"Immortal Wang, please rise!"
Li Ping'an was baffled but reacted swiftly, bowing his head to assist Wang Shan to his feet.
Wang Shan leveraged the motion to stand up, bowing his head with hands clasped: "Many thanks, my lord!"
Inside and outside the Eastern Alliance, it was quite rare to address someone as 'my lord;' the common titles were 'master' or 'sir.'
Li Ping'an frowned and said, "We both serve as divine officials, where does this loyalty come from? We are both officials loyal to His Majesty."
"Indeed," the senior Tianli hastily said, "Wang Shan, come back to be a divine official! If your injuries have recovered, why not return to the Eastern Alliance and continue your pursuit of immortality?"
