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

Qin: "...?"

What kind of official position is this? Well, it's not surprising that Inazuma-sha, which is in charge of the cultural field, would have a "Chief Fireworks Maker".

Mondstadt and Inazuma were locked in a magical duel, while Winter was completely dominating the area. No one was bothering to chat with the two executives, and the two colleagues didn't even speak to each other, making the atmosphere quite awkward.

Finally, Dadalia decided to break his silence.

“Arechino, Her Majesty the Queen…”

"There were no orders, I was simply told to travel from the end of winter to Guili County to answer the invitation of the new Rock God."

D'Artagnan said with some doubt, "Her Majesty the Queen has her reasons. What I want to ask is, you wouldn't be like some executor, planning to act on your own, would you?"

I'm talking to you, you stragglers!

Like a stragglers, you're just causing trouble for the fools. They've already ascended to the throne; even Her Majesty the Empress can't protect you. You'd better wash your neck clean and wait patiently.

Arecino looked over, her imposing eyes devoid of emotion, her tone equally flat: "Do you think I'm some kind of skirmisher, a monster who only reacts to pressure?"

Indeed, compared to the stragglers, this "father" of the Hearth House is clearly more rational. No one can guess what Arecino is thinking, but there's no need to worry about her suddenly going crazy.

Even if D'Artagnan suddenly went mad, Arecino wouldn't lose her mind. After all, she was a child raised in the House of Hearths and the father of all the children in the House of Hearths; she wasn't a sentimental person.

"Dartaria, I heard you have a good relationship with the new Geo Archon?"

Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan gave a somewhat awkward smile: "I guess so?"

"I need a precise description."

“I don’t contact him, and he won’t contact me either. We haven’t been in touch for a long time. I guess he’s thrown away all the conveniences I gave him back then.”

"I understand, you're just a tool."

Is it really necessary to be so hurtful, Arecino?

Arecino fell silent, instead looking toward a high platform not far away, where a desk was laid out, where the new Rock God would preside over the state banquet.

Similar to the Winter Solstice Mission, the Sumeru Mission was also in a similar situation. Elhesen was the only Sumeru envoy, and he was sitting alone in his seat drinking tea, seemingly unconcerned about his surroundings.

………………

Who exactly is this new Geo Archon?

This question lies deep in the hearts of most people, who just hope it will be unearthed soon.

Good morning, everyone.

A not-so-solemn voice rang out, and almost simultaneously, everyone stopped talking. Whether it was the envoy or the staff of the Sifang Pavilion, they all held their breath and waited for the owner of the voice to appear.

The state banquet has officially begun.

Chapter 197 An Interesting New Rock God

Good morning, everyone.

Slowly emerging from behind the curtain, Ji Ming grinned at the envoys from various countries below the stage, casually waving his hand, showing no trace of imperial airs.

Seeing her own god being so frivolous, Qin silently covered her face, not wanting to say anything more.

Lisa, on the other hand, seemed quite interested, propping her chin up with her hand and smiling broadly, as if observing what changes had occurred in Ji Ming.

Last night, Qin came back with red eyes and a flushed face. She thought Ji Ming was abusing his status and acting recklessly, but now it seems that's not the case.

The little cutie is still the little cutie, the little cutie with lustful thoughts but no guts, just with two more divine hearts, still no guts, tsk tsk tsk.

On Inazuma's side, Naganohara Yoshimiya was very excited and waved to Ji Ming in a generous manner, showing no airs of an envoy. Then, she was pinched on the waist by Kamisato Ayaka beside her.

As for Ayaka Kamisato, she was just as happy to see her old friend again, but her eyes were filled with resentment, like she was watching her husband come home cheating.

Ji Jun, so you weren't joking back then. You won't get old even after getting married...

Is that what you mean? Does lying to your friends make you feel good? That's really awful...

Waving to Naganohara Yomi-no-miya and Kamisato Ayaka, Ji Ming quickly looked away. He had actually felt guilty when he made eye contact with Kamisato Ayaka just now.

Ayaka, you are truly amazing!

"Kakaka!"

Ji Ming: "?!"

How dare you shine a flashlight into the Emperor's eyes! Strip her of her court robes, remove her official hat, and throw her out of the palace...

Oops, sorry for the mix-up.

A series of flashes caught Ji Ming's attention. He looked in the direction of the Fontaine delegation and saw a little girl wearing a beret shrinking her neck and showing a guilty expression, lip-reading "I'm sorry."

Little girl from Fontainebleau, no one told you that when you say sorry, you should show...

Ahem, it's natural for two countries to engage in verbal sparring, and now there are multi-party talks, so let's not bring up this kind of thing; it's too abstract.

The one next to me, about the same height, with a flat chest, is probably the Water God of Fontaine.

