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

Ji Ming closed his eyes and began to feel the voluptuousness pressed tightly against his back until his senior sister gently tapped his head.

Turning around, I saw that Gan Yu's face was still flushed with embarrassment and annoyance: "It's not about feeling this. If Junior Brother Ji Ming doesn't listen, then I won't continue teaching you, okay?"

Ji Ming patted his chest and said, "I promise I'll be obedient. Please continue to teach me, Senior Sister Gan Yu!"

"Don't be so loud."

Gan Yu complained softly, "Now, turn around, and I'll continue to help you find the correct way to hold the bow. Also, please don't try to feel it randomly, junior brother."

"Yes, Commander Gan Yu!"

"So, please don't be so loud. It's Yuehaiting's working hours now."

"okay."

Chapter 70 Zhongli, Let's Unite! (4000 words)

Ji Mingtai wants to be emperor.

It wasn't a joke, nor was it a sudden relapse. It was because when he was practicing archery yesterday, Senior Sister Gan Yu suddenly muttered "For the Emperor," which made Ji Ming extremely envious.

Yes, Ji Ming was jealous. The immortal disciples were jealous of the patriarch of the Liyue immortals, simply because their senior sister had mentioned the Emperor.

Emperor, Emperor! If Morax can be Emperor, why can't Ji Ming be Emperor? Emperors take turns, this year it's my turn. After this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony is over, Morax should just abdicate and give way to a worthy successor.

If that's the case, it would be so satisfying if Senior Sister Gan Yu kept mentioning Ji Ming during every battle.

What? You're asking how Ji Ming got Morax to willingly step down?

He recruited heroes from all over the world, built high walls and stockpiled grain, and waited for the right time to directly force Morax to abdicate and seize the throne.

What? You're asking which hero Ji Ming plans to recruit?

Without a doubt, Zhongli is a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth.

This person is learned and knowledgeable, with a calm and reliable personality. His advice is almost always correct. The key point is that he lives in the ancestral hall and is Ji Ming's neighbor.

As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. As long as Ji Ming shows a sincere attitude, Zhong Li will surely bow down and become his ninth general.

The first eight positions are already filled. Ji Ming is a sentimental person and always believes in the order of arrival. After the matter is settled, he will let his sworn brothers take control of the Seven Stars positions and the General Affairs Department.

As for Zhongli, Ji Ming believed that Venti, the Wind God, wouldn't mind being granted the title of King of Mondstadt and given remote control of the city, since it was just an honorary title.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Ji Ming turned towards the side hall and headed straight for the reception room: "Miss, I'm here!"

"Really, didn't I already introduce myself? Just call me Dudu. Mr. Ji Ming, is there something you need?"

Ji Ming smiled: "I've come to see Zhong Li."

Dudu smiled back: "Zhongli doesn't have one, but Hu Tao does."

Do the employees of Wangshengtang have any serious illnesses? Sister Dudu is like that, and so is Steward Meng. Every time we meet them, it triggers the inevitable event of "promoting Master Hu". They are no different from two NPCs.

Ji Ming said helplessly, "Stop trying to sell me walnuts. As an employee of the Rebirth Hall, Sister Dudu, won't walnuts get angry if you keep promoting your own hall master like this?"

Dudu raised an eyebrow: "Really? Have you ever seen the Hall Master get angry in front of him?"

Does this man have some serious illness? Master Hu Tao is so cute, and he even has cute little tiger teeth. Don't men all like little tiger teeth?

After trying to sell for so long, Dudu still hadn't made a sale. She even started to suspect Ji Ming, who had just returned from Mondstadt the day before yesterday. It seemed that the free spirit of Mondstadt had distorted his sexual orientation.

"Mr. Ji Ming, let me ask you a question. To you, is Mr. Zhongli more important or Master Hu Taotang?"

"Zhongli is important."

Nonsense, Zhongli is his future ninth general. This mere walnut, while not entirely arrogant, isn't entirely mischievous either; its main feature is a single fang.

Dodo, incredulous, covered her face and exclaimed, "No way! Why did Mr. Ji Ming's sexual orientation change after just one trip to Mondstadt?!"

"Because of freedom♂"

Just kidding. Ji Ming's sexual orientation is perfectly normal. He likes voluptuous older women, especially those over 3,000 years old. As the saying goes, "A woman three years older than you is like a gold brick," and carrying a thousand gold bricks makes you seem strong.

Ji Ming waved his hand in front of Dudu and said helplessly, "Seriously, is Zhongli home or not?"

"Yes, you can find him as soon as you go in..."

Dodo had a look of utter despair on his face, and his whole body turned ashen, about to turn into an indescribable, limp creature.

It's over, everything is over. Those despicable Mondstadt people actually turned Mr. Jiming's sexual orientation gay. It's an unforgivable crime!

