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

Page 137

"That doesn't matter. What I want to know is, Cat, have you ever been criticized by the historian?"

Ke Maomao said irritably, "Don't call me Maomao. I definitely did argue with you. Before, when I wasn't at Yujingtai, a historian came to the construction site and said I wasn't doing my job properly. He seemed to be from the Sima family too. A bunch of straightforward idiots."

"Not a bad guy?"

"No, the historian is just straightforward and honest. He's not a bad person, just a bit annoying."

It's more than just infuriating. Even someone like Ji Ming couldn't take revenge on the spot. He always believed in the principle of "repaying a debt on the spot." This time, he failed to get revenge on the spot, and his blood pressure must have risen several times over.

However, upon hearing Ke Qing's explanation, Ji Ming's anger seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of water, miraculously subsiding considerably. After all, the historians were all straightforward fools, and there was no need to get angry with those guys.

Once he becomes the second-generation Rock King Emperor, Ji Ming will be able to immediately change the history book however he wants...

Well, Ji Ming can't do that. His conscience hasn't been eaten by the sugar, and he can't do anything to tamper with history, as long as the historians record the facts truthfully.

Incidentally, after passing through the checkpoint, Ji Ming glanced back and discovered that Sima Yi had quietly torn out the page he had just written, acting as if nothing had happened, and continued to diligently perform his duties at the checkpoint.

Interesting, are you trying to get his attention?

Upon closer examination, Sima Yi did indeed have his reasons for doing so. He came from the Sima family, whose members had always been active at the top of the political arena, and he certainly wouldn't want to serve as a mere military supervisor.

According to Ji Ming's analysis, Sima Yi's status in the Sima family must not have been high. He should have been a member of a collateral branch or a separate family. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to serve as a minor military supervisor, especially at a small outpost.

If you think like a normal person, there are only two ways to quickly break through your original social class: either pass the entrance exam for Yujingtai or fight your way to Yujingtai.

Ji Ming himself belongs to the third unconventional approach, which is to curry favor with Morax.

Sima Yi's actions probably fall into the third category: he wanted to curry favor with Ji Ming.

It's a bit tense. Who would deliberately provoke someone who's trying to curry favor with them? Aren't they afraid of being retaliated against later?

Well, Sima Yi had probably made two preparations. If Ji Ming really retaliated, he could preserve his reputation. If Ji Ming did not retaliate, he could try the next step of his plan until he could successfully turn his life around.

It has to be said that this move was brilliant, and it made Ji Ming extremely unhappy.

"Kitty, I want a kiss."

When Ji Ming said those words out of the blue, Ke Qing blushed, but she didn't refuse. Instead, she leaned down from behind the armchair and gently kissed Ji Ming's lips.

Ke Qing raised her head, her tone softening unconsciously: "Let's not talk about historians anymore, let's talk about that matter."

Ji Ming feigned ignorance: "Which matter?"

Keqing raised her cat-like fist and threatened, "Which matter are you referring to?"

Okay, Ji Ming remembered now. Ke Maomao wanted to help him build a harem. Although he didn't know why, he was really touched and often felt guilty.

Moved as he was, and feeling guilty as he was, Ji Ming decided not to be sentimental since the will of the cat was so simple, and he was prepared to follow his heart's desire.

"How about I take a few days to recover? We've only just returned to Liyue Harbor."

"No, the ceremony to invite the immortals will be held in just over ten days. Although I'm not in charge of it, as the Jade Balance Star, I still have a lot of work to do. You must find out their thoughts as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Is the cat carving a sign that it wants to throw a party?

It's hard not to suspect that maybe Ke Maomao just likes this kind of romantic atmosphere. Otherwise, why would she urge herself to build a harem? It seems like she has no other option but to throw a party, right?

Wow, this cat carving is so suggestive, I love it!

Unable to see the wicked smile on Ji Ming's face, Ke Qing began to offer her advice: "Who is your first target?"

Ji Ming replied, "Cat."

Ke Qing was somewhat annoyed: "Besides me?"

Ji Ming thought for a moment, then answered again, "Senior Sister!"

Sure enough, this guy is obsessed with his senior sister.

Ke Qing felt a little jealous, but when she thought that Gan Yu was actually very understanding, she wasn't so jealous anymore. If Qilin Banxian joined the family, he might become a great help to her.

After all, she's the woman Qiqi calls "Mom," and her strength is terrifying.

"Listen, you take a rest first, and then this afternoon you'll ask Gan Yu out to go shopping together, and then invite her over to your house."

"playing what?"

You know what you're doing!

Anyway, we can't play in bed, but anything else is fine. The only one who can play in bed with Ji Ming is Ke Qing!

Ke Qing took a deep breath and sat down on the bedside: "In short, you need to reason with her and appeal to her emotions. You can't hide our relationship. Gan Yu may reject you, but as long as she doesn't show any disgust, you still have a chance."

Ji Mingzhuang nodded: "I understand, Teacher Cat."

Ke Qing said helplessly, "I already told you not to call me Cat. If Gan Yu really shows disgust, then you shouldn't keep bothering me, otherwise we won't be able to be fellow disciples anymore."

