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

Page 142

Xiao nodded: "Don't worry about my health. Now that you've become the Wind God, you naturally have to take on the responsibilities of the Wind God. Don't let Mondstadt underestimate the Liyue Asuras."

The implication was that Ji Ming should not stay in Liyue Harbor all the time, but should visit Mondstadt more often, and ideally win the approval of the Mondstadt people so as to annex the entire Mondstadt.

Well, all of this was just Ji Ming's imagination. Xiao didn't think that way at all. He probably really wanted Ji Ming to fulfill his duty and govern Mondstadt properly.

It doesn't matter what happens in Mondstadt. As long as the Knights of Favonius are there, everything will be fine. The sky won't fall.

The most important task at present is to complete the trials of Morax, and the trial brought by the first decree is to suppress the karmic obstacles of his own master uncle. If he has the ability, he can even eliminate them directly.

"Uncle-Master Xiao, can karmic obstacles only be suppressed when playing the flute?"

"No, it's a magical affinity, not the recorder's doing."

I understand. The recorder is just a medium, and playing the recorder is just a way of outputting energy. The purpose is to suppress karmic obstacles. The real MVP is actually the wind element affinity of the Heart of God.

That's right. The Eye of the Wind God and the Eye of the Water God are the most common standard equipment for healers, and wind and water elements are also the most common healing spells.

The problem is, although Wendy is a bit of a slacker, as a bard, her skills in playing musical instruments and singing should not be underestimated; she is a true multi-talented person.

But Ji Ming had never received any education in musical instruments or music theory. He certainly couldn't play the flute, and he had never even touched an accordion.

In this situation, how can we suppress karmic obstacles?

Ji Ming made up his mind, looked down at his martial uncle, and smiled slightly: "Martial Uncle Xiao, do you like listening to songs?"

Xiao was a little puzzled, but still answered as usual, "Of course I like it. Why bring up music?"

Ji Ming's smile was somewhat subtle: "I'll sing you a song; maybe it can help suppress your karmic obstacles?"

"I see. Then give it a try."

Seeing that Xiao was all ears, Ji Ming stopped being polite, tugged at the knot of his cloak, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, becoming dignified.

With a sharp look in his eyes, Ji Ming revealed a resolute expression, as if he were a great hero who would save the world, and no matter how powerful the opponent, they could not stop him.

Now, the song is Ji Ming's sword, and he will personally wield the sword to cut off the karmic obstacles that are troubling his master!

"There has never been a savior! Nor do we rely on gods or emperors!"

A rousing song rang out, scaring away the nearby birds. The usually imposing and aloof immortal fell into complete silence.

Chapter 179 The Part on Protecting One's Own

"Disciple, you've caused me trouble again?"

"How could that be? Your disciple has done everything in his power to remove karmic obstacles for Uncle-Master Xiao. Even if it wasn't a good thing, it certainly wasn't a bad thing, was it?"

"It's good to get rid of karmic obstacles, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you, this wicked disciple, to sing to the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?"

"What's wrong with singing? Hasn't Uncle-Master Xiao's karmic burden already decreased a lot?"

Inside the cave, the crane-shaped True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng could no longer bear it. She stretched her neck and pecked at Ji Ming's head several times. Seeing that the child still wanted to run away, she chased after him and pecked him mercilessly.

One was a True Lord, and the other was a True Lord's disciple; neither of them had any self-awareness in maintaining their composure.

Even while being chased and pecked, Ji Ming remained composed and even had the leisure to greet the somewhat flustered Shen He, waving and smiling, "Senior Sister, it's been a long time! I've missed you terribly. Can we have a hug later?"

Who is Shen He? The second disciple of the True Lord, the most popular white-haired fairy in the villages near Mount Aozang, how could she be easily tempted by her own junior brother?

As the most loyal disciple of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Shen He would never be captured by his junior brother.

"Master, please stop chasing me. My junior brother wants to hug me."

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord: "?"

Lord Liuyun was furious, partly because he felt his authority had been challenged, and partly because he felt slightly indignant.

You haven't visited in so long, and now that you've finally been captured by the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, all you want to do is hug your senior sister, not your master, is that it?!

Hey, you wicked disciple, take this peck!

Watching the comedic situation between master and disciple, Xiao, who had been keeping a straight face, felt a little helpless and had no choice but to speak up to stop it: "Alright, your disciple has been kind to me, and I have come here to express my gratitude. Liu Yun, you have taught three good disciples."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng finally stopped his pursuit. While feeling proud, he was also a little wary and quickly backed down.

"Great Sage, you flatter me. My three disciples each have their own unique personalities, especially the youngest one. To be praised by you, Great Sage, is surely a stroke of good fortune for him. However..."

"but?"

"This immortal will not give up his disciples. If the Great Sage wants to take on disciples, he can go to the mortal world to find someone with the right destiny."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun is very protective of her own. Don't be fooled by her scolding of Ji Ming; it's all to save face for Xiao and prevent this great demon-slaying saint from uttering any words of blame.

However, since they were all colleagues, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was genuinely teaching Ji Ming a lesson, fearing that the child's actions might trigger Xiao's karmic retribution.

Xiao's face was expressionless, but the veins on his forehead were bulging. In the past, he was easily controlled by his karma when he was angry, but now it was different. After being healed by the song of a certain new wind god, most of his karma had disappeared.

That's right, it's disappearance, not just suppression. The feeling of regaining control of his soul and body greatly surprised Xiao. If Ji Ming's singing hadn't made his blood pressure spike, he might have asked Ji Ming to sing for him every day.

