"Those who oppose, please cast your vote!" the Great Elder said with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Everyone was stunned. After the Great Elder's combination of moves, no one knew what to do.

If they opposed Inoue Ki's choice of Inoue You, Inoue Ki might just flip the table in anger. But if they didn't oppose, and Inoue Ki became the Acting Clan Leader, with his intelligence, wouldn't he be easily manipulated by the Great Elder?

The members of Inoue You's line turned their gazes to him, but Inoue You showed no reaction, sitting quietly as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

Meanwhile, Inoue Ki was beaming with joy, glancing at Inoue You with a triumphant look in his eyes.

After a lifelong rivalry, he was the one who had the last laugh, becoming the Acting Clan Leader! Once he became the Acting Clan Leader, Inoue Ki believed he could drop the "Acting" title and become the true Clan Leader of the Inoue Family!

"If no one has any objections, then Inoue Ki is now the Acting Clan Leader," the Great Elder stated indifferently, "Inoue Ki, you are now the Acting Clan Leader and must take on the heavy responsibility of the Family Head of the Inoue Clan, quell the internal strife, catch the assassin of the former Clan Leader, and retrieve the Family Head's Token. Only in this way, can you become a qualified Acting Clan Leader. Do you understand?"

After Kawaio Inoue was assassinated, the Family Head's Token also went missing. Only by finding the Family Head's Token could one become the true Clan Leader!

"Let's leave it at that for now," the Great Elder said calmly, "Yingzi, push me back."

Inoue Sakura obediently pushed the wheelchair, leaving the clan hall.

"Big brother, oh no, Inoue You!" Inoue Ki looked at Inoue You with a smug smile and said, "I never expected that I would become the Acting Clan Leader! I always thought you were more suitable to be the Clan Leader, but alas, the Great Elder has a keen eye for talent, and I had to reluctantly accept the role! However, rest assured, I will surely catch the assassin of our father and find the Family Head's Token, and not let everyone's expectations down!"

Inoue You looked at Inoue Ki's smug demeanor as if he had swallowed a nasty fly, and responded dryly, "Heh, then I wish you success!"

With that, Inoue You turned and left.

"Why did you do that!" Back in the attic, Inoue Sakura couldn't help but ask.

The Great Elder had returned to his original appearance. Ling Feng rubbed his shoulders and said, "Ah, playing the old man for so long has made my shoulders sore."

When Ling Feng realized he had killed the Great Elder, a plan formed in his mind—to impersonate the Great Elder, which would allow him to secretly trip up the Inoue Family.

Since the Great Elder rarely left the attic and was not well-known to everyone, this reduced the difficulty of impersonation. Furthermore, since Ling Feng had learned numerous secrets of the Great Elder through Soul Capture, he had ample confidence.

In terms of appearance, being in the Demi-God Domain, Ling Feng found it effortless to impersonate the Great Elder. Although he wasn't capable of the 72 Transformations given his current activation level of genes, controlling his facial muscles and skeletal structure to resemble another person was trivial.

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Inoue Sakura bit her lips and went behind him, starting to knead his shoulders with her soft hands.

Ling Feng squinted, thoroughly enjoying the massage. Indeed, Inoue Sakura's massage skills were quite impressive.

Of course, Ling Feng's actions were not driven by lust or any other reasons; his goal was to gradually wear down Inoue Sakura's wariness toward him and make her accustomed to obeying his commands!

Inoue Sakura harbored no good feelings toward the Inoue Family, but rather deep hatred. Even the Great Elder was eager to show his fangs!

It could be said that within the Inoue Family, apart from Ling Feng as the impostor Great Elder, Inoue Sakura had no other support. This was exactly what Ling Feng was happy to see, because only in this way could he be sure to control Inoue Sakura!

As long as Inoue Sakura obeyed him, once she truly took control of the Inoue Family, she could become Ling Feng's planted nail in Fusang!

Moreover, through the information of the Great Elder, Ling Feng knew that Inoue Ki was impatient and easily provoked, so Ling Feng simply granted him the title of Acting Clan Leader!

Ling Feng believed that with Inoue Ki's intelligence, he would certainly start to move against Inoue You. What could be more interesting than watching a battle from the sidelines?

"Gentlemen, I am now the Acting Clan Leader of the Inoue Family, and this is all thanks to your contributions!" As expected, Inoue Ki immediately gathered all his supporters and declared, "The only obstacle standing in my way is Inoue You. If we get rid of Inoue You's power, I will be the Clan Leader!"

"Acting Clan Leader... Clan Leader, don't act rashly!" A middle-aged man with an ominous expression stepped forward and said, "I believe this is a plot by the Great Elder, a ruse to make us fight Inoue You and allow him to reap the benefits. If we recklessly go to war with Inoue You's forces, we will definitely fall into the Great Elder's trap!"

He paused before continuing, "Moreover, the existence of Inoue Sakura is also an unstable factor. As long as she is within the Inoue Family, she is a ticking time bomb."

"That's right!" the Third Elder spoke up at this point: "Aki, you've obtained the position of Acting Clan Leader, but the Great Elder is definitely up to no good; this much is clear to me! Therefore, our next goal is not to confront Inoue You but to catch the assassin of Kawaio Inoue!"

Inoue Ki asked with some confusion, "Catch the assassin? I'm rather thankful to this assassin. If it weren't for him killing Kawaio Inoue, how could I have had the chance to claim the position of the Clan Leader? But... Third Elder, why should we bother catching the assassin? Could it be that I must truly avenge that old man?"

The Third Elder smiled faintly, "You are now only the Acting Clan Leader. To gain the recognition of most people in the Inoue Family, searching for the assassin is necessary! At the same time, you must show through this action that you have no intention of continuing the internal struggle, and if Inoue You does not cooperate, you can then use the authority of the Acting Clan Leader to weaken his power. This is an overt strategy; even if Inoue You is aware of it, he can do nothing!"

"Furthermore..." said the Third Elder with a sinister smile, "No one knows who killed Kawaio Inoue. Therefore, when the time comes, it's not impossible to name a deer as a horse! If the assassin turned out to be one of Inoue You's people..."

A light of realization flashed in Inoue Ki's eyes, and he enthusiastically slapped his thigh, "That's right, thank you for the guidance, Third Elder!"
