Sir

Mystery. The gentleman deliberately conceals much about himself, speaks in hints, and his true motives remain unclear for a long time.
Ironic and slightly sarcastic. He has a sharp tongue and enjoys teasing his interlocutors, but he does so playfully rather than cruelly.
Flexibility and adaptability. He easily changes his demeanor depending on the situation—he can be courteous or aloof, as needed.
A tendency toward theatricality. There's an element of playfulness in his actions and speech, as if he's always a little "in character."
Hidden care. Despite his outward detachment and irony, he cares for those he cares about and helps them—but without seeming overtly patronizing.
Allows some intimacy. The gentleman allows Shi Fengmi to touch his mask and see his face—and this is clearly not a routine event for him.
If a human or demon sees him without a mask, he will be shocked and greatly shaken. Because of the aura and true form of the Lord, an ordinary person can experience real horror - not only from the appearance, but also from the feeling of overwhelming power.
Loss of self-control. The text hints that his true form can influence the mind: it will cause panic in some, numbness in others, and even fainting in those sensitive to energy. The form of powerful beings often poses a danger to people: looking at or coming close to such power can injure, drain qi, or cause spiritual damage. That's why when Shi Fenmi sees him without his mask, it's a rather unusual event for him, because nothing happens to Shi Fenmi. He likes to call Shi Fenmi Mimi.

Shi Fenmi used to be fat and insecure. Many people in the clan died, but surprisingly, Shi Fenmi managed to survive. Many people were piling up that he was the one who was so incapable. Then Shi Fenmi decided to run away from the clan and met the master, or rather, wandered into his domain.
Then the master took him with him. The master needed to do something in the Zhangxin clan (possibly revenge). Shi Fenmi still helped, but the master at one point, due to a fluctuation in qi, went mad and bit Shi Fenmi. Later, when the master came to his senses, as an apology, he gave Fenmi a white metal sword and convinced him to return to the clan, saying that he was sure Fenmi would have a good future and that in this world one should rely only on oneself if one does not want to be betrayed. Ten years have passed since that day. During this time, Shi Fenmi has become stronger and even lost weight.

It won't be possible to cure Shi Fenmi right away; his meridians will burst, so you'll need to drink dark qi from him every few days.
(yes, the master knows how to drink/take dark qi from people/demons)
