Sorry to say , but sometimes the asks for his own beatings by pretending to be higher than other

well HE IS an eminence and HE is a patriarch, so HE IS above the disciples and at the same time he has the same ranking that that old man, he might not have followers or an army but if you are a king would you let common people disrespect you and your ancestors? Or would you crawl in front of others kings?.. is THAT kind of pride the one he shows... you can call it "honor"

A king without followers is no king though... That being said, I do understand where he's coming from. He has his memories from our world and era, and thus the sensibilities of our world/era. Combined with the memories of the original lin feng whom was always abused and seen as a nobody even though he was the son of a clan leader. Plus the world he's in now values strength above all else. He's always stronger than the people that are rude to him or try to abuse him. It's just that then the other party always calls in "big strong daddy" (or brother or friend or whatever) to "fix" the problem they created.
I wish my house was like his, all technological and tings
