Chapter 1, paragraph 32
How he leads
His authority is ritual before it is command, as he opens the prayer and closes the room.
After concluding his prayers, the Clan Leader was the first to bend down, palms flat against the wooden floorboards, kowtowing.

Chapter 1, paragraph 47
Why he matters
He is the ceiling of the first arc, the most powerful person in Fang Yuan's immediate world, and a man Fang Yuan has already watched live and die once. Even at the ceremony, where the results should move him, his reaction is the smallest in the hall.
Even the seasoned, composed Gu Yue Clan Leader frowned slightly.
Chapter 4, paragraph 28
What the chapters have hinted

The fourth clan leader was our only Rank 5 expert, but he perished alongside the Flower Wine Monk and left no descendants.
