"You should know that in Liyue, disrespecting a Celestial Master is a serious crime."
Qin was speechless at Su Bai's words. Thinking that Su Bai had not pursued the Knights' responsibility in the previous times, Qin felt a little ashamed. Because she had been too busy lately, she had actually forgotten about the compensation issue after Kaiya brought it up with her. She was really negligent.
"I apologize, Lord Su Bai. Our Knights will compensate you for the previous misunderstandings. We will also give you an explanation for today's matter."
"No need for explanations. I just want to find out which brat is so bold as to smash up my house."
Su Bai did not back down an inch in front of Qin, who fell silent for a moment. She was not the kind of person who would use force, and with Su Bai's status as a celestial being, she could not possibly use force, otherwise Mondstadt and Liyue would definitely have clashed.
“Alright, Your Excellency Su Bai, I hope you can promise not to slaughter the Lawrence family. If the Lawrence family is wiped out, it will be difficult for me to explain to the people.”
"As for that person who disrespected the Immortal Master, Lord Su Bai can deal with him however he wishes."
After some thought, Qin still chose to back down, and Su Bai was not an ungrateful person.
As an immortal, he still had to consider the relationship between Liyue and Mondstadt. Since Jean had backed down, he decided to accept the situation and stop while he was ahead.
"Okay, I just want to teach the person who wrecked my house a lesson."
Su Bai's fox-like eyes turned to Schubert. He knew without guessing that this guy was behind it. Schubert was also sweating profusely. He hadn't expected that the piano would actually give in.
"Jin, how can you, as the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, yield to outsiders?"
"Heh, you only thought of her as the acting commander when you were in danger, huh? Why didn't you think of that before?" Jean ignored Schubert's words. This cancer that was harming Mondstadt was dead, so she wouldn't say anything more.
"You, you, you, don't come near me, no, I didn't do it."
The ever-approaching Su Bai put immense pressure on Schubert, and Su Bai's hand, imbued with divine power, caused Schubert a pain that seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul.
That's right, Su Bai planned to turn Schubert into a living dead who could only breathe. After all, True Monarch Liuyun had taught him not to increase killing, and such a living dead should not be considered killing. Alas, he was indeed a kind person.
“I smashed your house, it has nothing to do with Mr. Schubert, you may kill me.”
Just as Su Bai was about to make Schubert experience the pain of having his soul torn from his body, one of the guards lying on the ground suddenly spoke up and took the blame for the matter.
"Yes, yes, it's him, it's him. I don't know anything, he did it all. Kill him, kill him, it has nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing that someone had taken on the matter, Schubert immediately nodded to indicate that it had nothing to do with him, while simultaneously nudging the guard as if to say something.
The guard's expression was unusually resolute. Qin raised her hand as if to say something, but had to lower it because of her status.
"You're quite the man, aren't you? For someone like you to be willing to be a dog, it seems this old guy named Schubert has some tricks up his sleeve."
Su Bai didn't do anything to the guard. Instead, he dispersed the immortal power in his hand, pulled off the Eye of God from the guard's waist, and played with it in his hand. At the same time, he seemed to be giving the guard a reminder unintentionally.
"However, sometimes people need to use their brains more and think about why, otherwise their brains can easily become rusty."
"Very good, it's exactly as I planned," Su Bai thought to himself with delight. As long as things went according to plan, he could not only secure benefits for the people of Liyue but also make the Lawrence surname disappear. It was a win-win situation.
"Commander Qin, I've given you face today. As an immortal, I also want to fight for some benefits for the people of Liyue. So, Commander Qin should already know what I'm talking about."
The Knights of Favonius behind the lyre felt a pang of disappointment upon seeing that Schubert was not dead. To appease Su Bai, the lyre had no choice but to go to great lengths.
"Within three years, the trade tax of Liyue caravans will be reduced by 10%, and the cost of applying for Favonius Knight protection for Liyue caravans in Mondstadt will be reduced by 50%."
"Deal. It seems that Commander Qin is not only strong but also exceptionally generous. So today I will not kill any members of the Lawrence family."
Su Bai played with the Eye of God in his hand, then disappeared into the Lawrence clan's territory without looking back. Qin glanced at the mess of the Lawrence clan's territory, gave a word of advice to herself, and left as well.
With Jean's departure, the Knights of Favonius were even more disappointed. They thought they would wipe out the Lawrence clan today, but they didn't expect that the immortal named Su Bai would give up this good opportunity for the benefit of the Liyue people. It seems that this cancer will continue to stay in Mondstadt, which is really annoying.
Once the Knights of the West had left the Lawrence territory, Su Bai, who was watching from a high vantage point, chuckled and activated the array that had enveloped the Lawrence territory. The imperceptible fluctuations of immortal energy directly altered the thoughts of all the men in the Lawrence clan.
