354 Valor Gate’s Martial ‘Uncle’ (2)
Chu Cimo started. “What?”
“The Shen Zhong of the Shen Family looked for our Valor Gate and was willing to pay a high price for us to deal with the Chu Family. He wants us to break the legs of your big brother, your sister-in-law, you, and your wife!”
After hearing the words ‘Valor Gate’, Chu Cimo clenched his fists tightly. His throat felt a little parched. “Did the Valor Gate agree?”
“Yes.”
“…” Chu Cimo fell silent. His heart felt like it was being clenched by an invisible large hand!
His fifth senior brother seemed to have sensed his emotions. He then spoke in rage and indignance, “Back then you were forced to leave the Valor Gate and you had to flee back to the capital. I’ve always been enduring my rage! Eldest senior brother keeps targeting you deliberately just because your talent is higher than his! He is afraid that a situation like that of martial ‘uncle’ might appear once more!”
The martial ‘uncle’ of Valor Gate was the disciple that the current Sect Leader valued the most. This was because his talent was extraordinary, and the sect leader had designated him to be the next leader.
In their generation, Chu Cimo was a little junior. His talent was supreme as well and he had received praise from the sect elders. One could say that he had a bright future.
In fact, the martial ‘uncle’ had even sent word back saying that Chu Cimo should be nurtured properly.
Just when everyone felt that their martial ‘uncle’ wanted to accept Chu Cimo as a personal disciple to take over his mantle…
All of a sudden, Chu Cimo quit the Valor Gate and left the capital. After that, he vanished completely. Everyone said that he returned to inherit his rich family businesses and that he, as a rich young master, wasn’t able to endure the sufferings one had to endure when it came to martial arts training.
Everyone felt pity for this genius.
Only a few people knew that Chu Cimo was forced away by his eldest senior brother!
Chu Cimo didn’t say anything and the other party continued, “Little junior brother, eldest senior brother clearly knows that you belong to the Chu Family, yet he still accepted the job. He doesn’t care about past relations at all. The sect leader won’t cleanse the sect and basically wouldn’t care about these. If you still don’t return, I’m afraid that the Valor Gate is going to oppose your Chu Family!”
Chu Cimo’s heart wavered slightly.
He was finally moved by the next sentence spoken by his fifth senior brother. “Little junior bro, think about it carefully. If you didn’t leave back then and were still the little junior brother of Valor Gate, how would the four great families dare to not give you face if your Chu Family wanted to develop in the capital?”
They naturally wouldn’t dare.
Chu Cimo thought of how his brother had lowered his pride to cooperate with the Shen Family but was rejected. He then recalled how his sister-in-law and big brother stood out relentlessly when Shanshan had been bullied.
After that, he pursed his lips and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Fifth senior brother, it isn’t that I don’t want to go back. But…how can I go back? Those who betrayed the Valor Gate can never return!”
The Valor Gate wasn’t a place where he could just visit because he wanted to!
Back when he decided to leave, he was already branded with a mark that signified that he would never be able to return!
When his fifth senior brother heard this, he replied, “This rule is deliberately targeted at others, but there is a solution you can use.”
Chu Cimo started slightly, but he soon thought of something. “Are you saying…”
“That’s right. The once-a-year Fighting King Competition is about to start. If you can become the champion, you will be able to return with glory. At that time, even eldest senior brother won’t be able to block your radiance. Little junior bro, I’ve registered for you. Work hard!”
Chu Cimo fell silent for a very long time.
He turned his head and looked at the villa behind him.
From afar, he could see Matriarch Chu preparing lunch for them. He could also see Bai Shanshan’s gentle smile and the redness on her face due to the frostbite.
If he was still the little junior brother of the Valor Gate, the Bai Family wouldn’t have dared to bully Bai Shanshan. At the very least, Xiaoqi wouldn’t be looked down on by others when she was in school…
Moreover, the Shen Family would never dare to insult his big brother again!
The Chu Family had raised him and now, it was about time he did something for the family!
The Valor Gate had always emphasized on the sentence – might makes right!
Since that was the case, he shall return with strength and give the Chu Family a guarantee!
Chu Cimo’s gaze turned resolute. “Okay fifth senior brother. I won’t disappoint your hopes!”
After hanging up, Chu Cimo rubbed his cheek and regained his usual smiling face. After that, he entered the house and was going to continue with his ‘frivolous young master lifestyle’ again.
Once he entered, Chu Cichen’s sharp senses made him turn over.
Chu Cimo immediately straightened his body. “Big brother, what are you looking at? Is it because I’m more handsome than you?”
Chu Cimo kept feeling that his younger brother was keeping a secret from him…However, he didn’t say anything and retracted his gaze. After that, he ignored Chu Cimo as he headed upstairs to his room.
–
Outside the Chu Manor.
Shen Ruojing stood in the distance as she turned her head back to look at the Chu Manor.
Earlier, she had made a lame excuse and went out. Now, she actually didn’t know where to go.
Should she…visit the Valor Gate to see that old man?
It had been a long time since she went to visit the old sect leader.
But after that, Shen Ruojing shook her head.
It was better not to go, or the other party would want her to become his successor and lead the sect again. She only wanted to be the carefree little martial ‘uncle’ without worrying about the Valor Gate’s matters. Wouldn’t a life of retirement be good?
Why would she want to make herself suffer?
Also, no one liked to be nagged. Just when she abolished this notion, her mobile phone rang. After she glanced at it, she discovered the words ‘old man’ on the caller ID, and she immediately felt a headache.
Ahhhh~ Why did that old man suddenly call her?
Thinking of his age, Shen Ruojing still decided to pick up. “Hello.”
“Little lass, you won’t look for me if I don’t look for you? Are you still in Sea City?”
Shen Ruojing replied guiltily, “Ah…correct, correct, correct.”
“My birthday will arrive soon. Are you not coming over to celebrate?”
Shen Ruojing wanted to reject it, but the other party suddenly sighed. “I’m so pitiful. I accepted a genius disciple, but she doesn’t even want to show up at my grand 80th birthday celebration. What sin have I committed?!”
Shen Ruojing. “…Stop. I’ll go!”
“Good. Anyway, Lass, you have to come back! Oh right, remember to prepare some good wine for your master.”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
Just when the other party wanted to hang up, Shen Ruojing suddenly spoke, “Oh right, Master. Can you help me with something?”
The other party angrily scolded, “You address me as ‘old man’ if you don’t have something you need my help with, but ‘master’ once you need my help. Your personality truly is…forget it, just say it. What’s the matter?”
Shen Ruojing recalled her grandfather’s photo. “Help me investigate someone. I have the photo from when he was younger.”
The other party immediately spoke, “Even if you only have the bone ashes, I will still be able to help you investigate! It’s fine as long as the person you are looking for is in the capital. Don’t forget, our Valor Gate is the number one dark force of the capital! There’s no one we cannot find! Quickly send the photo over!”
“Okay.”
Shen Ruojing hung up and sent the photo of her grandfather when he was young.
In a short five minutes, the old man called her again!
Had he already found the answer?!
That was quick!
