Genshin Impact: Forced to Become a Follower of the Seven Gods

The breeze brought the salty smell of sea water, and the noise from the dock seemed to be blocked out.

Su Ming leaned on the wooden boxes piled up at the dock and glanced at the two people in front of him.

"The surface of this stone is smooth..." Zhongli pointed his fingers in the air in front of him, his voice low, but his eyes were full of leisure, as if identifying a stone was just a piece of cake for him.

With just one glance, he could tell the quality and origin of the stone, and even some of the related legends or names.

Although the stories he told were slightly different from the stories passed down by word of mouth, after careful verification, you will find that they are all true.

The blonde girl looked around, stepped back slightly, and looked at Su Ming, "Aren't you going to talk to them?"

Hearing this, Paimeng nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhongli will not lose. This man named Kunjun also looks very powerful, and you..."

"You..." Paimon tilted his head and pursed his lips, "I feel like you and them would have a lot to talk about."

Su Ming is the kind of person who can get along well with many people. He is worthy of being Zhongli's student.

Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes flickered, "No, I don't know much about stones."

Ying took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed Su Ming's sleeve, and lowered her voice and said, "You don't understand stones?! Your parents are in the stone business in Liyue! You can tell at a glance at the Lantern Festival that the floating stones I dug out are just of strange colors!"

Can you please not lie to her face?!

"I haven't learned these." Su Ming remained calm, but his eyes fell on Kunjun, and said, "Anyone in Liyue can comment on jade, but if you want to master it... I'm not in the jade business."

His biological mother is currently in the palace of Zhidong Kingdom, eating melon with the Queen. Is he going to follow in her footsteps?

Or will he follow in his father's footsteps and return directly to Zhidong to become a politician?

"Aren't you worried about Mr. Zhongli?" Ying looked up at Su Ming and said, "If Zhongli loses, then you, as his student..."

"Mr. Zhongli will not lose." Su Ming lowered his eyes and glanced at Ying, saying righteously, "I don't allow you to say anything about Mr. Zhongli. Anyone can lose, but Mr. Zhongli will definitely not lose."

As soon as the words fell, the two people who were competing were also stunned.

Zhongli turned around silently, looking at the unlucky student who was cheering him on, and said in a low voice, "Are you serious?"

If this gets out, how many jobs will be needed for this old man?

What's wrong with him just wanting to slack off?

Ying took two steps back, glanced back and forth at Zhongli and Su Ming, and made another note in the little notebook in her heart.

"Of course." Su Ming smiled even more deeply and said, "Trusting the teacher is the most basic quality of a student."

Zhongli's eyes darkened and he turned around to continue appreciating the jade.

Paimon sighed, moved closer to Su Ming, and said in a low voice, "Does the Queen of Winter know that you are so loyal to Zhongli?"

Even if you are loyal to appearance, that is still considered indecisive, right?

Hearing this, Su Ming smiled and said, "You know, but the Queen can't do anything about my bad luck..."

This body of his is a citizen of Solstice and an executive of the Fatui. Everything he does is to protect the interests of Solstice and the Queen.

But his sense of belonging to Liyue is definitely deeper than that of other countries.

and……

Su Ming narrowed his eyes and sighed in his heart, who is not a child raised by Zhongli...

The Rock King will never lose!

"Eh..." Paimeng pursed his lips, patted Su Ming's shoulder, and said, "Su Ming, you are really confident..."

Su Ming: ...

Su Ming turned the ring and said seriously, "Even in the face of bad luck, I have the capital to be confident."

Hearing this, Paimeng was slightly startled, then nodded seriously, "Yes."

Su Ming has both wealth and status, so he can indeed be more confident.

“But…” On the side, Ying frowned slightly and looked at Kunjun with a serious look, “Who is this Kunjun? He seems to know a lot about minerals…”

At this point, Ying turned to look at Su Ming and said, "This kind of person should be very famous in Liyue Harbor. Haven't you heard of him?"

"No." Su Ming didn't even blink, "I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know."

I know it but I won't say it, just waiting for a good opportunity to collect emotion points.

As they were talking, Zhongli and Kunjun's wine tasting had already come to an end.

After some discussion, several people set out to complete the commission.

……

Ying followed Kunjun, looking at him with curiosity. Seeing Kunjun expressing his admiration for the strange stones on the roadside, she couldn't help but ask for advice.

Zhongli's eyes darkened, and he asked softly, "What did you find?"

Su Ming's eyes swept across the enclosed abyss of rock in front of him and he whispered, "What did you find again, sir?"

Hearing this, Zhongli sighed slightly, "You guessed it."

Su Ming: ...

Su Ming rarely felt guilty because he knew the script. He couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose, "I didn't guess it, I didn't know it, I didn't understand it..."

Before he could finish his words, Su Ming met Zhongli's gilded eyes.

Su Ming's heart sank slightly, and his eyes moved down to the golden gem on Zhongli's chest.

His eyes flickered as he said, "It's not that I guessed it, I should have known it."

Zhongli raised his eyebrows slightly and was silent for a moment before speaking, "Compared to Ying, the witness, you are the traveler."

"No." Su Ming shrugged and said, "I'm not here to travel, I'm here to join Teyvat."

The journey has to go on, where is he going?

Xiao Tongzi said if you want to resurrect, then resurrect. You have been burned to ashes.

Even if they are not burned to ashes...they will be burned even more if they are resurrected.

Zhongli was slightly startled, his eyes fell on the ring on Su Ming's index finger, "Don't want to go back?"

I have never seen an outsider who didn't want to leave.

Su Ming looked at Ying's jumping back and forth and said, "There is a big difference between her and me."

Su Ming paused for a moment, then turned to look at Zhongli, his eyes full of seriousness. "Sir, you have known me for a long time, and you know me much better than the Queen does. You can naturally see that I am a native of Teyvat, but inside I have a soul that has traveled across the stars."

Zhongli is not a saint who collects rags. How could he take in an unlucky child and protect him as a student for a few years?

Inexplicable bad luck is one thing, crossing the starry sea is another.

Ying can be considered a time traveler in another sense. She can be sensed by gods, let alone herself.

Zhongli's eyes were deep as he followed the steps of the two people in front of him. "There are many unlucky people in Teyvat, but there is no reason for your bad luck. Do you know that?"

Su Ming sighed and continued to move forward, "I know, it's the one with green light on Xumi..."

Zhongli paused for a moment, and moved his fingers hanging by his side. "Are you talking about the Grass God?"

"No." Su Ming showed a grin that sounded like he was gritting his teeth, and squeezed out a few words from his lips, "I'm talking about the great sage who has changed his appearance."
