Lin Yuan wasn't really helping the masked man out of a difficult situation. The masked man was in this situation mainly because of their verbal appointment yesterday night.
When a gentleman gave his words, he must keep to it.
Lin Yuan didn't expect the masked man to keep to the deal after yesterday night's verbal appointment and rushed departure. It would be false if Lin Yuan said he wasn't moved. If this masked man didn't keep to his words and keep to his promise, Lin Yuan's Blue Flash Butterfly would have flown away.
The retainer could only speak in a harsh tone, as the Rare Lifeform Pavilion wasn't like the outside. The retainer understood that this place wasn't his master's store where his words held authority. Even when a C-rank spirit qi professional visited, they would need to be polite to him. If a B-rank spirit qi professional sought help from his master, they would also need to treat him with respect.
