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

The teenager asked calmly, "Big brother, could you bring a few more people?"

Qingkui became interested and grinned, "Are you a spy for the government troops?"

The teenager responded, "No."

Do you know how to swim?

"My swimming skills are average, but I have one person by my side who is an excellent swimmer, one who provides advice, one who charges into battle, one who is in charge of interrogation, one who is proficient in crafts, one who coordinates the overall situation, and one who is proficient in assassination."

Qingkui chuckled: "With so many capable people around you, what will you be responsible for?"

The teenager laughed: "I'll be in charge of the scams. This team is missing a madman. Boss, are you in?"

"That sounds crazy, let's all come together."

Since they weren't spies for the government troops, Qing Kui didn't care who these people were, as long as they could help him assassinate Tianxuan Star.

Qingkui asked, "Name?"

"Ji Ming, the season of the four seasons, and the brightness of the sun and moon."

"Qing Kui, Qing as in fortunate, Gui Dou Kui."

Ji Ming looks to be only ten years old, yet he has such a demeanor at such a young age, resembling Qing Kui back then, only lacking a bit of madness.

That's right, wanting to assassinate Tianxuan Star is crazy enough.

Ji Ming laughed and said, "Brother Qing, let me take you to meet my gang first. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Okay, when did you decide to assassinate Tianxuan Star?"

“We are not going to assassinate Tianxuanxing, but rather to capture him alive first and then take him to the Bronze Sparrow Temple in the suburbs.”

"why is that?"

"Sworn brotherhood by swearing an oath of blood."

That's interesting, that's a crazy idea.

As Qingkui walked, he said, "After this is done, give me a share of the profits."

Ji Ming didn't mind at all: "Of course, everyone gets a share."

The team members are of varying ages, with the oldest being only thirty years old and the youngest being Ji Ming, while Qing Kui is the second youngest.

The person in charge of overall coordination is Liu Muzhi. He was the one who proposed the blood oath alliance and also welcomed Qing Kui to join the team.

Of the entire team, only Chen Huaizhang, Hong Yansheng, and Ji Ming have not killed anyone yet, and the three of them also have various special skills. This team configuration makes Qingkui feel very at ease.

After resting for a few more days, the nine energetic people got up at dawn and went directly to the coastal beach outside Liyue Harbor. There, they found small speedboats designed by Hong Yansheng, which could approach the large ship of Tianxuan Star at the fastest speed.

Today, the sea is foggy. When the small boat approaches the large ship, Zhao Huaisheng, the best swimmer in the team, will quickly go into the sea. His diving speed is enough to swim under the large ship, and it will be easy for him to dig a hole.

Chen Huaizhang and Hong Yansheng were on shore to provide support, while the other seven boarded a small boat and stood ready.

Ji Ming was originally supposed to be left on the shore, but the ten-year-old boy was quite team-oriented and insisted on joining the kidnapping team.

Qingkui admired this approach. The two people on the shore were skilled workers and it was normal that they couldn't participate in the kidnapping. If Ji Ming refused to participate in the operation because of his young age, then he would have to question whether this team was worth joining.

Thick fog blanketed the sea, and the giant ship of Tianxuan Star appeared in the fog as promised.

Liu Muzhi gave the order: "They're here. Proceed to the big ship immediately. No one is allowed to speak."

Zheng Laosan and Li Sui stood on the left and right, respectively. Ji Ming was at the stern, controlling the speed. Yang Zaifeng was at the rear, observing. Zhao Huaisheng was behind Liu Muzhi, stretching his body with a sharp blade in his mouth, its gleaming light sending chills down his spine.

It's time to begin our revenge.

As they drew closer, Qingkui could hardly contain his excitement, but he miraculously managed to restrain himself when he thought of Liu Muzhi's orders.

Zhao Huaisheng jumped directly into the water. The freezing winter air caused the sea surface to radiate cold air, but he swam straight towards the large ship like a real dragon at an extremely fast speed.

Before long, the sailors on the ship began to panic, and the ship began to tilt noticeably. Tianxuanxing himself ran onto the deck and began to verbally abuse his careless subordinates.

No one doubted that the leak in the ship was caused by human intervention. The servants of Tianxuan Star were busy repairing the damage and did not notice the speedboat rapidly approaching.

As Li Sui's grappling hook snagged on the ship's edge, Qing Kui scrambled up in an instant, grabbed a dagger, and stabbed to death a sailor who was about to cry out in alarm.

Qingkui remained the same; he had no intention of leaving any survivors.

The others climbed up as well. Ji Ming first pulled Zhao Huaisheng up from below the surface, then turned around and shouted, "Except for Tianxuan Star, everyone else must be executed. No one may be left alive!"

At such a young age, he had such decisiveness. While admiring him, Qingkui also quickened the pace of the killing.

Liu Muzhi chose to face off against Tianxuan Star, who was trying to escape by jumping into the sea, under the cover of Zheng Laosan, Yang Zaifeng, and Li Sui.

There were people on the ship who possessed the Eye of God, but Qing Kui wouldn't let them regain their senses, and they all died under his sharp blade.

