Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 52: Secrets of the Mu clan

Secrets of the Mu clan

“So you are Jin Mu” Lin Mu said as because of the system quest, Leo no longer had an option to play it off but could only go deeper down the rabbit hole.

” Yes, however, my identity is not to be revealed to anyone, lady Lin” Leo said as Lin Mu nodded her head and scanned Leo once more with surprise etched all over her face.

” You’re different compared to the rumors” Lin Mu said as Leo pounced on this opportunity to know more about the role that he was playing as he said ” What do the rumors say about me?”

” The usual.

They say that you’re a good for nothing that had ran away since he could not master a single technique of the clan.

Some suggested that you had committed suicide in shame, however, it seems that the rumours were wrong.

Not only are you alive but you have also learnt our clans footwork that is notoriously hard to master.

Good job” Lin Mu praised as Leo deciphered some useful information from her words.

” I actually would have committed suicide, but my will was too weak to take my own life… in the end I’m living in disgrace” Leo said as Lin Mu’s eyes turned soft at his words as she placed a friendly arm over his shoulder.

” My father always says that there is no heroism in committing suicide and that it is the weak who take their own lives.

Never do something so drastic okay Jin? If nothing else you can always become a gigolo for the main clan and pleasure the men and women there for a living” Lin Mu suggested earnestly, however, the very word gigolo sent goosebumps down Leo’s spine.

“No thankyou, I’d much rather die than become a male prostitute” Leo said as Lin Mu frowned at his words.

” Are you looking down on the Mu clan and our brothel workers? Don’t forget Jin Mu, most of our assassin’s are prostitutes” Lin Mu said as Leo felt confused as to whether she was defending the honor of her family or tarnishing it.

” You must know about the history of our clan, yes?” Lin Mu asked as Leo pointed towards his face and shook his head in dismissal as Lin Mu genuinely stomped her feet this time in frustration as she said “How can you not know about our clan’s history? How can you be so ignorant about your own roots?”

” Can you please enlighten me?” Leo requested as Lin Mu sighed deeply and began narrating the tale of the great Mu clan.

” Our great matriarch, Sun Mu, was rumored to be the most beautiful woman in the entire empire.

She had a luscious figure that all men lusted after and was said to be a master of pleasuring men with her mouth.

A single night with her cost upwards of 300,000 gold coins and only the most wealthy clients could afford her services.

Back then, the then Emperor had a feud with the Archduke and wished for him to be secretly removed, so he commissioned the Mu clan to kill him and the task of his assassination fell on matriarch Su’s shoulders.

Under the pretext of serving him, she injected poison in his body through his very own manhood and managed to kill the extremely strong Archduke who could face entire armies alone, immortalizing the legacy of the Mu clan forever in the history books” Lin Mu said almost romantically as Leo felt horrified to learn the history of the Mu clan.

‘ Never visit a brothel-‘ Leo made a mental note as the very thought of someone injecting poison through his manhood while giving oral gave Leo the chills.

Unlike Lin Mu, he felt like there was nothing romantic about the story and could not understand why she was being so pious while dictating it.

” Wow, our clan is quite something -” Leo said as Lin Mu’s nose inched two centimeters even higher because of the complement.

” Yes, all Assassin guilds respect the Mu family, we’re like royalty around here. Only the night clan has a greater history than us” Lin Mu said as she could barely contain her smile when saying these words which was quite unlike the emotionless assassin’s Leo had observed so far.

” You must also try to gain merits for our Mu clan.

I’m sure if you pass this prestigious examination, you will be welcomed with open arms back home.

So do your best in all the tests ahead and don’t ruin our reputation, okay?” Lin Mu said as Leo nodded his head and gave her a bright smile.

He had no idea what the other tests would look like, however, he had full confidence in the mimic skill to help him overcome any challenge thrown his way.

‘Fake it, till you make it’ Leo thought to himself as those words had quite literally become his mantra in life.

” Lady Lin, do you have any idea what round two would be like?” Leo asked as the two of them slowly walked towards the second test ground with Lin Mu shaking her head in dismay.

” I know round three will be a combat round against one of the master assassin’s, however, I don’t know what round two will be like.

Every year, round one and round two are different, however, round three is always the same.

Nobody knows what they’re in for until the masters explain the rules for the test” Lin Mu replied as although Leo did not find out what round 2 held for him, he found out information about the third and final round.

” Agh nevermind, I’ll definitely clear whatever challenge they throw at me” Leo said in confidence as Lin Mu chuckled heartily at his words.

She had never met a clown like Leo all her life who had such a bright and goofy personality as everyone within her clan were always stoic and serious.

His foolish company was a refreshing change and Lin Mu quite enjoyed it for now, although it remained to be seen how long it would last.
