Seeing all this, even the Japanese nobles couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves.

In their view, only people like Yuan Shao could be considered truly noble.

After the banquet, Guishan Valley and the Japanese nobles sent people to contact Yuan Shao, presenting him with valuable gifts, hoping to learn from him about his elaborate and noble etiquette.

The mentality of admiring the strong is fully displayed in these people.

Yuan Shao accepted all the requests from these Japanese people and even sent them several bolts of silk as a return gift.

Looking at the smooth and exquisite silk, the Japanese nobles were overjoyed and invited the best tailors to make the same style of clothing for themselves, based on the Hanfu worn by Yuan Shao.

In just a few days, those Japanese completely abandoned their previous clothing and regarded Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) and Han etiquette as the most important.

The Japanese, however, were exceptionally serious and humble in learning these seemingly useless rituals.

They were particularly obsessed with the decadent ideas of Confucianism, believing that learning these ideas would make them stand out from the crowd and highlight their own nobility.

Therefore, all the Japanese, following Confucian etiquette, respectfully addressed Yuan Shao as "Teacher."

In just a few days, Yuan Shao's status among the Japanese nobles rose dramatically.

The women from the noble families of the Japanese, in particular, were captivated by Yuan Shao and showered him with attention, much to his annoyance.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Yuan Shao formally requested negotiations with Guishan Valley.
