[ He locates his fan in his robes to open it up to cover the lower half of his face. Shen Qingqiu feels like any smile that he should give at this point might come off as an insult rather than attempting to lighten the mood. As such, he has the means to save them both from what is essentially a problem that he landed squarely in poor Yuheng's lap! ]

Immortal Master Yuheng. [ He chooses a much more polite manner to refer to him. I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry I was so flippant before! Even if you understand it, this old man cannot apologize enough!! ] I have troubled you greatly.

Even now, you're being troubled by this one's actions. [ Like! Obviously! You! Are!! ] If I do not show my proper thanks and gratitude, I fear I will have no face to show you ever. [ Let's just say it how it is, okay? If he doesn't apologize at this very moment, he won't ever be able to forgive himself!! ]

Immortal Master Yuheng, you must have known that these flowers cause such ... behavior... yet you took them from me. I'm grateful for you saving me from further embarrassment, but... [ It's really shitty to leave you like this! Do you think I'm just going to wave bye-bye and run? No way!! That's a good way to make a life-long grudge!! It's a good way to blacken a person's reputation forever! Sure, it isn't the same as killing someone or anything of the sort, but it's leaving a newly arrived individual in a rough patch!! ]
