Ye Xiaofan doesn't mind accommodating people like Nalan Linyun, because here, it's not just about power, but also 'connections'. Heavy Sword Peak holds significant weight in the Divine Sword Sect, now filled with numerous terrifying figures. Naturally, he won't antagonize Nalan Linyun for a momentary show of force.
Dugu Nan had also once told him that in this cultivation world full of schemes and deception, sometimes it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person. Saying a few agreeable words can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Although Nalan Linyun isn't exactly a sinister petty person, he's not far off. To argue over reputation with such people and put oneself in danger is really not worthwhile. Ye Xiaofan understands the principle of fearing not the enemy's intimidation, but the petty person stabbing you in the back.
