...Though I also think he ultimately would have helped a stranger, if he could manage it at all, in the context of "Dixingren accidentally harms Haixingren with their power." *big shrug???*

He doesn't move to save Butler Wu until the SID plead for it, but he almost certainly would have tried once he'd taken the body away, if only because he wanted to ask about Ding Dun's expedition. (And I can't remember -- what causes Butler Wu's death? That wasn't a Dixingren attack, was it?)
ETA: I also think that whether or not he would have acted to save random victim #254 depends on how critical he believes it is that he keep his Envoy identity secret... if the fate of the world depends on it (which you could argue it does, if the timeline is upset and ZYL doesn't go back and save the young Envoy's life, so they can retrieve the Hallows together)...
