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

Qin ignored Ji Ming, just stared at him and shed tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a flatterer."

"That wasn't flattery!"

"What's that called?"

Qin, still shedding tears, blushed and stammered, "Call, call..."

Ji Ming immediately understood: "I get it, this is what it means to act cute."

"If you see through it, don't say it out loud. You're such a terrible god, absolutely terrible!"

It's really pointless to see Qin get angry. Her serious little expression suddenly turns into a pitiful look, and she stares at you with her eyes wide open. You'll soon feel guilty because of that look.

She occasionally says some cute, angry things, but it would be better if Barbara said them. After all, she's a little angel, and when she's being affectionate, she comes across as adorable rather than authoritative.

Taking advantage of Qin's angry words, Ji Ming acted decisively, immediately wiping away her tears and replying, "It is quite terrible. Do you want a refund?"

Qin wasn't really angry. Of course, she knew her attitude was a bit strange. When Ji Ming saw through her, she simply acted like a little girl, trying to get rid of the pressure she had been accumulating over the years.

I don't usually have a suitable person to confide in, and I can't tell Lisa and the others about my various negative emotions. The atmosphere in my family is very oppressive, and it's really hard to keep it all inside.

Now that the pressure on Ji Ming has been cleared, this Fengshen is actually somewhat useful.

"I want to return the item, what should I do?"

"I'm sorry, it's been seven days, so it can't be refunded now."

Having shed her usual pretense, Qin rolled her eyes dramatically, though, thanks to her good upbringing, she wasn't quite adept at it.

"Then what did you say about returning the goods?"

"Let me comfort you, you're crying so sadly."

Jean sat down on the other side of the chair, cupped her face and complained, "Is it enough to just coax me? This time I was being cute and charming not for anything else, but just to make you take Mondstadt seriously and not be a hands-off manager."

Ji Ming was a little embarrassed: "I did forget back then, but I've been working diligently these past few months. The climate in Mondstadt is quite pleasant."

"Snapped!"

Her emotions, which had just calmed down, were reignited. Jean's eyes reddened again. She slammed her hand on the table, her lips pursed, and said, "What do you mean, 'you Mondstadt'?!"

Ji Ming shrugged, maintaining his bottom line while unleashing his mischievous side: "But I am now the Little Emperor of Liyue, and I have to think about Liyue."

"You're still the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt!"

After saying that, Jean suddenly felt a little tired, and simply stretched out her left hand and said, "Don't you want to be the Wind God anymore? Otherwise, you can return the Heart of God to Mondstadt."

Holding this small hand with calluses on its base, one could tell it was someone who frequently practiced martial arts with a sword, but overall it was still very soft. Ji Ming felt a pang of sympathy for this strong yet fragile woman.

He was about the same age as him, but he had to govern a country and a group much earlier, so he must have undergone a lot of training.

"What, does Your Majesty want to read my palm?" Qin didn't struggle, obediently letting Ji Ming touch her, but she didn't hold back with her words, "It doesn't sound good to bully the acting commander in the yamen."

Ji Ming chuckled and said, "I am destined to meet you, young lady. I would like to give you two words. These two words are written on your palm. Please try to guess them."

"What a childish god."

Even so, Qin still opened her palms and stared intently at Ji Ming's every move.

They truly are sisters; in some ways, they are exactly the same in terms of cuteness.

Ji Ming composed himself, placed his left hand on the back of Qin's hand, and began to write and draw with his right index finger, moving very slowly, as if afraid that Qin would not be able to guess.

Qin didn't blink at all. Every time Ji Ming's fingers brushed across her palm, she would whimper involuntarily. The itchy feeling made her want to pull her hand back, but seeing Ji Ming's hardening expression, she had no choice but to soften.

Are those strokes, one left and one right, Liyue script?

That's outrageous! The Anemo Archon is playing a word game with the Mondstadt Knights using Liyue script. It seems I'll have to teach him Mondstadt script from now on. This is the first step in winning back the Anemo Archon, and I must succeed perfectly.

Seeing Qin start to stare blankly, Ji Ming couldn't help but want to laugh. He finished writing the last two strokes, paused for a few seconds, and then saw the serious-looking acting leader dumbfounded.

"Guess what, my blonde ponytail lady."

Qin blinked: "Can we do it again, my black-haired dual-god?"

"No, you only get one chance. Take your time guessing."

Releasing his grip on the zither, Ji Ming prepared to finish his work, adding, "I apologize again. I will keep an eye on Mond. Also, those two words just now were related to the mind and emotions; I hope you can guess what they were."

Qin wanted to say something more, but she saw Ji Ming wave his hand, clearly indicating that he was seeing her off.

What's wrong with you? You made the person cry and then frantically tried to comfort them. After comforting them, you wanted to send them away. How awful.

After tidying up Ji Ming's desk, Qin left the inner office of the prefect's residence. She looked down at her palm, at the strokes of her hand...

Is it freedom? At least she still has some conscience. With the blessing of the wind god who represents freedom, Qin's mood improved a lot.