"Tsk tsk, I wonder what Yura would think if she knew that from now on all the men of the Lawrence clan would only like men and would vomit if they touched women."
"But they brought this on themselves. They tried to kidnap me and disrespected the immortal master. They can't blame me for this outcome."
"Sigh, what bad intentions could a little fox like me have? I just hold grudges a little, don't you think, Barbatos?"
"What did Yura say again? I'll remember this grudge."
Wendy, who had emptied the Lawrence family's wine cellar, was somewhat frightened after hearing Su Bai's words. When did this little guy Su Bai learn to stab people with a cold knife?
It's chilling that someone could make the Lawrence name disappear decades later without a word or bloodshed, and still not be traced back to him. I wonder if Mr. Morax knows that Little White has been led astray by that pink-haired fox.
"Luckily, Xiaobai is only ruthless to his enemies. If I just lend him the Heart of God, he shouldn't hold a grudge against me, right? He should, right?"
(There will be a preview live stream tomorrow night at 8 PM. Don't forget, it's March 18th at 8 PM! March 18th at 8 PM! March 18th at 8 PM! I'm saying it three times because it's important.)
Chapter 41 The Temperamental Firefly
Inside the Angel's Gift, Su Bai was sullenly drinking the cocktail Diluc had personally concocted. Although he had avenged himself, where he would stay tonight was a problem; a dignified immortal like him couldn't very well sleep on the streets.
"Su Bai, if you don't have a place to stay, you can stay at the Angel's Gift. I think the Knights will give you compensation tomorrow."
Diluc poured himself a glass of grape juice, then pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Su Bai. Su Bai raised an eyebrow; it was indeed a good choice, but after thinking about it for a while, he dismissed the idea. He didn't want to wake up smelling of alcohol.
"Diluc, wouldn't you like a drink?"
"No, the Abyss Order has issued me a challenge tonight. I'll just have a glass of grape juice with you."
"No wonder everyone in the tavern is from your Dawn Winery. What, someone came to test us today?"
Diluc nodded. He never left any loopholes or weaknesses in his actions. His identity as a Night Hero could not be discovered by the Knights of Favonius yet, otherwise, trouble would entangle him again, and he hated trouble.
"Okay, do you need any help? I've got nothing else to do anyway."
"No need for that. A bunch of monsters can't cause any trouble."
Diluc was quite confident in his strength. Seeing that Diluc had said so, Su Bai didn't say anything. Diluc's strength was indeed quite good.
"By the way, Su Bai, according to the information I gathered from the people I planted in the Knights, Yura and Yanfei are just ordinary friends. Yura probably won't mention your misunderstanding to Yanfei."
Su Bai narrowed his fox-like eyes. Damn it, he finally realized what he had felt was wrong back then. Who would publicize the robbing of their grave? This scoundrel Kaiya actually tried to fool him.
Su Bai's thoughts instantly cleared. He never expected that he would almost be fooled by an ordinary person. Although he was almost fooled, it's not bad to have a friend like Youra.
However, it seems that Kaiya is also a bit disrespectful to the Immortal Master. In addition, last time he asked me in front of him where he could find white fox fur so he could make an eye patch. Now I have a reason to teach Kaiya a lesson.
"Thank you, Diluc. So that explains why Kaeya suddenly brought up Yanfei."
"It's nothing. I have a feeling that Kaiya will receive a gift from an angel tonight. Your going to cause trouble for him is actually helping me out."
Sometimes a man's intuition is very accurate. Having just finished his work, Kaiya couldn't wait to head to the tavern. He didn't want to miss the show that night.
"Anyway, thank you very much. Here, take this amulet. I made it myself. It will automatically create a lightning element shield when you encounter danger."
Su Bai slapped a talisman glowing with purple light onto the counter, and Diluc didn't stand on ceremony and put it directly into his pocket. Such a life-saving item was a rare find.
"By the way, Diluc, could you help me find out about those members of the Lawrence family who have the Eye of God as their protectors? I have a feeling there's something fishy about it."
"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye out."
Having just received Diluc's reply, Su Bai opened the tavern door. Before he could react, Paimon bumped into Su Bai's head with a thud, sending Paimon tumbling several times in mid-air.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Little Paimon, what's wrong with you? Did you eat Ying's food again?"
Su Bai rubbed his reddened forehead. He had been careless and hadn't dodged. He never expected that he, Su Bai, would be ambushed by Paimon. This was a disgrace.
"Su Bai, you're still drinking here? Come with me right now, someone's smashed up my house!"
When Paimon saw that the person who bumped into her was Su Bai, she ignored the bump on her head, grabbed Su Bai's arm, and tried to drag him away. She seemed even more anxious than Su Bai.
