"No, Klee, it's my fault. I didn't watch you properly. You should punish me instead."
Looking at the two people, one big and one small, embracing each other, he realized that he had just been a messenger of justice, but how could he feel like he was about to become the embodiment of evil in such a short time?
Su Bai sighed, shook his head to banish these strange thoughts from his mind. Although he knew that Yae no Miko was acting, it was obvious that Klee wouldn't believe him.
As expected of a thousand-year-old fox, Su Bai was still far from being as skilled as them. He muttered to himself, but decided to forgive them anyway, otherwise he couldn't punish Ke Li as well.
"Alright, alright, I'll let you off this time. Just be more careful next time. Luckily, the explosion happened outside the city. If it had happened inside the city, Qin definitely wouldn't have let you off so easily."
Su Bai rubbed his temples. He suddenly felt a little sorry for Jean. There were already enough problems in Mondstadt, and now he had to worry about what kind of trouble Klee and Yae no Miko might cause.
"When we go to Inazuma later, we can ask Ayaka if she has any hair care and hair growth medicine. We can bring some back for Koto. With Koto's workload, she'll go bald sooner or later. I just hope her hair can last until then."
If alchemy can fix teeth, then can it also make hair grow back? He'll definitely have to ask Miss Sugar about that when he sees her.
Dangdang~
There was a knock on the door. Su Bai looked at the mess in his house. All the protective charms that Yae no Miko had made were burned to ashes in the fire.
"The amulets for today are sold out. Come back tomorrow."
Dangdang~
There was another rapid knocking on the door, but this time the knocking was louder than before. It was clear that the guest outside was a bit irritable and didn't seem to be satisfied with Su Bai's explanation.
Su Bai had no choice but to get up and open the door. After all, he was a guest, and he couldn't just kick him out. However, Su Bai was secretly annoyed and decided to double the price of the amulet and sell it to this annoying guy.
When he opened the door, what came into view was not a burly, impatient adventurer, but a girl with a dark face and light blue hair. Well, she had a pretty good figure, but her clothes seemed to be covered in dust. She looked like a girl from the countryside, but for some reason, Su Bai felt that this country girl looked very familiar.
Looking at the person in front of him, Su Bai couldn't figure out who this country girl was no matter how hard he tried, so he could only guess and hesitantly ask...
"Um, miss, are you a relative of Kaeya from the countryside? Kaeya is usually in the Knights of Favonius's office building. Just walk straight ahead from here and you'll get there."
"Ha, you bombed me and not only did you deny it, you even claimed I was some country bumpkin relative of Kaiya? I'll remember this grudge!"
Hearing that familiar catchphrase, Su Bai looked the country girl up and down. If it weren't for Yura's signature hands-on-hips pose and her unusual blue hair, Su Bai wouldn't have recognized her as Yura without using his fairy power to sense her.
"You're Yura??? Were you blown up by that bomb?"
"How dare you say that? If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have already gone to Barbara for treatment."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai finally understood why Yura had turned into a country bumpkin. Good heavens, it turned out that the bomb that flew outside the city had blown up this unlucky Yura.
After figuring out what had happened, Su Bai chuckled twice. It was indeed his fault for not keeping a close eye on Ke Li. When Yura realized that Su Bai had figured things out, she didn't stand on ceremony and pushed Su Bai aside to walk into the house. Seeing this, Su Bai hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"Hey, hey, hey, Klee's still little, you can't hit her."
"Ha, you actually think of me as a bad guy who beats up children. I'll remember this grudge. Where's your bathroom? I need to go wash up."
Hearing that they weren't going to cause trouble for Klee, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Klee then poked her head out of the house.
"I think I just heard Yura's voice. Yura, is that you who came to see me?"
"That's right, Cleopatra, I've come to see you."
Su Bai was somewhat surprised to see Klee jump into Yura's arms. He hadn't expected Klee and Yura to have such a good relationship.
"Come on, take Yura to the bathroom, and Yura will give you a bath while she's at it."
"Yay, time for a bath! I'll go call Sister Shenzi over too."
Seeing the three women laughing and joking as they entered the bathroom, Su Bai felt something was off. This was supposed to be his home, so why was Yura being so unceremonious with him? She didn't seem to consider him an outsider at all.
"Forget it, if Sister Shenzi is here, Yura might be able to become friends with her. Let's bring her some dinner tonight, so she won't hold a grudge later."
