The silence after Kyrian's introduction lasted only a few moments.
The patriarch of the Mu family, still keeping his firm gaze on Kyrian, did not ask immediate questions. It was evident that he, like the elders, had much to ask. His uncommon name also wandered through their minds.
But, just as Kyrian imagined, the elders' eyes were focused almost entirely on his eyes. Yet they restrained themselves from asking right away.
Neither the patriarch nor the elders opened their mouths about it, deciding to wait.
After arranging the return, the patriarch ordered that Mu Shan, the young man injured by the beast, be taken away to be treated.
Servants hurried and carried him in silence. Mu Lin and Mu Ning followed for a few steps but soon returned, remaining behind the patriarch.