With a smile, Qin turned to look at the figure reflected on the window paper, feeling the lingering warmth on the back of her hand. She blushed and kissed him, the sound just loud enough for the people in the room to hear.

"I hope you are as free as the Wind God."

Then, Qin fled like the wind.

Just steps away from the yamen, in the reception room of the prefect's residence, Al-Haisen and Chen Huaizhang looked at each other, and the atmosphere became heavy.

"Senior, isn't the Emperor and the Qin Troupe Leader...?"

“Be careful what you say, Ninth... The Emperor has his own reasons for doing things, and we know nothing about them.”

The atmosphere fell silent again. The fellow disciples who had just been trying to build rapport were now in turmoil.

Chapter 196 VIPs lined up in droves

In the open-air conference hall of the Four Directions Pavilion, all the envoys and dignitaries from various countries had arrived. The number of people was not large, with an average of only one or two key personnel from each country. The rest of the attendants were not qualified to participate in this meeting.

Led by a young clerk from Liyue, Jean held her breath and slowly sat down, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to the two distinguished guests on her left.

Yes, a distinguished guest in the literal sense.

Vulcan, the goddess of fire; Fucarus, the goddess of water.

Thinking about it carefully, there's really nothing to be surprised about. It was Lord Ji Ming who first extended the invitation, and out of respect for the new Rock God, anyone whose own god is capable of doing so would probably accept the invitation.

Lord Ji Ming is the Wind God, but this needs to be kept secret for the time being, so he had to use the old-fashioned excuse that "Barbatos has fallen into a deep sleep".

As for the Ice God, He himself did not come, or rather, He has not left Winter for a long time. He sent two Fools' Executors.

[Prince] D'Artagnan, [Servant] Arecino, this pair of colleagues seemed to be at odds; the two sat at the same table but never even made eye contact.

Arecino seemed to care a lot about the water god. Although she appeared to be well-mannered on the surface, she did not try to hide the oppressive feeling in her eyes.

"Whoa, why is this guy looking at me like that?"

Fukaros, or rather, Funina, seemed flustered and quickly asked Charlotte beside her, "Little reporter, do you have a grudge against that guy?"

As a reporter for Steambird Newspaper, Charlotte has always upheld the spirit of reporting the truth. Whether on the streets or in the deep sea or on the mountaintop, her reports often evoke a variety of reactions, from praise to anger, and sometimes even lead to the removal of the report or danger to herself.

For this reason, Furness began to suspect that Charlotte's report might have angered the fierce female executive.

"Absolutely not... I have never interviewed the Fools. Lady Fryna, please don't scare me. I don't know that executor."

Charlotte was also flustered. She was just a junior reporter for Steambird Newspaper, and her only purpose in coming here was to publish a firsthand report on the new Rock God in the country.

The Fools have absolutely nothing to do with her!

Beside Furina, Mavica remained remarkably calm, abruptly joining the conversation between the two "ruler and subject" with a nonchalant tone: "It's alright, I will protect you, Furcalos."

Fu Ningna was startled: "Eh? Eh? Eh?"

Oh no, it's Nata's war maniac!

"Don't look at me like that. Although Nata and Fontaine don't know each other well, we are still colleagues, so there's no need to look at me like that."

Having said that, Mavica laughed heartily, "Hahaha, if you're willing, I'd like to have a little spar with Fucaros. I wonder if the Water God..."

"do not want!"

The Nata people are indeed war-crazed!

Frynn decided to ignore Vulcan. Nata and Winter seemed strange to her, and she began to regret her decision. She thought it would have been better to sit next to the Mondstadt delegation, the Sumeru delegation, or the Inazuma delegation, as those two countries seemed much more friendly.

Mavica was no fool. Despite being the strongest Nata in five hundred years, she actually enjoyed thinking. Seeing that Funina didn't want to talk to her, she didn't continue to make trouble for herself.

Instead of idly chatting with people who don't like you, it's better to patiently wait for the new Rock God to appear, and hopefully He will be an interesting deity.

Compared to the Three Kingdoms delegation, which was enacting a dramatic Three Kingdoms story, Mondstadt and Inazuma's side were quite normal.

"Miss Kamisato is so young and has such a beautiful appearance. I really envy her."

Lisa's words made Ayaka Kamisato cover her mouth and smile. She wasn't a child, and she wouldn't lose her composure just because she was praised. She immediately flattered, "Miss Lisa is very elegant. I really want to be a woman like Miss Lisa, but unfortunately I still have too little experience."

The two of them were cunning enough to make anyone shrewd. Qin was a little helpless, but she didn't bother Lisa. She turned to look at the blonde girl who was grinning at her.

“Ms. Naganohara, I heard that you are not an official member of Inazuma.”

"It wasn't before, but it is now!"

Naganohara Yoshimiya smiled generously and said, "I wanted to see an important friend, so I joined the company and am currently working under Ayaka."

Strange, everyone here is here to see old friends, including her own reason. Could it be that people from every country have a friend from Liyue?

Qin expressed her understanding: "May I ask what position Ms. Naganohara holds?"

Naganohara Yoshimiya, head held high and hands on hips, proudly declared, "Chief Fireworks Maker."