No, next time we'll have the leader steal Mr. Zhongli's clothes, then crawl into Mr. Ji Ming's bed. The leader's figure is only slightly better than Mr. Zhongli's, so in the dark, Mr. Ji Ming might not recognize him.

Once the two of them have a falling out, Mr. Ji Ming might just return to normal. At that point, as long as he takes responsibility, the Hu family will have a son-in-law.

"Hehehe~"

Ji Ming, looking disgusted, took a detour to avoid Sister Dudu, who had started grinning foolishly, and headed towards the open-air courtyard of the Rebirth Hall. From here on, the living area and general merchandise area of ​​the Rebirth Hall were separated from the courtyard house by only one wall.

Hearing footsteps, Zhongli, who was engrossed in reading ancient books, looked up, took a sip of tea, and nodded, saying, "Young friend, what brings you here to see me today?"

Ji Ming strode over, grasped Zhong Li's left hand, and said earnestly, "Zhong Li, I want to be emperor so badly, I dream about it all the time!"

Zhongli: "…………?"

"Come and assist me, and after we succeed, I will share the world with you."

Before this is accomplished, Zhongli, I want to share the world with you.

Once the deed is done, how can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?

Don't ask, the answer is always the same: no mercy, no forgetting one's roots.

Zhongli remained silent for a long time: "Young friend, are you serious?"

We don't know what's going on, so let's play it safe for now. If this child isn't suffering from hysteria, then he might really want to be the emperor. But we need to find out the reason. Did someone say something to this child?

Ji Ming said seriously, "Yes, I am serious. I am more serious now than ever before."

Yes, it's not hysteria.

Zhongli nodded: "The people of Liyue only worship one emperor. If you were to say such things on the street, it would probably cause gossip. I wonder why you have such thoughts?"

"Because I am the true successor of Liyue."

Zhongli: "?"

No... Zhongli remembers that she has no children, so where did she get the conclusion that she is the legitimate heir of Liyue?

To prove his point, Ji Ming pointed to himself with a serious expression: "A few days ago, on my way back to Liyue from Mondstadt, I caught a grass carp in a shallow lake in the wild. Guess what I found?"

"what?"

“I cut open the fish’s belly and a small roll of paper fell out. Inside, the words ‘Liyue Xing, King Jiming’ were clearly written. I still have it.”

After saying that, Ji Ming took out a small piece of paper from the sewing bag and opened it. Zhong Li looked at it and saw that there were a few illegible characters written crookedly on the small piece of paper, and the ink was not yet dry.

At this moment, Zhongli didn't know whether to feel gratified or helpless. He was gratified that the child did indeed have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor, but he was helpless because the child's reasons were too strange.

Isn't this a little note that was just written this morning, before the ink has even dried?

Well, as long as the kid is happy, that's all that matters. Anyway, he's been wanting to retire for a while now, so let's just go along with it.

Zhongli didn't want to be too obvious, so he played hard to get: "Young friend, I want to ask you a question. What will you do when you become the Rock King Emperor?"

He would immediately run to Senior Sister Gan Yu and make her shout "For the Emperor" three times.

"I don't want to take over Liyue completely, like Morax, who only comes down to rule once a year."

"You seem to be dissatisfied with Morax, young friend."

Ji Ming shrugged: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but I feel that Morax is giving up too much."

So that's how it is. But that's fine too. Zhongli's burden is too heavy. Even when he's just wandering around the mortal world, he has to keep an eye on the situation there. Once Ji Ming takes over the throne, he can finally relax and enjoy his leisure time.

"Once you become the emperor, will the idea of ​​rule by man completely fail?"

"No, no, no, what I want to do is rule by man. Once all the drawbacks of rule by man are resolved, I will become a hands-off manager."

After Ji Ming finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Li and asked, "After saying so much, are you willing to assist me or not?"

Zhongli subtly curled the corners of his lips: "Of course, I have always believed that you, young friend, possess extraordinary talent and the potential to become an emperor."

"Very good, from now on you should change how you address me."

"Change your tune?"

"Yes, call him lord."

Zhongli: “…………”

Ji Ming laughed and said, "Just kidding. Once I ascend to the throne, you can help me handle government affairs."

Young friend, do you know why I am retiring?

Seeing that Zhongli remained silent, Ji Ming didn't care much and began to reveal his identity. Since they had become superior and subordinate, it was necessary for them to understand each other.

Especially after practicing archery with Senior Sister Gan Yu yesterday, Ji Ming wanted to ask Zhong Li where he could get a good longbow.

Zhongli listened attentively, nodding earnestly from time to time.

Zhongli already knew everything the child had been through, but for now, she still had to cooperate to avoid revealing her identity.

Legend has it that many large families in ancient Liyue have passed down their crafts. These families were not traditional clans; they often did not engage in commercial activities but instead devoted themselves to honing their skills and spreading the reputation of their family crafts to the continent of Teyvat.
