Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Su Bai was spouting nonsense with a straight face. Anyway, Kaeya wasn't from Liyue, so no matter how much he talked, Kaeya wouldn't know if it was right or wrong. He could only let Su Bai fool him.

"Let's go in. It's noon now. Let me see how the food is at your Mondstadt orphanage."

"Then you should take a good look, Lord Su Bai. Our Knights of Favonius give the orphanage a subsidy every month, so the food is definitely not bad. Perhaps your food here is even better than what you eat here."

Knowing the solution, Kaiya was visibly more relaxed and even cracked a little joke with Su Bai. Su Bai, however, just smiled and didn't take it to heart. He couldn't smell any aroma around him. If the food was really good, his nose would definitely be able to smell it.

Pushing open the orphanage gate, Su Bai was greeted by the children's innocent smiles. These genuine smiles seemed entirely real, and even Su Bai, a wise and discerning immortal, felt a pang of doubt. Had he really guessed wrong? Were these children really eating something delicious? But why did it taste so bland?

Kaiya also noticed something strange at this point. Logically speaking, a stove for cooking for multiple people should have at least two pots working at the same time, but there was only one pot with firewood burning at the bottom.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, are we not having porridge and having rice for lunch today?"

"Yes, rice. I heard that a Liyue immortal reduced the cost of rice by 10%, and some kind-hearted merchants in Liyue lowered the price of rice. The children will be able to eat white rice every day from now on."

"Yay! Time to eat rice!"

An elderly man with gray hair was smiling as he added firewood to the stove. The children sat obediently around him, greedily inhaling the aroma in the air. Their eyes sparkled with joy and anticipation, and some of the younger children couldn't help but drool.

"Tsk, Kaeya, when did rice become considered a good meal in Mondstadt?"

Su Bai's words made Kaiya feel a little ashamed, but more confused. He knew the exact amount of the subsidy that the Knights of Favonius gave to the orphanage. When averaged out, it was enough for each child to have a meat meal a day. How could the lunch today be so meager?

"That shouldn't be the case. The subsidies are always delivered by Commander Qin herself. They shouldn't be eating such poor food."

"Grandpa, someone's here. Is it those bad uncles who want our Mora?"

Su Bai and Kaiya at the orphanage gate didn't lower their voices, and they were quickly spotted by a little girl who nervously tugged at the old man's clothes.

The old man, who had been smiling, immediately became wary upon seeing Kaiya. He shielded the children behind him, and the children's glimpse of the old man's imposing figure contrasted sharply with Su Bai's view of his helpless pleading.

A flicker of anger flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes, but for the sake of the child behind him, he bent down and put on a humble smile.

"My lords, didn't old man Mora already pay this month's taxes?"

“Sir, we are not here to ask for Mora, we are here to donate Mora.”

Chapter 45 Rosalia's Actions

The word "donation" made the old man stand there stunned. He could hardly believe his ears. Since he retired from the army, he had been taking care of the children in this orphanage for five or six years, and this was the first time he had ever heard the word "donation" in all these years.

Su Bai gave Kaiya a look that urged him to quickly take out the Mora. Although Kaiya had a thousand doubts in his heart, he still obediently took out a bag of Mora and handed it to the old man. Regardless of whether he was haunted by a ghost or not, he would give this bag of Mora to the old man, after all, these children were the future of Mondstadt.

The old man accepted the money bag from Kaiya with trembling hands. Although there might not be much Mora inside, the sentiment it represented brought tears to the eyes of this respectable old man.

"Lord Barbatos, it turns out there really are people in this world who remember us. On behalf of the children, I thank you."

The old man was so excited that he bent down to bow to Su Bai and Kaiya. Faced with such a respectable old man, Su Bai and Kaiya dared not accept his bow. They hurriedly helped him up.

"Grandpa, aren't you trying to shorten our lifespan? If you really want to thank us, just let these children grow up healthy."

"Don't worry, young man, I will definitely follow Lord Barbatos's guidance and ensure that the children grow up healthy."

Whether it was Kaiya's donation that gave the old man confidence or the rekindling of his faith in Barbatos, the old man's eyes have become much brighter now.

"Grandpa, the rice looks ready to eat."

A little girl swallowed hard and tugged at the old man's sleeve. The old man slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about the children while busy thanking the two guests.

"Hey, my brain isn't working as well as it used to. Please have a seat, I'll go get some rice for you and the children."

