357 Enemies Meet

Shen Ruojing slowly walked with Chu Cimo as they headed in. After that, she caught sight of her eldest senior brother coming over.

Not only was he alone, but he even brought a group of people. It was a boisterous scene. Those who didn’t know the truth might assume that these people were here for a fight!

The eldest senior brother shouted, “Little…”

Before he could complete his sentence, he saw his little junior sister, Shen Ruojing, shooting a glare at him.

After that, she took two steps over quickly and walked past him.

The eldest senior brother. “…”

He was dumbfounded.

What sort of situation was this?

Chu Cimo turned his head back exactly at this instant and saw Shen Ruojing walking past him, while his eldest martial uncle was staring right at him.

Chu Cimo’s earlier disappointed heart began to grow agitated once more.

His eldest martial uncle must have recognized him!

But back when he left Valor Gate, he must have truly disappointed his eldest martial uncle too much. This was why his eldest martial uncle couldn’t acknowledge him out in the open. However, he saw his eldest martial uncle stretching his finger out.

Was this a sign of cheering him on?

Chu Cimo’s eyes immediately brightened as he nodded at his martial uncle.

After that, he saw his eldest martial uncle turning stiffly and heading to the entrance.

When the guards there saw the eldest martial uncle, all of them were stunned and immediately stood up straight. The other disciples of the Valor Gate there also stood up respectively. The eldest martial uncle glanced around and grunted, “Hmm, check things properly and don’t allow anyone with bad intentions to enter.”

“Yes!”

They had thought that the eldest martial uncle had some instructions for them. But they hadn’t expected that after he said this, he immediately turned and brought his group of people away.

Everyone. “??”

What was happening?

Chu Cimo had an unfathomable look on his face. He faintly felt some joy in his heart when he saw the shock on the faces of others. However, his pride and arrogance couldn’t be displayed openly. Hence, he could only whisper to Shen Ruojing, “Sis-in-law, did you see that? That’s the eldest martial uncle of Valor Gate! Do you know what he is here for?”

Shen Ruojing. “…You know?”

“Naturally!” Chu Cimo’s words caused Shen Ruojing to almost feel that her identity was exposed. After that, she saw him lifting his chin and spoke with emotion, “My eldest martial uncle specially came here to look for me!”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

Her lips twitched. “You are actually acquainted with the eldest martial uncle of Valor Gate?”

Chu Cimo lowered his voice. “Sis-in-law, I’ll tell you honestly. Actually, I have some status here!”

He stood up straight and lifted his chin slightly. “A few years ago, I was studying at a university in the capital and joined Valor Gate by chance. At that time, everyone felt that I had extraordinary talent, and I soon became the famous ‘little junior brother’ of the sect. Also, the martial uncles here didn’t accept me as their disciple because they wanted the ‘little martial uncle’ to accept me! It was a pity that my little martial ‘uncle’ hadn’t appeared during the time I was staying here until I left.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

She began to survey Chu Cimo from top to bottom.

She had indeed heard of this matter.

A few years ago, Old Man Hong called her to say that he had discovered a good seedling and was preparing to let her accept a disciple. In the future, even if she didn’t want to manage the Valor Gate, this disciple of hers could manage it.

Sadly, back then, she had her mind set on retiring in Sea City and she loathed the days when she fought and killed. Hence, she just told the old man to do what he wanted, but he shouldn’t bother her.

She then heard the old man saying that this seedling was from an influential family, and he wasn’t able to take the suffering, so he quit the sect and went back to inherit the family’s business.

Could it be that this person was Chu Cimo?

Shen Ruojing raised her brows and surveyed Chu Cimo once again.

Although this fellow looked unreliable on the surface, he was still Chu Cichen’s younger brother. Since he had chosen to join Valor Gate, how could he have quit because he couldn’t take the suffering from practicing martial arts?

This was especially so when the two of them joined forces to rescue Bai Shanshan. Also, when he climbed the Yan Manor’s walls at night to beat Yan Zihao, his movements were agile and nimble. From this, one could see that he had not slacked off practicing martial arts all these years.

However, he kept looking like a silkpants that loved to slack. There should be some secret behind this.

When Shen Ruojing was pondering, her eldest martial brother had brought his men away.

Just when she was preparing to roam the place, Chu Cimo called her as he turned. “Don’t move around randomly. The people here are from the various sects in the pugilistic world, and things can be very chaotic. You are also quite good-looking, so how should I give my big brother an explanation if something happened to you?”

“…”

Shen Ruojing didn’t mind it either, so she simply chose to follow Chu Cimo around.

The two of them walked around this underground arena. All of a sudden, cold laughter rang out from the side. “Aiyo, quickly come and take a look at who has come?”

After that, a few people appeared and blocked their path.

Shen Ruojing didn’t recognize these people, so she looked at Chu Cimo. And as expected, he was frowning. He subconsciously stood protectively before Shen Ruojing and warned, “Fourth senior brother, what are you doing?”

The man in the lead immediately replied, “Hey, don’t address me wrongly. You are a disciple that has left, so you are not qualified to call me ‘fourth senior brother’.”

The expression of one of the men beside him changed after seeing Chu Cimo and Shen Ruojing. His voice immediately grew heavy. “People from the Chu Family? Fourth Martial Brother, they are the people I paid money for. I want you to teach them a lesson, and I didn’t expect to encounter them here. Can you get your men to come over and cripple their legs for me?!”

The lighting underground was dim, so Shen Ruojing only discovered that he was Shen Wanying’s big brother, Shen Cong, after he had spoken. Back at the filming set, they encountered each other when he came to save Shen Wanying.

When the Fourth Senior Brother heard this, he had a look of difficulty on his face. “Mr. Shen, don’t be anxious. We have our own rules here and we have to ensure the safety of participants. We only discovered that Chu Cimo actually participated in the competition after we had accepted your job.”

Shen Cong immediately asked, “What now?”

Fourth Senior Brother laughed. “No worries. We will execute the mission the moment the competition ends.”

Shen Cong was satisfied now and mocked, “When Mr. Chu rejected my family’s offers, I thought that the Chu Family was truly unafraid of anything in the world. I didn’t expect that you guys would fear death so much. For the sake of wanting to avoid being targeted by us, your family actually sent you here to participate in the competition. Heh, you will soon learn how cruel things on the stage can be!”

Chu Cimo was a famous profligate in Sea City. So, Shen Cong thought that he definitely wasn’t capable of fighting.

Participating in the competition to avoid being Valor Gate’s prey? Naive!

After saying that, Shen Cong turned and looked at the Fourth Senior Brother again as he asked, “Who is the person he has to fight later?”

This competition had an elimination system.

Hence, one would have to stop after losing a single round, and the person that lasted until the end would become the champion.

Fourth Senior Brother narrowed his eyes and laughed. “I paid attention earlier. My ex-little junior brother’s luck isn’t too good. He is up against Hercules in his first match.”

Hercules was a nickname.

Just like the alias, this person was two meters tall, and his muscles were a shocking sight. He was a famous character in the competition and would often engage in underground boxing to earn money.

As long as Shen Cong gave him a sum of money, he would definitely crush his opponent on the stage.

Shen Cong was very satisfied hearing this. He then stared at Chu Cimo and said, “Since you are looking to be abused on the stage, I’ll make it so that you will suffer, but you can’t die even if you want to!”
