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

So what did Mingjun do during these three months? Since he didn't leave Inazuma, why haven't we met him? It's said that Ayaka hasn't met him either.

I'm a little annoyed. Is Mingjun the kind of man who likes to leave without saying goodbye when something happens?

With a sense of curiosity, Naganohara Yoshimiya asked, "My Lord, what have you been doing for the past three months?"

"I'm undergoing special training. When I get back, I'll assassinate the Rock King Emperor and then take his place."

"You're so unserious. I'm asking you a very serious question right now."

"Okay, okay, actually I was slacking off."

That's how the wise ruler is. He hasn't come out to play with her and Ayaka Kamisato for three months. He's just been hiding in Narukami Shrine, slacking off. How awful!

To be honest, Mingjun's wrist feels a bit firmer to the touch. It wasn't nearly as firm as it was the last time I touched it. He wasn't actually slacking off at all; it's more like he was secretly exercising.

Suppressing his curiosity, Naganohara Yoshimiya quickened his pace and led Ji Ming to the Kamisato residence in Tenshukaku-cho, where he knocked on the door.

The gate to the Kamisato residence opened, and a blond man poked his head out, quickly revealing a smile: "Ah, it's Miss Yoomiya. You must be here to see the young lady. Please come in."

Nagano Hara nods politely: "Long time no see, Thomas. This is my friend Ji Ming. Ayaka also knows him."

"I heard from the head of the family that Mr. Ji Ming is the youngest diplomat he has ever met. I didn't expect that you haven't left Inazuma Castle yet?"

Seemingly realizing that his words might cause a misunderstanding, Thomas quickly added, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. The head of the family hasn't seen you for three months. I thought you had returned to Liyue."

Ji Ming said nonchalantly, "It's alright. Is Mr. Kamisato home?"

Thomas shook his head: "The head of the family is out meeting with friends, but the young lady is at home. You two can go directly to the young lady. I have to do housework now, please excuse me."

"Well, please."

If I'm not mistaken, Thomas is probably from Mondstadt. His name and personality are very similar to those of the Mondstadt residents. He is probably an immigrant or a descendant of immigrants.

Following Naganohara Yomi-no-miya into the Kamisato residence, Ji Ming subconsciously began to observe the environment of the Kamisato residence, which was even larger than the three-courtyard siheyuan of the Wangsheng Hall.

I can understand. The Kamisato family is one of the rulers in Inazuma Castle, so it's normal for their residence to be larger.

Naganohara Yoshimiya joked, "You're surprised, aren't you? I was also shocked when I first came here. I didn't expect Ayaka's house to be so big."

"It's pretty good, but my family isn't much worse off. Come visit Liyue Harbor sometime."

Naganohara Yoshimiya stopped in his tracks: "Judging from your tone, are you about to leave Inazuma?"

Ji Ming replied frankly, "Yes, it's about time, and it should be soon."

"Will you be able to come to Inazuma again in the future?"

Ji Ming's answer was quite certain: "Yes, Xiao Gong can't bear to part with me?"

Naganohara Yoshimiya also said frankly, "Yes, Akira is my friend, and I'm really going to miss him."

They're clearly friends, and he hasn't left Inazuma, yet they haven't contacted each other for three whole months. Myo-kun is really going too far; Ayaka must teach him a lesson.

If the wise ruler finds a girlfriend in the future, his personality might still be as bad as it is now, and it must be corrected.

"Angry?"

"Of course, I'm very angry."

Ji Ming didn't explain: "I'm doing something big."

Naganohara Yoshimiya remained silent: "When doing great things, please don't forget your friends. You are a wise ruler who is good at leaving without saying goodbye."

Ji Ming raised his hands in surrender: "It was my fault, there will be no next time."

"I won't let Mingjun off so easily. I'm going to go to Linghua and complain about you. I'll give you a good dressing down."

"Oh my, that's scary."

Ji Ming secretly found it amusing. Even if Ayaka Kamisato were the White Heron Princess of Inazuma Castle, she wouldn't be able to reprimand a foreign diplomat, would she?

Besides, Ji Ming didn't think that his relationship with Ayaka Kamisato was that good. At most, they were just friends who were a little better than ordinary friends. He probably wouldn't criticize her or anything like that.

Naganohara Yoshimiya snorted threateningly: "Don't disbelieve me, in these past three months, Ayaka has nagged you many times, saying that you don't understand diplomatic etiquette."

Since Ji Ming was not a diplomat, but a street thug and gangster, it was normal for him to leave without saying goodbye.

Because it's really cool, leaving hope for the other person while also leaving hope for yourself.

Teyvat is vast. If we don't die, we'll meet again someday, won't we?

Chapter 113 The Forever Young Man (Total 4000 words)

"My lord, Linghua has worked so hard, hasn't she?"

“That’s right, Ms. Kamisato is so pitiful.”

Inside the house of the Kamisato residence, Kamisato Ayaka raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the commotion outside. She did not turn her head to look, but continued to maintain her dance steps, her dress fluttering in the wind.

The tutor remained strict. In her eyes, as the white egret princess of the Kamisato family, Ayaka Kamisato's dance moves and steps had to be precise to the millimeter. If there were any mistakes, it would surely bring shame to the Kamisato family.

And so, amidst a barrage of rather harsh criticism, Ayaka Kamisato began to dance, her face bearing only a polite smile, appearing rather unapproachable.

Ji Ming asked in bewilderment, "Xiaogong, what kind of dance is this?"

Nagano Hara Yoshimiya pulled out a mustache from somewhere, stuck it on, and pretended to be a knowledgeable professor: "This is Inazuma's social dance, which is used for socializing and breaking the ice at dances. It is derived from Mondstadt social dance."

