["How should I put it?"]

[Varka paced back and forth a few times: "It's rumored that he can dig traps, and his intelligence seems to be above that of ordinary Hilichurls."]

["Ordinary knights have suffered greatly at his hands, so I want to send you personally to handle it this time."]

["By the way, I have also arranged for Eula to wait for you outside the City of Mondstadt."]

["Eula!" Jean's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Even Eula has to go along? It seems the matter is truly tricky."]

["What, do you lack confidence?" Varka asked.]

["No, I guarantee I will complete the mission assigned by the Acting Grand Master."]

["Hahaha, that's more like a knight of the Knights of Favonius. Go, Jean, and stay safe."]

Enjou: "Hilichurls that can dig traps?"

Aether: "Enjou, can't Hilichurls dig traps?"

Dainsleif: "That's just an excuse. The Hilichurl Varka is referring to, I suspect 99% is Su Bai."]

Charlotte: "It's here, it's here. They have all grown up, and they are meeting under the manipulation of Acting Grand Master Varka. Male lead, female leads one, two, and three have finally gathered."]

Navia: "(Covers face) Charlotte, are you about to say that we'll just have to see who Su Bai will sacrifice himself for next?"]

Charlotte: "Hey, don't steal my lines."]

Alice: "I understand now. The Acting Grand Master must have been secretly watching Su Bai's movements these past few years. He felt the time was ripe, so he let Jean make contact with Su Bai first."]

Barbeloth: "Because Jean is upright and already has the precedent of bringing Eula into the Knights, the Acting Grand Master ordered Jean to contact Su Bai first, and also had Eula, who is also of the Lawrence clan, follow along."]

Tartaglia: "Whoa, is the Acting Grand Master so meticulous?"]

Varka: "Cough, cough, when judging a person, one cannot judge them solely by their appearance and physique."]

Yae Miko: "Has the curtain risen on Su Bai's love-hate entanglements in Mondstadt?"]

Buer: "It's still unclear what Alice thinks after hearing that Su Bai will die because of a person of the opposite sex. If she cares about Su Bai as an apprentice, I'm afraid she'll come back to stop him from interacting with girls."]

Cloud Retainer: "A master stopping an apprentice from dating? This plot has that flavor."]

Hu Tao: "True Monarch, if one day Ganyu and Seeing Shenhe were to date, what would you do?"]

Ganyu: "Eh?"]

Seeing Shenhe: "Ah?"]

Paimon: "If you want to date Cloud Retainer's apprentice, you must first kowtow to that woman a few times, otherwise you're afraid you'll suffer greatly."]

Cloud Retainer: "You little thing, which woman are you pointing at?"]

Tianquan Ningguang: "So, even if Mr. Su Bai were to end up in our Liyue, if he were to date either Seeing Shenhe or Ganyu, he would have to pass the True Monarch's test first."]

Cloud Retainer: "Hmph! I will absolutely not allow anyone who disrespects the Immortal Master to touch Ganyu or Seeing Shenhe."

Chapter 111: Those years, the simplicity between Eula and Su Bai

[In the grass.]

[Two pairs of beautiful eyes gazed at the Hilichurl tribe not far away.]

[Jean and Eula discovered that a Hilichurl, who looked extremely ordinary, seemed to be directing other Hilichurls to transport supplies.]

[Without needing to think, it was clear that these were the supplies of the Mondstadt merchant caravan that had been robbed earlier.]

Venti: "Wait, that ordinary Hilichurl capable of commanding a Hilichurl Berserker must be Su Bai."]

Dvalin: "It looks like it. Otherwise, how could an ordinary Hilichurl command a Hilichurl Berserker?"]

Kaeya: "If based solely on combat power, Su Bai could indeed suppress all the Hilichurls, but what's eerie is that there was no hindrance in their communication?"]

Alhaitham: "Don't forget, Mr. Su Bai has mastered many languages during his reincarnations."]

Diluc: "I remember he tried to communicate with Hilichurls during the first cycle. Could it be that he learned it in this reincarnation?"]

Furina: "Hahaha, Su Bai robbed Mondstadt's supplies, yay."]

Neuvillette: "This statement is the personal opinion of Ms. Furina and has nothing to do with Fontaine. (Covers face)"]

Arataki Itto: "Hahaha, he was beaten once for bread, and now he's robbed a whole cart of supplies?"]

Enjou: "Lord Su is mighty."]

Venti: "Hey, you all saw it. Ever since Old Su was bullied the first time he entered Mondstadt, he never went to Mondstadt again. Instead, he robbed Mondstadt's supplies; can we call it even now?"]

Navia: "No, Su Bai was ostracized when he was four or five years old. It was his young heart that was hurt, which affected everything that followed. A mere cart of supplies cannot settle the debt."]

Venti: "@Lumine, can the person in charge come out for a moment?"]

Lumine: "@Su Bai, can the person in charge come out for a moment?"]

Lumine: "Sorry, Venti, Big Boss Su Bai doesn't know what he's busy with. He might be temporarily focused only on exploring the "590" deep-sea world with Focalors and has blocked messages."]

Venti: "....."]

["It's really strange."]

["That Hilichurl looks no different from an ordinary Hilichurl, yet it can command a Hilichurl Berserker."]

[Eula shook her head, supporting her forehead.]

["I've never discovered such a strange phenomenon."]

["This should be the Hilichurl with intelligence above that of ordinary Hilichurls that the Acting Grand Master mentioned," Jean said with a solemn expression.]

[While talking with Eula.]

[She had already explored the general situation of the entire Hilichurl tribe.]

[This Hilichurl tribe was not very large.]

[Including that strange Hilichurl, the total number was only around eight.]

[Plus one Hilichurl Berserker.]

["I just don't know how much combat power that Hilichurl, who looks slightly more intelligent, has."]

["But I think with your level, you alone are enough to clear out this tribe in an instant."]

[Jean looked at Eula with a smile.]

[Eula shrugged her shoulders, unable to deny Jean's point.]

[She added: "Aren't you the same? Otherwise, Acting Grand Master Varka wouldn't have sent only the two of us."]

["I suppose he knew there was no need to bring a team, and the main purpose should be to capture that strange Hilichurl and bring it back to Mondstadt."]

["Of course, there's also..." Jean patted Eula's shoulder: "The Acting Grand Master wants to let you have the credit."]

[Eula didn't say much.]

[She understood what Jean meant.]

[Whether it was Jean or Acting Grand Master Varka, they would always find opportunities for her to perform meritorious deeds.]

[Trying to change the Mondstadt citizens' view of her Lawrence identity.]

[However, even so, the effect was still not very good.]

[But being able to become a knight was also Eula's ideal.]

[This was the path she chose herself, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.]

[Thinking of this.]

[Eula's affectionate eyes trembled a few times.]

[In her mind, the young boy she had once instilled with the same dream appeared.]

[She hadn't seen him since that day.]

[Perhaps after that night, Su Bai Lawrence had already died outside the City of Mondstadt.]

["I understand. I will instantly clear out the other Hilichurls."]

["You seize the opportunity to use Anemo power to control that special one, and we will bring him back together."]

[Eula's gaze suddenly became firm.]

[Even if she were alone, she would carry this knight's path through to the end.]

["Let's go, Jean."]

["Alright, operation start."]

[Eula and Jean looked at each other.]

[As their words fell.]

[Eula flashed and leaped into the Hilichurl tribe.]

["Yaya, ika."]

[The figure suddenly landing in the tribe startled the Hilichurls.]

[By the time they reacted, they shouted simultaneously and charged toward Eula as a group.]
