Xin Mang was right, in a place where they were strangers, finding a familiar guide was most efficient.
But Yang Yu felt that if he simply agreed to her, it would be like owing her a huge favor.
And favors were the hardest things to repay in this world.
Considering possible future developments, Yang Yu did not want to abandon his own plans just because he had to repay someone else's favor.
So, he could only pretend to be reluctant, behaving as if he could manage without her.
He did not want to struggle between repaying favors and continuing his plans.
A favor borrowed had to be repaid, but the situation still needed consideration.
On important matters, Yang Yu would not compromise.
By acting disdainfully, at least others, after being rejected, would think that it was just his nature and not harbor too much resentment.
However, it seemed that Xin Mang was not the type to use favors to ask for help; she purely enjoyed helping others.
