"Mm, so soon? Did you get results on the matter I ordered you to investigate?" Ye Zhen asked when Niu Er entered the tent.
"Reporting to Marshal, there are only partial results! As for the largest target, after research and analysis, this subordinate felt that even at the cost of the brothers' lives, the chances of success were slim, so I temporarily gave up on it," Niu Er reported upon entering.
"Your decision was correct!"
"Completing the mission is important, but the brothers' lives are even more important! Every one of our brothers has a father and mother behind him, as well as a wife and children. If they die, what will happen to that whole family, young and old? Even with compensation to support them, once they lose their main pillar, life at home will certainly be hard. From now on, unless there is absolutely no alternative, you are not to sacrifice the brothers' lives to complete a mission," Ye Zhen said.
Niu Er's expression grew excited. "Thank you, Marshal, for your consideration. Being able to serve under you is a blessing those little bastards could not cultivate even over several lifetimes. Once I return, this subordinate will certainly convey the Marshal's intentions to them!"
"Mm."
Ye Zhen nodded lightly and took the jade slip Niu Er presented. Not long after his divine sense entered it, Ye Zhen's brows furrowed slightly.
"What is it?" Senior Sister Instructor Liao Feibai asked in surprise.
Ye Zhen handed her the jade slip. After Senior Sister Instructor Liao Feibai examined it carefully for a while, she looked up, still wearing a puzzled expression. "Junior Brother, the intelligence recorded here all seems perfectly normal?"
"Yes, everything is more normal than normal. But look at this record again. This sort of normal is not normal."
