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

However, after waiting for a while, she still didn't hear Ji Ming's reply, and she became even more nervous.

Give me some response, junior brother! You came over here to tease me all by yourself, and now that I'm actually calling you, you're not responding at all. You're such a naughty kid.

"Junior Brother... are you still there?"

"Ah...ah! Of course I'm here. Senior sister, could you repeat it again? I want to hear it again."

"No, senior sister has to work. Junior brother Ji Ming can go home and rest. Senior sister will figure out Mora's matter. You don't need to worry about it."

Ji Ming was satisfied, but a new ambition quietly sprouted. He coughed a few times, leaned forward and hugged Gan Yu, who had her back to him, and said with a smile, "Today I want to stay with my senior sister."

She patted Ji Ming's hand, and once he relaxed his grip slightly, Gan Yu immediately turned around and snuggled into his arms, burying her face in his strong chest.

"Okay, but I'd like to ask Junior Brother Ji Ming a question."

"If you know something, you must speak it out."

"You and Ke Qing..."

Ji Ming was startled and cautiously looked at Gan Yu in his arms, only to see that she did not lift her head and continued to bury herself in his arms, which was really very obedient.

"Yes, Keqing and I are dating."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu felt a great sense of loss. She had wanted to break free from Ji Ming's embrace, withdraw her inappropriate feelings, and become a good senior sister who wouldn't cross the line. However, the sense of loss and resentment in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

The words that were on the tip of her tongue turned out as: "Junior Brother Ji Ming, has it been that Senior Sister has treated you badly?"

No... no, this is not something a good senior sister should say. We must make amends as soon as possible!

"Um... what I wanted to say was, before you started dating, did I ever make you unhappy?"

No, this is making things worse!

Gan Yu was on the verge of tears but had no tears left. This gentle and refined fortune teller could only continue to bury her face in Ji Ming's chest, remaining silent and pretending to be an ostrich.

Ji Ming's eyes lit up, and he simply confessed, "I like Ke Qing, and everyone else too."

Having lived for thousands of years, Gan Yu may appear ignorant and confused, but she has actually seen many people and things. How could she not know what Ji Ming's words meant?

"Junior Brother Ji Ming, you mustn't be so sentimental."

"Junior brother, you mustn't be sentimental, but can the young emperor be sentimental?"

"Even the young emperor can't!"

Feeling the heavy breathing against his chest, Ji Ming quickly hugged Gan Yu tightly and comforted her, "I really like you, Senior Sister Gan Yu."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu's eyes reddened, and she sniffed, her voice slightly nasal: "That's a foul, Junior Brother Ji Ming."

"What Senior Sister Gan Yu just said was also very unfair to me."

"No way!"

"What does it mean to say 'for the Emperor, for the Emperor, for the Little Emperor, for the Little Emperor'?"

Gan Yu suppressed her embarrassment: "It doesn't mean anything."

Ji Ming smiled and said, "Really?"

Ignoring Ji Ming, Gan Yu sighed and steered the conversation back on track: "So, it's true that Junior Brother Ji Ming might betray Ke Qing?"

That's not how it works. It was Cat Consort who asked me to start a harem. Empress Qi, please don't misunderstand.

"I will never betray Keqing."

Gan Yu raised her head, her eyes filled with deep suspicion. She asked softly, "Did Ke Qing know about this? My junior brother likes so many girls, including me. She must be feeling terrible. So I won't interfere in your relationship."

Noticing that Gan Yu was beginning to struggle slightly, Ji Ming had no choice but to let go and release her from his embrace.

Sure enough, he didn't fall for the wrong person when he was young. The aloof yet gentle Gan Yu has always been his ideal woman, and it still is now.

However, Gan Yu is the same Gan Yu as before, and Ji Ming is not the same Ji Ming as before. He has to try to get all the women he likes to agree, unless the women he likes will feel pain or sadness because of it.

If there is no sadness or pain, why doesn't Jiming create a life where everyone can feel happy?

This might sound arrogant, but Ji Ming already had the right to be arrogant. Besides, he was a greedy and stubborn person to begin with, and after Ke Qing's encouragement, he had no reason to give up.

"Ke Qing will know, all the women I love will know."

Gan Yu said seriously, "Even if you know the truth, you can't do this. It's irresponsible... I'm sorry, I'm not criticizing you, but doing this will hurt Ke Qing and the other girls."

Ji Ming did not deny this: "Yes, but I am trying to find a way that will not hurt you."

"Really, don't presume to include your senior sister in your list of targets, you greedy junior brother."

"There's no way around it. Senior Sister Gan Yu was my goal eleven years ago. It's just that I only have the courage to pursue you now, a goal that was once out of reach."

