I'm confused.
'Rar! I got angry at the main character!'
'Erm, City Lord, the reason you were snubbed is that the reason our family's refiner advanced so quickly is entirely due to his pointers. You really, really shouldn't snub him or get into a grudge with him. I'm trying to give you honest advice.'
'Hm. You're right. I need to think of some way to make up for how rude I was!'
It's a cultivation story, where someone was antagonistic to the MC, and then went 'man, that's a bad idea, I should make it up to him so he doesn't have a grudge and I can benefit from his knowledge too'.
I am SO confused right now.
That sort of thing never happens in these stories!
