Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Page 143

Unfortunately, Liyue Harbor is a bit too noisy. Although Mount Aozang is secluded, it is quiet. Shenhe hasn't shown any unusual behavior for a long time, so it would be good to take her to Liyue Harbor or Guili County for a visit.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said with a hint of resentment, "From now on, come and visit me and your senior sister more often. You haven't come to visit Aozang Mountain for so long. I thought you had become a silly child who only knew how to work, just like Gan Yu."

Ji Ming smiled: "Next time, for sure."

Chapter 180 Blinding My Old Friend's Eyes

"Your Majesty, how could this be..."

Inside the cave, the now calm Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was somewhat surprised. In her human form, she leaned against the stone bed and looked at Ji Ming with a gratified gaze.

A handsome, short man stood silently to the side, arms crossed, gazing at the scene outside the cave. Since learning that Ji Ming had become the Wind God, Xiao felt that nothing would surprise him anymore.

It's simply that Ji Ming is favored by the Emperor and is about to become the new Emperor of Liyue. As time goes by and history changes, even the Emperor will become sentimental. Abdication is probably a reasonable thing.

Huh, when did he become so enlightened?

Xiao looked up at Ji Ming. Could it be that this child... the Little Emperor's singing voice also has the effect of enlightening the mind? That's great. In the future, if any immortal can't withstand the wear and tear, just let the Little Emperor howl a couple of times.

The two immortals had completely opposite emotions. As a disciple of the True Lord, Shen He felt nothing except for a surge of pride. Her mental process was simple and brutal, highlighting her wildness.

Wow, it's the Emperor's decree of abdication!

Wait, I don't think I've ever seen the Emperor before?

Oh, the Little Emperor is my junior brother!

Cool, for the little emperor!

Don't you see, the usually aloof white-haired fairy is now gazing at Ji Ming with tenderness, without uttering a word.

Ji Ming smiled politely. He had received a red string gift from his second senior sister, but now he didn't wear it on his wrist. Instead, he moved it to his waist to tie the dragon-head jade ruyi, which could be considered as using the item for two purposes.

The problem is, this inexplicable feeling of goodwill comes from nowhere, and it's unsettling to think about it.

While it was supposed to be a friendship between senior and junior classmates, Ji Ming always felt something was off, as if there was some unclear impurity mixed in.

It's supposed to be love between partners or spouses, but it clearly doesn't meet that standard, and it's rather strange.

Forget it, since it's bothering me, I'll stop thinking about it. Whatever kind of emotion it is, Ji Ming will just accept it all.

Hehehe, they're all my wives!

Silently raging in his heart, Ji Ming's dazed appearance was quickly noticed by Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun. She patted the little disciple's back lightly with some displeasure and flicked his forehead.

"From now on, you will be the Little Emperor. Do not disgrace the name of the Liyue Immortal Clan, and even more so, do not disgrace the title of the Rock God," Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was still troubled, but his tone unconsciously became gentle. "Also, if you encounter difficulties, do not forget that this immortal is your master."

"Disciple, please remember this."

Watching the deeply moving master-disciple drama, Xiao suddenly understood and immediately began to count silently: 'Three...two...one...'

Sure enough, as Xiao counted to "one," Ji Ming revealed a standard comical face and began to wink at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, whose smile had frozen.

"Master, Master, from now on you'll be the Imperial Tutor! Aren't you happy? Your eldest disciple is the Seven Star Secretary, your second disciple is the universally acknowledged White-Haired Fairy, and your third disciple is the Little Emperor! Aren't you thrilled?"

"You unfilial disciple, the title of the Little Emperor is not for us to flaunt!"

Back then, the Emperor swept across the land, leading the immortals and allies to establish a stable sanctuary in Guili Plains. After countless hardships and trials, and the loss of many reliable colleagues, the journey from Guili Plains to Liyue Harbor was fraught with danger and hardship.

It was normal for the Emperor to rule Liyue, given his already high prestige, or at the very least, for his disciples to rule it. I never expected that the young Emperor would be one of my own disciples.

To be honest, I actually felt quite pleased.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun suddenly felt guilty and reached out to pinch Ji Ming's face hard to cover up his guilt.

Xiao saw through it but didn't say anything, so he changed the subject: "So, the second decree is still nowhere to be found."

Shen He blinked, his face expressionless: "Yes, it is said to be with some immortal being. Is it in Master's hands? If so, please hand it over as soon as possible, so as not to delay Junior Brother's coronation ceremony in a few days."

In an instant, the cave was filled with the atmosphere of a full-blown fight, and a good show called "Master's Kindness and Disciple's Filial Piety" was staged.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun stared wide-eyed, saying in disbelief, "Shen He, you child... is your master more important or your junior brother?"

Shen He remained silent for a moment. Faced with this crucial question, she chose a universal answer: "They are all important."

'My junior brother is more important.'

With eyes focused on the nose and nose focused on the heart, Xiao stood still and didn't say a word, but took the opportunity to translate his cheap niece's inner thoughts, which made him a little amused.

Just kidding. Shen He has an awkward personality, but she would never lie to those close to her. She probably genuinely thinks her master and junior brother are equally important.

Ji Ming coughed a few times, interrupting the sitcom of master-disciple affection, and analyzed, "The decree is definitely not with Master, and probably not with Granny Ping either. I'm not very familiar with Granny Ping. If the decree is with her, she will probably send Xiangling to test me."

Xiao asked, "Who is Xiangling?"