What? So that's what happened back then...

Gan Yu recalled the past, that dark night with the moonlight, when she walked onto the stone bridge with an umbrella and met Ji Ming, who lived under the stone bridge. At that time, her junior brother was dirty, his face covered in mud, but his eyes were very bright.

I thought it was the moonlight shining on me, but I never imagined it was because I saw her under the moonlight.

Nothing has changed; when the junior brother looked at her, his eyes remained bright.

The fortune teller has a very weak sense of time; it often takes years to build trust, let alone develop feelings for someone.

When did things change, and when did she fall in love with her junior brother?

I don't know, but I've just fallen in love with it.

Gan Yu pursed her lips: "So, if Senior Sister had confessed her feelings a long time ago, Junior Brother Ji Ming would have accepted without hesitation, right?"

Ji Ming winked and said, "If I had confessed eleven years ago, Senior Sister Gan Yu might have been arrested by the Qianyan Army, since I was only eight years old at the time."

"Will Junior Brother Ji Ming agree?"

"I was very young at that time and didn't understand what it meant to like someone."

Will Junior Brother Ji Ming agree?

Looking at the stubborn Gan Yu, Ji Ming smiled and said, "Of course I agree. If Senior Sister Gan Yu wants to try out the nurturing system, I, your junior brother, will naturally do my best to help."

Gan Yu's cheeks flushed: "I didn't have any strange thoughts, I just wanted to confirm..."

"Just to confirm?"

"To confirm my feelings for my junior brother."

Ji Ming was very curious: "What was the result?"

Her clothes were gently pinched, and Gan Yu took a deep breath and said seriously, "I like Junior Brother Ji Ming."

Ji Ming was overjoyed: "That's wonderful!"

Gan Yu immediately added, "It's not allowed to date your junior brother."

"Ah, why is this?"

She was already very content. If she hadn't failed to realize her feelings for him in time, she probably would have been the one to become Ji Ming's girlfriend.

The first place doesn't go to Ke Qing, but to Gan Yu. She has been Ji Ming's white moonlight for eleven years.

It's a pity... but there's nothing to regret. Since I can't be your girlfriend, I'll just be the perfect senior sister to Junior Brother Ji Ming.

"Senior sister, can I pursue you?"

"Okay, but I won't agree, and I'll also stop my junior brother from pursuing any girl other than Keqing."

Wow, what a firm tone! As expected of the Seven Star Secretary of Justice, it looks like he'll have to unleash his ultimate technique.

Ji Ming smiled slightly: "That's not up to you. I am the little emperor of Liyue, a once-famous gang member. Although I'm not very skilled at abducting women, it's still part of my job."

Gan Yu's eyes widened: "No!"

Holding Gan Yu tightly, Ji Ming remained unmoved despite feeling his senior sister struggling. He even reached out and gently squeezed her waist.

I have to admit that my senior sister's figure is absolutely perfect, without a single flaw.

Ji Ming was fairly well-behaved; he only slightly pinched her waist, and didn't touch anything he shouldn't have.

"Accept your fate, senior sister, I've got my eye on you."

"Junior Brother Ji Ming, even so, I will not agree."

Gan Yu hugged her junior brother tightly, feeling his large, restless hands. She chose to give up resisting, blushing as she silently endured his misbehavior.

What to do? This is the young emperor, after all. Even if he really wants to forcibly take a woman from the common people, she has no choice but to comply.

Chapter 189 Acting cute won't work on my master.

The towering, continuous mountain range symbolizes the most treacherous and mysterious landscape in Liyue, making it a favorite retreat for immortals.

Mt. Aozang, one of the mountains of Liyue, is also the location of the cave of Lord Liuyun. Every year, many mortals go up the mountain in search of immortal opportunities, but without exception, they all fail.

Those who are not sincere will never be accepted by the celestials. They will only wander around like headless flies in the celestial illusions on the cliffs, eventually returning to Liyue Harbor to continue being ordinary people.

In short, it seems that there is no one else like her little apprentice in the entire Liyue region.

Watching yet another seeker of immortality depart, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng shook his head, flapped his wings, and flew back to his cave. Looking at Shen He, who was tidying up the stone table, he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

"Shen He, why don't you stay in Liyue Harbor a few more days? You said Ji Ming became an Emperor, why don't you go and help him out?"

“Master, since Junior Brother Ji Ming has Senior Sister Gan Yu by his side, and I am neither good at handling political affairs nor at entertaining guests, I have returned to cultivate earlier.”

What a silly child, he must be heartbroken. But there's nothing he can do. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun is his master, and Shen He and Gan Yu are both his disciples. They're both his flesh and blood, and there's no way to resolve matters of the heart.
