Four against one, the advantage lies with Morax. For now, all we can do is hope that Ji Ming prefers the Mondstadt-style little nuns; what if he does like that kind of thing?
Wendy gave an awkward smile: "Alright, let's get down to business, Morax."
"Yes, please feel free to speak."
Wendy said seriously, "Morax, let Armin go out and gain experience. Although he has experienced hardships in life, as a future god, experience is essential."
That makes sense, but Zhongli has her own considerations.
First, there's the issue of time. These six months can be considered Ji Ming's rest period. After six months, it will be the annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony, and Zhong Li plans to put on a big show for it.
Secondly, there's the issue of safety. Mondstadt and Liyue don't need to worry. Barbatos will definitely protect Ji Ming's safety, and Liyue is Ji Ming's stronghold. He won't encounter any danger in either of these places.
Considering the above two points, Zhongli was unwilling to let Ji Ming go out to train unless he obtained the Heart of the Rock God, which would directly grant him more power.
However, Zhongli did not refuse outright.
"Old friend, please share your views."
Wendy was not reserved and said frankly, "Going out to train and improve strength is secondary. I hope that Armin can build up his reputation during the training, and preferably gain favors from other ruling gods."
Zhongli nodded slightly: "That makes sense."
“Let’s not send him far away. How about we send Amin to Inazuma? If you’re not satisfied, Sumeru and Fontaine are also good options. Amin wants to run for the Seven Stars, right? The political ideologies of those two countries are quite advanced.”
“Inazuma? The Thunder God Balzeb is a twin demon god. I am familiar with her elder sister, but I am relatively unfamiliar with her, although I have met her a few times before.”
"Don't worry, I can talk to Balzeb. She's just a homebody, so there's no need to worry about her having any bad intentions."
As expected, Morax was more at ease with Inazuma, since the situation of Sumeru and Fontaine was still unclear, especially Sumeru.
After thinking for a long time, Zhongli finally agreed: "Okay, but you don't need to tell anyone. I'll handle this."
A typical doting father, Wendy smiled without saying a word.
Chapter 90 The Moon Is Not Arrogant (Total 4000 words)
Yujing Terrace, outside Yuehai Pavilion.
It was the last rays of the setting sun, and the officials of Yuehai Pavilion were packing up their belongings, preparing to end their day's work.
Thanks to the efforts of the Seven Star Secretary Gan Yu, the officials of Yuehai Pavilion no longer have much real power, let alone a heavy workload, all of which have been taken care of by the 3,000-year-old immortal Gan Yu.
With Gan Yu around, it seems that there are already redundant officials in Moonsea Pavilion. The current situation is that the Liyue government is paying to support all the officials except Gan Yu.
Of course, although Yuehaiting is not busy and has generous benefits, ambitious officials will not choose to work there because of Ganyu's influence, they often cannot get the opportunity for promotion.
Therefore, the officials of Yuehaiting were all turned into useless people by Gan Yu. They would chat and joke around on their posts, talk about gossip from all over the place, and leave work on time. Ironically, this made them good officials in the eyes of the people.
The monotonous days were hard to bear, but as the officials prepared to leave work, they noticed a familiar figure standing outside the Moon Sea Pavilion—a tall man.
"Look, Master Ganyu's junior brother is here to see his senior sister again."
"He's quite handsome, it's a pity that this man only has eyes for Lady Gan Yu, otherwise I would like to give it a try. I'm pretty good-looking too."
The female official rested her chin on her hand, and as soon as she finished speaking, she was met with disdain from her colleagues. Her best friend delivered the fatal blow: "You're after his status, aren't you? We didn't even know he was Lord Gan Yu's junior brother until recently, and you didn't say you had any feelings for him."
That's right. Even though the power of Moonsea Pavilion is concentrated in Gan Yu's hands, the officials under its jurisdiction are still regular officials of the Liyue government. Generally speaking, they would not marry ordinary people who are not part of the official ranks.
