Chapter 203

"As long as those two are here, Su Bai will not be greatly affected within Mondstadt City; what are you afraid of?"

"Did I not tell you last time? Perhaps because Su Bai has lived alone outside for so long, he does not have the usual tricks in emotional matters like a normal man."

"Although he is very excellent, can lead a team well, and has high combat talent, in emotional matters, he is like a little lamb."

"If you do not act as this gray wolf, sooner or later you will be eaten by someone else."

Lisa described the relationships within the fairy tale she saw in the library to Jean.

Jean looked at her blankly, not understanding Lisa's meaning.

"Sigh..."

Lisa could only give up in the end, looking up at the outside.

"It is raining; I will return first."

"Think it over carefully yourself."

Yae Miko: "Eh? Is that fake? Is Su Bai really that pure in Mondstadt? Oh my, why didn't I meet him? If he had met me, not even a bone would be left."

Lumine: "You are a fox, not a big bad wolf."

Paimon: "Foxes are even more powerful, Lumine..."

·· ······ Begging for flowers ··· ···

Jean: "What exactly are you two talking about? I am so confused."

The graveyard outside Mondstadt City.

Su Bai stood silently.

Letting the rain fall upon his body.

Alice unusually did not speak, simply standing silently beside Su Bai in the rain before the grave.

She knew very well what was going through Su Bai's mind at this moment.

As the Grand Master of the Stormwind Knights, under any circumstances, the sacrifice of companions by his side was inseparable from him as the Grand Master.

Moreover, among this group were those who had followed him since he first founded the Knights.

It was heard that the female knight among these people was Su Bai's fanatic fan.

In private, she often introduced the benefits of the Stormwind Knights to those around her, how magnificent and handsome the Grand Master was.

It was normal for the newly adult Su Bai, facing the sudden departure of a companion, to be unable to think clearly for a moment.

"Mm..."

Alice suddenly made a sound.

Recalling the confrontation between Varka and herself.

Alice felt that when her disciple faced confusion in life.

It was still necessary for her, his Master, to step forward.

"This girl seems to admire you very much." She pointed to the name on the tombstone.

"I heard she often praised your excellence without any concealment in front of the citizens of Mondstadt."

"Indeed, she was a child of great courage."

"But, being a knight is a profession that exists as a guardian."

"I think they all understand this principle."

"I investigated the list of your Knights before I brought you out."

"It seems this girl's brother, like her, was a knight under your command."

"At the moment he saw his sister's corpse, I think no one was more broken than him."

"But, he still chose to follow you back to Mondstadt, carrying some unknown mood and taste."

"Even when you were taken away and detained, they were all waiting for your return."

"When they learned you were released without guilt, they were more eager than anyone to come see you."

"Among them, naturally including this young girl's brother, he, like the other companions, always believed in you."

"So..."

Alice changed the subject.

Looking at Su Bai with a solemn and serious expression: "Listen well, Grand Master of the Stormwind Knights, Su Bai Lawrence."

"Even if you do not think for yourself, you must think for those who believe in you."

"Your knight companions, those who believed in you when you had problems and rushed about for you: Jean, Eula, and Diluc."

"And also, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Varka."

"So, after tasting the flavor of victory, or the flavor of defeat, after fleeing everywhere and weeping..."

"Only then can you become a man who can stand on his own."

"Even if you weep a flood, it does not matter, but your will must not sink into depression."

"After all, the you of now is no longer that little child wandering alone outside with no goal in life."

The rain continued to fall like this.

Alice said nothing more, simply standing silently beside Su Bai.

Until...

Several sobs reached her ears.

"Mm, Master, I understand..."

A sharp pain struck Alice's heart.

Just as Varka said.

She did not clearly know what Su Bai had experienced all the way to the present.

But for over ten years since he left, Su Bai had lived like a stray child outside the walls of Mondstadt.

Days spent in constant loneliness needed no deep thought to know they were far from good.

A firm will was, in itself, a joke.

If given a choice, who would wish to be so resolute?

Alice couldn't help but recall the first time she met Su Bai, that stubborn, childish little face.

Now, it no longer existed.

The stubborn youth would, one day, grow mature.

Only he himself knew the hardships of that journey.

The rain grew heavier until the view around gradually began to blur.

Dandelion Knight, Jean Gunnhildr.

One hand held an umbrella; in the other, she held an extra one prepared.

She stood quietly in the rain.

Looking at Su Bai Lawrence, who was being held in someone's arms not far away.

Her trembling eyes glanced at the umbrella in her hand.

"Su Bai..."

"Perhaps it is no longer needed."

...... Big.

Chapter 116: Klee, from now on you must call me Honorary Knight Mother

The Knights of Favonius Library.

Lisa watched Jean Gunnhildr, who had locked herself in a room with her head buried between her knees, on the light screen.

She let out a resentful sigh.

But, there was a feeling that everything was under control.

"I told you, Jean..."

"Opportunities vanish in an instant."

Jean's small mouth hung open as she stared in shock: "Alice..."

"She wouldn't really be with Su Bai Lawrence?"

"Matters of the heart are unclear to anyone." Lisa crossed her legs.

"She seems to be of a similar race to Nahida."
