Promise!

Chapter 13, Temporarily

"Is that Miss Yun?"

Zhuang Jin's heart moved. Because of what happened with Song Lan that day, he had some ties with the other party. In recent days, he would nod and say hello when he met her on the road. Compared with other important figures of the Shen family handling this matter, the words of this "Miss Yun" were obviously more beneficial to him.

Guo Jun's pupils shrank slightly. He took two quick steps forward and said with an apologetic smile, "Is it Manager Chen? It's okay, it's okay, it's just a misunderstanding."

Even though he was a second-class servant, in fact, in the Shen family, his rank was not as high as that of a first-class maid in the outer courtyard. Not to mention that as a first-class maid in the outer courtyard, she might have a say in some noble in the inner courtyard, so naturally people did not dare to treat her with disrespect.

Chen Yun came and nodded slightly after hearing the whole story.

"Master Guo, you're wrong in this matter." She summed up the situation with one word, paused, and then continued, "Recruiting martial artists is a matter that even the head of the family is concerned about. How could Master Guo bring in outsiders and disturb the martial artists' practice?"

His attitude clearly leans towards Zhuang Jin.

"This little lady is pretty, but she's really crooked when she speaks and does things!"

Before, Hou Yong was called a "scoundrel and pauper" by Zhuang Jin, and Zhuang Jin's expression looked like he wanted to eat someone. Now, when Chen Yun called him a "stray person", he didn't dare to make a single movement. He could only bend his waist and listen with his ears lowered, and at most he would say a few words in his heart.

Even though he was very powerful in front of his beggars, he was nothing when he came to the Shen family. He had to fawn over every servant, not to mention this person who had to be careful with his backers. Even if he was scolded, he had to be careful.

"Yes, I was wrong in this matter. I caused trouble for Manager Chen." Guo Jun didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he naturally walked down the stairs.

Immediately, he apologized to Zhuang Jin again: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not managing things properly and causing trouble for Brother Zhuang. From now on, I promise not to let him come over and disturb your martial arts practice again."

This was said to Zhuang Jin and also a promise to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun did not comment after hearing this and looked at Zhuang Jin, obviously asking for his opinion.

"Since this lord has given me such a favor, I naturally cannot refuse it. So let it be!"

Zhuang Jin felt relieved as he spoke. If he had a choice, he would not want to make a big deal out of it, because making a big deal out of it meant losing control. Now, being able to ensure a smooth martial arts training for a month was already a good result.

"That's it. I hope Master Guo will do what he says." Chen Yun looked at Guo Jun. This statement also showed her importance, so that the other party would not dare to make any small moves.

"Of course! Of course!" Guo Jun said goodbye and left with Hou Yong with a smile.

Zhuang Jin watched the two of them leave and thanked Chen Yun again: "Thank you, Manager Chen!"

He said this sincerely. If the matter had gotten out of hand, Guo Jun and Hou Yong would certainly not have ended up well, but he would also have left a bad impression on the Shen family as a troublemaker and someone who could cause trouble. What was worse was that in front of the behemoth Shen family, he could not hide his own experience at all. The experience as a beggar was also true. If everything was laid out on the table, he would most likely be punished for his eloquence and might even be kicked out.

He didn't want to see the result of both sides being beaten with fifty sticks and suffering losses. After all, it was better to avoid the collision between the jade and the clay pot if possible. It was indeed thanks to Chen Yun that this happened.

Of course, if Guo Jun and Hou Yong knew Zhuang Jin was thinking this way, they would probably grab him by the collar and ask, "Who is the earthenware jar and who is the jade artifact? You're so damn confident!"
"There's no need to be awkward. Just calling her 'Miss Yun' is more intimate. There's no need to thank me. Let's just consider this as repaying the favor I did to Sister Lan!"

