Chapter 1989 Invited To The Morning Glory Clan

Chapter 1989 Invited To The Morning Glory Clan

Hearing her name, the mother of the little girl Meihua couldn't help but turn to the stranger who had saved her daughter.
"Who are you?" She questioned while measuring up Lin Mu.
The man was currently clad in solid stone armor and looked rather imposing. From the aura that he was exuding, the woman could at least tell that he was not from here and was not weak either.
Thus, even if he had saved Meihua, she still couldn't help but be a little suspicious of him. It was normal too, as someone as strong as that appearing in their clan's territory would always be a bit questionable.
"I am Daoist Mu Lin." Lin Mu replied. "I don't know if Crown Prince Feng Shun has informed you of me or not." He added.
"Elder Brother?" Feng Lan raised her brows as her mind worked to remember the name Mu Lin. "Are you… the Winner of the Tournament Mu Lin?" she finally recognized.
While she had not been in attendance at the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts, she had certainly heard of the results that had come at the end. She had long since left the imperial clan, and as such didn't really care much about the events that transpired in the capital city.
But even then, the astonishing amount of things that had happened there were hard to miss. Especially when the three emperors had appeared and also the actions of the Third Prince.
"I am indeed that Mu Lin." Lin Mu finally confirmed. "Please, give me a moment." He said and took a few steps back.
~SHUA~
The stone armor around him melted away and turned into searing hot magma. Feng Lan's eyes narrowed, but she didn't become wary. She watched as the magma turned into a mix of immortal Qi and entered back into Lin Mu's body.
She could now see the face of the man dressed in simple black robes and wearing a silver circlet on his head.
She couldn't help but admit that he looked to be kind and didn't seem like someone who was here for nefarious reasons.
"You have my gratitude as the Princess of the Dao Wind Empire as well as the Mistress of the Morning Glory clan for saving my daughter." Princess Feng Lan said in a respectful tone.
She even cupped her hands and bowed her head slightly. This was already big enough for a princess like her.
"I only did what I had to." Lin Mu said not minding it much. "Though it is very strange that this happened. How did the Branch Horn wolves manage to get within the clan boundaries." He showed his concern.
"I agree with that." Feng Lan said, her eyes gaining some fury again. "I'll need to have a very 'thorough' conversation with a few people."
Hearing her words, Lin Mu knew that some of the people in the Morning Glory Clan were about to have a very bad day.
Though it was also understandable since a security lapse like that should not happen at all.
"As the one who saved Meihua, would you please come with me to the Morning Glory clan. We would like to thank you properly." Feng Lan requested.
"Yeah! Big Brother, come come!" Meihua felt excited.
~ANG!~
Even the flying fox chimed in, wanting the one who saved his master to come.
"Very well. I don't mind." Lin Mu replied. "Plus the Crown Prince expects to pick me up from the Morning Glory Clan anyways." He added.
"Elder Brother is coming to pick you up?" Feng Lan hadn't expected that.
"Yeah, I'm going out with him later." Lin Mu answered. "It's almost the day when he'll be coming." He estimated that there was barely a week or so left.
"If so, then looks like the Morning Glory Clan was supposed to be your end destination anyways." Feng Lan couldn't help but find it to be a work of fate.
"Indeed. I was in the Evergreen Pillars Forest for cultivation, and the Crown Prince suggested that I should head to the Morning Glory Clan afterwards since it was close." Lin Mu explained.
"I see, then let's head to the clan. I'm sure my husband will also want to meet you." Feng Lan replied before suddenly looking in the distance.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Lin Mu felt tens of people approaching at that moment. They were all flying and seemed to be immortals.
"Mistress!"
"Young miss Meihua!"
Frantic cries could also be heard from them. Hearing their worried tones as well as the robes that they were wearing, it didn't take much for Lin Mu to recognize that they were all members of the Morning Glory Clan as well.
~SHUA~
They all landed in front of them, and got a stern look from Feng Lan.
"Mis—" the man in the lead tried to speak but was interrupted.
"Not… a… word." Feng Lan said through her teeth trying to keep some decorum in front of a guest.
"Y-yes…" They all shut their lips, knowing that their mistress was angry.
They all knew they would be getting punished after getting back, but they also knew it was deserved. For the young miss of their clan to be threatened by beasts, that too within their own borders?
Simply unthinkable.
Someone would have to pay the price, and they hoped that it wouldn't be them.
"Let's go," Feng Lan said and rose into the sky with Meihua in her arms.
Lin Mu followed after, and so did the members of the Morning Glory clan. A short while later, they landed in the interior of the clan, heading to the main hall directly.
There, a very worried looking man with a pale expression seemed to be standing with several elders.
"Daddy!" Meihua quickly revealed the identity of the man.
She then jumped out of her mothers arms and rushed into her fathers, getting the flying fox squished between them.
~ANG~
The fox cried in protest at getting squished, while the father laughed in joy.
"Hahaha! You're safe! You're safe!!!"