Ji Mingmiao replied, "I am... cough cough, Grandma Ping's disciple, my childhood sweetheart."

"I see."

Seeing that Xiao had no further questions, Ji Ming continued his analysis: "Let me think, is Yan Fei considered a celestial being? If so, the imperial decree probably doesn't reside with her."

Why? Because Yanfei is relatively unknown among the Liyue Immortals. Compared to her father's mythical beast bloodline, her mother's human bloodline is significantly more prominent. You can think of her as a pretty little girl with mythical beast horns.

Yes, she's a beautiful little girl who's at least over fifty years old. Her father's bloodline of immortal beasts is indeed more powerful.

"I have met Yanfei's father. Although her mother is old and frail, she is still alive and traveling the world with Yanfei's father."

"So, what is Master's conclusion?"

"None of Yan Fei's family members have received the Emperor's decree."

Ji Ming understood. Analyzing his master's words, it was clear that Yan Fei's family had been excluded from the Emperor's considerations. After all, Yan Fei's parents had been traveling, and Yan Fei, as a celestial being, was too young.

Shen He promptly reminded him: "So, the Emperor will probably send the decree to a senior immortal with long service and advanced age?"

Ji Ming nodded in agreement: "Very likely."

Xiao and Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun exchanged a glance and simultaneously uttered two names: "Li Shui Die Shan and Xiao Yue Zhu Yang?!"

Oh, they are two elders I've never met before.

Quietly moving closer to Shen He, Ji Ming reached out and touched the back of her hand, only to have it grasped by hers. Helpless, he didn't pull away and asked softly, "Senior Sister, have you seen these two before?"

With his expression still aloof, Shen He tilted his head slightly, leaned closer, and whispered, "We've met many times and have a good relationship. Both of you True Lords are worthy of respect as elders."

Oh, they are two respectable elders; the decree is likely in their hands.

The younger generation holding hands was something that Xiao and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun could only pretend not to see. The former suggested, "Why don't we go to Qingyun Peak and Hulao Mountain to search? Perhaps we can get the news of the imperial decree."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun naturally agreed, but hesitated: "It doesn't seem like it. I met with them by the lake just a few days ago and didn't notice anything wrong."

As longtime friends, Li Shui Die Shan and Xiao Yue Zhu Yang must know that she has taken on a disciple. If they receive the Emperor's decree, they will definitely reveal some clues.

"In any case, I want to visit my two elders. Even if the imperial decree is not in their hands, this visit can still be considered as my way of showing respect to them."

"Alright, let's go together."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun had a calm expression, but she was secretly delighted. She wished she could fly to the front of Li Shui Die Shan and Xiao Yue Zhu Yang right now and show off her disciple who was about to become a little emperor.

Look, this is my little apprentice. He's going to perform a little magic trick for you. It's so much fun!

Oh, and then what?

Look, my disciple has become a little emperor! Isn't this little magic interesting? Why don't you come and kowtow?

Hehehe, this feeling is so awesome, isn't it? Watch how she dazzles her two old friends.

Chapter 181 Immortal Rice Crust

Morax, what are you up to?

After visiting the two elder immortals, Ji Ming found his master, senior sister, and uncle-master chatting and reminiscing with the two True Lords, while he remained alone, lost in thought.

In the past, Ji Ming wouldn't have been so powerless, leaving his elders hanging after just a greeting.

But things are different now. It's obvious that the decree is not in the hands of the two True Lords. This can be seen from the conversation between their master and the two True Lords.

Ignoring the polite formalities, Ji Ming could tell that the two True Lords weren't really interested in him. Compared to him, the younger generation, they were clearly more enthusiastic towards Shen He.

If the decree were in the hands of the two True Lords, they probably wouldn't be so calm; at the very least, they would have revealed some clues.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." The two True Lords were constantly catching up with Shen He, only occasionally asking about Ji Ming's situation when they had a spare moment. It was clear that they were only doing so out of respect for their master; otherwise, they would never have paid him any attention.

Whether they pay attention or not is irrelevant; the key issue is that the decree is not in the hands of the two True Lords, which is very troublesome. There are only a few famous immortals in the entire Liyue region. If the scope of the investigation is to include all immortals in Liyue, who knows how long it will take to find them.

They didn't give us any clues at all, which is a bit of a headache.

"Don't be disappointed. It's not that Lishui Dieshan and Xiaoyue Zhuyang look down on you. Rather, they prefer a pure immortal disciple like Shenhe to a junior like you who has traveled the mortal world."

Seemingly worried that Ji Ming might misunderstand and leave a bad impression of Lishui Dieshan and Xiaoyue Zhuyang, Xiao came over and explained a few words. After thinking carefully about his words, he was puzzled and stood there in a daze.

He wasn't very good at speaking to begin with, and his explanation only seemed to deepen the misunderstanding.

How to put it? It sounds like these two True Lords are deliberately showing favoritism, giving the impression that they are not treating each other fairly.

Ji Ming waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I'm just a nominal disciple of Master. As long as Master and my two senior sisters acknowledge me, that's enough. The opinions of other immortals are not important to me."

It's normal that they weren't very enthusiastic. Both True Lords prefer peace and quiet and seclusion, so they naturally don't like seasoned human types. Ji Ming has been in Liyue for so many years, and people's hearts have long been corrupted.

His master was a heretic, and he probably took him as a disciple because of his deceased parents.

Xiao asked curiously, "Does that include me?"

Ji Ming grinned: "What, Uncle-Master Xiao still doesn't approve of me?"
