Moreover, what he said was clearly aimed at her and Shi Si, simply to create an opportunity for Shi Ying, who lost two games yesterday. It was blatant favoritism.

Shi Jing tapped the table lightly with his pen, but his gaze toward the Grand Elder carried a hint of pressure, and his voice was slightly cold, "How come I didn't know that even the outcome of the basic assessment no longer matters? Was this a decision you made on your own, Grand Elder?"

The First Elder slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, showing no sign of panic. A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes as he slowly said, "Patriarch, this is the result that our elders have unanimously agreed upon after discussion."

"Moreover, the assessment of heirs has always been handled by our council of elders, and we are also responsible for setting the assessment content and rules. This is for the future development of the Shi family. Obviously, our ability to solve problems is far greater than those external factors."

Shi Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. The elder's words were flawless, and he couldn't find any fault with them. He didn't intend to argue with him any further. He simply raised his chin slightly and said, "Continue."

Seeing the Grand Elder's confident demeanor, he could guess that even if he expressed his opposition now, there would be other plans to block him later, so it was better to deal with it as it came.

Moreover, the siblings' performance yesterday also shocked him.

Especially Shi Miao, which made him firmly believe that she could also perfectly complete the second family task assessment.

The Grand Elder frowned almost imperceptibly, sensing something was off.

He thought Shi Jing would argue with him, and he had prepared a lot of arguments and plans in advance, but the other party only mentioned it briefly and that was it.

Could it be that the brother and sister really have been secretly handling family affairs all along, just as they suspected?

The elder's eyelids twitched, but he suppressed his doubts and immediately had someone bring the tablet over.

Family missions are also determined by a lottery system, and the difficulty level varies. Whether you can draw an easy one depends entirely on your luck.

The elder pushed the tablet in front of Shi Miao, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Since you got first place in the first assessment, you will have priority in the lottery in this round of assessments."

Shi Miao raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, glanced lazily at the lottery program on her tablet, then looked at the Grand Elder with a half-smile and said casually, "Then I'm really quite lucky."

It's not hard to guess that the Elder's suggestion that she draw this first was definitely not a good thing.

It seems that they must have tampered with this lottery app beforehand.

The first person to draw a prize is definitely someone who was pre-arranged and won't get a good task.

Maybe they'll deliberately prepare the most difficult task for her.

The elder sat back down in his chair, seemingly unconcerned that she might notice anything. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, "Please, Miss."

Shi Miao curled the corners of her lips, looking quite calm and composed, and then reached out and pressed the extraction button on the tablet screen.

The next second, her assessment task popped up on the screen.

Shi Miao looked at the task on the screen, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and his expression suddenly became somewhat peculiar.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the Grand Elder, who assumed she had backed out after seeing the task details. He feigned concern and asked, "I wonder what kind of assessment task Miss has drawn?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Miao looked up at him and pushed the tablet back to him, her tone rather indifferent, "Elder, you should take a look for yourself."

"A mission to cooperate with the King organization?" The elder took the tablet that was pushed towards him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then looked at Shi Miao and smiled. "Then I really have to congratulate you, Miss. You have a lot of luck. This mission of yours is almost not difficult at all."

Shi Ying, who had been sitting quietly, darkened her eyes when she heard that Shi Miao had drawn a mission from the King organization. She seemed not to have expected the elders to make such an arrangement.

She glanced at Shi Miao again, and seeing that she had returned to her carefree state, she couldn't help but frown.

It's important to know that the King organization's territory has always been in a no-man's-land in M ​​continent, where third-party forces are also intertwined, making it extremely chaotic and dangerous.

Forget about cooperation; any outsider who sets foot there is at the mercy of the authorities.

How could such a task be without any difficulty?

I wonder if Shi Miao will be able to remain so calm once she knows what's going on over there.

Shi Ying subtly curled the corners of her lips. It seemed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the position of heir should rightfully belong to her.

Shi Miao didn't seem to notice the look Shi Ying had just given her. She didn't care whether the task she'd drawn was difficult or easy; she just hadn't expected it to be a collaborative mission with the King organization...

Isn't this a great opportunity that's just been delivered right to our doorstep?

Shi Jing naturally didn't know that the King organization was related to Ji Yanchen. He frowned slightly, clearly disapproving of the task Shi Miao had chosen.

He looked sharply at the Grand Elder and said coldly, "I'm sure everyone here knows what's going on over there."

The First Elder had already prepared his explanation and said slowly, "As you know, Patriarch, our Shi family and the King organization have reached an agreement on cooperation. The young lady's task is very simple; she is merely to represent our Shi family to sign a cooperation contract."

He paused, his gaze falling on Shi Miao, and continued, "I believe that with Miss Shi's abilities, handling a simple contract will definitely not be a problem."

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow slightly and gave Shi Jing, who was about to continue speaking, a look that said, "Tell me to calm down."

She lazily stretched out her legs, shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, propped her face up with her pale hand, looked at the Grand Elder opposite her, nodded, and said in full agreement, "Yes, the Grand Elder is right, it really isn't difficult."

The First Elder's cheek twitched slightly upon hearing this, clearly not expecting her to say such a thing. It was unclear whether she was feigning ignorance or genuinely naive; his smile didn't reach his eyes. "Since Miss has put it that way, then Patriarch, what do you think..."

Shi Jing's eyes narrowed. Based on his understanding of Shi Miao, since she said that, she must have a good idea of ​​the mission.

Suppressing his doubts for the time being, he said calmly, "Let the rest of you continue drawing lots."

The Grand Elder nodded. "In that case, there are no objections to this matter."

After saying that, he handed the tablet to the remaining people who had not yet drawn lots.
