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

Gan Yu patted Ji Ming's head and tilted her head to indicate, "Aren't you going to invite us in for a seat?"

Ji Ming quickly stepped aside, revealing a fawning smile: "It's my honor that Senior Sister Gan Yu is willing to visit my home. Please come in, please come in. It would be best if you could stay for the night."

Gan Yu chuckled: "Just one night?"

Ji Ming didn't know how to respond. His face was burning. He realized that he was still the same as when he was a child, unable to resist his senior sister's teasing and blushing very easily.

No, I have to save face by carving cats.

"Lord Yuheng Star, welcome to our home."

"Why do I get the feeling that you're not willing at all?"

No, you're just imagining things.

Ke Qing looked suspicious. It wasn't that she didn't trust Ji Ming, but rather that Ji Ming had a wicked look on his face and seemed to have ill intentions.

In the end, Ke Qing followed Gan Yu inside. She didn't find any traps or encounter any pranks. Instead, she found the courtyard to be quite lively.

It's normal for Xiangling from Wanmintang to be here, since they're childhood sweethearts.

The owner of the Wangsheng Hall, Walnut Hall, is also here. As the landlord and neighbor, it's normal for him to visit often.

This must be Mr. Zhongli, right? I've heard he's very knowledgeable. Keqing even tried to recruit him, but Mr. Zhongli always seemed unwilling.

Now that he's staying in Ji Ming's courtyard house, could it be that he's been recruited by Ji Ming?

It must be said that Ji Ming has a good eye for talent.

Gan Yu nodded to everyone and smiled sweetly, which was her way of greeting them.

Hu Tao, who was practicing calligraphy, became excited as soon as she saw the standard Qilin horn. She pulled the bewildered Gan Yu into the bedroom, not knowing what to talk about.

Is he just making a fuss? Whatever, Ji Ming doesn't smoke pipes anymore, and he hasn't even touched alcohol since returning to Liyue Harbor. What fuss could he possibly have to complain about?

Xiangling ran into the kitchen and started researching new cuisines again.

Looking at the cat-shaped carving, Ji Ming joked, "Lord Yuheng Star, isn't your family preparing for the Lantern Festival?"

Since Ke Qing wasn't very familiar with the people present, Ji Ming decided to save her face. He figured jokes should be reserved for when they were alone, and they should be a little more serious now.

Ke Qing glanced at Ji Ming sideways. It wasn't like this guy hadn't been to her house before. The Li family, despite being a prominent clan, had always been rather cold and impersonal.

Ke Qing would rather stay at Ji Ming's house than at the Li family mansion, where human warmth is scarce. Even though she might be bullied by a certain bastard, she would be happy most of the time, wouldn't she?

Of course, Ke Qing definitely didn't want to stay with Ji Ming. She came to Ji Ming's house as a guest because of his kang (heated brick bed). This thing is perfect for sleeping in late in winter. You feel sleepy as soon as you lie down on it. It's very comfortable.

At Ji Ming's house, there's no need to maintain proper decorum; you can do whatever you want. Even if you throw your shoes around, Ji Ming will pick them up and put them away neatly. Even if you wrap yourself in a blanket, you won't be lectured. Ke Qing really likes Ji Ming's house.

"By the way, are you preparing for the Lantern Festival?"

“As you can see, yes,” Ji Ming smiled. “Want to come along? I happen to need an assistant.”

Damn it, he came here expecting her to work for free.

Ke Qing scoffed, "If you need my help, there will be a fee. Are you prepared?"

Ji Ming feigned surprise: "Lord Yuheng Star is short of money?"

"This isn't about money, is it?"

This guy is playing dumb again.

Seeing Zhongli leave with his hands behind his back, leaving only the two of them and Bai Tang in the courtyard, Ke Qing mercilessly complained, "You little rascal, are you Gan Yu's little tagalong?"

Ji Ming asked curiously, "What makes you say that?"

"You greeted Gan Yu first thing upon arriving, leaving me aside and ignoring me completely. Now you want to use me as labor. Don't you think that's going too far?"

Ji Ming chuckled: "We're like brothers. If Comrade Ke Qing wants any compensation, just name it, and I'll make it happen."

Ke Qing asked with a hint of doubt, "Really?"

"It's real."

"Okay, then find some time to go shopping with me."

Ji Ming: "…………"

Seeing Ji Ming remain silent, Ke Qing said helplessly, "Seriously? You're actually hesitating over such a small request? Are you really that cold-blooded?"

Damn it, how could you be so unmoved by an invitation from a beautiful woman with big headlights and a great figure? Hajiming, you bastard.

Having spent a lot of time with Ji Ming, Ke Qing has learned quite a few witty remarks. However, she's not thick-skinned enough to say them directly, otherwise Ji Ming would definitely tease her mercilessly.

"It's not that I'm hesitating, I'm just thinking about when I'll be free."

Ke Qing exclaimed in shock, "No way! You've evolved into a womanizer?"