Gan Yu's junior brother is not an official, but his background is terrifyingly powerful. You should know that Yan Fei is also a half-immortal and a famous legal expert in Liyue Harbor, but in the eyes of officials, she is still inferior to Gan Yu's junior brother.
A few days ago, Lord Tianquanxing personally came to Yuehaiting to inspect the work. He managed to extract information from an official in just a few words. After learning that Ji Ming was Gan Yu's junior brother, even she, who was usually very composed, still showed a few moments of surprise.
Ji Ming, standing outside the Moon Sea Pavilion, was completely unaware of the officials' thoughts and the thoughts of Tianquan Xing Ningguang. He just wanted to wait for Senior Sister Gan Yu to get off work so he could take her out for a nice meal.
Ji Ming didn't care about other people's attitudes. If it were in the past, he probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to reveal his identity. However, after the Old Nine Gates decided to get involved in politics, he decided to reveal his identity as his special background.
These past few days, Ji Ming has been going to Yuehai Pavilion almost every day after get off work, entering his senior sister's workstation in front of all the officials, his attitude utterly unrestrained.
The Seven Stars Secretary's office is located on the far left of Moon Sea Pavilion. It is a private, enclosed office with a view of the outside world from the window.
Hearing her subordinates whispering, Gan Yu looked up curiously. Her dark blue hair fell to the side of her neck. She stopped writing with her pen, gently pushed open the paper window beside her, and saw a familiar and friendly figure.
"Beautiful lady, are you going on a date?"
Gan Yu flicked Ji Ming's forehead with her finger, her eyes seemingly reproachful, her tone full of helplessness: "Junior Brother Ji Ming, come in first to talk. Don't jump out the window. Go through the main entrance."
A series of orders were issued, causing Ji Ming, who was preparing to carry out the operation, to quickly stop. He entered Yuehai Pavilion with an embarrassed smile and walked into his office under the gaze of the officials.
"I haven't seen Senior Sister Gan Yu for a day, and she's become even more beautiful. I like her even more now. What should I do? Senior Sister, do you have any good ideas?"
As soon as she entered, Ji Ming launched a barrage of compliments. However, Gan Yu was not like Hu Tao and Xiang Ling, and she was already immune to Ji Ming's praise. She only blushed slightly for a moment before quickly regaining her gentle demeanor as a senior sister.
"Come, sit down and have a cup of tea first."
Damn it, they actually chose to avoid it?
Ji Ming was instantly discouraged. His senior sister was no weak and delicate vase. If she encountered a question she didn't want to answer, she definitely wouldn't answer it.
Gan Yu smiled and casually reached out to close the window.
This is a conversation between the senior and junior disciples. No idlers are allowed to eavesdrop, and no irrelevant people are allowed to disturb them, because this is the most relaxing time of the day for Gan Yu. Even Qi Xing wouldn't be able to arrange work for her at this time.
Ji Ming took a sip of tea and swallowed it with difficulty: "I want to take you out to eat, Senior Sister Gan Yu."
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu became somewhat indignant: "You haven't given up on your plan yet, Junior Brother Ji Ming?"
So, taking her out to eat is just a way to fatten her up, right?
Honestly, Junior Brother Ji Ming clearly likes her now, but he still hasn't given up on his original plan. Junior Brother has become disobedient.
Gan Yu really wanted to go out to eat with Ji Ming, but if she used her brain, she knew that the dishes her junior brother would order would definitely not be the Qingxin style, but rather a lot of meat and fish.
If that's the case, Gan Yu can't guarantee she can control her appetite, and with Junior Brother Ji Ming likely to encourage her, gaining weight is to be expected.
No, no, I can obey Junior Brother Ji Ming on other matters, but not on this one.
Ji Ming didn't care that his senior sister had seen through him: "Yes, senior sister is so smart."
He flicked Ji Ming's forehead again, as a small lesson.
"I won't go. Junior brother has bad intentions and impure motives."
"Is this considered having impure motives? How about I stay overnight at Senior Sister Gan Yu's house?"
