Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu watched the emotional and joyous reunion of the Father and Daughter.

It might not have been for that long, but the situation that Meihua was in certainly made it seem too long. His gaze also didn't go unnoticed by the man, as he soon looked at him.

"And who's this?" Meihua's father asked.

"This is Daoist Mu Lin. The one who saved Meihua, as well as the winner of the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts." Princess Feng Lan introduced.

"Looks like I have a lot to be grateful to you about." The man said with deep gratitude in his voice. "I am Clan Head Guang San, of the Morning Glory Clan." He introduced himself.

"I am happy to have the opportunity of meeting you." Lin Mu greeted the man in a formal way.

"Let's go in. Daoist Mu Lin shall have the seat of honor today." Clan Head Guang San stated before taking the lead.

They all walked into the main hall of the clan, while the elders and others who were waiting in attendance felt nervous. They all knew that the clan head's joy was hiding anger within.

The Mistress Feng Lan might show it on her face and it might seem scary, the clan head's anger was much more severe. He was one that hid it behind a mask, but when it came out, it would make one wish to hide far away.

In fact, when the Clan Head had held Meihua, he had also sent out multiple messages simultaneously. Lin Mu had sensed that happen, and guessed that he had been talking to others in the clan as well as others around them.

But that wasn't all that he did.

What Lin Mu didn't know was that the clan head had also sent messages about Lin Mu being there, as well as to confirm his identity through their own independent channels.

Being a clan head, Guang San knew better than to be tricked by simple plots.

A stranger coming to rescue their daughters right when she was about to be killed by a beasts seemed a little too convenient after all. Not to mention, there had been a lapse in their security and somehow the beasts had managed to wander in.

For any immortal that had lived that long, especially one experienced in the politics of the nobility as well as clans would easily find it suspicious.

Thankfully, Lin Mu had a big enough footprint in the Dao Wind Empire that confirming his identity was quite fast. By the time the Clan head had reached his seat, he had already received confirmation that Lin Mu was indeed who he declared he was.

'So it is not a ploy from them…' The Clan head thought to himself as he sat down while gesturing to the seat on his left that would be meant for honored guests. "Please sit, Daoist Mu Lin." He requested.

Guang San's face still held the same joyous smile as before, and betrayed none of his thoughts.

"If you insist," Lin Mu replied and took the seat.

Princess Feng Lan also sat down, right beside the Clan Head while Meihua sat on her lap.

With the current situation, it was unlikely she would let the little girl out of her sight for a while. And understandably so, as they didn't know what threat was looming at the current time.

Being an alchemist clan, the Morning Glory Clan was quite rich. It also had a deep background, and their fortune would be hard to estimate.

As such, it wasn't hard to think that there would be many people wanting to obtain that fortune, one way or the other. "First of all, I would like to greatly thank Daoist Mu Lin for his assistance. The Morning Glory Clan shall be in your debt." Clan Head Guang San declared.

"It is just something I had to do. You don't have to think much of it clan head." Lin Mu replied. "Besides, I am friends with Crown Prince Feng Shun. I do not think I would be able to just stand by and watch his niece getting attacked." He added.

The clan head glanced at his wife for a moment, and got the confirmation from her that Lin Mu was indeed speaking the truth.

'So he's acquainted with brother in law too…' The Clan head noted, changing a few of the things he was going to say. "Still, we cannot let this go unrewarded. You can have any of the pills you want from our clan. Or if you wish, you can also get any particular pill commissioned." He offered.

"I'll think about it." Lin Mu replied, not knowing what to actually get.

He had plenty of pills with him, and didn't have a particular need for anything new. Though he still wouldn't deny more pills as they could always come in handy in the future.

Even if he didn't use them himself, he could still give them to others or simply sell them if he ever had to.

Plus it would also be denying the Morning Glory clan face if he did not accept their reward. "Clan head, we still need to address the matter of the clan barrier not working." One of the elders interjected.

It was clear that they were quite anxious too. It was a matter of great concern to them, and needed to be resolved with utmost care. After all, it threatened the entire safety of the Morning Glory Clan in a way.

"I was about to move to that." Clan head Guang San said before looking at his wife. "What did you see?" he asked.

"There's an entire hole in the barrier. Enough for several of the Branch Horn Wolves to get in." It was clear that the princess had already checked on the barrier when she had went out to look for Meihua.

After all, someone of her cultivation base merely had to do a single sweep of Immortal sense to figure out what went wrong.

"A hole? Did you find the cause?" Lin Mu asked feeling curious.
