I Can See Your Combat Power

: Chapter Five Hundred Eighty-One: Sin

No one would doubt Tang Cunfu’s loyalty to the Tang Clan, for the representatives of the branches are elected by the heads of all the branches to represent those accomplished clan members who have established their own households.

The position of Clan Regulator has always been elected from the representatives of the branch families, and even in the election for the clan leader, the representatives of the branches are the most powerful contenders.

During the years Tang Cunfu served as a representative, he won the hearts of most of the heads of the branch clans. Therefore, when he proposed to replace Tang Zhi, he received so much support.

Tang Cunfu’s tireless help to the clan members gave him unlimited praise throughout the clan. Even the soldiers of the divine military subconsciously held their hands upon hearing his order, which is evident.

After calming the clan members, Tang Cunfu walked towards the main table and greeted each of the people at the table: “Cunfu pays his respects to the Clan Regulator, the elder, and the Third Elder.”

He then turned his head towards Tang Xing and nodded, and then said to Tang Zhen: “Your father’s condition has improved significantly, and he will be completely healed in a few more days, so there is no need to worry too much.”

“Thank you, Representative Cunfu.” Receiving the news of her father’s imminent recovery, Tang Zhen’s face showed joy and she thanked him repeatedly.

Tang Cunfu managed a weak smile as a response. Taking a deep breath, he looked towards the peerless beauty not far away, and said with a bitter smile, “Piaopiao, you should have told me earlier.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yun Piaopiao didn’t want to look at Tang Cunfu. Her eyes were full of anger. She coldly said, “Told you earlier? You mean, you could have taken action during the Star Acceptance Ceremony? Tang Cunfu, it’s a shame you aren’t the head of the Wind Media Department!”

The mission she received was indeed to infiltrate North Mountain and stay on standby, and she had completed this mission very well. As for her union with Tang Cunfu, it was purely an accident.

Only she didn’t expect that this accident almost ruined her twenty-year plan. She admits it, it was because her skills were inferior to others. But she hates it!

“If you had told me earlier, I would have helped you escape, at least you!” The situation had come to this, and Tang Cunfu no longer wanted to argue about right and wrong; he wanted to tell the woman not far away his true feelings.

His words made Yun Piaopiao stunned. She turned her face to meet Tang Cunfu’s passionate gaze. Deep love was just like the first sight, and she believed that Tang Cunfu had not lied to her.

Because he really had no reason to lie in a situation where he had all the advantages, let alone say such rebellious words, she was the one who had the lives of a dozen Tang clan members on her hands.

There were tears in her eyes, but her mouth curved up slightly. She thought, if she died like this, it would be okay.

However, in contrast to the woman’s satisfaction, the Clan Regulator was filled with rage, and coldly said, “Representative Cunfu, do you know what you are saying!?”

“This representative knows very well, your Regulator!” Tang Cunfu’s eyes met the Regulator’s anger without yielding: “If the Regulator can wipe out the clan members’ families without informing them, wouldn’t it be permissible for clan members to help them escape?”

“Ridiculous!” The Regulator didn’t believe that Tang Cunfu would directly contradict him. He angrily shouted: “Is this your attitude towards this matter?”

Seeing the dispute between the two, the Third Elder Tang Zhenghao quickly intervened to calm the Regulator, then turned to Tang Cunfu and explained: “We did not intentionally hide this from you. But Yun Piaopiao is not only a top assassin, but also the head of the Mi Clan’s Special Wind Media. If we had informed you from the beginning, how could we have deceived this woman and captured Yunyin Manor in one swoop?”

Yun Piaopiao’s eyes softened again. From the conversation between the three, she realized that her lover had not indeed betrayed her. In this way, she had no regrets.

But this explanation did not move Tang Cunfu. He still said coldly: “I don’t care who Piaopiao was before. I only know that she is now part of my family, she is my wife. Whether it was in the past or now, her crimes are my crimes. Today, you bypass the clan head to judge the family members. Tomorrow, will you want to ignore the clan rules and set up a private court? Is this the style of the Tang Family Regulator and Elders!?”

The mediator was also engulfed by the rage, Tang Cunfu not only showed no gratitude, but Tang Zhenghao was also dragged in.

The Regulator Tang Zu did not expect that a junior he had highly valued would confront him repeatedly today because of a woman. Suppressing his anger, he coldly asked, “Then what does Representative Cunfu intend to do?”

“This is my family matter, naturally I will handle it,” Tang Cunfu unceremoniously replied, “Even if they really are the Mi Clan’s special Wind Media, the living ones are more valuable than the dead ones!”

“Huh.” Tang Zu gave a cold laugh, “Does Representative Cunfu know that these women are all highly skilled assassins? Their cultivation is not to be underestimated. Even the elite of the Divine Military dare not say for certain they would win against them. Especially that Miss Yun, a master of concealed strength, and our Tang Yi couldn’t take her down despite fighting with her for hundreds of rounds. Do you intend to catch her alive?”

A living person is always more valuable than a dead one, but it also depends on the level of danger this living person poses. Some people are more reassuring when they have stopped breathing.

Having seen Yun Piaopiao’s combat power, Tang Zu only then understood why she was referred to as the number one assassin in Xiling, even the few Martial Ancestors of Tang Clan had fallen at her hands.

Her status as a Martial Ancestor was just the foundation. A master of the soft technique with accomplished concealed strength, and an invisible assassin with unparalleled ability to hide. The Tang Clan’s Martial Ancestors were already exceptionally good at close combat, but Tang Yi was at a disadvantage when facing Yun Piaopiao. His strength was reduced to a third when he struck Yun Piaopiao, and her skill in countering and transforming strength was near its peak. He lost out regularly in close combat. If it weren’t for the fact that Tang Yi’s spiritual power was deeper than Yun Piaopiao’s, he would have been defeated long ago.

Though both of them were in the center of the banquet and could not fully unleash their offensive power for fear of hurting their own people, observing one thing gave them a clear understanding of the whole. Even if they could fully unleash their power, it would take more than a thousand moves for Tang Yi to take down Yun Piaopiao.

And the greater likelihood was that Tang Yi simply couldn’t catch up with Yun Piaopiao. Because in addition to her concealed strength specifically designed to counter the Tang Clan, her ghost-like movements made it hard to track her.

It was as if she was in sync with the ways of Tian Ji. Watching Yun Piaopiao fight was like watching a bizarre dance. Sometimes it was clear that her weight was tilted forward, but she was actually retreating. Her movements were elusive, and it was impossible to distinguish between advancing and retreating, and her speed was extremely fast.

If it weren’t for the formation that had sealed the entire banquet hall, Yun Piaopiao might have already disappeared, and the Xuanji Jade wouldn’t need to be activated.

How could Clan Regulator Tang Zu allow such a powerful assassin to live?

Naturally, Tang Cunfu knew that the Regulator would never agree to let Yun Piaopiao go, but he couldn’t bear to watch the woman he loved die in front of him. Therefore, the only way for Yun Piaopiao to survive was to surrender willingly.

“Piaopiao.” Tang Cunfu turned to the woman in white and pleaded, “Believe me, as long as you disperse your abilities and surrender, I swear I will make sure you all remain safe!”
