I Can See Your Combat Power

Tang Luo shrugged at the chief’s complaint and replied: “You put it too seriously, Chief. I’ve just always liked digging to the bottom of everything. It’s all in the interest of doing my job well. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”

Even though Tang Zu was jokingly self-deprecating, he had voiced Tang Luo’s underlying doubts. Considering Tang Zhi’s cunning and deceptive nature, he would never think of a plan to affront the Xiao family at a critical moment.

All allied collapse happened in a blink of an eye. If Tang Luo was in Xiao Jinlin’s position and moving to the Mi Clan meant gambling the future of the Xiao family, then why not ally with the Mi Clan and catch the Tang Clan off guard?

This was the crux of his continuous questioning of Tang Zu because he felt that the plan had too many potential problems and the gains were too small. It didn’t seem like a plan that Tang Zhi would come up with.

He also thought about how, recently, Clan Chief Tang Zu and second elder Tang Hongjun had been unduly flattering the clan leader, which is why he was scrutinizing so closely.

“Of course, Xiao Ziyu will die, but those of the Xiao Family who bear the bloodline of the Fire God will not die. Have I explained myself clearly?” Clan Chief Tang Zu said lightly.

Tang Luo nodded, definitively stating: “I understand now. I will give my all in the battle at the summit of Red Cloud Mountain.”

After a moment of thought, he asked the two of them: “Will I need to shatter his body?”

The stark contrast in his responses once again made Tang Zu and Tang Feng burst out laughing. The latter helplessly replied: “Just fight normally. No need to be so deliberate.”

“Alright then.” Tang Luo acquiesced easily, and then asked: “Do you gentlemen have any other business?”

Tang Luo himself did not need to sleep. To speed up the training of the apprentices at the Marshal Star Pavilion, he was teaching in shifts, which helped reduce the accommodation pressure and greatly accelerated the teaching progress.

Seeing the students of the Marshal Star Pavilion have been waiting quite a while, he didn’t want to continue lingering there with the two of them. Moreover, ever since revealing his bloodline ability, Tang Feng has been persistently trying to get him to take over the Wind Media Department. Just passing on the origins of the Yun Music Mansion, plus the personal attendance and numerous case files, wasn’t it all just to prove his diligence?

With or without thinking, it was clear that Tang Feng would certainly go into his usual spiel once they finished their formal discussion, talking about his extraordinary talents in intelligence and added advantages from his bloodline ability. His ears were practically cocooned from hearing all these repeatedly these days.

Even though he found Tang Feng’s words reasonable, the Marshal Star Pavilion was in the process of rebuilding under vital circumstances. He didn’t have the time to manage the Wind Media Department, so he could only decline.

As two of the most important figures in the Tang Clan, they faced such an almost dismissive inquiry for the first time.

Due to being busy with numerous tasks, Clan Chief Tang Zu was about to get up to leave when he heard an angry Tang Feng standing up and exclaim: “Must one only remain here if one has business to attend to? Can one not simply enjoy a cup of tea?”

Tang Feng was extremely frustrated. This time, because of the Yun Music Mansion incident, he had come up with many ways to utilize Tang Luo’s unique eyes. He had wanted to discuss these possibilities in-depth with Tang Luo after the official business was over, but it was clear that Tang Luo wasn’t eager to engage directly.

Though young, Tang Luo was very assertive in making decisions. From Tang Feng’s understanding of him, once Tang Luo made a decision, he would never adjust his pace to accommodate others, regardless of their rank or status. He treated everyone the same.

His attitude towards Tang Feng was the same as towards the young members of the Wind Media department. It seemed like his aim to draw Tang Luo into the Wind Media Department had been foiled again tonight. It was enough to make one grind their teeth in resentment. With a pair of eyes that could see spiritual power, Tang Luo alone could outperform a whole room of Wind Media agents. But here he was, insistent on embarking on martial combat. Was this something a smart person should engage in!?

Unfazed by Tang Feng’s anger, Tang Luo only shrugged: “Alright, alright. Minister, please continue your seat.” He then called to the housekeeper outside: “Uncle Fu, remember to refill Minister Tang’s tea. He can stay as long as he wants.”

He actually intended to dismiss him with a housekeeper!?

“I don’t need it!” Tang Feng, who abruptly stood up, locked his eyes with Tang Luo and said angrily: “Since Minister Luo is so busy, I shouldn’t further disturb him. I shall take my leave!”

“See you off without delay.” Tang Luo did not even bother to lift his eyes, he just gestured toward the exit.

As for the old geezer who had depleted his virility, Tang Luo had no reason to be polite.

Tang Feng, who initially thought his display of anger would undoubtedly lead to some conciliatory response, was suddenly dumbfounded, pointing cursingly at Tang Luo: “You, you, you.”

The situation had drastically diverged from his expectations, creating an absurdly awkward scene; Minister Feng could hardly save himself face.

Seeing the uncompromising stance of the two, the Clan Chief Tang Zu shook his head helplessly, and pulled Tang Feng out the door. As they were leaving, he consoled Tang Feng saying: “Minister, forget about it, let’s drop the matter. After all, Tang Luo has handed over the significant credit of discovering Yun Music Mansion and Yun Piaopiao without a second thought. It shows that he still has Wind Media in his heart. It’s just that now, the Marshal Star Pavilion is freshly established. Wait until everything has stabilised and discuss it with him again. The situation will undoubtedly change.”

Everyone sees different things based on their own perspectives. Due to viewing angles, the beauty you see might be invisible to me, and the sights I enjoy might be elusive to you.

As for those in power, they always consider their demands as the most important. Take, for instance, the Marshal Star Pavilion and the Wind Media Department – which is more important?

In Tang Feng’s eyes, of course, the Wind Media Department was more important, which is why he believed Tang Luo should abandon the Marshal Star Pavilion and join the Wind Media Department. In doing so, not only could he best hide his identity, but he would also be privy to countless pieces of intelligence, becoming invincible.

And with a pair of eyes capable of seeing spiritual power, the intelligence capabilities of the Wind Media Department would undoubtedly rise to a new level.

So, when Tang Luo neglected him due to the establishment of the Marshal Star Pavilion, he became incredibly irritated.

To him, what Tang Luo was doing was a colossal waste. He was merely setting up martial arts planning for a group of martial artists who at most had emerged from the Mortal Realm. Couldn’t any martial arts researcher do that? Why did it have to be Tang Luo?

After all, they were just some outsider martial artists. Could they possibly be more important than the clan’s intelligence center!
