"——You are an honest man. But unfortunately, I can't sell this wheelchair. I don't know if I will have to rely on it to make a living when I retire from the Knights."

Mr. An shook his head and refused to trade with him, but Yegor still seemed unwilling.

"Old sir, please think about it carefully. I think the size of this wheelchair is not suitable for your body. Why don't you take this money and order a more suitable one. This money is more than enough for you to buy seven wheelchairs, not to mention one."

Just as Mr. An frowned slightly and was about to decline again, a handsome young man with red hair walked out from behind him, and at the same time, another sly boy also slipped up to the side of the Fatui soldiers.

"Wow, this outfit looks really impressive."

He knocked on the water tank behind the fat man with the water gun as if no one was around, scaring him so much that he quickly moved his waist to cover his hand. His muffled voice was rarely filled with a hint of anger.

"Don't touch my things, kid!"

This is the most core thing in the entire equipment module. If it is broken, you will lose your life.

Kaia smiled nonchalantly, raised his hands to signal and took a few steps back harmlessly.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I just can't control my hands. When I see something good, I can't help but touch it. The lady over there should understand my feelings, right?"

"Don't talk to me without permission, you little brat... Wait, I lost something!"

Just when Miss Lei Ying shook off her impatient look, she found that her waist seemed to be a lot emptier.

It was filled with Wuxu Grass, which was also the favorite food of fireflies. This thing was indispensable for controlling lightning fireflies to work for them or even attack them.

The musket boy touched the mask and thought for a while, his one eye fixed on the familiar foreign face, and then he suddenly remembered.

"Hmm, isn't this the guy I met in the tavern before? Could it be that at that time--"

"Yes, that's right. But I just picked it up from the seat after you two left."

Kaiya took out a pack of sachets with lightning firefly patterns on them at some point, threw them lightly into the air, and then caught them with his hands.

"Damn it! Give it back to me!"

Miss Lei Ying was about to rush over to grab it, but she found that he ran back behind Mr. An with a funny smile on his face.

Diluk also said, "Before that, I think you need to explain to the Knights why there have been thefts of varying degrees in the taverns you have visited."

"Hmm——!" Miss Lei Ying's expression froze for a moment, and Brother Firegun also turned his eyes away.

Only Brother Lei Chui could not stand it anymore, so he stood up to excuse them, saying, "That doesn't mean she is the criminal. Not long ago, your Grand Commander also said that a group of rampant treasure thieves entered Mondstadt. Maybe it was their gang that committed the crime?"

"That's very interesting. The intelligence we received shows that most of the people who were robbed had a chat with an exotic woman not long ago, and they all smelled a very rare and special fragrance from her, which is similar to the smell of this bag of mist grass sac."

"In order to avoid any misidentification, we asked a painter to draw a portrait."

Diluk slowly took out a piece of drawing paper. The lower half of the face of a woman drawn on it was very similar to Miss Lei Ying.

Kaia said jokingly, "Then I remembered that I met you not long ago. Could you please raise your hand and lift your hood so that we can see your beautiful face and prove your innocence?"

"If you say so, then it is. Is this pub owned by your family?"

Miss Lei Ying was obviously still unwilling to give up, and struggled to speak.

"I'm sorry. In Mondstadt, most of the taverns you go to, except for a few private taverns, are indeed owned by our family—"

Diluk put away the painting, folded his arms, and spoke calmly.

“You can recall that the signature wine lists of those pubs all have the seal of the Morningside Winery.”

At this point, how could Yegor not know that these two teenagers came here specifically to cause trouble.

He turned his head with a stern face, looked at the two people, and whispered, "Did you really go?"

"We didn't know this was their chain winery..."

"After all, the second child never went to school and is a hustler."

"Hey - don't talk like it has nothing to do with you. Do you have a higher education than me?"

"Me? At least I went to elementary school."

The words of the fire gun boy immediately crushed Miss Lei Ying's will to resist. She muttered dejectedly: "I actually went to elementary school. I lose..."

