bead is mine!"
She refused to believe that Baili Hongzhuang could take the Seven-Colored Divine Bead away from her!
However, Baili Hongzhuang's next words shocked everyone present.
"Do you think that only you possess the Seven-Colored Divine Bead?"
