It's indeed very straightforward.
Wang Yunxiao chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Then you must have heard it wrong."
"Yes, Commander Wang says you heard it wrong, so you heard it wrong. If you've eaten your fill and have nothing to do, I can spar with you one-on-one!"
Liu Zhimao has maximum favorability towards Wang Yunxiao, basically to the point of unconditionally defending him.
This is due to several factors.
First, Wang Yunxiao's teacher Liu Zhihan is his relative. Although by land people's standards the relation is somewhat distant, they are indeed relatives, rounding up it's practically like family.
Secondly, last time, while leading a team to capture Yang Jian, he was taken for a walk like a dog with no power to resist, which was a terrible humiliation. Wang Yunxiao helped him avenge it, essentially being his benefactor.