"I'm not asking you to talk nonsense, you are the one who caused me this trouble!"

Yegor pinched his temple, a little annoyed by the two clowns, then turned his head away with a twitching mouth.

"I'm afraid this is also a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding? If this beautiful and sweet-voiced green-haired lady cannot prove her innocence, then I'm afraid that when the evidence is submitted to the Knights, they will suspect that you are colluding with the treasure-stealing group, okay?"

Kaia said with a smirk.

"Think about it. With your status, you are actually involved with the treasure-stealing group. This will become international news. Will the countries that accept the Fatui stationed worry about the problem of embezzlement?"

With every word he spoke, Yegor's expression darkened.

Miss Lei Ying's face froze for a moment. She had never encountered such a big setback since she was caught last time, but now she was caught red-handed by a brat.

In response, Kaia also made his last move.

"It just so happens that I also know the editor of the Steam Bird Newspaper. I believe he will not refuse this exclusive news!"

"Boy, don't go too far--"

Brother Lei Chui took a step forward, and his face, which was pressed under the brim of his hat, raised slightly, revealing a serious face and scar like a stone carving.

His gaze was extremely oppressive and intimidating, causing the two young men to tremble, but they stood up straighter and more firmly.

But this time it was Grandpa An's turn to help them. He naturally separated the two teenagers into two sides and made eye contact with them.

The slightly upturned eyebrows showed the determination of someone who had faced death head-on, and the wrinkled face was kind but not weak.

"After listening to you, I roughly understand what's going on. It seems that you are indeed involved in trouble. Why don't you come with me to the Knights' Order to be investigated?"

The atmosphere became stagnant.

Chapter 63 opens a new chapter for the Knights!

After a long stalemate, even the patrolling knights not far away seemed to be casting glances over here frequently, and some were whispering to their companions, as if they were preparing to come over here.

Yegor also quickly glanced around and looked at the two young men for a few seconds, then forced a fake smile again.

"It seems that this deal cannot go on. I also apologize to you for my subordinates' reckless behavior."

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If this kind of handle is really spread out, it will indeed cause trouble for that adult. Moreover, the young man who is confronting here is actually the heir of the owner of the Dawn Winery.

There is no need for him to break up the relationship here for a little money. Young people are always full of courage and passion, so it can be understood.

"As compensation, I will give this amount of Mora to you, sir, to distribute among the victims of the theft. If there is any surplus, please accept it."

After Yegor handed the money to the old man in front of him, he said with a fake smile: "But even if the deal fails, we still have friendship. If you want to sell this wheelchair in the future, or know where you can customize such a wheelchair, please let me know. I will be staying at the Goethe Hotel for about a week, and you will definitely find me there."

He was like the most mature Liyue merchant, speaking words of friendship and then leaving with his hands in his pockets.

The four members of the Fatui did not say anything, but followed him away. However, before leaving, Kaeya threw the Mist Grass Bag back to Miss Lei Ying.

She took it hurriedly, then glared at them angrily, but was quickly slapped on the head by her eldest brother, so she had to pout and follow.

Seeing them leave, Kaia also let out an exaggerated breath.

"I was really scared. I thought that person was going to attack me."

"They are not fools. How could they really fight us in broad daylight? Besides, you were too provocative just now."

Diluk glared at Kaeya. This guy didn't act according to the plan and almost caused everything to fail.

Originally, they only intended to use the matter of the tavern to threaten them slightly and make them back down, but they didn't expect that they would get the hot Mora.

Only those whose money has been stolen know how much has been stolen from them. How can it be easy for them to share the money?

It is troublesome to verify the authenticity of the person who was stolen, let alone spread all the information.

And if the news cannot be spread, public opinion will naturally shift to their side.

Of course, they could also keep it secret, claiming that it was kept by Captain An and they had no right to interfere, but that would undoubtedly be tantamount to admitting defeat to that group of people.

Able to identify problems, but not able to resolve them.

What a cunning and shrewd guy.

Diluk thought to himself, "It's troublesome."

