Ji Shoumo and the other two paid no mind to Jiang Man's mention of rest.
With the two chiming in with each other, they kept feeling that this was a performance put on for their benefit.
All to demonstrate his determination.
They only found this sort of thing a little childish.
But he was still young, so a few childish ideas were perfectly normal.
At least his starting point was to make people think he was hardworking.
Knowing how to put on an act was not a bad thing either.
He simply lacked a little polish. They could train him slowly.
What they feared were people who charged straight ahead in everything; those people could easily invite enormous trouble.
Encountering someone like that would give them headaches too.
"Tomorrow is when you formally join. There should be others in the Small Courtyard, so we can analyze who poses a threat to you then. As for accommodation, we need to stay near you to ensure your safety." Ji Chenfeng paused, then explained:
"We aren't monitoring you. This is to better understand your situation, and of course to better guide your cultivation. There is also an element of keeping you from slacking off.
"But it won't extend to your private affairs."
Ji Chenfeng felt that he had to explain everything clearly when communicating with these people. The slightest carelessness could lead to a misunderstanding.
Then it would become a matter of disrespect.
Especially since their cultivation was low, which might make them more sensitive.
One came from the countryside, the other from a remote collateral line.
What they needed most was respect.
Otherwise, it would only create more trouble.
"We were just about to look for accommodation. Can we stay for free?" Jiang Man immediately asked.
"Is it free in your sect?"