Actually, Su Bai just didn't know that a few days ago, when Yae no Miko took Klee to the Deer Hunter Restaurant for snacks, there were no empty tables because there were too many people, and no one wanted to sit at the same table as Yura.
Klee was so busy eating her snacks that she didn't notice Yura at all, and Yura didn't see Klee who was being blocked by Yae no Miko, so Yura stood there awkwardly for a long time.
Yae no Miko, a fox who had lived for hundreds of years, keenly sensed that the little girl seemed to be isolated. Ignoring the advice of those around her, she insisted on inviting Yura to share a table with her.
Under Yae no Miko's deliberate approach, the naive girl Yura not only revealed her entire background but also unilaterally declared that she had become Yae no Miko's good friend.
Chapter Sixty-Four: Who exactly is the green-haired pervert?
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Bai finally understood why Yura had come to his door in such a fit of anger. It turned out that just moments before, Yura had seen several members of the Fools acting suspiciously and plotting something wicked. Yura wanted to follow them to see what was going on, but suddenly a bomb fell from the sky, causing her to lose track of them.
"Ahem, I'm so sorry, how about I go with you to look for it tomorrow?"
Su Bai, who originally just wanted to coast through Mondstadt until his eighteenth birthday, felt a little embarrassed. Since Klee had made a mistake, he, as her older brother, definitely had to make amends.
"I didn't expect you to have some sense of responsibility, but let's forget about it. The Fatui in Mondstadt have been quite unruly lately. Just protect Klee."
Yura ate the tricolor dumplings made by Yae no Miko with elegance, displaying the etiquette of a noble dining table to the fullest, while Klee pouted and sneakily tried to push the half-empty milk in her cup in front of Yura.
After being discovered by Yae no Miko, Yae no Miko filled Klee's cup again. Klee looked at Yae no Miko with the eyes of someone looking at a devil, seemingly unable to believe that Yae no Miko would do such a thing.
Just now, after Yura mentioned what the Fatui might be up to, Su Bai used his divine power to roughly sense Mondstadt and indeed found that many Fatui members had been transferred away from Mondstadt.
Based on Su Bai's understanding of the Fatui, this level of reshuffling should have been orchestrated by the Fatui executor in Mondstadt.
"By the way, Yura, why are there so many Fatui in your Mondstadt? With this level of infiltration, your Knights of Favonius will inevitably have traitors sooner or later."
"If the person in charge of cooking for you betrays you and adds something to your food, you'll all be finished."
Yura didn't know how to explain it to Su Bai. Should she really say that Mondstadt's military strength was too weak? Wouldn't that make her a laughing stock?
"Hmph, you actually dared to say that there would be a traitor in our Knights of Favonius? I'll remember this grudge!"
Well, reminding her once again has made her hold a grudge. Su Bai sighed and rubbed his forehead. At this moment, Yae no Miko also spoke up to explain why Su Bai had reminded her like that.
"When Shiro was in Inazuma, he offended many powerful families because he couldn't stand their behavior. So some people who couldn't stand it bribed the shogunate's chef to poison Shiro."
"But as luck would have it, that little guy Sara was there that day. Sara, who clearly noticed that the chef was acting strangely, pried open the chef's mouth and poured all the food into it."
"That poor fellow died of poisoning before he could even beg for mercy. This incident caused quite a stir at the time, and even the general was alarmed. He even ordered Kujo Sara to thoroughly investigate the matter."
When Yura heard that Su Bai had actually been poisoned, she slammed her hand on the table in anger. Yura despised such despicable methods.
"And in the end, was it found out?"
"We found out. It was a fool's executor named Sanbing who was behind it. If Shiro and I hadn't arrived in time, Kujo Sara would have been in danger."
Su Bai nodded slightly. The battle was indeed fierce. If Ichidou hadn't been pestering Kujo Sara to fight Kujo Sara with insects that day, Kujo Sara might not have survived until their arrival.
Because the scene was too bloody, Yae no Miko immediately covered Su Bai's eyes. Su Bai would never forget the jealous words spoken by the scattered soldiers.
"Su Bai, you are really lucky. I also hope that when my world is about to collapse, someone can cover my eyes."
After leaving behind this nonsensical remark, the short executive officer simply ran away, which puzzled Su Bai greatly. Shouldn't they have fought to determine a winner? Why did he just run away?
With doubts in his mind, he had also investigated the name Sanbing through the Kamisato family's intelligence network in Inazuma, but unfortunately, he only found out some unimportant information.
"Is there really a traitor within the Knights?"