However, he does not regret standing up. Justice should be served and someone must stand up to do such a thing.

Kaia, who noticed the change in his expression, just stretched lazily and said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright. At least the result is good, isn't it? You see, Captain An's troubles are over, and we have also warned those people not to mess around in Mondstadt. This is a win-win situation."

"You relaxed too early. We haven't resolved the problem yet..." Diluk frowned and was about to lecture him, but was interrupted by Grandpa An.

"Alright. Diluk and Kaeya, let me handle this matter. I feel like I'm about to retire as I'm being taken care of by you two juniors today."

A smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he invited them to join him.

"Haha, look at what Captain An said. You are still strong despite your age. Who can doubt the ability of the captain of the scout knights?"

Kaeya followed him with a smile, and Diluk also smiled helplessly.

"Perhaps we are the ones who have troubled you."

"No, no, I'm very happy that you can do this. It's not easy to stand up and protect others."

He pushed the wheelchair while sighing.

"It is precisely because of the fresh blood like you joining the Knights that the tradition can be passed on without losing its original spirit."

"Oh, this is the feeling of helping others. It's really good!"

Kaeya was still in a nonchalant state, but Diluk was a little excited. He believed that his father would be proud of him to be recognized by such an experienced senior knight.

However, before they had walked far, Kaia asked a slightly sensitive question.

"By the way, Captain An, why has your little Amber disappeared recently? This month, she has dropped to the bottom of the list of troublemakers in Mondstadt. I saw several hunter uncles wondering if she is preparing a big surprise."

"...She's still as lively as ever. She's just been staying at home studying lately. But Mondstadt actually has such a ranking?"

After briefly answering the questions, Mr. An also caught a glimpse of the Knights' headquarters that was already in front of him.

"Of course not. Before this, your little Amber has been at the top of the list." Kaia still maintained a sly smile, "By the way, the second place is me."

"Ahem, Kaia. Don't talk about her behind her back—"

Diluk quickly poked Kaeya with his elbow.

"Oh, sorry, sorry! I just blurted it out. Captain An, you won't blame me, right?"

"Ha, there's nothing to blame. It's not like I don't know about my granddaughter."

Mr. An just smiled, then stared at him with interest.

"But you, boy, are so concerned about my little Amber. Could it be...?"

"...Uh, hahaha, don't make this joke casually!"

Kaeya quickly laughed it off, while Diluk gave him a look that said "you deserve it".

"Okay. I know what you are curious about in your heart. It's not that I don't trust you, but I still want to make a manly agreement with you."

The three of them stopped at the same time, right in front of the Knights' headquarters.

"If I tell you her identity, I won't ask you to become friends with her or take better care of her. I just hope you won't be bothered by her background and treat her fairly and equally."

"This is also the code of the Knights of Favonius. I am willing to swear on the honor of the Leggenfend family."

Diluk nodded.

"You actually agreed to such a serious matter without hesitation. It's really rare..." Kaeya scratched his head and looked at Diluk with a strange smile: "Don't tell me you already know who she is? Why do I feel like I'm on a pirate ship?"

The red-haired boy did not answer, but just snorted softly. However, Mr. An did not bother to be polite with Kaia. He grabbed him by the back of the collar and said.

"It's too late to run away now. Since you asked, you should be prepared to agree to it. Otherwise, when I come back from the mission and hear any bad rumors, I will be the first to find Master Cripps and have a good talk with him."

"Yes! Please tell me, I, Kaia, will do my utmost to serve that lady!"

"You are such a smooth talker. I am a little worried that it might not be a good idea to introduce her to you."

Mr. An put him down, then caught a glimpse of the girl hanging around the door. There was no mistaking the bright red rabbit-ear headband.

At the same time, behind her was the child he was going to introduce—

"Anyway, her name is Yuya Lawrence. She's the same Lawrence you all know, but she's not as annoying as most Lawrences."

While they were talking, the sharp-eyed Amber spotted him, then jumped up happily and ran towards him.

"Hey, Grandpa, you're finally here, let me push the wheelchair!"
