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

The Kun family patriarch shared the same doubts, while Ke Qing, standing to the side, was already gritting her teeth. What exactly was this guy trying to do?!

Those who dare to bring congratulatory gifts to the Li family are mostly prominent figures in Liyue Harbor. Under normal circumstances, a street thug like Ji Ming, who has the audacity to ask for a million, would absolutely not dare to come and offer his congratulations.

Others may not know the situation, but surely Ke Qing knows it too?

Ji Ming strolled over leisurely, deliberately raising his pipe and waving it in front of Ke Qing, his face full of pride: "Greetings, Master Li and Master Kun. I am the eldest son of the Ji family of Liyue, and a suitor of Lord Yuhengxing. I have come to congratulate our two families on their marriage."

It's so satisfying to also disgust the purple cat head.

The purple cat's back teeth were almost ground to powder. Even though she was furious, she still had to maintain her composure in front of everyone and said in a deep voice, "Ji Ming, I will never admit to having such a shameless suitor as you."

Ji Ming didn't respond. Instead, he cupped his hands to the two family heads and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for making you two laugh. There was some misunderstanding when I was pursuing Lord Yuhengxing, but I will try my best to clear it up."

"It's alright, the younger generation should get to know each other better." The head of the Li family waved his hand, not caring at all.

Ke Qing couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed Ji Ming and ran into the courtyard. She had to question this guy fiercely about what he was thinking. Even if she didn't approve of the marriage, she still wouldn't allow her younger sister's once-in-a-lifetime marriage to be ruined.

After the two left, the two family heads also entered the courtyard.

The current head of the Kun family on Yaoguang Star stared at Ji Ming's retreating figure, and said in a solemn tone, "This pipe, could it be the personal possession of Ningguang of Tianquan Star...?"

The Li family patriarch was shocked: "What?!"

“I am a colleague of Ningguang of Tianquan Star. She usually likes to hold this pipe in her hand, and she never lets go of the pipe when she is thinking. But now it has appeared in the hands of a young man.”

The head of the Li family asked, "Could this person truly be the son of a reclusive, powerful clan?"

"No, I have never heard of the Ji family in Liyue Harbor. Moreover, I have only heard of the name 'Ji Ming', but he is not a young master from a prominent family."

As the head of the Kun family, who was from Yaoguang Star, had occasionally seen the General Affairs Department's files. The name "Ji Ming" appeared frequently. He was not only not a young master from a prominent family, but also a gang member with a bad reputation.

I've heard that the Li family suppressed the Nine Gates, but this in-law in front of me seems to know nothing about Ji Ming?

This person's visit to offer congratulations was definitely not just for the sake of watching the spectacle.

The Li family patriarch asked, "What about the one million Mora just now?"

"Words spoken offhand, nothing at all."

"Isn't that just some kind of street urchin? I'll have someone chase him away."

The Kun family patriarch raised his hand to stop them: "This boy is no ordinary person, able to obtain the private possessions of the Heavenly Star's Condensed Light. I fear he will rise to prominence once he encounters favorable circumstances. Since Ke Qing knows him, let them be."

Even if he's just a street urchin, this man has such courage. If you befriend him properly, the rewards he'll receive in the future will be far more than a million Mora.

Even out of respect for Tianquan Xing Ningguang, the Kun family head decided to keep a low profile today and simply stand by and watch whatever happens.

Chapter 26 The Handsome Young Man Who Captivated Thousands of Young Women

Furious, Ke Qing grabbed Ji Ming's wrist and dragged him to the back garden of the Li family compound with almost forceful strength. This was the back garden, where no one could hear them even if they talked.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Ji Ming revealed a roguish smile, casually surveying the pool and rockery in the backyard, and smacked his lips, saying, "I am a suitor of Lord Yuheng Star, so naturally I want Lord Yuheng Star."

Ke Qing frowned: "Don't smile like that, it's disgusting."

"As long as I'm comfortable," Ji Ming said, but he quickly put away his smile, after all, he hadn't come here specifically to annoy Ke Qing. "Don't worry about me today, I won't disturb the wedding banquet."

Ke Qing was still skeptical, but she made one last threat: "If you dare to ruin my little sister's wedding banquet, I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in the top-tier dungeon!"

"Don't worry, don't worry. I understand the principle that it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage."

Ji Ming put away the last trace of amusement and asked seriously, "Lord Yuheng Star, where is your granary?"

In the past, if a wealthy family in Liyue held a wedding banquet, many unemployed people would come to cause trouble. They weren't really trying to cause trouble; no one would be foolish enough to mess with a wealthy family.

They did this to ask for travel expenses and food. Wealthy families usually wouldn't drive them away on such a joyous occasion as their wedding banquet; on the contrary, they would grant their wish.

Ji Ming originally wanted to follow the example of these predecessors, but out of respect for Ke Qing, he decided not to cause trouble today. However, Ke Qing had to give him some compensation.

"Huh? Have you lost your mind, or have you become a petty thief?"

The purple cat crossed its arms and snorted softly, its contempt almost piercing through Ji Ming in front of it.

"Although Lord Yuheng Star's surname is Li, you would never tolerate the existence of such dark entities as gangs in Liyue Harbor, would you?"

Ke Qing didn't understand Ji Ming's thoughts and asked, "Aren't you a gang member? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Ji Ming patiently guided him: "Lord Yuhengxing, do you think it's better to have more or fewer gangs in Liyue Harbor?"

"Of course, the less the better, ideally none at all!"

"That's right. I know your Li family has three major gangs under your control. Why don't you let the Nine Gates help you clean house?"

Ke Qing clearly didn't believe it: "Really? Even if it's about cleaning house, it should be me who does it."

