The Scholar was unwilling to kneel.
Mystical Mechanism Daoist wouldn't easily submit, even if his life was controlled by another, it wouldn't be possible for him to kneel so easily.
The reason he knelt was due to the control of a mysterious power, involuntarily kneeling and even the words he spoke were not his own thoughts.
"Rise, what do you think of my skills?" Xu Xuan looked at Mystical Mechanism Daoist with interest.
Ever since he assimilated the fellow, the memories in his mind could no longer be hidden from himself, and he also knew the Mystical Mechanism Daoist's thoughts of becoming his dog.
Mystical Mechanism Daoist's face turned an iron blue, and in the end, he forced out two words through his teeth, "I... am inferior."
It all stemmed from his own arrogance; perhaps he had been too successful previously, leading him to forget caution. Upon noticing something new here, he immediately rushed over without any concern for danger.
