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

No one questioned whether the Emperor's decision was correct, and the Little Emperor's decision would not be wrong either; this was the opinion of the people of Liyue.

Meanwhile, in the distant pavilion, representatives of several major clans remained silent. They dared not question, nor did they have the power to do so.

Morax is wise and powerful, but he only descends to the mortal realm once a year and does not interfere in the affairs of ordinary people. Therefore, it is easy for him to annex land and send his clan members to various worlds.

Unlike Morax, Ji Ming, the young emperor, resides in Guili County and keeps a close eye on the movements throughout Liyue. Now, he has decided to take personal control of Liyue, which is a very dangerous sign.

We must find a solution. The heritage accumulated over thousands of years must not be lost in their generation.

Is it the gecko shedding its tail to survive, or...?

It seems that only one option remains.

None of you here are fools. Those who became clan representatives and clan leaders were all selected through a brutal process back then, so you are all aware of this.

Moreover, the young emperor on the high platform was already staring intently in their direction, clearly aware of their location.

With such extraordinary abilities, what can they possibly do?

The Kun family head forced a smile and said, "That's enough. On behalf of the Kun family, I am determined to obey the Little Emperor's decree, resign from my position as Yao Guang Star, and allow the Kun family members of the Thousand Rock Army to retire and return home."

Ha, what a pathetic begging for survival.

The head of the Li family remained silent, only glancing towards the Yun family, where Uncle Tian resided. The Yun family's representative was a middle-aged man, presumably Uncle Tian's son.

This Yun family is not the same as that Yun family; one family has been involved in politics and business for generations, while the other has been dedicated to traditional opera for generations.

Both are powerful and prestigious families, but the Yun family, to which Uncle Tian belongs, is clearly superior. Perhaps the two Yun families belonged to the same clan a long time ago, but they are ultimately not comparable.

The middle-aged man looked worried: "I can only consult my father about this matter. I can only represent one thing, which is to recall the Yun family disciples."

Ha, your old father probably has no choice but to obey the young emperor's decree.

After glancing at the other representatives or family heads, the Li family head cleared his throat and said, "I obey the Little Emperor's decree to have Ke Qing relinquish her position on Yuheng Star, but I will not recall any of the family's disciples."

As old friends who have loved and hated each other for decades, and are also related by marriage, the head of the Kun family kindly reminded him: "Old Li, are you sober?"

Yes, your Keqing is indeed the Little Emperor's woman, but that doesn't mean the Little Emperor won't target your Li family.

If the young emperor were that kind of person, he wouldn't have risen to power in the first place, nor would he have dismissed his women from their positions now.

With irrefutable evidence, the young emperor was probably just looking for a silly, good-natured chicken to kill in front of the monkeys.

It just so happens that your family has some connection with the young emperor. He once ate at your family's banquet, so he might have some dirty secrets about your Li family.

In that case, isn't your Li family just that silly, foolish chicken?

"I'm the Little Emperor's father-in-law, so I should have some influence over him..."

The Kun family patriarch couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Hey, why don't you go and fight the Little Emperor?"

The Yun family representative was at a loss and quickly interjected, "Calm down, everyone. We all need to obey the young emperor's decree. Since the young emperor has been so open and honest, we don't need to be so stubborn. We can simply return to our respective ancestral lands, close our doors, and continue to cultivate our land and pass on our family traditions."

The Li family head and the Kun family head exchanged a glance, then looked at the Yun family representative, who said speechlessly, "In Guili County, the Little Emperor allocated land to the people of Guili. How can you be sure that the Little Emperor won't allocate land to the people of Liyue?"

"But Liyue doesn't have much land left."

"Where do you think the young emperor will get it from?"

The Yun family representative shuddered and fell silent, wondering whether he should inform his father to quickly sell off the farmland in the countryside at a high price and settle down to do business in Liyue Harbor.

At this moment, a representative from an unknown small family stepped forward and said, "Would the Little Emperor do such a thing? As long as we unite, even the Rock God can't do anything to us."

Upon hearing this, several rational family heads and representatives quickly turned their heads away, wanting to distance themselves from this fool.

People like this are simply nouveau riche. They've probably just risen to prominence in recent years due to good fortune, and they're unwilling to give up the wealth and status they haven't even had a chance to enjoy yet, nor are they willing to relinquish their power in the government.

Little did they know that what the young emperor was willing to give was theirs, what he was unwilling to give, they had to let go of immediately, and what he wanted, they had to offer up immediately.

When it's time to play it safe, you have to play it safe; you can't force things.

Suddenly, a slightly violent gust of wind blew open the window, knocking the restless spokesperson to the ground.

Even with the windows closed, the raging wind continued to rampage through the room, destroying everything in its path before finally stopping.

"What...what is this? It's really strange, but none of that matters. Only the Seven Stars have been dismissed. The members of our Cui family will continue to serve in government, even if the government is reorganized."

Just as the fearless representative of the Cui family was about to get up from the ground, the wooden door of the tea room was suddenly kicked open violently, and more than a dozen soldiers dressed in civil and military robes rushed in. The man in the lead had a sinister look on his face and stared at the representative of the Cui family like a venomous snake.

