I Can See Your Combat Power - Chapter 593: Value
Even though the other party had witnessed the attack of the immortal bird feather guards with their own eyes, it was possible that they had not seen it as clearly. They proposed this theory only due to speculation.
Cai Buchu was very flustered at this moment, and though he described the feathers of the Qingling Falcon and the ambush in great detail, he actually had no confidence in his heart. This was because he had never witnessed it with his own eyes.
However, even if ten-thousand fears arose in his heart, he had to force himself to fully explain his deductions, hoping to gain trust from the clan leader and the head of the clan.
But the feeling of guilt is something one can hardly hide from others, especially those in high positions, who have seen all kinds of people.
The young Wind Media practitioner couldn’t even fool Tang Ming, let alone Tang Zu and Tang Zhi.
“The young man is ignorant and boastful! Take him to the punishment office for punishment!” The Great Elder Tang Zu said coldly, without any hesitation to the judgment of Cai Buchu’s behavior.
At the mention of the punishment office, Cai Buchu’s whole body trembled. For someone from his clan status, it was as terrifying as the hall of Hades. He would rather be seriously injured and retire from a mission than be sent to the punishment office once.
Just as he was feeling desperate, he heard Clan Leader Tang Zhi say to the clan guard who was called into the council hall to take him away, “Wait.”
“Great Elder, I think this young man’s analysis is quite good. Whether it’s boastful or insightful, it depends on the final result.” Tang Zhi smiled, “Otherwise, wouldn’t we bury a talent?”
The clan leader’s plea made Cai Buchu’s eyes brim with tears. The bond towards his family was elevated again, and he wished he could die for his clan. He was so moved that he knelt on the ground.
Great Elder Tang Zu understood that Clan Leader Tang Zhi had no personal bias. It was likely that the young man’s speculation could become reality.
That is to say, the Great Elder Tang Siyuan and several Martial Ancestors pursuing the attack may be in danger!
His heart was immediately alarmed. At this moment, Great Elder Tang Zu had no time to bother with punishment of Cai Buchu. He immediately stood up and said to Tang Zhi, “We’ll send someone to support the Great Elder immediately.”
Given Tang Siyuan’s wounds had just begun to heal, he was not suitable for combat. If he were to be ambushed and injured again, the elderly elder who had already started to decline might directly start to fade away. Tang Zu would not allow this to happen.
As Great Elder Tang Zu hastily left the council hall, Clan Leader Tang Zhi turned to Cai Buchu who was still kneeling on the ground and said, “You can stand up now.”
The young Wind Media just got up and was about to thank the clan leader. He only heard Tang Zhi ask casually, “What is your current position in the Wind Media?”
“Lord Clan Leader, my name is Cai Buchu. In the Wind Media Department, I am responsible for encoding and decoding intelligence transmissions. My code name is Fool.” The young man, who felt deeply indebted to the clan leader, spilled out all the information promptly, not even hiding the most secret code name in the Wind Media Department.
But the next sentence the clan leader said made him suffocate once more.
“So, you who are responsible for decoding, have never learned any far-viewing techniques because of your position, so how did you see the feathers of the Luan Feng above the clouds, let alone depict it clearly?”
Tang Zhi’s calm question made Cai Buchu’s legs soften, and he knelt down again, shaking uncontrollably.
The Tang Clan’s Wind Media Department is a very strict organization. Wind Media practitioners have different skills according to their roles. The Wind Media responsible for watching and forecasting have developed pupil techniques and can observe situations up to twenty miles away at most.
But this pupil technique is not something every Wind Media must have, especially the Wind Media who are responsible for decoding and encoding, because they mostly work nearby. It’s not worth practicing far-seeing techniques, so he had no way of seeing the feathers of Luan Feng above the clouds.
Theory analysis can be right or wrong, but without eyewitness confirmation, mere speculation is a big taboo in Wind Media. Regardless of whether his strategy is wrong or right, he will be completely expelled from the Wind Media Department because Tang Feng would never allow an imprecise Wind Media to stay in the Wind Media Department.
Cai Buchu was even sadder at this moment than when he was about to be punished earlier. The thought of being expelled by the Wind Media Department made him unable to stop weeping, but he didn’t have a word to defend himself.
Having shown such a lack of professionalism in front of the clan leader, he wished he could atone with his death.
In fact, Tang Zhi had this question as soon as Cai Buchu began speaking. He didn’t ask at the time for two reasons: first, because Elder Tang Zu was present. If he had asked at that time and gotten this result, this child’s life might be in danger.
Second, he believed that since the Mi Clan dared to dispatch an elite unit to bypass North Mountain, they must be very confident in these bird feather guards. Normal logic could not be applied here. After all, Mi Hu, the head of the Mi Clan, was personally leading the charge, and the other high-ranking members of the Mi Clan would not have been idle.
The fear did not come from the Luan Birds, but from the people riding on the Luan Birds!
The biggest reason he was willing to believe Cai Buchu’s judgment was that he didn’t believe the Mi Clan would dispatch a troop of immortal bird feather guard risk being chased by Martial Ancestors to carry out a surprise attack on the rear of the battlefield.
From his understanding of Mi Jin, the loud allied forces on the front battlefield were just a feint. The truly powerful force was this immortal bird feather guard that bypassed North Mountain!
The Mi Clan, a prominent clan, and hundreds of powerful figures from the seven major families, allied together just to allow this elite squad to achieve its goal. If this team were able to ambush the Great Elder and several Martial Ancestors, it wouldn’t surprise Tang Zhi.
But he had to warn this young man Cai Buchu because he had used an incorrect method of intelligence analysis, but had somehow got the right result. This could potentially lead him astray on his future path in Wind Media.
“Get up, silly boy. You luckily got it right this time, but next time you might not be so lucky.” Tang Zhi said to the weeping Cai Buchu in a calm voice, “As intelligence personnel, you should prioritize accurate information, not overly rely on personal judgment. I hope that the intelligence you distribute in the future will have a hundred percent accuracy rate, so as to live up to your code name of ‘Fool’.”
That Tang Feng assigned him to transmit this intelligence shows just how much he appreciated this young man. Tang Feng was known as ‘Fool’ when he was in Wind Media.
As the successor to the director’s code name, Tang Zhi believes that this young man must have his unique talents. He wouldn’t want to ruin a good seedling due to one rash judgment.
Cai Buchu lifted his head, wanting to thank the clan leader, but he could only gibber when his words reached his mouth and he couldn’t stop crying. If the clan leader’s earlier speech had pulled him from the punishment of the law, then this pardon was rescuing his career, and giving him the most valuable lesson.
Compared with the latter, the former was insignificant. It was supposed to be a happy event, but why could he not stop his tears?
Perhaps an orphan like him had never thought that he would receive such care from a clan leader.
It must be so.
The whimpering turned into loud crying, and Cai Buchu felt he was very disgraceful!
