Chapter 180

Jean: "Lumine, stop talking nonsense."

Eula: "Lumine, I've noticed that ever since you got together with Su Bai, you've changed."

Alice: "So, does this mean the task of giving birth this time has been assigned to Jean?"

Yae Miko: "Can't you see? The plot development is that Su Bai and Eula have a child, then Su Bai joins Jean's family as a matrilocal son-in-law to become the Grand Master of the Knights. I recall the Guinshild family, the family of the Acting Grand Master of Mondstadt, holds a high status in Mondstadt."

Ningguang: "Moreover, Jean's father is the Archbishop of the Favonius Church, with power and status extremely high."

Jean: "Hey, why do you two sound like Fatui intelligence agents?"

Diluc: "Such common knowledge seemingly doesn't require special intelligence gathering."

Eula: "Hehehe, so that's how things were in the previous life. Acting Grand Master Jean, draw your sword."

Jean: "Wait a minute, aren't you being led astray by Lumine?"

【"Hey, you kids..."】

【Unable to stand the arrogant, boisterous laughter of the brats.】

【Su Bai rushed out at the forefront.】

【He placed Jean behind him.】

【"Several people bullying a single girl, don't you feel ashamed?"】

【"Truly a group of people without any knightly spirit."】

【This fellow is...】

【The few children were instantly stunned by the momentum radiating from Su Bai.】

【Seeing the other party's frail appearance, plus their own side's overwhelming numbers.】

【Someone still gathered the courage to ask: "Who are you? Why meddle in others' business?"】

【"I am..."】

【Before the words left his mouth, Su Bai remembered the previous commotion and immediately changed the subject.】

【Pointing at them, he said: "Hurry and return the kite in your hands to her."】

【But, his uncooperative stomach instantly betrayed him.】

【"Gurgle"】

【The growling sound from his stomach immediately suppressed the momentum Su Bai had raised.】

【After a moment of awkwardness in the scene, waves of mockery immediately rang out.】

【"Pfft, you scared me just now."】

【"Exactly, I thought you were some powerful guy from somewhere, turns out you're just a beggar who can't even get enough to eat."】

【"Truly made me die of fright, hmph..."】

【"Meddler, beat him up..."】

【The scene instantly lost control.】

【Su Bai was not cowardly; seeing the few about to attack, he likewise rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight to the death.】

【However, just as both sides were about to engage in a fierce fight, a clear shout stopped the chaos on the scene.】

【They saw a youth with a head of red hair and full of noble air, leaning against a tree with arms crossed, speaking coldly: "Stop."】

【At the same time the voice sounded, the several youths seemed to hear some terrible sound.】

【Trembling, they turned their heads to look: "It's... it's Diluc..."】

【Diluc stared at the few, frightening them into not daring to move a muscle.】

【"Why don't you hurry and return the kite to her? Don't you know who she is?"】

【"She is a member of the Guinshild family; her father is our Archbishop of the Favonius Church."】

【What!】

【Upon these words being spoken.】

【The few instantly stood stunned in place.】

【After a few breaths, they returned the kite to Jean while crying and begging, then ran away in terror, their pants wet with fear.】

【"You should leave here quickly too."】

【Diluc did not pay attention to Su Bai, who was in a state of confusion.】

【He walked to his side and said: "I saw what happened to you on the street just now."】

【"As a member of the Lawrence family, you had best not get involved with others, otherwise you will bring trouble to other people."】

Chapter 105: Eula: Listen to me, it's absolutely not wrong, Su Bai Lawrence

Will the citizens of Mondstadt City be scared away by the name of Guinshild?

After Venti overthrew the nobles and founded the Knights, the noble status in Mondstadt plummeted.

Ordinary subjects rose to become masters of their own fate.

However, the Guinshild family, as a knightly family, was the exception.

From an administrative perspective.

The main administrative power of Mondstadt City still remains in the hands of the Knights.

The status of the Church, representing divine authority, is not even equal to that of the Favonius Knights, representing the knightly identity.

Jean's father, the adventurer Simon Pearce whose name is known across the continent, came to Mondstadt and fell in love with her mother, Frederica Guinshild.

After marriage, Jean's father Simon Pearce gradually joined the Favonius Church.

Becoming the final Archbishop.

Later, although the two divorced, Jean still relied on her personal efforts plus the bloodline of the Guinshild family to hold an important role in the Favonius Knights.

Her younger sister Barbara followed her father Simon Pearce into the Favonius Church.

Though the nobility has been overthrown, the status of the Good-Hunter family in Mondstadt remains unshakable by ordinary people.

The livestream room.

Kaeya: "Our Diluc grandpa barged in and scared off that bunch of kids with just one sentence."

Yuanshang: "And he arrogantly told Su Ye that his meddling would bring bad influence to others, taking the rare chance to thoroughly show off while Su Ye was still young and weak."

Diluc: "Come on, I looked about four or five back then; who understood anything at that age?"

Navia: "I think you understand very well, bringing up Jean's family background right from the start and scaring that bunch of brats into a panicked flight."

Jean: "No, please do not say that; this matter has nothing to do with the Good-Hunters."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Then it must be Father's title of Grand Bishop that intimidated those children."

Barbara: "Not at all; Mondstadt is a free city-state. Everything we do is to serve the citizens; how could we possibly use family background to pressure Mondstadt's citizens?"

Tianquan Ningguang: "Perhaps you hold no such thoughts, but in the human subconscious, people always feel fear toward those of higher status."

Tianquan Ningguang: "Nowhere can class issues be truly eliminated; they merely take other forms. After all, even animal groups have hierarchical structures, let alone us humans."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Sigh, where is there any so-called true freedom?"

Venti: "....."

Paimon: "Mondstadt really does have it. There, if someone loses a cat, they ask Jean to find it, and Jean actually goes to look."

Arataki Itto: "What does that have to do with freedom? This is probably just Mondstadt people being lazy, leaving even the tiniest matters to the Knights of Favonius?"

Jean: "Ahem, if you say that, I cannot pretend not to see it."

Kujou Sara: "Help, boss, say a little less."

Su Bai: "As expected of Jean, the Grand Master; your heart is full of the knightly spirit."

Eula: "Hmph."

【Su Bai had just stepped into Mondstadt.】

【Just two incidents made him realize the terror of the Lawrence clan.】

【Not only would one face ostracism from the people of Mondstadt.】

【Even if one wanted to help others, they would worry that associating with the Lawrence clan would invite criticism.】

【At dusk.】

【Su Bai found a deserted spot and sat down quietly.】

【Starving, he felt that life had barely taken its first step before it was about to end.】

【"Looks like I can only leave Mondstadt and pick some wild fruits to stave off hunger."】

【Su Bai wrinkled his nose.】
