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

"They happened to be traveling with us; the beautiful blonde girl wanted to come to Mondstadt to find her blood relatives."

"I see. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Ji Ming. Amber will take you to Kaiya's place to register later... Mr. Ji Ming, you should still remember Kaiya, right?"

The dark-skinned, one-eyed pirate is ostensibly the captain of the cavalry, but in reality, he's the head of Mondstadt's secret service.

Seeing Ji Ming nod, Qin's smile widened. She put aside her role as acting group leader and spoke in a friendly tone, "If you have time, you can talk to Barbara more. That girl likes you a lot."

A direct shot, and it was even an assist from the older sister.

I wonder what Barbara would think if she heard this. Maybe she would blush and loudly stop Qin from speaking?

Unlike Barbara's style, this little angel might stay still, her face and neck flushed red.

"Okay, I plan to go in a little while."

Leaving the commander's office, Amber skipped around, her tone no longer wary and hostile, and asked with a grin, "Mr. Ji Ming, are you and Miss Xiangling childhood sweethearts?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Do you have any other childhood sweethearts?

"That's it. This is the only one that truly matters."

Hu Tao had met him when she was a child, and often went to the jail to bail Ji Ming out at Xiang Ling's request when she grew up. However, she had only started to get to know him gradually in the past year.

Yun Jin had never even met him when she was a child. As for Xing Qiu and Chong Yun, they had only met twice at most and were not very familiar with each other.

Why did Amber ask this question? Was she just trying to gossip?

Amber asked cheerfully, "Just childhood sweethearts?"

Ji Ming was somewhat puzzled: "Sir Amber, what exactly do you want to say? Feel free to say it."

"If it's just about childhood sweethearts, Mr. Ji Ming might consider Barbara, the idol superstar of Mondstadt. That girl is really cute."

No, what's been happening in Mondstadt lately? Why are everyone from the guild leader to the captains doing matchmaking? It's driving me crazy.

Ji Ming scratched the back of his head. Just as he was thinking about how to get out of this, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps behind him. The little cook made a dazzling appearance and blocked his way.

Xiangling pouted and said, "I'm so sorry, Amin isn't considering dating for the time being."

It's Miss Barbara again. Wendy mentioned this name once at Armin's birthday party, and Xiangling and her friends have a deep impression of this name.

Amber was an understanding girl. When she heard Xiangling's angry tone, she instantly understood everything and was filled with emotion.

Mr. Ji Ming is a womanizer.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too presumptuous. I shouldn't have interfered in Mr. Ji Ming's private affairs."

The girl in front of me, Xiangling, is Mr. Ji Ming's childhood sweetheart. She looks adorable, but she is a bit possessive of her food.

Mr. Ji Ming and Miss Xiang Ling seem to have a very good relationship, so Barbara's chances of success seem very low.

Troubled, Amber decided to stop overthinking. She had a feeling that Mr. Ji Ming would get into big trouble in the future, and she hoped that blood would spill on her.

I'm off to tell Yura about this interesting thing; it's been several days since I last chatted with her.

Chapter 129 The Little Chef and Her Childhood Sweetheart Who Wins Without Lifting a Finger

"Ji Ming, do you know the head of the ensemble?"

Paimon, with a gossipy look on his face, sidled up to Ji Ming and kept asking questions. The little guy's face was full of admiration, and he couldn't believe that his companion knew a country's acting leader.

Ying didn't speak, but her face was also full of curiosity. She knew that Ji Ming was a native of Teyvat, but this guy always knew a lot of things that didn't belong to this world, making him someone worth paying attention to.

Speaking of Teyvat, it's amazing! I just touched the Anemo statue and actually got a Wind-attribute Eye of God, which seems to be similar to the one Ji Ming has on his waist.

Xiangling was quite concerned about Ji Ming's interpersonal relationships in Mondstadt, especially Miss Barbara from the Church of Favonius; she wanted to see what she was really like.

I saw the little doll at my birthday party; it looked quite cute. I wonder what the real person looks like.

Hmph, if she were a two-faced, wicked woman, Xiangling would definitely... personally and fiercely reject her on Ji Ming's behalf.

If Barbara is truly a lovely and kind girl, and if Ji Ming really falls for her, then Xiang Ling probably wouldn't do anything to interfere. She would probably tearfully wish Ji Ming happiness.

If Armin really marries the woman from Mondstadt, judging from his childhood sweetheart's personality, he will probably move to Mondstadt without hesitation to become her son-in-law.

Ugh, no way! Even if you marry another woman, don't leave Liyue Harbor! Childhood sweethearts should live happily together for the rest of their lives.

Well, it's okay if I don't marry her, the important thing is that it's for a lifetime.

Ji Ming shrugged: "I've been to Mondstadt before, and there were some minor incidents. I'm not really that familiar with Director Qin. We've only had dinner together once and chatted a few times."

