Even the Hidden House you had to avoid the conflict, and Zhaolong didn't want to get himself killed. His brother may be the last disciple of the fifth elder, but he wasn't an elder yet. He'd need Zhaoming's help to get out of this mess first, and it wasn't a good thing to piss Lin Yi off now.
That was why Zhaolong thanked Lin Yi-he didn't want Lin Yi to come looking for trouble when he got back.
"Do your words count in the valley?" Lin Yi asked faintly.
"Under the valley? What did I say?" Zhaolong started playing dumb. It was one thing to be nice, but it was a matter of principle. There was no one else in the valley, and he couldn't just say it in front of you Panhu, he didn't want to embarrass house Kang.
"It's nothing," Lin Yi knew that Zhaolong would go back on his word, but he didn't care. He was only engaged to Xinyan, and even if they were to talk about marriage, Lin Yi wouldn't care.
