The great elder glanced at the warden. "Why? Do you think Huo Yao isn't a member of the Huo family?"
The warden's face stiffened. He did not reject Huo Yao because he looked down on her. He hurriedly explained. "That's not what I meant. I just..."
Before he could finish, the great elder raised his hand and interrupted him. "Enough. You should trust Huo Yao's ability to handle a simple contract."
The great elder paused before he looked at Huo Yao with a smile. "Miss Huo Yao, you're fine with it, right?"
Huo Yao raised her brow. Her peach blossom eyes sparkled as she nodded confidently. "Of course."
"Then I have no objections." The great elder made his decision. Then he picked up the tablet and began to let the others draw the tasks for the union.
The warden opened his mouth, but he could only sit back in his seat helplessly without saying anything else.
Since Master Feng was not around, the elders were in charge of everything. They were the ones who had orchestrated the successor assessment, so they must have planned everything well in advance.
It was pointless even if he objected.
Before long, all the tasks were drawn.
The meeting was adjourned after the tasks were drawn.
Most of the people present had already left, leaving only two branch deacons sitting at the conference table.
One of them was the warden in charge of Shangyi Town. His surname was Ding, and he had a worried look on his face.
"Old Ding, let's go." The person next to him patted him on the shoulder.
Ding glanced at his colleague before he nodded with a bitter smile and stood up.
His colleague saw his dejected expression and walked out while trying to persuade him in a low voice. "Now that the Great Elder is temporarily in charge, Lord Feng's situation … Since things have come to this, why don't you privately ask the Great Elder to arrange for two more people who can represent the Huo family to go to Shangyi? That way, there won't be any problems because of Eldest Miss."
Ding shook his head. "There's no use begging him. They are deliberately targeting Huo Yao."
"That's true." The colleague sighed softly. He looked up and saw Huo Wanying waiting for the elevator. A thought crossed his mind, and he suggested another idea. "Oh yes. You can look for Miss Wanying."
Ding was stunned. "Why should I look for her?"
"Miss Wan Ying has quite a good reputation in the circle over the years. If you can ask her for a favor, everything you're worried about will be resolved," the colleague said.
"That's even more impossible. Don't forget that Miss Wan Ying is also one of the candidates for the successor. She and the Young Mistress are rivals, yet you want her to help the Young Mistress? Isn't this a joke? "
The Great Elder and the others wanted to push Huo Wanying to the top. Huo Wanying would be stupid to help them.
Deacon Ding once again rejected his colleague's suggestion.
"Even so, this is also for the sake of the Huo family."
Even though Eldest Miss's performance yesterday was amazing, she had no reputation outside. Even if her name was announced, besides the people within the family, who else would know of her?
She had lost to Huo Wanying in this aspect alone.
After all, experience was accumulated through strength. Without experience, one would be inferior to others.
Officer Ding understood what his colleague meant. He looked at Huo Wanying, who had just stepped into the elevator, and started to waver. "Let me think about it."

Huo Yulin and Huo Yao got into the car.
Huo Yulin finally spoke with a complicated expression on his face. "You knew that it was a trap waiting for you to jump into. Why did you agree?"