It seems to be called Fukaros, but her current name is Funina. There is a Zhongli Pro in Fontainebleau. This water god has nothing better to do, so he brought a little reporter over to eat at the banquet.

That's good; he's the same kind of person as himself.

Ji Ming nodded in satisfaction, which was considered a greeting, and continued to look to the right.

With a voluptuous figure and an air of invincibility on her face, the woman met Ji Ming's gaze without fear, even revealing a hint of excitement and curiosity in her eyes.

It's confirmed, it's Vulcan Mavica.

Wow, two gods have come all at once. Regardless of their true intentions, they've already given Ji Ming a lot of face. Perhaps they can have a deeper exchange in the future.

It refers to diplomacy between the two countries; don't overthink it.

Looking to the right, there's Qin, with whom he had a deep conversation last night, and Aunt Lisa, who's giving him a teasing look. These two are old acquaintances, so there's no need for further introduction.

Looking further to the right, there was Erhesen, a junior from the Zhilun School, who was my fourth brother's junior at Sumeru.

Ji Ming knew very little about this scholar, only that his fourth brother, Chen Huaizhang, had a very good relationship with Elhesen when he was studying in Xumi.

However, compared to the relationship between senior and junior students, the bond between sworn brothers is definitely deeper.

Elheisen, you're the third party!

Ji Ming glanced smugly at Elhesen, and, seeing Elhesen's bewildered look, continued to observe the other delegations.

Yeah, Tartaglia, the tool.

Wait, where is my old friend Rosalyn? Why didn't the Ice God send her over?

I kind of miss that kick I gave her in the butt back then; it felt really good.

Hopefully Rosalyn won't blame Ji Ming; after all, she slapped Wendy.

Even old acquaintances have varying degrees of deep affection; compared to Wendy, that soft parasite, Rosalind is still a little weaker.

As for the man next to D'Artagnan, he's probably also an officer of the Fatui, and a complete stranger at that.

Who cares? If another crazy person like the stragglers comes along, Ji Ming wouldn't mind taking care of two of them at once.

What? You're saying Ice God won't be angry?

No way, it's like those skirmishers. Even if you kill them easily, Ice God would be overjoyed. They attract hatred everywhere under Ice God's name. Even if you kill them, you can say you're cleaning up the house for the Fools.

After observing all the envoys, Ji Ming walked to his seat and said with a smile, "Very good, everyone is very energetic. It seems that my prepared speech will not be of any use. What a pity."

That's right, it's that kind of long, clichéd, and stale stuff, written by the Imperial Writer Sima Yi. That guy had an even worse sense of humor, and he wrote a full 20,000 words.

The format is classical Chinese.

"Today is not a funeral day, so everyone doesn't need to be so serious. You can have a laugh."

As a colleague, Mavica rose to raise her glass and smiled, "Of course, today is a day to celebrate. He has passed away, and although I wasn't very familiar with the former Geo Archon, I still hope that you, the strongest in Liyue, can lead Liyue to continue to survive."

He acknowledges that he is the strongest in Liyue, but not the strongest in Teyvat. It seems that this Fire God came to Guili County with the intention of challenging his colleagues.

"That's nature, that's nature."

The second to stand up was Qin. This girl seemed to have a strange competitive spirit rising within her, and she also raised her cup and said, "Your Majesty, may you live as long as heaven and earth!"

Arecino tilted her head slightly, keenly noticing that the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius used very strange titles and attitudes, unlike how one would treat a foreign monarch.

Interesting. Let's continue to observe.

"Newborn god, may you compose your own legendary opera on this land!"

Seeing that both Vulcan and the Mondstadt delegation had expressed their stance, Frynn was naturally unwilling to fall behind. She lightly touched her chest, her tone so exaggerated that it sounded like she was performing in a play.

Naganohara Yoshimiya cheerfully raised his hand: "Me, me, me, Your Majesty... Pfft!"

An elegant elbow strike interrupted her friend's speech. Ayaka Kamisato, dressed in a kimono, gracefully took over the right to speak: "Honorable Geo Archon, may you always uphold the traditions of the previous Geo Archon and maintain the true spirit of the contract."

They were practically pointing their fingers at him and calling him a big liar.

Ji Ming touched his nose, feeling incredibly embarrassed, but thankfully no one could tell.

"Liyue has a history spanning thousands of years and serves as a model for all nations. I believe the new Geo Archon can inherit all of Liyue's knowledge."

This is Elhesen, there's nothing to criticize.

Finally, it was the Fools' turn to speak. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, D'Artagnan first glanced at Arecino, and after confirming that she had no intention of speaking, he slowly stood up.

D'Artagnan looked up at the platform and found his former ally trying to suppress a laugh, his expression quite strange, which made him want to laugh too.