Chen Yun smiled gently, as elegant and gentle as a rose blossoming in a corner. After a pause, she continued, "I'll keep an eye on things for now. Nothing will happen in this outer courtyard, but if we go out, I won't be able to help you. My dear, please be careful and try to stay."

"Yes, thank you Miss Yun for the reminder." Zhuang Jin naturally knew that this hurdle was only temporarily passed. If he failed to learn martial arts, there would be backlash when he left. But on the other hand, if he could become a formal martial artist within a month and stay, then there would be no problem. Hou Yong would be afraid of him instead. Afterwards, Zhuang Jin went back. Xiong Lei hurried over and asked, "Jinzi, why did you suddenly start arguing just now? I was just about to go over when Sister Yun came. What did Sister Yun say to you?"

Zhuang Jin glanced at him and felt that although he was the one in trouble, this guy was more concerned about "Miss Yun" than him.

He shook his head slightly: "It's okay, go get the Kailuo Soup first!"

After receiving the Kailuo Soup, Chen Yun left. Many martial artists looked at Zhuang Jin with strange eyes.

……

"Master Guo, I'm sure that's the 'little mute'!" Hou Yong said unwillingly after leaving the martial arts training ground.

"So what? Can you still tie him up and get him out?" Guo Jun glanced at Hou Yong. "If you can trick him out, that's fine. But what can you do in the Shen family? What can you dare to do?"

Hou Yong was immediately speechless after being scolded.

Guo Jun glanced at the man. He was quite satisfied with Hou Yong. He basically never caused him any trouble and the monthly tribute was quite generous. Thinking of this, his tone softened a lot. "Wait, wait. Every time we recruit 120 martial artists, how many can stay? At most, only seven or eight. If this person fails to learn martial arts, he will be released in a month and it will be up to you to deal with him."

Although Chen Yun's attitude leaned towards Zhuang Jin, he thought that the other party was more trying to protect the martial artists from being affected, not because he had a good relationship with Zhuang Jin. After all, this group of martial artists had only been here for a few days. What kind of relationship could they have with Chen Yun?
A month later, Zhuang Jin, or the 'little mute', could not stay. He would be a person of a different level and would not be able to see Chen Yun. Naturally, there was no need to worry.

"Yes, Mr. Guo, I understand." Hou Yong felt better after hearing this.

"Little bastard, I'll wait for you to come out!" He secretly swore in his heart.

As for Zhuang Jin becoming a full-fledged warrior within a month and staying, haha, how could that be possible? Hou Yong himself had participated in the martial arts student recruitment. At that time, there were 30 people in a martial arts training ground, but only two became successful. And those were both from the dormitory next door. There was no one in his own dormitory. He didn't believe that the "little mute" could be so lucky as to become a true warrior.

However, just in case, he still asked, "Then... Mr. Guo, what if, I mean what if, what if that 'little mute' succeeds?"

Guo Jun glanced at Hou Yong and said, "If he becomes a true warrior and stays in the Shen family, then the other party is Zhuang Jin. What does it have to do with your 'little mute'?"

"This..." Hou Yong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that if Zhuang Jin had not succeeded and was still just a little beggar, it would be fine. But if he really became a formal warrior and stayed in the Shen family, then he would be impossible to control. If he could not be controlled, he would naturally not be the beggar 'little mute' under his command.

This is a really flexible identification standard.

"Don't be afraid. When the time comes, you can prepare a gift and apologize for today's offense. I still have some face in the Shen family's outer courtyard." Guo Jun thought for a while and said so.

"I'll listen to Master Guo." Hou Yong agreed, but when he thought of that possibility, he still felt a sense of aggrieved, uncomfortable and unhappy. However, when he thought about the probability of that possibility, he suddenly felt much more relieved.

"A sparrow is a sparrow. How can it turn into a phoenix? Even if it flies up to a branch and flutters a few times, it is still a sparrow." He sneered in his heart: "Forget it, just like Master Guo said, let this little mute be proud for a few days."