Did Ji Ming and Commander Qin have dinner together?

The three little girls quickly grasped the key point and gave each other strange looks.

Ji Ming said helplessly, "Don't misunderstand, we're really not familiar with each other."

The three girls were all skeptical. Whether it was Xiangling, whom they had known since childhood, or Ying and Paimeng, whom they had met later, they all knew Ji Ming's true nature and that he might just be spouting nonsense.

But let's leave him alone for now. The most important thing right now is to find a place to stay.

Paimon raised his hand: "I want to go to a luxury hotel!"

Ji Ming: "Rejected."

Paimon wailed, "Why?"

Why? There's only one luxury hotel in Mondstadt, and Ji Ming isn't ready to meet Rosalind again. Besides, the Goethe Hotel has been booked by the Fools, so no one else is allowed inside.

Ignoring the little one's pleading and whining, Ji Ming looked at Ying and Xiang Ling and asked, "Where do you two want to stay?"

Ying raised her hand to indicate, "I'm fine with anything."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xiangling blinked and said, "Aming, I heard that you used to live in the West Wind Church. I want to go to the place where you used to live."

What, are you trying to go head-to-head with Barbara in the mid lane?

Ji Ming shook his head, banishing the inexplicable thought. Xiang Ling was an exceptionally good childhood friend; she would never do such a thing.

Come to think of it, he has never seen Xiangling argue with anyone else.

“Sure, the Church of the West Wind is right next to the Knights of the West Wind, it’s only a ten-minute walk away.”

The Church of the West Winds has rooms available for guests. The living conditions are not luxurious, but they are still much better than those of a regular hotel. You can get a free stay by simply believing in the wind god Barbatos.

After leaving the Knights of Favonius, Ji Ming led the group to the Church of Favonius. There were no nuns or priests in the square outside the church, but the sound of chanting and reciting scriptures could be heard from inside the church.

Paimon, the little guy, was very curious, so he flew over and peeked through the crack in the gate.

Inspired by the little guy, Ying and Xiangling also became curious. The former, whose expression was already quite abstract, naturally went over to peek.

The latter hesitated for a moment, and only after confirming Ji Ming's agreement did he come to the gate and look around.

The little girl leading the group had adorable pigtails and a cute face, but there was a striking contrast in her serious demeanor when she was chanting scriptures.

She looks like a little doll. Is she the Miss Barbara that Mr. Wendy mentioned?

Xiangling lowered her gaze, her face flushed, and looked at Barbara's chest, which was about the same size as her own, making them evenly matched.

Okay, don't worry, Amin likes big ones.

"who is it?"

The nun near the door sensed something was wrong, turned to look at the half-open door, and was startled by three pairs of eyes.

After receiving etiquette training, the nun quickly reacted, stopped chanting, turned around and bowed: "May the wind god protect you, you unfamiliar travelers, may I ask what brings you here?"

Ji Ming poked his head out: "Hey, Sister Grace, we meet again?"

The first person to greet him was this middle-aged nun. She was very kind and was said to be the adoptive mother of a child who had lost his father.

Ji Ming has always held the greatest goodwill towards these kind-hearted welfare workers.

Sister Grace examined him closely, and said with some surprise, "It's Mr. Ji Ming! So you're not dead after all."

Ji Ming was speechless: "No, why do you think I'm dead?"

"Because you were lively and energetic in the morning, but disappeared in the afternoon, and we didn't see you until late at night."

"You've all been waiting for me?"

Sister Grace nodded: "Hmm."

Ji Ming asked, puzzled, "Why? Wasn't I just a traveler from a foreign land back then?"

"Because you are the favorite of the wind god."

He only prayed for a simple prayer and was able to obtain a special wind-attribute God's Eye. Doesn't that prove that he is Lord Barbatos's favorite?

Sister Grace was overjoyed to see her beloved child reappear today, having thought the child had died young. She turned to remind Barbara, who had just opened her eyes.

Barbara blinked, turned to look at Ji Ming, but before he could react, she turned her head away again, her face full of displeasure: "Hmph!"

Ji Ming was a little embarrassed. Sister Grace gave him a helpless look and then dismissed the other nuns in the church.

Ying grinned mischievously. She had been wanting to see Ji Ming's embarrassing moments for a long time, and now that she had stumbled upon them, she might as well sit down, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show.

Paimon is also a bit heartless, colluding with Ying, and only behaved himself when he was used as a reserve food.

“Armin, Mr. Wendy said that Miss Barbara is very angry about you leaving without saying goodbye. That was wrong.”

Xiangling looked up at Ji Ming and pinched his cheek: "As your childhood friend, I have an obligation to apologize on your behalf and, by the way, resolve your conflict with Miss Barbara."

Xiangling also had a deep impression of this matter. As his childhood sweetheart, she naturally did not want Ji Ming's interpersonal relationships to be flawed.
