462 Can You Reveal Your Secret Now?

Shen Ruojing and the others were waiting for the grand martial uncle to arrive.

The Fifth Senior Brother whispered to Chu Cimo, “Didn’t you just say that it was your eldest brother’s father-in-law who’s hiring people? Why is it the Bai family now? That violates the sect rules!”

Chu Cimo replied, “Don’t worry, it’s still my eldest brother’s father-in-law who’s hiring. My grandfather-in-law just helped out with a few words.”

Only then did the Fifth Senior Brother heave a sigh of relief. If it was the Bai family who was hiring, his punishment of kneeling for five days wouldn’t be the end of it.

Chu Cimo turned around and saw the worried expression on Old Master Bai’s face, so he said, “Grandfather, don’t worry. The grand martial uncle is also very good to me. Maybe he’ll hire someone for us after he comes!”

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Senior Brother who was still there sneered. “What a pipe dream! Who do you think you are? Can you make Grand Martial Uncle make an exception?”

Chu Cimo also scratched his head, feeling that it was unlikely, but still stubbornly said, “What if it works?”

Meanwhile, the grand martial uncle who was accompanied by the Eldest Senior Brother, finally walked out of the back area. As soon as he arrived, the Eldest Senior Brother pointed to Old Master Bai and said, “Elder, they’re over there!”

The Eldest Senior Brother stirred up trouble and said, “I heard that the Bai family is going to hire people to help Miss Shen’s father. Miss Shen is right there. She just told us off in front of everyone because I stopped Fifth Junior Brother. She even said that our Valor Gate is getting worse and worse…”

The people of Valor Gate always uphold the Valor Gate’s reputation. Hence, the grand martial uncle immediately became angry. “So what if Miss Shen is here? What qualifications does she have to point fingers at our Valor Gate? If she refuses to comply with our rules, she shall be banned! And this kind of person must be expelled and never allowed to enter the fighting arena again!”

After saying this, the eldest senior brother became even more pleased.

Although it was Shen Ruojing who was angry and said those words because he wanted to punish Chu Cimo earlier, why did she have to add those unnecessary words?

If those words were said by a senior of Valor Gate to their junior, it would be a lesson. But since they came from an outsider, this was a humiliation to Valor Gate.

The grand martial uncle would definitely be very angry!

Upon thinking of this, the eldest senior brother became even calmer.

He followed his grand martial uncle and walked over quickly.

As they approached, the grand martial uncle shouted loudly, “Who was just spouting off here, saying that our Valor Gate disciples are not as good as previous generations?!”

With this sentence, everyone looked over.

The grand martial uncle finally saw the only woman present…

He was stunned and stood there in a daze, wasn’t this his… Little Junior Sister?!

While he was in a daze, the eldest senior brother pointed at Shen Ruojing and said, “Master, it’s her who said it!”

Chu Cichen looked at Shen Ruojing.

This woman had sent him so many emails, so he already knew that she was the legendary junior martial uncle of the Valor Gate.

Therefore, there was no need to be nervous.

However, Jing Zhen suddenly stood in front of Shen Ruojing and blocked the grand martial uncle’s line of sight. At the same time, he glared at Chu Cichen and silently despised him in his heart.

(This son-in-law is really useless! He always fails to protect Jingjing at critical moments.)

Sensing his gaze, Chu Cichen asked, “What’s wrong?”

Old Master Bai also stood in front of Shen Ruojing and said, “Miss Shen didn’t say that each generation is worse than the last. She meant that your martial nephew is unreliable and obviously was targeting someone deliberately. Miss Shen merely asked if the Valor Gate didn’t distinguish between right and wrong when handling things.”

The eldest senior brother immediately replied, “Martial Uncle, everything I did was in accordance with the regulations and was not biased in any way. Why did she say that we didn’t distinguish between right and wrong when it is clear that our Valor Gate doesn’t cooperate with the four great families? She is clearly trying to force me to violate the rules!”

After speaking, he looked at the grand martial uncle and said, “Martial Uncle, you must help me make a decision!”

The grand martial uncle looked at Shen Ruojing and then at the eldest senior brother. Suddenly, he asked in a deep voice, “Did she say that you didn’t distinguish between right and wrong?”

“Well, it’s just because I didn’t allow them to hire bodyguards.” The eldest senior brother sighed, feeling that he had the situation under control.

But the next moment, a slap suddenly came and hit him directly, blasting him away!

After falling to the ground heavily, he looked up in disbelief and saw that his grand martial uncle was extremely angry. His grand martial uncle then spoke, “Since Miss Shen and Old Master Bai both say that you don’t distinguish between right and wrong, it must be your fault!”

He then looked at Old Master Bai and Shen Ruojing behind him and asked, “Miss Shen, what mistake did he make?”

Shen Ruojing calmly said, “My father wanted to hire two Valor Gate’s disciples as bodyguards. Little Fifth promised to help. However, this guy not only prevented it, but he also wanted to punish Little Fifth and ban us from entering the fighting venue again!”

The grand martial uncle was furious. If it were someone else who said this, he would have to consider who was telling the truth, but now he didn’t need to think about it. How could his junior sister lie?

This guy must be deliberately suppressing his fellow disciples!

Moreover, the grand martial uncle’s little junior sister was the true heir of the Valor Gate, and this guy actually dared to forbid her from entering the fighting venue again?

The grand martial uncle looked at the eldest senior brother, whose face was already swollen, and shouted, “Send him to the Reflection Hall and make sure he kneels there for ten days!”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Ruojing behind Old Master Bai and replied, “It turns out that it’s not the Bai family who needs people. How many people does Miss Shen’s father need? Let me arrange it and consider it as an apology for this matter!”

Old Master Bai was confused.

Why did it feel as though today’s Valor Gate was different from usual?

Chu Cimo felt extremely touched instantly!

His grand martial uncle actually treated him so, so, so well! It must have been because of him that his grand martial uncle broke the rules!

Hence, ten minutes later, Jing Zhen recruited four top-notch experts of the Valor Gate and left with them.

Chu Cimo still had to participate in the competition, so he escorted them to the door before going back.

Old Master Bai also tactfully bade farewell.

After everyone left, Jing Zhen coughed and said, “Um, four heroes, we’re counting on you for the safety of my wife and me from now on! Please take good care of us in the future!”

The four Valor Gate disciples had been repeatedly instructed by the grand martial uncle, so they immediately clasped their fists and said, “Mr. Jing, please rest assured!”

Jing Zhen smiled and said, “Shall we drive back?”

After speaking, he walked toward the parking spot. But as soon as he got in the car, Shen Ruojing already took the passenger seat, and Jing Zhen looked up and realized that Chu Cichen and the four Valor Gate disciples were still outside the car.

Jing Zhen asked, “What are you doing, Jingjing? We need to hurry back or your mother will worry. Why don’t you ride in Chu Cichen’s car? It’s a waste of time to take a detour if I have to send you.”

Shen Ruojing said, “Father, it is time to tell me your secret now.”

...

Jing Zhen sighed silently and looked at Shen Ruojing again. “Do I have to?”

“Yes.”

“…Okay.”