Ji Ming sneered: "You're supposed to be a member of the Jade Balance Star, yet you couldn't even stop your own little sister's wedding. I don't believe you can really do anything to your own family."

"I……"

Ke Qing was speechless and choked with emotion. She really couldn't refute Ji Ming's words. He couldn't even stop his younger sister's wedding, so where did he get the courage to cut off his own family's power?

"Don't tell me that you, as the eldest daughter of the Li family, don't know the location of the granary."

Ji Ming chuckled, about to make a few more sarcastic remarks, when a series of footsteps approached rapidly, followed by a wooden stick striking him hard on the back of the head.

"You bad guy, don't you dare bully Sister Keqing!"

Looking back, he saw a girl who looked very much like Keqing standing behind him, still holding a wooden stick in her hand, with a red veil for brides on her shoulder.

Ji Ming snatched the wooden stick away, wincing in pain. He said irritably, "Who bullied your sister Ke Qing? The bride should stay in her room. Besides, hitting her like that won't make her faint."

Ji Ming tossed the stick aside, not caring about the blow. Instead, it gave him a reason to force Ke Qing to reveal the location of the granary, since Ke Qing was already at a disadvantage after that blow.

With tears in her eyes, Li's younger sister ran to Ke Qing and stretched out her arms, just like a mother protecting her child.

A small dog followed at the girl's feet, barking incessantly at Ji Ming.

Only Ke Qing stood there, stunned, staring blankly at her little sister in front of her.

As the Jade Balance Star, Keqing should have stood in front of her younger sister to stop her father from using her as a tool for a political marriage, but she did not.

"Keqing, that's what I hate about you. You keep talking about relying on people's own strength, but now you can't even rely on your own strength?"

"You wicked person, what right do you have to lecture Sister Keqing! It was my own request, it was my own request to marry Young Master Kun."

Ji Ming ignored the bride and stared intently at Ke Qing's hesitant eyes, asking, "Tell me, where is the granary?"

Ke Qing made up her mind and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'll take you there. Whether you want to double-cross us or something else, you have to promise me that you will completely wipe out the gang that the Li family is keeping."

"Huh?! Sister Keqing, what's this about gangs?"

In fact, Ke Qing didn't know whether the Li family had any gangs, but since Ji Ming had come to her door and even dared to ask her directly, there must be some hidden story.

Keqing stroked her younger sister's hair and said softly, "Go back and wait. If someone sees you talking to a strange man on your wedding day, you won't be able to hold your head up in your husband's family."

It was truly a helpless situation. It would have been better if she were in the Li family, but the Kun family had very strict family rules, or to put it bluntly, a rigid class system. Ke Qing also disapproved of the Kun family's family rules.

It's estimated that the future Yao Guang Star will also be inherited by Young Master Kun. For the sake of his younger sister's married life, he should be a little reserved on this joyous occasion.

Ji Ming was somewhat surprised and retorted, "Please, you are Lord Yuheng Star, why are you afraid of that young master from Yaoguang Star?"

"Public and private matters should be kept separate. I cannot interfere in the Kun family's affairs, so it is best for husband and wife to maintain harmony."

"Tsk tsk tsk, your Li family is really useless. If my daughter were bullied by her husband, I would definitely come knocking on their door with a knife."

"You want your daughter to live the life of a widow?"

"First, make your daughter divorce her husband, then go to her door with a knife."

Seeing Ji Ming's seemingly high-sounding words, Ke Qing retorted, "What if your son betrayed his wife?"

Ji Ming said nonchalantly, "Have my daughter-in-law divorce my son, break his legs and kick him out of the house, then let this little beast fend for himself."

Excuse me, but Ji Ming is the perfect man in Liyue, a handsome young man who has captivated countless young women.

The younger sister of the Li family had been listening the whole time, and finally burst out laughing: "Your son is a little beast, then what are you, a big beast?"

The heavy atmosphere was eased somewhat by the silvery laughter. Ke Qing looked at the younger sister of the Li family with tender eyes, while Ji Ming's face was ashen.

"Go, go, go! The bride should go back to her room right away."

As Ji Ming spoke, he scared the white puppy at his feet: "Let's go, Ke Qing, lead the way."

"and many more!"

The younger sister of the Li family walked over, glanced at Ke Qing first, and then said with a serious face, "I'm so sorry about earlier. After hearing what you said, I think you are definitely a good person. I'll be counting on you for Ke Qing from now on."

"Little sister?!"

Li's younger sister ignored Keqing and took Ji Ming's hand: "I beg you to take good care of Sister Keqing. If she is not taken care of by a good person, she will definitely become the next me. The clan leader said that he should choose a husband of equal social standing before Sister Keqing turns thirty."

Ji Ming didn't pull his hand away, but instead revealed a cunning smile like a shrewd businessman: "What can you offer in return? When you ask someone for a favor, you always have to give them something in return, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li's younger sister bent down and picked up the puppy, Baitang, at her feet. She looked at it with loving eyes for the last few moments before gritting her teeth and handing it to Ji Ming.

"It's called White Sugar, and it's very cute."

No, what's the big deal about giving him a dog? No matter how cute it is, how much Mora is a dog worth?

Since he was just teasing the girl anyway, Ji Ming was about to refuse when Li's younger sister continued to explain, "Please accept it. I won't have time to see it in the future. Sister Keqing is very busy, and even the servants at home won't take care of it except for me."

The younger sister of the Li family had her own little scheme. Once the kind gentleman accepted the sugar, she would persuade her older sister Keqing to visit the kind gentleman more often and take care of the sugar together.

She noticed that Sister Keqing and Mr. Kindness didn't get along very well, but it didn't matter. As long as they got along slowly according to her plan, their relationship would improve one day.
