Chapter 192
"Among all my children, he is the only one who survived."
Rhinedottir asked with a smile, turning her gaze toward Alice.
Hearing this, Alice was momentarily stunned and quickly declined, saying, "Sorry, I'm already swamped myself; I hardly have the energy to help you look after your son."
"Oh, right, I just remembered; in our previous correspondence, you mentioned taking on an apprentice?"
As soon as Rhinedottir finished speaking, everyone's attention immediately focused on Alice.
"That's right, Alice; you still haven't told us anything about your apprentice."
"Their potential must be extraordinary for you to accept them as a disciple; what about their appearance? Are they cute...?"
"Sigh..." Alice felt a headache coming on from all the questions and rolled her eyes at them: "Look at the questions you're asking; what does whether they're cute or not have to do with anything?"
"Don't even think about targeting my apprentice; he's just a little kid..."
"But come to think of it, it's been about five or six years since I left him to attend to my work."
"I remember he was quite adorable when he was four or five; now he must be around fifteen, sixteen, or maybe seventeen."
"I always feel like kids lose their cuteness once they grow up."
Mentioning Su Bai,
Alice was flooded with memories.
No matter how you look at it, that child was her first apprentice.
"Hey, don't say I didn't warn you, but my apprentice's luck is truly incredible."
"I'm telling you, don't disbelieve it."
Recalling their earlier probing, Alice recounted the story of her first encounter with Su Bai to her circle of witch friends.
Upon hearing this, every witch present displayed expressions of sheer amazement.
"Eh, did something truly that miraculous happen?"
"Yes, nearly freezing to death on Dragonspine, only for a Pyro Gnosis to fall straight from the sky to keep him warm?"
"Obtaining a Vision at the age of four or five is an extremely rare occurrence."
"Hehe, could he be the child of the Heavenly Principles?"
"Shh, you shouldn't speak so recklessly; if 'that person' up above hears this, we'll be in serious trouble."
The more they talked, the more excited the group became.
Barbeloth was so thrilled that she even pulled out her crystal ball.
"Alice, what is your apprentice's name?"
"What for? Are you planning to divine his fortune?" Alice couldn't help but laugh at Barbeloth's overly excited expression.
"He's just someone with a bit of good luck; perhaps his Constellation carries a blessing of fortune."
Dismissing the idea, Alice took a sip of her tea and casually remarked, "Su Bai Lawrence."
"He's actually from the Lawrence clan?" Barbeloth froze in place.
The others immediately chimed in with excitement: "The Lawrence family actually allowed their child to seek out a master?"
Mentioning the Lawrences, Alice said with a touch of melancholy, "Just a wandering orphan bearing the Lawrence name."
"He grew up without even knowing who his parents were."
"Given what you've said, I still feel he might be from up there..." Ivanovna joked, pointing a finger toward the sky.
Barbeloth didn't join the discussion; instead, she immediately began her divination.
The crystal ball before her eyes suddenly lit up brightly.
However, the very next second,
the crystal ball, now chaotic once again, left Barbeloth stunned.
"What is going on?"
The women asked in confusion, "It seems we can't see clearly?"
"Indeed, it's not very clear..."
Barbeloth's frown deepened.
"I can only vaguely see..."
"In the future, he will die because of a woman."
Alice: "!!!"
Barbeloth.
A renowned fortune teller in Teyvat.
Except for matters of great significance that exceed her power,
her divinations usually come true under normal circumstances.
Furina: "What? In this cycle, Su Bai is going to die because of a girl again?"
Jean: "This..."
Lisa: "Could it be that because Eula has always been bullied in Mondstadt, he couldn't stand it and truly followed the path Alice once joked about, standing against Mondstadt?"
Barbeloth: "Don't get too excited yet; my divination might not be accurate, after all, the identity of a Reincarnator is quite special."
Alice: "However, the Su Bai of this cycle doesn't seem to be like previous ones; he appears to have been born in Teyvat using a local's body, so your divination might actually take effect."
Mona: "Then everything would be completely thrown into chaos; if Su Bai sacrificed his life for Eula, all our previous deductions would be overturned."
Charlotte: "Are you referring to the issue concerning Klee's Constellation?"
Charlotte: "Ah! Wouldn't that make things even more thrilling? Su Bai and Miss Alice have a child, yet he stands against Miss Alice for Eula's sake; did the master kill the apprentice?"
Furina: "What? This... If it were just an opera, I'd absolutely applaud, but since it involves Su Bai, I feel it's best if it doesn't turn out that way..."
Buer: "Pfft, Furina is so cute."
Jean: "Sigh..."
Kamisato Ayaka: "I've confused everyone. First, Su Bai abandoned his wife and child, ditched Eula, and threw himself at Jean. Now it's that he abandoned his master and child for Eula, only to be killed by his master in the end."
Sangonomiya Kokomi: "What will it turn into next?"
Fischl: "Su Bai had children with Grand Master Jean, Eula, and Miss Alice, then fell in love with Lisa. The three women, unable to bear it, killed Mr. Su Bai."
·· ······Begging for flowers··· ···
Lisa: "This... Fischl, your idea is even more terrifying..."
Aether: "My brother-in-law is too miserable. When will he break the law of dying every single episode?"
Klee: "Always sacrificing himself for others. When will Mr. Su Bai have it a little easier? At least let us see something sweet."
Lumine: "Sigh, this episode feels a bit better. Although he bears the Lawrence name, his luck is good, and unlike before, he isn't carrying the psychological pressure of hundreds of years every time."
Lumine: "By the way, where has Su Bai gone? Where is he?"
Skirk: "I just saw him jump into the sea with Furina."
Lumine: "Phew, as long as he isn't lost, that's fine."
【"Grand Master Varka..."】
【Knights of Favonius Headquarters.】
【Jean, dressed in knightly attire, came before Varka.】
【The Jean of today has blossomed into a graceful young woman.】
【Two years ago, due to her own excessive effort.】
【She was bestowed the title of Dandelion Knight.】
【Before that, Jean encountered Eula, who was hunting in the wild, during a mission.】
【Although the other party was from the Lawrence family, Jean did not view Eula with prejudice; she simply thought Eula was very powerful and reliable.】
【Incidentally, she introduced her to Varka, causing Eula to join the Knights of Favonius as well.】
【Bestowing upon Eula the title of Swallowtail Knight.】
【"Jean, you have arrived?"】
【After the greeting.】
【Varka immediately said, "I recently heard that a group of Hilichurls with extraordinary martial arts has appeared in Windrise Hills. I need you to handle it."】
【"Hilichurls with extraordinary martial arts?"】
【Jean was stunned.】
【"Uh..."】
【Varka's face darkened. Pretending to be suspicious, he stroked his chin and said, "Perhaps I used the wrong words."】