Seeing this, Xiao naturally couldn't get angry at Ji Ming's abstract behavior. He was happy to have such a good junior apprentice, although he usually wouldn't show a happy expression.

“Liu Yun, I have no intention of taking away your disciples, so you don’t need to be wary of me,” Xiao paused, then added, “Sometimes I may need Ji Ming’s support, so I hope you won’t be stingy with your help.”

Hearing this, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng lowered his guard and said generously, "Use it whenever you want, anyway, this kid is always so free... If he's so free, why doesn't he come back to Mount Aozang to see me? Even if he doesn't see me, doesn't he see his senior sister?"

The resentful tone gave Ji Ming goosebumps instantly, and he quickly smiled and said, "I used to be very free, but I've been busy lately. My disciple was appointed by the Emperor as the Prefect of Guili County and only returned to Liyue Port a few days ago."

"Wait, Guili County? Prefect? ​​Emperor?! I knew nothing about this, and no one informed me. Shen He, are you aware of this?"

Shen He looked bewildered: "This disciple does not know."

That's true. This child hasn't gone down the mountain to train recently; he's been cultivating by my side the whole time, so he probably doesn't know about this.

Why does the Emperor value this child so much? Is it merely because he is the son of an old friend?

If that's the case, then True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng really doesn't want the Emperor to do that. Ji Ming probably doesn't need compensation. Rather than letting him hold a high position among the common people, it's better to let him live according to his own wishes.

However, the Emperor has his own reasons for doing things, so he probably doesn't need to worry about these things.

But why is it that I, as the master, am unaware of this? It's one thing for Ji Ming, but Gan Yu is the Seven Star Secretary of Liyue Harbor, so that child must know. Why didn't she come to inform her?

Thinking of this, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng started to feel awkward again. He looked up and glared at Ji Ming, only to find the child looking at him with a mocking expression. He then pecked him several more times in a fit of anger.

"Master, please have mercy on your words!"

Despite saying that, Ji Ming did not dodge and let Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun peck him solidly several times. He knew that he rarely came to Aozang Mountain to visit his master and senior sister, and he did feel guilty. So he thought of letting Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun vent his anger.

Xiao spoke up in time, giving them a way out: "Not to mention the immortals of Mount Aozang, even the Lishui Dieshan of Mount Hulao and the Xiaoyue Zhuyang of Qingyun Peak don't know about it."

It's not necessarily true. There is a decree in the hands of the immortals, but unfortunately, the immortal who holds the decree seems unwilling to show himself. My master and Uncle Xiao definitely don't have the decree, otherwise they would have made it clear long ago.

Uncle Xiao is a man of few words, but he is especially loyal to the Emperor. One second he receives an imperial decree, and the next he will be running to Crimson Cloud Slope in Liyue Harbor. He might even shout in front of all the people of Liyue, "The three-year period has come to an end. We respectfully welcome the young Emperor back to his throne."

Thankfully, it wasn't in Uncle Xiao's hands, otherwise he would have publicly executed it. Thinking about it now, I actually feel a little ashamed.

It's even less likely that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun will be around. If the Emperor's decree were in her hands, she would probably only be shocked for a few days before sending it to Liyue Harbor at top speed. She might even help Ji Ming pass the test.

Yes, regarding the issue of protecting one's own.

"Great Sage, do you perhaps know something?"

"I...I don't know either."

Such suspicious slowness. The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons must know something, otherwise why would he suddenly be so slow? True Lord Liuyun Borrows Wind has never seen Xiao hesitate before; he has always been a very decisive immortal.

To make his words believable, Xiao had no choice but to bring up known facts: "A few days ago, when I was clearing away the remnants of the demon god in Guili Plain, I did see a new city, but I didn't know that the governor of the new city was Ji Ming."

"When the new city was being built in Guili Plain, I said that the Emperor was interested in her. I didn't believe it at the time, even though I was talking about water management, mountain building, and moon-shaping construction. Hehe."

elf:"?"

Ji Ming: "?"

Shen He: “?”

The three of them simultaneously cast question marks, looking at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun as if he were an idiot. Their three unfathomable gazes made her uneasy.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun feigned composure: "Why are you looking at me? I was just expressing my feelings."

The three remained silent, continuing to watch Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun. Just as she was about to give up, the three subtly shifted their gaze. Ji Ming began to change the subject to avoid embarrassing his master.

"Senior sister, it's been a long time!"

"Junior brother, what about the hug we promised?"

In front of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, Ji Ming hugged Shen He. Looking at his senior sister, who was only half a head shorter than him, he couldn't help but say, "It's my fault for not looking for you, senior sister. Why don't you come back to Liyue Harbor with me and live in Guili County from now on?"

Shen He replied without hesitation, "Okay."

Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind was furious: "This is bad!"

The eldest disciple is the Seven Stars Secretary in Liyue Harbor, the third disciple is the governor of Guili County, and now only the second disciple can stay by his side and talk to him. Lord Liuyun Jiefeng would never give him up so easily.

"Master, will you come back with me?"

"Okay, okay... Oh no!"

It was a close call; she was almost captured by her own disciple. Fortunately, her skills were profound, and she resisted the child's temptation.

Living with her three disciples—what a wonderful scene! When she's bored, she can chat about Gan Yu's childhood stories, and they can also go to Liyue Harbor to enjoy delicious food. She'll never be alone again.