All afternoon, Su Bai and Kaiya stayed at the orphanage, chatting with the elderly and children. The children were also very interested in Su Bai's two big, fluffy tails. Some of the bolder children even reached out to touch them, but were glared at fiercely by the elderly.

During this time, no matter how Su Bai and Kaiya tried to get information out of the old man, he refused to say who had taken the relief money. Su Bai and Kaiya knew that this was the old man protecting them, but even when they presented the Eye of God to the old man, he still didn't budge.

During this time, Kaiya wanted to reveal his identity directly, but he felt that this matter might be the work of someone inside the Knights Order. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Kaiya could only reluctantly keep it a secret.

Under the setting sun, Su Bai and Kaiya walked heavily down the street after saying goodbye to the children. When Su Bai was at the orphanage, he used the excuse of hugging the children to check their bone age.

He found it hard to believe that the teenagers here were shorter than the average eight or nine-year-old. Sigh, indeed, not every country's leader is Ningguang.

"Lord Su Bai, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I need to discuss this matter with Commander Qin. We can talk again when we have the chance."

Kaiya's face no longer held its usual ease. This matter might lead to a change in power within the Knights Order. He used to always avoid such things, but now this kind of thing had come knocking on his door.

Once Kaiya had completely disappeared around the corner of the street, Su Bai looked into the shadows of the building behind him, where a familiar aura lingered.

"Sister, you've been watching all afternoon, aren't you going to come out?"

"I didn't expect you to be able to find me. It seems that you, this immortal, do have some strength."

From the shadows, Rosalia slowly emerged, toying with a small knife. Her dead fish eyes, comparable to Diluc's, stared blankly at Su Bai.

"You asked me all afternoon and didn't get any key information, and you made me work overtime all afternoon. You're really terrible."

"You can't say that. At least now it's almost certain that there are traitors within the Knights."

"I know that. Next time you find out, tell me sooner. Standing on a tree all the time is very tiring."

Rosalia complained that if she had known Su Bai had found her, she would have found a place to lie down. Standing in the tree all afternoon had almost exhausted her.

"Are you nuns planning to get involved in this matter?"

Faced with Su Bai's seemingly idiotic question, Rosalia rolled her eyes at him with her deadpan gaze. Su Bai realized he had asked a stupid question and coughed awkwardly twice.

"Well, here's the talisman for you. Consider it my contribution."

"This talisman can put a person into an illusion, and then they will answer whatever you ask them truthfully."

"Oh, and let me recommend another helper. If you encounter any situations that your nuns can't handle, you can look for a blonde girl in the streets of Mondstadt. She'll help you; you'll only need to pay her some Mora."

Su Bai tossed Rosalia a talisman he had drawn. Faced with Su Bai's gift, Rosalia was conflicted. Subjectively, Rosalia did not trust Su Bai and should not have taken the talisman, but for Mondstadt's sake, her body honestly caught the talisman floating in the air.

"Thank you, I'll go make preparations to arrest them right away."

"Go ahead, go ahead, wait a minute, ma'am, are you going to arrest people without any evidence?"

"Evidence, huh."

Rosalia pointed to her clothes. "Hmm, these clothes are really big. Ugh, they're really pretty for slimes. When did nuns' clothes become so daring? Normally, shouldn't nuns' clothes cover them up completely?"

“Speaking of evidence is the style of the Knights of Favonius. We nuns don’t care about such things. As long as anyone dares to harm Mondstadt, we will become their worst nightmare.”

"And next time you look at me like that, I'll gouge your eyes out."

Rosalia twirled her knife to warn Su Bai, then, to Su Bai's embarrassment, she leaped over the wall and disappeared among the rooftops.

"Tsk, I remember there was a bishop at West Wind Cathedral, right? It seems that this bishop will soon be a figurehead."

Bishop Simon of Favonius Cathedral (from the official Genshin Impact manga, Jean and Barbara's father) doesn't seem to be very famous in Mondstadt. Su Bai has been in Mondstadt for so many days and hasn't heard anyone mention this bishop. On the contrary, Barbara's name is often mentioned.

"Lord Su Bai, we've been looking for you all afternoon and we've finally found you."

"This is your compensation, please take it."

Not long after Rosalia left, a Knight of Favonius found Su Bai. He almost cried when he saw Su Bai. Heavens above! After delivering compensation to Su Bai's former landlord, he had searched almost the entire city of Mondstadt and finally found Su Bai in this corner.

