241 THE SECRE (1/2)

A bothering silence followed after Long Yue's words. No one dared to speak again after that.

If it was another person who dares disrespect him that way, Mu Ruochen would have instantly lash at the other party and send them out right away

But it was a prince he talking to. One of the most highly celebrated princes on top of that.

So no matter how bad he wanted to lash at the other party, or  no matter how strong his urge is to send these guests off, or if possible to even throw them straight out of the gates himself;

He had no other choice but to hold back his anger and endure. Endure the blow in his pride. Endure while he was being humiliated and looked down upon by someone who is two generations younger than him.

If it was before, when their Mu Clan was still in its glory, no one will dare to act like that in front of him. Even the emperor has to treat him almost as if his equal.

But now just a mere prince can now dare spout arrogant words and act haughty in front of him.

Just how low did their Mu Clan had fallen to its rank???

But despite the aggravating situation, as a clan head, Mu Ruochen still did not allow to lose his bearings.

After all, it was still a fact and will remain a known fact that one can turn down a request of a guest if he wishes to.

And that is what he exactly did. Regardless of what action the group would going to take afterward just to get him speak he won't care anymore.

All he knows is that he cannot risk having their clan's deepest secret to be known by anyone else.

The other party could take this matter as if nothing but a  part of their school mission. But for him and for his family, this matter concern more than else.

It was out of safeguard that he was willing to oppose even the emperor of the nation itself back then when he kept for himself the records for the incident that happened 18 years ago.

It was still for that same reason, that he would rather risk his clan's overall welfare and standings just to protect their Clan's secret.

His dear late son used his life to pay for that price. He was only left with one keepsake. As such he was willing to sacrifice everything just to protect that only keepsake.

He will not allow the life that his son had paid to go in vain. That secret of their Mu Clan shall accompany him down to his grave.

No other soul should learn of that matter. He will never speak a word about it to anyone else. Even if someone threatened him with a knife on his throat.

With that conviction and resolve that Mu Ruochen had with him, his will won't be shaken by just anyone or anything else in this world.

”Just like what I have already told you before, my prince, there is nothing else I can tell you anymore. Everything I know was already recorded in the book depository. There is nothing else I could add to it. I suggest that you better check those records yourself now rather than wasting your precious time with me.

My memory is already failing me so I'm afraid that even if I try to recount to you again what happened before, it will only be less accurate than what was already recorded on the book depository.

Those records on the book depository are a lot better than my words now because those are the words that were taken during my prime years.”

Mu Ruochen tried to send his guests out and turn down their request in a roundabout manner.

Mu Lingxi and her friends were no fools. As such they instantly understand the intention behind those words.

Knowing that they came with a prince, the other party can't send them out directly. But it was obvious that it was what he wanted to do right now.

Since there is no point in staying anymore and there is no amount of talking that could change their situation, it is better to leave now

Both of the parties already expressed their stand about the matter. So rather than waiting for the atmosphere to turn more awkward than it already was, it is better for them to end it there.

Without waiting for Mu Ruochen's next words, Long Yue turned his back to the clan head and send himself out. The rest of the group also followed after him.

”What are we going to do now?? Are we just going to leave just like that???'