Ji Ming glared with dead fish eyes: "Why do you associate me with a womanizer? What do I have in common with a womanizer?"

"There's none?"

Xiangling from Wanmintang, Walnut from Wangshengtang, Sweet Rain from Yuehaiting, and Ke from the General Affairs Department...

Well, not counting her, it's just Ji Ming; he's not enough to attract her.

Unless Ji Ming wants to marry into the family, Ke Qing will only consider it for a few seconds, after all, he is a womanizer with a bunch of women around him.

Ji Ming said helplessly, "Comrade Ke Qing, you have a deep misunderstanding about me. Anyway, I am not a womanizer."

"I understand, you want to give all the girls in the world a home."

Where did you learn those witty remarks?

Surely it wasn't Sister Dudu who taught it again?

(P.S.: Posted on May 1, 2025 – I took a day off at the beginning of the month, and will resume updates as usual the following day.)

Chapter 148 Senior Sister is Also a Master

"Senior Sister Gan Yu, I am innocent."

Inside the bedroom, Ji Ming looked at Gan Yu with lowered eyes. This Qilin Half-Immortal, with her handsome eyebrows raised, rarely showed any signs of annoyance.

Next to him is Hu Tao, who is making a face. It was this girl who secretly complained, which led to Ji Ming being called into the bedroom by his senior sister for a lecture. She was really guilty of a heinous crime.

He thought the accusations were nonsense. After returning from Mondstadt, Ji Ming was very well-behaved during this period. He not only did not go out for a stroll, but he also did not drink recklessly, and he did not even touch his pipe.

The pipe had been kept by Gan Yu and was out of reach, but Ji Ming had no intention of smoking it at the moment, unless he wanted to be lectured by his senior sister.

Even without smoking a pipe, Ji Ming was still lectured by his senior sister because of a long purple hair.

The cat was careless and left evidence on the bed, which was discovered by the sharp-eyed Master Hu and eventually became evidence in court.

Looking at the long purple hair in her hand, Gan Yu smiled with some trouble. She quickly suppressed her angry expression and became somewhat helpless: "Junior Brother Ji Ming, this can't be considered innocent."

Ji Ming took a deep breath and unleashed a palm strike that would kill them both. Under Hu Tao's incredulous gaze, he revealed, "Hu Tao has also slept in my bed."

"Miss Walnut, it's alright."

Enraged, what did Hu Tao do to you?

Even with a flat chest, Hu Tao is a charming and lively girl; even with a flat chest, Hu Tao has curvy thighs; even with a flat chest...

What's wrong with having flat chests?!

The senior sister and junior brother had a perfect understanding; they only needed to look at each other to know what the other was thinking. Ji Ming naturally knew why his senior sister wasn't worried about Hu Tao taking his bed.

It's just that Hu Tao is still a girl, only seventeen years old this year. No matter how perverted Ji Ming is, he would never lay a hand on Hu Tao, or even on the young cook.

Keqing is different. She is twenty-seven years old this year. Except for those staunch believers in the age of eighteen, everyone who comes here must praise Miss Keqing as being in her prime.

She can manage the main hall, the kitchen, and even warm a double bed; she is truly a woman of both literary and martial talents.

In terms of gold content, the cat engraving is unparalleled.

Imagine that Lord Yuheng of Liyue comes to visit you. He has no airs about him in front of you, doesn't mind that you used to be a gang member, and happily comes to inform you that you have become the mayor.

Not only did they send a notice, but they also arrogantly got into your bed. Who could resist that?

If you're not careful, your junior brother might be tempted by the cat and happily pet it in bed.

Gan Yu sighed softly, and through the crack in the window, she glanced at Ke Qing, who was standing outside the kitchen learning to cook. Her helplessness deepened.

It's not that I object to Ji Ming's contact with Ke Qing. My junior brother is also of age. A nineteen-year-old boy is bound to have strange desires, and his curiosity about women will increase exponentially.

But things didn't go well. Ke Qing wasn't the kind of woman who wasn't reserved, so how did she end up in her junior brother's bed for no reason?

Ke Qing is lusting after her own junior brother's body?

No, that won't do. My junior brother can lust after Ke Qing's body, but Ke Qing can't lust after my junior brother's body. That's a fundamental principle.

Seeing the two senior and junior disciples exchanging glances, Hu Tao finally couldn't help but mutter, "Miss Gan Yu, Ji Ming is so shameless, he needs to be taught a lesson."

Ji Ming glanced sideways and asked, "Who's been sleeping in my bed all the time?"

Hu Tao flashed her little tiger teeth: "Strictly speaking, this is my bed."

"I rented it."

"But you haven't paid rent even once!"

Well, Grandpa Ji Ming is a staunch believer in living off his wife and has never paid rent.

Hu Tao pressed her advantage: "And your clothes, I bought them all for you. As for furniture and other things, Wang Sheng Tang also prepared them for you."