"I know this, and I won't force them."

"Good to know. Who is your second target? Is it Miss Walnut?"

"It's Xiangling. Actually, I did consider putting Xiangling first, but it's a bit of a dilemma."

"It's really difficult to decide on an order, but you must not give up unless they swear they will never like you again."

Honestly, Ji Ming is the one who's building the harem, so why does she have to come and teach him step by step?

Carving cats felt very tired. She didn't know why she was so skilled at it. People who didn't know her would think she had a harem.

You stupid, blockhead rascal, you wicked fox succubus, I'll drain you dry in bed from now on!

Chapter 175 Eternal Sincerity (Total 4000 words)

As a natural traveler, after confirming that Jiming's mood had returned to normal, Ying took Paimon out on an adventure. She had always been curious about countries with long histories, especially ancient countries like Liyue.

Ying tried to invite Ji Ming to go on an adventure together, but Ji Ming had no intention of going with her. He had visited every inch of Liyue before, and years ago he even sneaked into the Rocky Abyss to collect mineral fragments to sell for money.

Ying (Bronze) has invited Ji Ming (King) to join a three-player match. Do you agree?

Ji Ming (King of Glory) immediately refused and sent a "If you're bad, practice more" emoji.

In short, Ying is out fooling around with Paimon, and Keqing is back at Jade Capital Terrace preparing to work late into the night. She probably has a lot of work piled up, so it's best not to disturb her.

Suddenly freed from his busy work, Ji Ming found it difficult to adjust upon returning to Liyue Harbor.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. In fact, the same principle applies to work. During the half month in Guili County, Ji Ming almost became a workaholic and could not switch to a lazy state for a while.

I've decided, I'll go find Senior Sister Gan Yu first.

He walked out of the bedroom, opened the main door, and was then stuffed into a sack by Sister Dudu. The familiar location and the familiar sack left Ji Ming numb.

Whatever, it's fine.

"Hey, stop playing dead, Xiao Ji!"

Sister Dudu gritted her teeth and carried Ji Ming on her shoulder. In the past, the child would twist and turn to show his resistance, but this time he was very obedient and did not move at all.

Ji Ming spoke calmly, as if he had seen through the world, and said, "So, you, the Hall of Rebirth, are finally going to make your move, aren't you? Let me make it clear beforehand, I am now Ke Qing's man."

Sister Dudu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in a completely unseemly manner, her eyes brimming with tears, "It's over, Xiao Ji's innocence is gone, she's no longer a fledgling, Master, I'm so sorry."

"Don't talk nonsense. At least carry me to the Rebirth Hall. It faces the main street, and people have already noticed us."

Ji Ming was even more helpless. It was just dating. How did Sister Dudu interpret it as him not being a fledgling?

Let me clarify this for now, mainly because I'm afraid Hu Tao might misunderstand, since this girl is also one of Ji Ming's targets.

"Sister Dudu, I am still a virgin."

Sister Dudu carried Ji Ming into the Hall of Rebirth, and continued walking inside in front of Grandpa Zhongli, their destination being the Hu family mansion further in.

"Hmph, Xiao Ji likes Se Se the most. Lady Ke Qing of Yuheng Star looks like she's not to be disturbed, but she actually has a super soft personality. If Xiao Ji acts cute a few times, she'll definitely agree to do those things, right?"

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, Dudu, always start talking about adult topics.

Ji Ming raised an eyebrow. What he wanted to say was that Ke Maomao was actually the one who liked Se Se the most. Every time, it was Ke Maomao who suggested kissing or hugging, and he was just respecting Ke Maomao's wishes.

However, she didn't say it in the end. Don't think that just because Keqing is a proud cat, she doesn't care about her reputation. She is still a member of Yuheng Star, and she has to save face no matter what.

Of course, when he's home alone with her, the righteous and majestic Lord Yuheng Star transforms into a soft and gentle kitten.

No changing size anywhere!

After lost in thought for a while, Ji Ming suddenly remembered: "Did I just hear Minister Zhongli's voice?"

Despite her sorrowful expression, Sister Dudu kindly reminded him, "Yes, Elder Zhongli greeted you, but you didn't respond at all."

Honestly, they didn't even give a response. Zhongli Keqing has already put on the standard expression of a lonely old man.

With the sack over his head, Ji Ming couldn't see Zhong Li's expression. He could only reconstruct Zhong Li's expression in his mind. Just thinking about how Zhong Li, the old man, looked like a lonely old man made him laugh.

"Stop grinning like an idiot! Explain to me what exactly happened between you and Lady Keqing!"

"Like I just said, we've started dating."

Sister Dudu stopped joking and sighed, a hint of sorrow in her voice: "Is that so? It seems the Hall Master has no chance."

Ji Ming chuckled: "Yes, brothers, yes."

Dodo: "…………?"

In an instant, Sister Dudu, who had read countless romance novels in Liyue and had a perfect score in theoretical knowledge, almost immediately understood what Ji Ming meant.

This kid is trying to have his cake and eat it too!
