"Isn't that the same as being a disciple?" Gongsun Ling muttered to herself, feeling slightly perplexed. Still, she cupped her fist and said, "Thank you."
Afterwards, she excused herself and left to check on the training recruits. She didn't mention anything about leaving for the surface or returning to the Mercenary Guild.
This little detail did not escape Di Tian's notice. He secretly sighed; Gongsun Ling seemed to have given up on returning to the Mercenary for now as she knew that Red Supreme was probably on the hunt for her. As a matter of fact, it was the same for Di Tian too; the persona of Master Tian had to be put on hold for now.