“No problem, Junior Brother Ji Ming can move into Senior Sister’s house directly. Senior Sister doesn’t mind.”
Good grief, now you're not worried about impure motives?
Ji Ming rubbed his forehead and smiled as he changed the subject: "Senior sister, I want to run for the Seven Stars competition, will you support me?"
The change of topic was a bit abrupt, but Gan Yu cooperated and stopped discussing what had just happened. She sat down with great curiosity and asked, "Why would Junior Brother Ji Ming have such an idea to run for Seven Stars?"
"Because I want to do it, I want to run for office."
Gan Yu said solemnly, "Yuehaiting is an auxiliary department of the General Affairs Department and the Seven Stars. Under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to interfere in the election."
No matter who holds the position of the Seven Stars, it cannot affect Gan Yu's status in Liyue Harbor. It is precisely because of this that she will not interfere in the Seven Stars election activities, otherwise it would become the Asgardians controlling Liyue.
"It's not about providing actual support. I just wanted to ask if Senior Sister Gan Yu would support me becoming one of the Seven Stars if she weren't the Seven Stars' secretary?"
The fair and just Senior Sister Gan Yu is the real Senior Sister Gan Yu. Senior Sister Gan Yu will always be a spotless white moonlight, and that is what Ji Ming needs.
Gan Yu replied without hesitation, "Yes, Junior Brother Ji Ming is the best. Senior Sister will always support you."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ming was moved, but he also finally revealed his true intentions, and smiled and said, "That would be great. Once I become one of the Seven Stars, Senior Sister Gan Yu will become my secretary. I will definitely take good care of her and make her plump and healthy."
"Junior Brother Ji Ming!"
Gan Yu was furious and lunged at Ji Ming to grab his face. She thought her junior brother would dodge, but to her surprise, he opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace before she could even dissipate her strength.
"Eh?"
Feeling her junior brother's breath on her neck, Gan Yu realized what was happening and hugged Ji Ming back. She immediately felt quite satisfied. In fact, ever since their last hug, she had been thinking about hugging her junior brother again.
Liyue Harbor is a familiar foreign land, while my junior brother's arms are an unfamiliar hometown. This is Gan Yu's assessment of the embrace.
Ji Ming closed his eyes and whispered, "Senior Sister Gan Yu, do you know, actually, the first time I met you, I wanted to hug you."
"Now you've succeeded, junior brother."
The muddy water under the bridge reflected the gentle fairy maiden and the young prodigal son who had wandered the streets. The moonlight clung to the fairy maiden, and from then on, the moon entered the heart of the young prodigal son.
Just as a sunflower always faces the sun, Ji Ming has always been chasing his moon, and at this moment, he once again embraces the moon.
Reaching for the moon in the water is no longer just a legend; Ji Ming has truly accomplished this legendary feat. He has gradually pulled himself out of the mire of his childhood and strived to get closer to the moon in his heart.
The moon was there, hanging in the gradually darkening night sky.
The moon was not arrogant; it rested against Ji Ming's firm chest.
………………
"Even if he's your junior brother, you can't hug Gan Yu in the Seven Stars Secretary's office!"
Ke Qing was fuming. In front of her was Ji Ming, who was more than a head taller than her.
Just like a few days ago, since her office was near Yuehai Pavilion, Ke Qing noticed that Ji Ming had been going to Yuehai Pavilion a lot lately.
With the idea of finding free labor, she did not leave work immediately, but stayed at her workstation to wait. However, after the last official of Yuehaiting left, Ji Ming and Gan Yu still did not come out.
Ke Qing felt a strange sour feeling. She forced herself to forget the feeling and then walked quickly towards Yuehai Pavilion. After all, she had some things she wanted to talk to Ji Ming about today.
Even if she's a senior sister, she can't keep monopolizing Ji Ming forever, right?
After knocking on the office door, Ke Qing did not push it open and enter. Even though she was a little anxious, she was a lady from a respectable family and would never do anything that was inappropriate.