"What did you just say?"

"You...who are you?!"

The man sneered, "You'll find out soon enough... Take him away!"

The soldiers, all with the Eye of God, strode toward the Cui family's representative, ignoring his cries and resistance, knocked him unconscious with a single blow, then handcuffed and chained him away.

The man looked around and smiled sinisterly: "My lords, I've seen you all before."

The head of the Li family shivered, but forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know. You'll know when you need to."

They must be people under the Little Emperor's command, but their attire is completely different from that of the Guili Army. They are wearing civil and military robes, which looks somewhat incongruous.

The Kun family patriarch remained silent, showing no intention of stepping forward; anyone who dared to do so would be a fool.

All the spokespeople present kept their heads down, too afraid to speak. The violent scene had terrified them.

The man shook his head and considerately propped the door up, even though it was completely broken in two, he still leaned it against the door.

"Gentlemen, please continue your conversation. By the way, I haven't been here today, so you'd better remember that."

After being intimidated, the small group of Guili soldiers left the teahouse and withdrew through the alley.

"Lord Qing, what should we do with this guy?"

"Take him back to the county jail and let Lord Yang interrogate him."

The sergeant asked again, "I recognize him. He is the spokesperson for the Cui family. His innocent disappearance will surely cause controversy and panic within the Cui family."

Qingkui grinned and said, "That's easy. Let the Cui family disappear as well, and then wipe out all the gangs they've been supporting."

The dog owner was bitten to death by his own dog; what an interesting way to die.

Ninth Brother was too cautious. He only wiped out a small Cui family, nearly a hundred people, which had no deterrent effect whatsoever.

In his opinion, they still need to be killed!

Chapter 209 The Little Emperor Comes to Demand a Recognition

In the middle of Feiyun Slope, at the Yun family mansion.

Affected by the recent political turmoil, many prominent families have begun to close their doors to guests, and even the Yun family, a declining family that has passed down its tradition of opera, has become more cautious in its words and deeds.

Yun's father was very worried about this. Not long ago, he had taken a liking to the third young master of the Cui family. Unlike the other members of the Cui family, the third young master was of excellent character and conduct, making him a very good candidate for son-in-law.

In Liyue, the aristocratic families are also divided into different ranks, like a pyramid. The Cui family is in the middle and lower ranks, while the Yun family is at the bottom.

After making several trips back and forth, they finally managed to climb onto the high branch of the Cui family and reached an agreement with the arrogant representative of the Cui family, saying that they would give their daughter Yun Jin a chance to get in touch after a few more years.

Unexpectedly, just over ten days later, the young emperor returned from Guili County to Liyue Harbor to preside over the late emperor's funeral. During this time, the Cui family was wiped out.

It is said that the gang that had been kept by the Cui family committed the crime, killing nearly a hundred people in one night, leaving no one alive in the Cui family mansion.

As for the married women of the Cui family, they were mostly unharmed, but they were quite frightened, and some even went insane.

Afterwards, a Guili soldier discovered the scene of the crime. In order to avenge the Cui family, the Guili army massacred the gang that committed the crime, and even took the opportunity to wipe out the gangs supported by various families in Liyue Harbor.

Yun's father was a smart man; some things didn't need to be said in public, and smart people wouldn't do that.

As the saying goes, some things weigh less than four ounces on a scale, but weigh a thousand pounds on a scale.

If the son-in-law I value is gone, so be it. As long as the Yun family is not implicated, and as long as my precious daughter is safe, that's all that matters.

To protect his daughter, Yun's father did not tell Yun Jin about these things, but only urged her not to go out recently and to decline all activities of Yunhan Society.

It's better to forge iron or to forge metal.

Business and politics are too dangerous, so Yun's father decided to establish an ancestral rule that future generations must never engage in business or politics.

Yun's father sighed and strolled to the rockery in the backyard with his hands behind his back. Hearing his daughter sing once a day, he became even more worried.

Hearing her father sigh, Yun Jin turned around and smiled, "Good morning, Father."

"Ajin, you don't resent your father, do you?"

Yun Jin's smile froze for a moment. She lowered her head, her expression unreadable, and said sullenly, "Marriage should be arranged by parents and matchmakers. How could I possibly complain about my father?"

Yun's father approached and forced a smile, saying, "Father won't try to find you a future husband. It's best to let things take their natural course."

Almost instantly, Yun Jin raised her head, staring with her beautiful eyes, and asked incredulously, "Father, say it again?"

“Ajin, your father is giving you back the right to fall in love naturally. I was wrong about that matter.”

"But what about the third young master of the Cui family..."

Yun's father also widened his eyes: "Wait... who told you that the third young master of the Cui family has never met you before?"

"Father goes to the Cui family every day. Does he think he can hide it from me?"

"What about the Cui family..."

Yun Jin didn't take it to heart: "What's wrong with the Cui family? They agreed to Father's request and then went back on their word? Father really lost face. But it's good this way, at least I have the right to love freely again."

Yun's father twitched his lips, selectively ignoring his daughter's subtle criticism, and said with a sense of relief, "The whole family was wiped out. Nearly a hundred people perished, including the third young master of the Cui family."
