Kneeling directly and addressing Qingmu as Master, Wan Zhongshan's move was akin to striking a snake following the stick.
After all, Qingmu had just mentioned that although there was no formal mentor-disciple relationship between them, it could barely count as him being his disciple.
Judging from the interaction between Qingmu and Chen Hai since Qingmu appeared, the two were evidently familiar, with a seemingly complicated relationship.
In Wan Zhongshan's perception, despite Qingmu being evidently more powerful, he seemed to be in a weaker position, aligning all actions with Chen Hai's desires.
Whether true or not, solidifying a mentor-disciple relationship with Qingmu was absolutely beneficial to him without any harm.
After truly becoming a disciple under Qingmu, his chances of preserving his life would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Upon witnessing this move, Qingmu didn't show much emotion, but a few traces of relief were evident on his face.
