"This..." At this moment, Jiang Wushang felt a bit awkward, unsure whether to accept it or not, so he looked towards Chu Feng and Zhang Tianyi.
"Junior Brother Wushang, accept it. After all, Senior Brother Yu He has taken good care of us. It's only right for you to look out for each other in the future."
Chu Feng smiled slightly. He had always believed in repaying kindness. Although Yu He's initial reasons for approaching them weren't entirely pure, he had helped them in the end, so it was only fitting to show him some consideration.
As for the others, since Yu He was willing to bring them along, they must be close to him. Letting them benefit a bit through Yu He's connection wouldn't hurt.
Hearing Chu Feng's words, Jiang Wushang didn't hesitate. He took the congratulatory gifts one by one.
"Ah, thank you Junior Brother Chu Feng, thank you Junior Brother Wushang, thank you, thank you!" What left Chu Feng and the others speechless was that after Jiang Wushang accepted the gifts, Yu He and his group actually kept bowing and thanking Chu Feng's group repeatedly. This shameless level of flattery was truly remarkable.
"Senior Sister Su Rou, Senior Sister Su Mei!"
"Junior Brother Jiang Wushang, Junior Brother Zhang Tianyi! Are you living here?"
But just as they had accepted the gifts from Yu He and his group, a rather loud yet gentle voice came from outside.
It turned out that others had also learned about Su Rou and Su Mei becoming disciples under a Heaven-grade mentor and had come to offer gifts, trying to build a relationship.
However, Jiang Wushang and the others did not accept the gifts from these people. The reason was simple: accepting gifts creates obligations.
It wasn't that they were bad at socializing, but there was truly no need to socialize with people who were purely trying to use them.
When you're thriving, they might obey your every command, working like oxen and horses for you. But if one day you fall on hard times, they'll not only watch your misfortune but might even kick you when you're down. It was best to stay away from such people.
Thus, after several waves of people came and went, even Jiang Wushang and the others couldn't stand it anymore, as these people were persistent and not easy to deal with.
But while Chu Feng and the others were at their wit's end, Yu He and his few companions were quite pleased with themselves.
They weren't taking pleasure in others' misfortune, but rather happy that Chu Feng's group had accepted their gifts.
After all, their own status in the Four Seas Academy wasn't very high, while those who had just come to offer gifts all had higher status than them.
Yet this group of seemingly important people had all been turned away one by one by Chu Feng's group, while they had received the treatment of honored guests.
This really made it hard for them not to feel smug. For the first time, among their fellow disciples at the Four Seas Academy, they had found a sense of superiority.
"Junior brothers and sisters, your fame is truly too great now. Many people will come to build connections with you."
"Waiting here like this will never end. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight. Why don't I take you to find a different place to stay?" However, in his moment of satisfaction, Yu He didn't forget to help Chu Feng's group out of their predicament. He proactively made a suggestion.
"Oh? Senior Brother Yu He, can you find us a quiet place to rest where we won't be disturbed?" Jiang Wushang was quite puzzled. They lived here, and those people had still found them. Would changing their location really stop them?