"Alright, alright, Paimon, I know everything you've said."
"Huh? You knew all along?"
Paimon didn't quite understand what Su Bai meant. At that moment, Ying also came out from around the corner with her sword. Since she wasn't as fast as Paimon, Ying told Paimon to go ahead and tell Su Bai what had happened.
"Su Bai, do you know who did this? Come on, I'll go with you and chop that guy up. Damn it, daring to smash my house, he's got a death wish."
Ying was even more irritable than Su Bai had imagined. She swung her flying sword so fast that it left afterimages. Paimon was also waving his little fists, looking like he was about to cause trouble, but he looked particularly comical because of the big bump on his head.
"Alright, alright, I already know who did it."
Su Bai took out a special liniment for bruises and sprains from the space of the Eye of God and stuffed it into Ying's arms, indicating that Ying should apply it to Paimon. Paimon also felt that his little head was still quite painful. He stretched out his little arm to touch the bump on his head, but because his arm was too short, he could not reach the top of his head and could only look at Ying with teary eyes.
"Ying, you and Paimon will spend the night in Angel's Gift. I have some errands to run tonight."
"Su Bai, do you need my help?"
Seeing that Su Bai seemed very angry, Ying assumed it was because his house had been vandalized. The thought of losing her free place to live made Ying just as angry as Su Bai. So when Ying heard that Su Bai was going out to run errands, she assumed that Su Bai was going to find the bastard who vandalized the house.
"I'll let it go this time. I remember you were going to help Diluc, right? Hurry up and go, or you'll be late."
Su Bai didn't want Ying to know that he planned to mess with Kaiya. Su Bai felt it was necessary to maintain his image in his friends' eyes.
Ying felt a little regretful thinking about how she had indeed promised Diluc to help out that night, but Paimon wasn't about to let the person who had ruined her bed get away with it so easily. She waved her little fists and said in a cute but fierce way.
"Su Bai, we must give that guy a good beating and make our sect furious."
Ying, seemingly lost in thought, pulled out a few hook-shaped fruits from her pocket and handed them to Su Bai. Su Bai, who had never seen such fruits before, curiously touched the small barbs on the fruits. The barbs weren't very sharp, but they were quite interesting.
"Su Bai, you must teach that bastard a lesson, and make sure he learns his lesson! This fruit can stop bleeding, so stop the bleeding for him after you beat him up, just in time to prevent him from dying."
Su Bai's lips twitched. Goodness, he didn't expect Ying to be such a ruthless character. After exchanging a few words, the two, who were not on the same wavelength, were about to say goodbye to Ying with a trembling heart. Ying was too terrifying. He just wanted to mess with Kaiya, but Ying wanted to break Kaiya's third leg. My god, that's too cruel.
Chapter 42 Ghostly Encounter
"Excuse me, gentlemen, is this an attack you intend to retaliate against?"
Hoffman, the seasoned Knight of Favonius, could hardly believe his ears. The honorary knight and the Liyue Immortal were actually discussing revenge in public, which put him in a difficult position as the Knight of Favonius.
"I guess I'm just not cut out for this tavern. Ying, I'll be going now. You explain things to this Knight of Favonius. I don't want to go back to solitary confinement."
Su Bai waved to Ying and Paimon and then ran away. Of course, he didn't forget to leave a backup plan for Hoffman. If Hoffman wanted to arrest Ying, then Hoffman would have to be in a bad mood and be unconscious for a while.
Aside from the angel's gift, Hoffman, looking conflicted, and Ying, racking her brains for a suitable excuse, exchanged a glance and tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened.
"Haha, Knight of Honor, it was a bit windy just now. What were you guys talking about?"
“Mr. Hoffman, we were just discussing what to drink later, nothing serious. You can continue with your work.”
Sparkle and Hoffman were joking around, and Paimon was nodding in agreement. Paimon, who didn't want to be put in solitary confinement, was also covering for Sparkle.
"Yes, yes, Ying and I were just discussing what juice we should drink later. We didn't talk about any retaliation or beating someone up in a sack. Mr. Hoffman must have misheard."
Ying's face stiffened, and she helplessly rubbed her forehead. That idiot Paimon! She confessed everything without even being asked. How could she have agreed to let Paimon be her travel companion? She's such a worry.
At this moment, Paimon was unaware that he had already said everything he needed to say, and a very guilty smile was still on his face. Hoffman was also having a headache. If he put these two favorites of the harpist in the solitary confinement room, his job as a knight would probably be over. What could he do but continue to play dumb?
"Oh, I must have misheard you. Would you two like to come in for a drink? The wine at Angel's Gift is one of the best in Mondstadt. If I didn't have a mission today, I would definitely drink to my heart's content."