"Besides the Kamisato family and other nobles, do the people of Inatsuma learn this kind of social dance? Do all the people of Inatsuma know how to dance social dance?"

"Only people who are interested will learn it. I can't dance, but I can still make friends."

To put it bluntly, Ji Ming thinks that social dancing is no different from a peacock displaying its feathers; this kind of upper-class product is probably just for showing off one's charm.

Nagano Hara Yomi turned her head, stared at Ji Ming's profile, and said quietly, "Myo-kun, are you thinking about something impolite?"

Ji Ming smiled: "You actually guessed it."

"Don't overthink it. Ayaka doesn't want to learn these things either, but she is, after all, the White Heron Princess of the Kamisato family. Since she was little, many eyes have been watching her, and she can't afford to make even the slightest mistake."

Naganohara Yomi-no-miya felt helpless. She and Kamisato Ayaka had known each other since childhood, and as childhood friends, she understood the situation of the White Heron Princess very well.

The nobles and daimyo of the various islands of Inazuma were very interested in this White Heron Princess. Some of them had children of suitable age and even planned to propose to her.

The people of Inazuma Castle also adore Princess Shiraga; this affection is akin to idol worship.

Under this pressure, although Ayaka Kamisato was well protected by her older brother Ayato Kamisato, she still consciously took on the responsibility of Princess Shiraga and chose to study a wide variety of courses.

Just as the two were talking, Ayaka Kamisato finished her ballroom dance class for the day, politely saw her tutor off, and then turned around, closed her eyes, and smiled: "Myo-kun, Yoi-miya, when did you arrive?"

Nagano Hara Shyomi shrank back, knowing what Ayaka Kamisato's expression meant; it was clear that the White Heron Princess was getting angry.

Ji Ming was completely unaware of this. He walked into the house, smiled, and waved to greet her, "Miss Kamisato, I'm here as a guest. Please don't mind my uninvited visit."

Ayaka Kamisato's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, yes, I don't mind at all. Mr. Ji is so forgetful. It's not easy for you to come to my home, how could I mind?"

Finally sensing something was wrong, Ji Ming immediately turned to look at Naganohara Yomiguchi, who was hiding behind him, and pleaded for help with his eyes. However, the big yellow dog glanced at him and simply ignored his plea for help.

Seeing that his pleas for help were ineffective, Ji Ming had no choice but to face Ayaka Kamisato alone. He changed the subject, saying, "Miss Kamisato, your dance just now was very good. I give you a thumbs up!"

"Yes, thank you for your kind words, Mr. Ji. I am truly flattered."

Princess Egret has become a master of yin and yang; her sweet little mouth is now so venomous—how terrifying!

"Miss Kamisato, I was wrong. I apologize. I shouldn't have gone three months without coming to see you."

Seeing that Ji Ming had finally stopped joking around, Ayaka Kamisato opened her eyes, put away her smile, and said with a serious face, "Ji-kun, whether you come to see us or not is another matter. We just hope that you can say goodbye to us before you leave Inazuma."

As a diplomat from Liyue, Ji Ming will eventually have to leave Inazuma Castle. As a friend, Ayaka Kamisato will pray for Ji Ming's future, provided that he honestly comes to say goodbye.

There had been no news for three months. If she hadn't asked her older brother to inquire with the Liyue delegation, Ayaka Kamisato would have assumed that Ji Ming had long since left Inazuma and returned to Liyue alone.

In an effort to gather information, Ayaka Kamisato was tested many times by her own brother, who worried that she might be tricked by a diplomat from Liyue.

Fortunately, Ji Ming did not leave, but he became a homebody. It's hard to imagine what it feels like to stay home for three months straight. Does Narukami Shrine have some kind of magical power?

Ji Ming nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know. I have urgent business to attend to in the next three months. Xiao Gong can vouch for me."

Passing Ji Ming, Ayaka Kamisato looked at Naganohara Yoshimiya and asked earnestly, "Yoshimiya, is that so?"

Naganohara Yoshimiya shook his head quickly without any hesitation: "I don't know. Myojun only said that there was an urgent matter, but he didn't tell me the details."

That big yellow dog is a menace!

"Forget it, I have no reason to interfere in Ji Jun's private affairs. Please come with me, you two. Since you've come to my house as guests, I should treat you well."

Seeing that Ayaka Kamisato was no longer angry, Ji Ming took advantage of the situation and said, "Miss Kamisato, I want to soak in the hot spring."

Ayaka Kamisato blushed slightly: "Do you want to soak in the hot spring, or would you like to soak in the hot spring with us?"

Ji Ming feigned ignorance: "What's the difference?"

While soaking in the hot spring, he chatted with two beautiful girls. Even though they were separated by a bamboo wall, he still felt that this was a wonderful experience.

There's no way around it; it's just a man's vanity at play.

Naganohara Yomi-no-miya ran to Kamisato Ayaka's side and said with a grin, "Myo-kun is a lecherous man, let's ignore him."

Ji Mingyi retorted sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. This is just normal male psychology. How can you say I'm lustful?"

Ayaka Kamisato found it amusing: "There's no hot spring for you, Ki-kun, but there is a sauna. Would you like to go?"

"Wow, Ayaka is so doting on the wise ruler!"

First came the shock, then Naganohara Yomi-no-miya immediately started making a fuss. She was clearly the rightful childhood friend, or you could say her childhood sweetheart, but it was Akira who received Ayaka Kamisato's doting affection.

A wise ruler is a philanderer!
