The abnormality of the Mercenary Association made Gong Yu and Mu Nian more vigilant.
The two of them sat holding hands, ready to hide in the Shennong Ding and escape at any time.
The president chatted with Gong Yu and Mu Nian like a friend, asking from time to time if Mu Nian's parents were okay, if their companions were safe, and sincerely apologized for the previous battle.
It seemed as if the person whose things were stolen was Gong Yu, not the Mercenary Association.
This made Gong Yu even more confused.
Suddenly, Mu Nian tightened his grip on Gong Yu's hand, as if conveying some secret message.
Gong Yu glanced at Mu Nian without leaving any trace.
Mu Nian smiled with his eyes and lips slightly raised. He leaned towards Gong Yu and whispered two words in her ear.
Gong Yu was stunned at first, but then he thought of the dozens of psychics outside who had reached the peak strength in the other world, and quickly understood what Mu Nian meant.
The divine world.
The reason why the people from the Mercenary Association were so respectful to them was simply because they hoped that Gong Yu could break the barrier between the alien world and the divine world, allowing them to ascend to the divine world in their lifetime, and perhaps they would have another opportunity.
Although the people in the Mercenary Association look to be in their forties or fifties, they are all antiques who have lived for hundreds of years.
No matter how strong they are, having reached the peak of the other world, it means that it will be difficult for them to make any further progress in this life.
It also means that the lifespan increased by relying on strength will eventually come to an end.
The longer a person lives and the more he has, the more he resists death.
The people in the Mercenary Association are definitely the best among them.
So compared to the previous incident of snatching the Donghuang Bell, as long as Gong Yu can successfully break the barrier between the two worlds, they can let bygones be bygones.
After figuring this out, Gong Yu's tense nerves relaxed, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Gong Yu and Mu Nian's little actions naturally did not escape the president's eyes.
He also guessed that the two of them should have known his purpose, so he didn't plan to beat around the bush. He directly took off the belt from his waist and placed it in front of Gong Yu.
"This is the Fuxi Qin. I guess you're here to get it?"
After knowing the purpose of the Mercenary Association, Gong Yu was not surprised by the president's behavior.
She just glanced at the waist pendant and had no intention of taking it.
She knew the president had more to say.
As expected, the president quickly said, "Although this looks like a piece of rotten wood, and I never knew it was the other half of the Fuxi Qin, I have always been able to sense a continuous power being transmitted from this piece of rotten wood, nourishing my body and improving my supernatural talents."
"It can be said that my current cultivation level has reached such a high level, in large part due to it."
"During this battle, I also relied on the rotten wood. I sensed the aura of other artifacts besides the Donghuang Bell and Shennong Ding on you. In particular, the aura emanating from you and this piece of rotten wood particularly attracted me. No...it particularly attracted it."
The president pointed to the waist belt on the table.
"During the days you were missing, I mobilized all the resources of the Mercenary Association and finally learned that you had half of a guqin. I then speculated that this piece of rotten wood was most likely the other half."
The president paused here, smiled, and looked at Gong Yu and Mu Nian with a little pride, trying to figure out their thoughts from their expressions.
