Elder Tang got out of bed, and then Tang Feifei's father, Tang Jiye; her uncle, Tang Shouye; and the head of the Tang family's intelligence system, all arrived together, reporting in detail everything that had happened.
After listening to the intelligence officer's report, Elder Tang, who was in the middle of eating, slowly set down his chopsticks.
He then looked at the head of the intelligence system with a hint of surprise and confirmed, "What did you just say? Feifei killed a Fourth-Order Evil God last night?"
Hearing Elder Tang's question, the intelligence officer hurriedly replied, "Elder, you heard correctly."
"Last night, Miss Feifei commanded and led an operation to encircle and exterminate an Evil God, successfully killing a Fourth-Order Evil God."
Hearing the words of the intelligence officer, Elder Tang's gaze suddenly became a bit more profound.
He leaned back in his chair and was silent, lost in thought.
Since he was not speaking, obviously no one else at the dining table dared to utter a word. Thus, for a moment, the atmosphere at the table chilled.
At the table, the most anxious to speak was Uncle Tang. He glanced at the silent Elder Tang, then at his big brother, who was observing the situation with a demeanor mirroring the elder's... and desperately made eye signals to the intelligence officer.
'Ask him! Ask! Inquire what the Elder is thinking!'
The intelligence officer understood Uncle Tang's gaze but... dared not to speak.
After all, this was Elder Tang!
The head of the "Fengtian Faction!" The First Deputy Speaker of the Eighth Sanctuary Supreme Council! The second most powerful person in the entire Eighth Sanctuary!
Many were above the intelligence officer, but there was only one person above Elder Tang.
What was he in front of Elder Tang to dare disturb him...
Therefore, he could only pretend not to understand Uncle Tang's hints, even making a confused expression at Uncle Tang.
Uncle Tang thought he genuinely didn't understand, so hurriedly made eye signals again.
Perhaps because the gestures he made were too exaggerated, even Elder Tang became distracted and noticed.
Elder Tang came back to his senses and sharply fixed his gaze on Uncle Tang. Then he paused, and in a weathered voice, said slowly, "Shouye, share your thoughts."
Uncle Tang was visibly taken aback, probably not expecting to be called out.
But in the Tang household, Elder Tang's word was law, so Uncle Tang had no choice but to analyse the situation bravely,
"I think... this event is a good thing for Feifei."
"It's also somewhat beneficial to our Tang family."
"Huang Shangzong just objected to Feifei becoming the Deputy Speaker, and he even proposed that Feifei prove herself, yet she went ahead and accomplished such a grand feat."
"This clearly slaps his face while boosting our Tang family's prestige."
"I'd like to see if he dares to target our Feifei again."
Hearing Uncle Tang's analysis, Elder Tang shook his head with a touch of disappointment, then emotionlessly turned his gaze to Tang Feifei's father, Tang Jiye.
"Jiye, your turn to speak."
Tang Jiye seemed to truly inherit Elder Tang's stern facade, of course... Tang Feifei also inherited her father's and grandfather's excellent qualities.
With a stoic face, Tang Jiye said, "My thoughts differ from the second brother's. After advancing to Fourth Order, Feifei really should have kept a low profile for a while, but she insisted on becoming the Deputy Speaker."
"After becoming the Deputy Speaker, she has drawn considerable attention; it's not necessarily a good thing."
"She was originally the one the Tang family was focusing on grooming, able to reach the peak step by step."
"Now, being so high-profile, it's like the tallest tree in the forest that is most likely struck by the wind. It's easy for issues to arise..."
He paused for a moment, his face showing a hint of conflict.
After struggling internally for three or four seconds, he then spoke with somewhat complex eyes, "Additionally, what surprised me the most about last night's operation was Qiu Tu..."
