After receiving clear instructions from Lin Chenxing to come to the rescue, Mohanderson and East felt relieved and began to enjoy the activities held in this secret realm.

Even during the competition here, many mercenaries received rewards from the top leaders of the family. These rewards are also rare treasures in the outside world, such as some fruits that can temporarily increase the speed of cultivation. It seems that these fruits are produced in this secret realm.

After Mohanderson and East discovered this treasure, they also had a plan in mind, that is, to get this treasure for Lin Chenxing.

Under the stage, two people also gathered together. They looked at Mohanderson and East who were constantly discussing with their tribesmen on the stage, and they began to murmur.

"Hey, don't you think the fighting methods of these two people look familiar? And their weapons?"

"It does seem a bit similar."

"I suspect they are probably the two people who caused our mission to fail."

"What's the use of your doubts. They signed a contract with us. At least we can't kill them in the secret realm."

"If you can't kill them in the secret realm, why don't they do it when they leave the secret realm? As long as you report it to the family, they will definitely attack them quietly after the others leave."

"Are you overthinking and attacking them just because of this?"

"Have you forgotten? We just went up to have a competition. I think they must have discovered us. As long as they report our situation, the family will be more or less in trouble."

"Yes, they must have discovered us, but why do you think they dare to come on stage and be so careless?"

"... This... I don't know."

"Either they didn't recognize us, or they have a back-up and they are not afraid of us. So, what do you think?"

"No one knows this! What if they are just pretending?"

"What if, hey! What if someone in their clan is stronger than us? We'd better report it to the clan first."

"Okay!"

Two days later, Mohanderson and East had successfully received the reward from this family for their educational achievements. They were also satisfied and no longer prepared to play.

However, they only rested for a day, and an elder from this family sent a message to them, hoping that they would go to their residence to talk about it in the evening.

At this time, they knew that their affairs must have been exposed by the two people from the beginning, but they still had to go and wait for instructions. However, on the way, both of them were already prepared to be killed if the other party violated the contract.

However, what they did not expect was that they would be greeted by a banquet.

"Hongmen Banquet?!" Mohanderson and East have been deeply influenced by Huaxia culture. It can be said that almost all Blue Star Lineage now regard Huaxia culture has become the mainstream, and only the generations of the Base City era before Great Nirvana Period and Golden Horned Beast were rampant still have their own identification and disidentification with other cultures.

In such an occasion, the only thing they could think of was the so-called Hongmen Banquet.

"Two of you, welcome to your arrival. The elder is already waiting at the banquet venue." A man wearing the costume of a waiter of this family was receiving the two people who came to attend the banquet at the gate.

Mohanderson said, "Thank you very much, elder, for the invitation. I hope you will lead the way."

Under the guidance of the waiter, Mohanderson and East finally arrived at the venue.

There were not many people in the entire venue. It could be seen that almost all of them were members of this elder's tribe, and among them was a member of Star Pirates whom they had met before.

Mohanderson and East were both worriedly waiting for the banquet to begin, with a slightly sad look on their faces. This scene was also seen by Star Pirates, who just smiled at Mohanderson and East without making any other movements.

All this made the two of them feel inconsistent and a little confused.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, the elder said, "You two should start eating too. After you finish eating, we will discuss other matters."

Mohanderson and East could only obey. After all, the strength of this elder was obviously at the Domain Lord level, and according to their understanding during this period, this should be the top Domain Lord elder in the family. He could crush two people with just one finger.

In this way, after the two of them quietly finished the meal, which lasted for a long time, they sat down in their original positions with some uneasiness.

The elder said, "The request for you to come this time is also the result of discussions within our clan. On the one hand, it is to express our gratitude to you, and on the other hand, it is an apology."

"Apologise!?" Mohanderson and East looked at each other.

The elder continued, "You have indeed helped us a lot during this period. Many children who originally thought there was no hope of breakthrough have successfully broken through to a higher level under your pressure. And many of them are actually the most beloved children of our elders."

"We are able to help seriously because the nobles can give us certain rewards. Therefore, at this time, it is just another mercenary mission in disguise. You pay and we contribute." East said.

The elder smiled inexplicably and said, "It's different. Although those rewards are good, their actual value is only average. If you can go to this secret realm outside the scope of our influence, you will definitely be able to find a few, and the quality is very high."

"Actually, the most important thing is to apologize. Come here, Su Yade."

At the elder's call, Mohanderson and East, who had been hiding aside before, rushed over to the familiar Star Pirates.

Su Yade bent down directly to Mohanderson and East and said, "You two, I'm really sorry. I went out on an adventure before and accidentally joined the suspects. I deceived Star Pirates, and as Star Pirates, I grabbed the two of them. Fortunately, the two of them woke me up. After returning to the family, I learned from my mistakes and changed my past mistakes. This made my ancestor feel relieved."

This directly caught Mohanderson and East off guard. They stood up and said, "Brother Su Yade, we don't blame you for anything. The mission at that time was relatively smooth, and your losses were also heavy. It's nothing to us."

At the elder's signal, Su Yade immediately retreated.

"At the elders' meeting before, I learned that this kid went out to do Star Pirates. It really made me very angry." The elder said, "I don't know what you need. We at the elders' meeting discussed it and prepared something casually. I hope I can express my gratitude to you and help this unscrupulous descendant like me find my way back."

The elder clapped his hands, and a group of waiters walked out carrying six treasures.

Seeing this, Mohanderson and East collected these treasures and expressed their gratitude to the elder. They hoped to cooperate with the elder's family in the future.
