27 Mu tribe (1/2)

In the military dorms a man sat at his study reading a book. His expression cannot be seen as his face was covered with a mask, a wooden mask that was painted in blood red with many creepy black characters and symbols decorating it.

One look at the mask and you would shudder involuntarily.

The mask only added fear to his already eccentric personality.

The man slightly tilted his head after hearing a series of knocks and sighed as he did not like anyone disturbing his peaceful study time.

” Come in” his low and monotonous voice echoed.

The voice is like a warm breeze that can put anyone's heart at ease. But the warm feeling is very easily forgotten by looking as his dark mask.

The young soldier entered the room with his head down all the while not daring to look at the mask which was the source of his many nightmares.

” Master Mu Chen, general Xuan is requesting your presence.”Mu Chen raised his eyebrows.

' It's been a long time, since I've put my eyes to work.' Mu Chen sighed in his heart.

” Alright..” Mu Chen did not wait for the guard's reply and exited his room slowly into the direction of the military jail.

The young soldier immediately came back to his senses and rushed forward to lead the way.

” Li Hong, are you still scared of my pretty mask?” Mu Chen asked with a hint of amusement. Mu Chen still remembered this young man's horrified reaction when he first met him.

After hearing the teasing tone of this venerable deity Li Hong face-palmed and grumbled ” Master Mu, that eerie mask of yours still scares the wits out of me. Master I can change that mask of yours into a presentable one..”

Mu Chen grunted ” Humph, not even one of you can understand the beauty and artistic sense of my mask..”
