I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 583: Chapter 579: Omen

Actually, the seating arrangement of Tang Luo and Tang Xing at the same table with the Chief Official was to show respect for the Sect Head who was engaged in warfare. If Xu Shuhui were on this invitation, it wouldn’t have been sent to the two brothers. But now, they are the only ones who can represent Tang Sen. Therefore, despite their young age, they have the right to sit in the seat of honor.

But Tang Xing was unaware of this and simply treated it as a regular banquet. He brought his new girlfriend, causing the current situation.

Still, boys will be boys. Commander Tang Yi of the Divine Military was able to captivate them with just a few words, their blood boiling with excitement, wishing they could join the wars at once.

When those who had finished their drinks reseated themselves, waitresses like running water came to replace their wine cups. As Tang Yi sat, a faint blush spread across his face. It was not from drunkenness but excitement.

“Chief Official, when will we proceed?”

“Wait for the performance to end and the banquet to conclude,” the Chief Official, Tang Zu, waved his hand, indicating Tang Yi to be not impatient.

One had to let the family members enjoy the songs and dances at the rare festive banquet in the serene Xiangyun Valley. Even after that, they could enjoy their food and drinks to their fill.

Underneath Martial Hall were array formations. Since the people of Yunyin House stepped into it, they had become like fish in a barrel. Why not let them struggle for a bit?

The commander of the Divine Military, Tang Yi, nodded, continued drinking and eating, and indulged in the songs and dance performance on stage.

Master Zhao had already stepped down. Now, it was time for the singing girls from the Yunyin House, their voices melodious and clear, refreshing the body and soul.

“Chief Official, are you really not going to send someone to inform Cunfu?” the Third Elder Tang Zhenghao asked Tang Zu.

This operation was about to annihilate the entire branch of the enemy. Yet Cunfu, who should represent their own side, was still struggling with clan affairs at the Council of Craftsmen. For Chief Official Tang Zu, Second Elder Tang Hongjun, and him who jointly recommended this rising star of the Tang Clan, wasn’t this action too cruel?

If it were not for Tang Luo who happened to have a pair of eyes that could see cultivation, who would know that the fierce killer, who could frighten children into silence, was actually a famous music master in Xiling, a seemingly weak woman?

Even after meeting several times, Tang Zhenghao had not felt a warrior’s aura from Yun Piaopiao. Such amazing Retractive Breath Technique astonished him.

The Chief Official Tang Zu looked at the Third Elder and said coldly, “This is his punishment.”

The deeper the love, the stricter the discipline. It was precisely because of the hope placed in this representative that Tang Zu could never forgive him, for such a lame way that the assassin had slipped into the core of Tang Clan.

Since the star acceptance ceremony, Yun Piaopiao has been coming in and out of the Council of Craftsmen in Wanyun Peak every day under the pretense of delivering food to Tang Cunfu. As a result, all the important military depots and array formations in Tang Clan might have been thoroughly seen by her. If Tang Luo had not detected it earlier, it would have become a catastrophe once open conflict broke out between the two clans.

“Just a moment of lust led to such serious consequences that he himself didn’t realize,” the Chief Official was full of anger when talking about it: “A man in a high position couldn’t even remove the charm. What a waste of years of training!”

As elderly members of the clan, they always held goodwill towards excellent juniors, which involved not only consanguinity but also the family spirit of inheritance.

Just like what countless ancestors of Tang Clan had done before, they taught their experience and unique skills to the juniors of the clan without any reservations. Thus, clan could grow stronger generation after generation. The so-called wealth and power of a family were not all due to loot accumulation. More often, they were due to outstanding individuals in the clan.

To the Chief Officials and others, Tang Cunfu was an outstanding junior. Seeing such a person fall for desire brought unimaginable anger.

Listening to this, the Third Elder knew that the Chief Official was determined to let Tang Cunfu realize his mistake. So he didn’t try to change his mind any further but just ate and drank on his own.

The taste was definitely that of the famous chef from Sangxian House. The food tasted lively and contained levels of flavors. Quality ingredients accompanied by quality culinary skills were indeed the best enjoyment for food lovers like Tang Zhenghao.

The conversations at the table had no hidden parts. Everything was said directly. Yet, these discussions frightened two kids, making them even drop their chopsticks to the floor without daring to breathe heavily.

Old Tang Hongtao glanced at the two and said with a smile, “Don’t be nervous, it will soon pass.”

Lil’ boy Tang Xing and lil’ girl Tang Zhen could only nod sheepishly, but they were still anxious.

…

In a small building at Wanyun Peak, the Council of Craftsmen,

The constantly working Tang Cunfu suddenly felt his left eye twitching and though his heart was thumping.

This sudden discomfort made him uneasy. “Left eye twitches for disaster, right eye twitches for fortune.”

Was some big event about to happen? Tang Cunfu wondered.

After some thought, the biggest event in the family lately was the battle at Yuxiling. Although he was in charge of the Council of Craftsmen, half of his attention lay on the battle front. Even though he did not participate directly, he was certain that Yuxiling was about to be lost.

Therefore, he constantly enhanced the defensive positions in the south, southeast, and southwest, in hopes of reinforcing the defense line before Yuxiling was broken.

But this sudden eye twitching made Tang Cunfu suddenly realize that there might be a problem with Yuxiling, and the family should prepare for it as soon as possible.

“Steward!” Tang Cunfu shouted toward the outside of the door, “Get the carriage ready immediately. I need to go to Xiangyun Valley.”

One should not handle affairs beyond one’s position. If such a sign appeared, he should inform the clan leader at the first time. However, he didn’t like Tang Zhi’s approach, so he wanted to inform the Chief Official about this ominous sign.

At the very least, he could let the Chief Official pay more attention to Yuxiling to prevent any changes.

He got on the carriage and rushed to Xiangyun Valley. Just recalling that he could see Yun Piaopiao, his heart surged with warmth.

He first thought that his feelings for Yun Piaopiao were out of desire and the reputation she had as the number one beauty of Xiling.

But after truly getting to know this woman, he realized that he had really fallen in love.

This woman, who had suffered half of her life, deserved someone who loved her. Since she was willing to bet everything on him, how could he let the woman he loved lose?

The coach stopped at the main entrance of the New Martial Hall, but he couldn’t hear the hustle and bustle of the banquet. Tang Cunfu’s heart sank. He wanted to rush in to investigate.

Two steel spears blocked his way at the entrance of the Martial Hall. They belonged to two guards.

“The commander has ordered that no one can enter or exit the Martial Hall during the banquet except for the invitation holders.”

Tang Cunfu slapped away the spears blocking his chest and said coldly to the guards blocking his way, “Don’t you recognize me? Step aside!”

The representative who had been in power for a long time naturally possessed a certain degree of prestige, even more so as his direct descendant. The two guards dared not to obstruct and watched as Tang Cunfu barged into the Martial Hall.

One guard wanted to pull the alarm in anger but was stopped by his companion, “This is representative Cunfu. He might be the next clan leader. Don’t you want to advance in your career?”
