Chapter 635: The Fen Clan And The Fenlong Clan (1/2)

Upon hearing the words written on the scroll, the council members were shocked. They had not thought that some average merchant clan in a small kingdom like the Fenlong Kingdom would be related to some ancient clan.

But while they were having thoughts about the ancient clan, Lin Mu was thinking about something else.

'Mulong… Fenlong… Mu Clan… Fen Clan…' Lin Mu couldn't help but repeat.

They seemed to be significantly similar to him and he wondered if there was some relation to all of them.

'This Miss Fen… is she related to the Royal Family too?' Lin Mu wondered.

Jingming Shang furrowed his brows and came to the crux of the matter.

”Miss Fen… I understand that the Mu Clan is related to the ancient Mulong Clan, but what is your particular interest in it? I mean, there are a lot of smaller clans that were once related to the ancient clans.

We can literally find tens of people with the Zhou surname, and they may even be related to the Imperial family, but just how far is the relation, that matters too.” Jingming Shang questioned.

Miss Fen looked at Jingming Shang and hesitated a bit before speaking.

”As you might all know, my Fen clan is technically related to the Royal Family of our Fenlong Kingdom as well. My mother was a lower member of the royal family and married into the branch, which split apart a long time ago.

This branch chose to keep 'Fen' as their surname while letting go of the 'Long' from their name. They thought at that time that keeping an imposing name such as 'Long' might bring them trouble since they didn't actually have the true power to back it up.

Still, deep down, my clansmen still wanted to one day gain back the old surname. We had been striving on it by becoming merchants and amassing a fortune. Of course, our clansmen did as much as they could do, by pursuing the path of cultivation as well, yet there weren't really any people that had a good talent.

In my clan, I'm the only one that could be said to have a decent talent.” Miss Fen explained.

Having heard her words the some of the council members nodded their heads while some of them just got more confused.

”I still don't understand how this links up with you speaking for the Mu clan,” Gun Kai questioned.

~Sigh~

”I'm not done yet… it's just painful…