Yura fell into deep thought. Although she didn't get along well with the Knights on the surface, this kind-hearted girl still didn't want to see the Knights killed by an inside traitor.
"I won't say more, Yura, you should still be careful."
"When you doubt whether a violet is ripe or not, you've already decided in your mind that it's not ripe. So whether you cut it open or not makes no difference."
Su Bai's words made Yura fall into deep thought again. A few days ago, the high-ranking members of the Knights were slaughtered. Now that the storm has just subsided, is it possible that the traitor within the Knights is about to emerge again?
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's leave the matters of the Knights to Commander Jean for her to worry about."
"Yura, do you know anyone in Mondstadt with green hair?"
Green hair? Yura thought for a moment, but she couldn't think of anyone with green hair. She didn't have many friends, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head.
"Among the people I'm on good terms with, there doesn't seem to be anyone with green hair yet, wait a minute."
"I remember that most of the lightning spellcasters in the Fatui have green hair. Could the person you're looking for be a lightning spellcaster?"
As Yura was talking, she suddenly remembered that among the Fatui she had followed today, there was a green-haired lightning sorcerer. Su Bai thought about it and felt that the person did not seem like a lightning sorcerer. Su Bai, who had the Lightning Attribute Eye since childhood, was very sensitive to the Lightning Attribute. If he really was a lightning sorcerer, he would definitely have noticed it.
"I suggest you ask Diluc tomorrow. Diluc should know something."
Su Bai still trusted Diluc's intelligence network. It would be good to ask Sugar about her tomorrow. Poor Bennett might only be able to drink porridge from now on if he doesn't have teeth.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking and the sun hadn't even risen yet, there was another knock on Su Bai's door. Su Bai, with his messy hair, opened the door with annoyance.
"Who is it? It's so early in the morning, can't a person get any sleep?"
Last night after dinner, Yura saw that there were quite a few empty rooms in Su Bai's house, so she refused to go back to the Lawrence clan's territory. She even bought a new set of bedding and moved into Su Bai's house, claiming that she was taking care of Keli.
Knowing the reason, Su Bai naturally didn't make things difficult for Yura. Anyway, the house given by the Knights was big enough, so it wouldn't hurt for Yura to stay there.
This decision delighted Claire, so the three women in the house stayed up until the wee hours of the morning last night. They only went to sleep when Claire was too tired to continue.
(Spicy noodles with ice-cold cola is so refreshing, but it might upset your stomach...)
Chapter Sixty-Five: The Rise of Dawn Winery
"Hey Diluc, you went out to do good deeds in the middle of the night, and you're up this early in the morning?"
Diluc stood at Su Bai's door, his unique dead fish eyes making Su Bai feel uncomfortable. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Su Bai forced himself to stay awake.
"Tell me, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
“I’ve acquired some ice mist flower stamens for winemaking. Because of some problems at Dawn Winery, I would like you to help me safely transport the acquired ice mist flower stamens to Dawn Winery.”
"Because this shipment is quite important, I will hire you with the highest reward among the Adventurers' Guild's cargo transport commissions."
Su Bai didn't rush to agree. Yesterday, the Fools started their operation, and today Diluc's Dawn Winery is in trouble. There must be some connection between them.
"Do you need any help? If this shipment is ready, I can go to the Dawn Winery with you."
"I wasn't prepared, it's just a few minor troubles, I can handle them all by myself."
Diluc shook his head. He could usually collect all the Ice Mist Flower stamens in one night, but he still hadn't collected them all by dawn. Someone must be up to something.
"Charles will contact you once you've collected them all, Su Bai. Be careful on the road, and prioritize your own safety."
"Diluc, are you really going to face this alone?"
"Before dawn arrives, someone always has to light up the darkness a little. I have no affection for the Knights; I am enough on my own."
Su Bai narrowed his eyes as he watched Diluc's retreating figure. Diluc's sense of righteousness surpassed that of 99% of the people on the Teyvat continent. In Liyue, such people were either renowned heroes throughout history or righteous individuals who would be remembered for generations. Mondstadt was truly fortunate to have someone like Diluc.
As he pondered, Su Bai glanced casually at the dark alleyway. He knew that the few rats in that alley were no match for Diluc, and he had a feeling that some people wouldn't let him deliver this shipment to Dawn Winery so easily.
"This is getting more and more interesting. Are the Fools becoming this bold now? But this time, they probably chose the wrong opponent."
Su Bai glanced at the rising sun. This light was not enough to illuminate Mondstadt, which was shrouded in darkness. Diluc, just how far can you go?
