Chapter 461 - 461 Inner Disciples!

461 Inner Disciples!

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Cimo looked at him sharply. “What did you say?”

The Fifth Senior Brother was also perplexed and angrily shouted, “Senior Brother, you’re targeting him!”

The Eldest Senior Brother calmly said, “I’m just following the rules. In the past, some fighters paid their coaches to cheat, and they were also disqualified. Hiring bodyguards and bribing you as the administrator is the same thing. This matter is settled. Fourth Senior Brother, notify the competition side immediately to revoke Chu Cimo’s qualification.”

“Yes!” The Fourth Senior Brother turned around to leave.

The Fifth Senior Brother rushed forward in anger. “You can’t go!”

This was the only chance for Chu Cimo to return to the Valor Gate!

But before he could stop the Fourth Senior Brother, the Eldest Senior Brother said calmly, “Is it okay for a disciple to attack their senior brother? Are you willing to bear the consequences of disrespecting your elders?”

The Fifth Senior Brother paused. Disrespecting elders would result in expulsion from the sect.

Their sect had strict rules. But when he saw the Fourth Senior Brother walking away, he couldn’t help but try to stop him. However, Chu Cimo pulled him back.

“Why are you stopping me?” the Fifth Senior Brother asked angrily.

Chu Cimo sighed. “Fifth Senior Brother, forget it.”

He had been expelled, and he couldn’t let his Fifth Senior Brother suffer the same fate.

The Fifth Senior Brother was an orphan with no place to go, and Valor Gate was his home.

Shen Ruojing watched them as her gaze darkened slightly.

She was gifted and was chosen as a disciple by the founder of Valor Gate at a young age, becoming the legendary junior martial uncle. However, she had never spent a day in Valor Gate.

The old man had told her that the younger generation had new rules that were difficult to manage, so he had asked her to come back and take over Valor Gate.

However, she was just too lazy to return, but she had never expected that the inner sect had become so unbearable.

Just like the saying, wealth did not last for three generations. If children were not well-educated, the third generation would definitely have problems.

Their martial arts practice was the same now.

She clenched her jaw and ordered, “Come back!”

The Fourth Senior Brother, who was about to run forward, suddenly paused. He didn’t understand why he felt compelled to obey this order, but he felt the authority behind it.

He turned his head and saw Shen Ruojing stepping forward. “It is my father who wants to hire bodyguards, and the money will be paid by him. What does this have to do with Chu Cimo? Is this how the Valor Gate always does things? Without distinguishing right from wrong?!”

As soon as these words were spoken, both the Eldest and Fourth Senior Brother choked.

The Eldest Senior Brother tried to argue. “Chu Cimo was still involved in the middle…”

“Who said that? I’ve been acquainted with this…fifth brother since a long time ago. Chu Cimo only spoke a few words with him. Do you have any evidence that he is involved?” Shen Ruojing interrupted.

The Fourth Senior Brother hurriedly added, “I clearly heard…”

“I also clearly saw you trading with Shen Cong. Can this be considered evidence?” Shen Ruojing sneered.

The Fourth Senior Brother was silenced.

Chu Cimo was angry, but after being pointed out, he immediately understood what was going on.

He raised his chin and said, “That’s right. Do you have any evidence that I hire bodyguards? The money is not mine, and the bodyguards are not hired by me. What does it have to do with me?”

The Eldest Senior Brother frowned. Ever since he joined the sect, the attention of his master and senior brothers had been focused on him because of his exceptional talent.

According to reason, he should be to one to inherit the position of the sect leader, but a junior uncle suddenly appeared and took that position from him.

He was afraid that Chu Cimo would become like the next Junior Martial Uncle!

So, he suppressed Chu Cimo in every way possible and forced him to leave. But he did not expect that Chu Cimo would come back a few years later and even manage to enter the top five of the fighting competition.

If he rejoined as the champion… wouldn’t it be the same as what had happened with the legendary junior martial uncle from all those years ago?!

Although the Eldest Martial Brother wanted Chu Cimo to die immediately, this was still in the competition venue, and their dispute had been noticed by everyone.

He couldn’t act too recklessly.

The Eldest Senior Brother sneered, “Okay, since that’s the case, Fifth Brother will go to the Reflection Hall and kneel for five days. As for you… please leave the venue and never come back. People like you will be denied any cooperation with Valor Gate in the future!”

This was cutting off their path to hiring bodyguards.

Before Shen Ruojing could speak, Old Master Bai frowned and said angrily, “I don’t think you have the qualifications to judge me! Isn’t the fighting arena managed by your grand martial uncle? Get him to come out now!”

Old Master Bai had a powerful aura that intimidated the Eldest Senior Brother.

Seeing this, Shen Ruojing raised her eyebrows and did not speak.

The Eldest Senior Brother immediately looked at Old Master Bai and frowned, “This is a small matter. You don’t need to bother him. I have the right to handle it!”

“Is that so?” Old Master Bai said slowly, “Then I will have to ask Old Man Hong later. It’s fine if he doesn’t cooperate with us. But how can his junior, you, bully me, someone from the Bai Family? Does he not put the four great families in his eyes?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Eldest Senior Brother trembled.

Not dealing with the four major families didn’t mean that the Valor Gate didn’t care about them. It was just that they didn’t want to get involved in their conflicts. But the Valor Gate was not stupid, so how could they possibly offend the four major families?

So he immediately asked, “Who are you?”

Old Master Bai placed his hands behind his back and replied imposingly, “Tell your grand martial uncle, I am Bai Wei!”

Bai Wei!

The Eldest Martial Brother’s legs went weak, almost falling to the ground, but he still immediately said, “So it’s Old Master Bai who is here in person… But even if my grand martial uncle is called here, we still won’t do this business. There are rules in the sect that forbid us to do transactions with the four great families…”

“You don’t have the right to talk about this with me!” Bai Wei shot a sharp look at him.

The Eldest Martial Brother immediately lowered his head and said, “Okay, I’ll go call my grand martial uncle.”

He turned his head and cast a fierce glare at Chu Cimo before he went to the backstage area to find his grand martial uncle. He said directly, “Elder, Old Master Bai is here!”

The grand martial uncle immediately stood up and followed him out, frowning and asking, “What is he here for?”

...

The Eldest Senior Brother’s eyes flickered and he said, “He’s here to hire us as bodyguards. Senior, just now Fifth Junior Brother almost agreed to their request. Luckily, I stopped him and punished him to reflect in the Reflection Hall. Therefore, he offended Old Master Bai, sigh!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Grand Martial Uncle immediately said, “You did well! Valor Gate has rules. Unless there are disciples in the particular family, there is no responsibility to protect their families. Otherwise, there shall absolutely be no involvement with the four great families! Rest assured, if Old Master Bai gets angry, our Valor Gate is also not to be trifled with! How can anyone bully us on our turf?!”

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Martial Brother heaved a sigh of relief.

The inner disciples of the sect worked to earn extra money on the side, and the Grand Martial Uncle had always turned a blind eye to it.

If his grand martial uncle knew he punished his fifth junior brother first before anything else, his grand martial uncle would definitely know he was plotting something.

But if the sequence of events was reversed — letting his grand martial uncle know that his fifth junior brother had broken the rules first by wanting to work with the Bai family before he stopped and punished him, things would be different.

And later on, even if Old Master Bai and the eldest young miss from the Shen family pointed this out, would his grand martial uncle believe them and not believe him?
