Chapter 160

~7 min read 1,271 words

Alice: "I have the right to suspect that your own purpose is to find someone to handle these troublesome things."

Varka: "..."

Varka: "You can't say it like that. I am also helping him collect the hearts of the people. Why let the bottom-level citizens of Mondstadt join his independent regiment? Isn't it because..."

Enjou: "It's still because they are bottom-level enough that even if they have some prejudice, they don't dare to say it like ordinary citizens. Moreover, they haven't seen the world, so people's hearts are easier to manipulate. This is indeed beneficial to Master Su. If ordinary citizens knew Master Su's identity, they would inevitably sneer."

Tianquan Ningguang: "It's also thinking about giving the bottom-level Mondstadt people a chance to get ahead. Sigh... it's too hard..."

Amber: "My head is about to explode, why can't I understand it?"

Hu Tao: "Freedom... Mondstadt is the City of Freedom, logically shouldn't one be able to do whatever one wants?"

Cloud Retainer: "So, being too free is also very distressing, especially for managers."

Jean: "Grand Master, but according to your method, I'm worried that the spirit of the Knights won't change, but instead someone will go and cause trouble for Su Bai."

Varka: "Then that will have to depend on Su Bai Lawrence himself to handle it."

Jean: "Ah, this..."

Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

Su Bai opened the door and left Varka's office.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Eula waiting for him in the corridor.

"How did your chat with the Grand Master go?"

Eula walked up urgently and asked eagerly: "Did he consider recruiting you into the Knights?"

"If that's the case, if you're worried about being squeezed out by other knights because of your identity, you can come to me first."

"I'll cover for you."

Su Bai just smiled and said: "Let's talk about these things when we eat. Didn't you want to take me around Mondstadt?"

Seeing that Su Bai didn't want to mention it, Eula didn't continue to pursue it.

She shook her shoulders and laughed: "Fine, I'll take you around Mondstadt first. Anyway, in the whole of Mondstadt, there isn't a second person as bold as you who dares to go out for a stroll with me."

Another office of the Knights of Favonius.

By the window, Jean was resting her chin on her hands, looking out the window. What caught her eye was the man and woman walking side by side on the street below.

It wasn't until a sound appeared behind her that her thoughts were interrupted.

"What are you doing?"

Lisa swayed her waist and slowly walked to Jean's side, then followed her gaze to look out the window.

"That is..."

"Eula?"

"Who is the person next to her? Could it be her boyfriend?"

Lisa's beautiful eyes narrowed in surprise: "Her boyfriend is really something, daring to go shopping with her in the City of Mondstadt. Looking at him, he doesn't seem to be from Mondstadt, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Lisa..." Jean looked at Lisa with displeasure.

"That person is named Su Bai Lawrence, he is Lisa's friend, not her boyfriend."

"If you randomly label their relationship like this, if it gets out, it won't be good for either of them."

Lisa was stunned.

A few seconds later, she laughed with a sudden realization.

"Oh, I get it."

"No wonder you've been hiding here and watching for so long."

"You wouldn't have fallen for Eula's boy... oh, no, it should be Eula's friend, right?"

"Ugh!" Jean felt as if her thoughts had been exposed by Lisa and immediately resisted: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I've noticed that ever since you came back from studying abroad in Sumeru, you seem to have some problems."

"I only met him today, the Grand Master asked me to bring him."

"Besides, he is from the Lawrence family, I..."

After the words slipped out.

Jean seemed to regret it and immediately closed her mouth.

The irritability that flashed across her face did not escape Lisa's subtle observation.

"Sigh..."

A long sigh sounded in Jean's ear.

Lisa shook her head and said leisurely: "That's true, after all, you are a Gunnhildr, no matter what, it's impossible to have any entanglement with someone from the Lawrence family."

Lisa: "Poor Jean, it seems she's going to be completely eliminated."

Jean: "..."

Barbara: "Sister?"

Furina: "So what if it's Gunnhildr, so what if it's Lawrence? Mondstadt isn't a free city-state, is love not free either?"

Lumine: "Furina, go play with your pillow, the question you're asking will sting Barbatos."

Venti: "..."

Clorinde: "Sigh, so-called freedom is just a superficial thing."

Yae Miko: "Doesn't Fontaine's justice also have big problems?"

Neuvillette: "That's not right. Precisely because there must be a trial, there must be evidence. Once the evidence is conclusive, regardless of status or position, as long as one is convicted, one must be sent to the Fortress of Meropide. It's just a pity that perhaps some people have done things that make others hate them to the bone, wishing they could be sentenced to death, but unfortunately, Fontaine has no death penalty, only indefinite imprisonment, which makes people feel that it is too lenient toward evil people."

Neuvillette: "But we in Fontaine have always followed the rule of law established by Fontaine."

Consultant Zhongli: "Our Liyue's contract spirit..."

Venti: "Ehe?"

Dvalin: "Help, Barbatos has gone crazy from drinking."

Su Bai and Eula, wherever they went, there were whispers behind them.

"Who is this young man?"

"Is he from Liyue?"

"The young man is so handsome and upright, why did he walk together with a woman from the Lawrence family?"

"What a pity, he must have been deceived by the evil woman of the Lawrence family."

"I guess so too. This Eula can become a knight, she must have become a squad captain through improper means."

"..."

This time, Su Bai truly experienced the terribleness of the Mondstadt citizens.

Their verbal abuse toward Eula exceeded Su Bai's imagination.

"Phew..."

"I'm really done with this group of people."

Eula barely raised her head and smiled at Su Bai: "It's a good thing I don't come back to Mondstadt often."

"Otherwise, my notebook wouldn't be able to record it all."

Hearing this, Su Bai nodded repeatedly.

The next second, he deliberately raised his voice and said: "Sigh..."

"Then will I, Su Bai Lawrence, have to suffer such treatment in Mondstadt in the future?"

When Eula heard this, she immediately said anxiously: "Are... are you an idiot..."

"If you don't say you're a Lawrence, who would know you're a Lawrence?"

"It will be known sooner or later, what's there to worry about." Su Bai argued reasonably.

The conversation between the two reached the ears of the surrounding Mondstadt citizens, causing an uproar.

"What, this guy is also a Lawrence?"

"Damn it, no wonder he's so close to Eula."

"Wait, don't the people of the Lawrence family also hate Eula? What's going on with this guy?"

"Who knows? Anyway, when Lawrence people get together, nothing good ever happens."

"Let's go, let's keep shopping." Su Bai didn't care at all about the surprise and finger-pointing of the people around him and naturally took Eula's hand and walked into the distance.

Yoimiya: "Hmm, it feels a bit sweet."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Su Bai concentrated the fire of the Mondstadt citizens on himself, helping Eula get out of trouble. So sweet."

Arataki Itto: "I feel like the Mondstadt citizens have a face that needs a beating. They only know how to point fingers behind people's backs. Since they hate the Lawrences, then just make the Lawrences disappear from their sight."