The troupe leader had given him orders to deliver the compensation to Su Bai today. He had originally planned to go to the tavern for a drink after delivering it to Su Bai, but now the sun was almost setting, and he was exhausted after running around all afternoon. He should just go home, wash up, and go to sleep.

After seeing off the seemingly exhausted Knight of Favonius, Su Bai opened the envelope the knight had given him. Inside was only an address and three identical keys.

"Did they just give me a house? The Knights are pretty generous, but why does this address look so familiar?"

Chapter 46 Paimon, whose Mora was tricked away

Besides the angel's gift, Diluc suppressed a smile and directed the bartender to help Su Bai move furniture. It was unclear whether the Knights had done it on purpose, but the two-story house they had given Su Bai was right next to the angel's gift.

"It seems you really have a special connection with my tavern, Su Bai. Even the house the Knights gave you is right next to my tavern. Come drink here more often in the future!"

Su Bai was at a loss for words. Although the house was in a prime location in Mondstadt and was quite valuable, he didn't want to be so close to the Angel's Gift. That tavern was poisonous, and highly poisonous at that.

Diluc was quite pleased that Su Bai was staying there, as it meant he could chat with Su Bai about the Liyue Sage when he had nothing else to do. He was very curious about the Liyue Sage, and his intelligence network didn't have much information about them. The Liyue Sage had always been a mysterious figure in Diluc's eyes.

"By the way, Su Bai, there's some news about the Lawrence family's guards that you asked me to investigate."

"They were a group of people responsible for buying and selling death squads to the Lawrence family."

"These people first hired a group of people to pose as a treasure-hunting gang and kill the children's parents. Then the Lawrence family appeared, drove away the people posing as treasure-hunting gang, and took the opportunity to adopt the children and train them to become assassins."

Diluc's tone was somewhat cold. This behavior was intolerable to him. He wanted to investigate who was behind it all, but the person behind it was hiding too well, and even his family's intelligence network had no clue.

"So that's how it is. No wonder those guards were so fearless; they were trained to be suicide soldiers."

"It seems they are a pathetic bunch."

After learning the truth, Su Bai felt heavy-hearted. Besides feeling pity for these assassins, he was also worried that something like this might happen in Liyue.

No, he had to write this down and talk to Ningguang about it when he got back. As a celestial being, he would never allow anyone in Liyue to do such a heinous thing.

"I will continue to investigate this matter, but those children who have been trained to be suicide soldiers probably won't believe it; they have lost the ability to think for themselves."

"The Knights are just as incompetent as I imagined. They actually think the Treasure Thieves did this after something like this happened. Don't they realize something is wrong?"

Diluc clenched his fist. The incompetence of the Knights' higher-ups had been buried deep in the river of time. Countless people had lost their lives because of it, and countless children had been raised into mindless assassins.

Su Bai patted Diluc on the shoulder. Diluc's determination to protect Mondstadt was no less than his determination to protect Liyue, which was why he was very willing to become friends with Diluc.

"However, this matter is not entirely without clues. My people have found some leads, which are about the survivors of a suicide mission that took place more than a decade ago."

"However, this person was sent to Liyue by a group of treasure hunters a few days ago, and my people are still looking for him."

"A treasure-hunting group? They went to Liyue? I feel like I've heard about this somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where." (Brothers should know who it is, it was mentioned in chapter 25.)

Su Bai stroked his chin. He seemed to have some recollection of this matter, but he couldn't quite remember where he had heard it.

"Go, go quickly, you liar! Today, I, Paimon, will act on behalf of Heaven and send you, you liar, to the Knights of Favonius."

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just go join in the fun."

Not far away, Paimon's fierce yet adorable voice reached Su Bai's ears. Su Bai's fox ears twitched, as if there was more fun to be had. Mondstadt had been quite lively these past few days.

After asking Diluc to keep an eye on the furniture, Su Bai headed straight for the direction of Paimon's voice, and as he expected, there was indeed some excitement to watch.

On the street, Ying had tied up a shifty-looking guy with a rope and was walking towards the Knights. Paimon, who was flying beside them, kept hitting the guy's head with her little fists for some reason, and looked very angry.

"What's wrong with you, Paimon? You actually have the nerve to throw a punch at someone. This isn't like you at all."

"Su Bai, what brings you here? Never mind, you've come at the perfect time! Quick, help me deal with this liar!"
