Walker Of The Worlds

The cordial greeting from the Head Elder felt pleasant to Lin Mu.

"Firstly, I must congratulate you on your win." Head Elder said with a smile. "As such, I would like to hold a banquet in your honor." He added.

"Oh? But would that be appropriate Head Elder?" Lin Mu asked. "Considering the current situation with the Great Meteorite Wall." He said, showing some concern.

Lin Mu had been the one behind it. As such, he still held a bit of guilt and did not want to inconvenience his hosts.

"Oh, that is fine." Head Elder chuckled. "The Patriarch is the one who has to deal with that anyways. I believe you've already met him earlier." He spoke.

"The one in the Twin Crowns Peak?" Lin Mu asked.

"Indeed. That's my second son, Shuijing Lanzhou." Head Elder replied.

"Oh? That's Shuijing Mingzhu's Grandfather?" Lin Mu asked in curiosity.

"No, he's my Granduncle. My Grandfather is here in the clan." Shuijing Mingzhu replied.

"I see…" Lin Mu said, finding the clan structure to be a bit different from what he was used to.

"You don't have to worry about inconveniencing us. Our authority structure is split into two. There is the council of the valley and then the individual clan authority. For clan matters, the Head Elders are in charge, while the patriarchs and a few other elders are part of the council." The Head Elder explained.

"I understand… but if you are the oldest, why aren't you in that position?" Lin Mu asked, feeling a bit interested in their workings.