In just a few minutes, the sailors and guards on the deck were all gone. Tianxuanxing, due to his obesity, was kicked back onto the deck by Liu Muzhi.

The others moved to a different location and quickly moved into the area below deck to continue the plan to eliminate witnesses.

Qingkui wiped the blood from his face and looked at Ji Ming beside him: "How are you?"

Taking advantage of the situation, the kid stabbed a guard in the waist with a knife. The guard was a user of the Eye of God. If the kid hadn't distracted him, Qing Kui would have almost died.

In a way, I should say I was saved.

"Killing doesn't feel good, but the people I killed weren't really people."

This kid is to his liking.

(P.S.: Dear readers, this chapter marks the end of the "First Encounter in the Old Nine Gates" series. Would you like to read Ji Ming's solo chapter? Also, the other members of the Old Nine Gates are older, from the same era as Ning Guang, but from a different era than Ji Ming. So, some people said in the last chapter that Hong and Yun Jin were childhood sweethearts, but that's not actually the case.)

(On Monday, there were fewer people again.)

Chapter 109 Is My Husband Up to the Order?

The women of Teyvat seem to have a peculiar obsession with Ji Ming's head.

When Yae no Miko's Kagura bell struck his head once more, the wrinkles in Ji Ming's cerebral cortex seemed to be smoothed out and stretched instantly, bringing a moment of relaxation, like strolling in the forest outside Inazuma Castle or roaming freely in the Cloud Sea of ​​Liyue.

I feel like a graceful butterfly, sipping the first drop of dew after the rain. Or like sitting on a grassland with some sugar from home, gazing at the horizon, my whole being transforming into a pool of calm water, slowly flowing away.

Yes, there was no redness or anger as expected; Ji Ming had already let it go.

Leaving aside the women of Liyue Harbor, Mondstadt has Barbara, and Yae no Miko of Inazuma has learned the excellent tradition of the women around Ji Ming, giving him a good beating on the head during the trial.

Hmm, Senior Sister Gan Yu must have secretly taught this wicked fox a few tricks.

"Ji Jun, you can't get discouraged so quickly. A true man fights on despite repeated defeats. I like strong men."

"Let me rest for a while, Sister Shenzi. My head is still buzzing."

Ji Ming covered his head, begged for mercy, and sat down on the ground, shrinking behind Lei Yingdian and refusing to continue practicing. His lazy and defeated appearance left the two Inazuma rulers somewhat helpless.

Lei Yingdian glanced sideways and said, "Divine Child, don't hit Ji Ming on the head during the trial."

Yae no Miko retorted, "You have a head, why don't you knock it off?"

Yes, a "thump thump" sound is a good sign; apparently, it wasn't you two who were being tapped on the head.

Ji Ming dared not speak out in anger, sitting on the ground like a wronged wife.

"Alright, Ji Jun, don't be sullen. You've made great progress these past few days. You were able to fight with Sister Shenzi for over twenty hours during the trial just now. You're an excellent man."

Is this a proper grappling match? Ji Ming swallowed the question back down his throat. If he asked it, Yae no Shinji would definitely seize the opportunity to tease him.

Even Ji Ming was somewhat disheartened by the consecutive defeats over the past few days. According to Lei's account, Barbatos probably wanted to make him stronger so that he could take revenge.

However, after being stuck in Inazuma Castle for so long, Ji Ming still hadn't even passed the second level, which was quite frustrating.

However, Ji Ming wasn't a pessimistic person. After being down for a while, he started to let his mind wander. Barbatos asked Torrey to teach him martial arts, and Morax appeared in Keqing's dream. Could these two be...?

Oh right, did those two demons secretly plot something behind his back?

Wendy, you traitor!

Ji Ming sighed, ignoring Yae no Miko's teasing: "General, are you sure it was Barbatos who asked you to do this, and not Morax?"

Lei Movie remained completely unfazed: "Hmm, you finally figured it out?"

Ji Ming sighed helplessly, "At least show some surprise."

Like coaxing a child, Lei Yingdong slightly opened his mouth, seemingly in agreement with Ji Ming's idea, then curled the corners of his lips into a smile: "Are you satisfied now?"

"So you three demons are just messing with me?"

Frustrated, Ji Ming didn't even use honorifics and said in a sarcastic tone, "You have quite the twisted sense of humor, how could you even fool a mere mortal like me?"

Yae no Miko smiled: "Because it's fun."

Lei Movie: "Because...it's fun?"

Ji Ming was speechless: "This isn't fun at all."

As a disciple of an immortal, it's normal for Ji Ming to be noticed by Morax, especially since his deceased parents were on good terms with Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun in the immortal realm.

According to her master, she even held her when she was a child, although this statement is highly exaggerated.

With these two points in mind, Ji Ming didn't believe that Morax had never met his deceased parents. Even if their relationship was just so-so, they could at least be considered nodding acquaintances, right?

The only thing worth pondering is why Morax sent him to Inazuma Castle in a dream.

"General, can you tell me the truth?"

"You can probably guess even without telling the truth."
