Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 319 Let Morality Punish You

The middle-aged nobleman's face changed. "Shut up! Eula, do you know what you are saying? Don't forget that you are also a member of the Lawrence family. The family has brought you glory, but you are so ungrateful!"

"Glory? The so-called glory of the Lawrence family? Is it built on the oppression and exploitation of the people of Mondstadt?"

Eula's voice became increasingly colder, and the people around her couldn't help but be intimidated by her aura.

Then some people began to discuss in low voices.

"It seems that this Wave Knight is really fair and selfless, but she is a member of the Lawrence family after all. Isn't she afraid of being rejected by her own family for doing this?" This is a Xumi merchant.

“I heard that she has joined the Knights of Favonius. Perhaps she has already cut ties with the Lawrence family.” Another Winter Merchant said.

"Hmph, in my opinion, she is just pretending to be nice and trying to win the favor of the common people. The people in the Lawrence family are not good people."

Some people were shocked by Eula's outspokenness, but others, because the Lawrence family had a very bad reputation, did not have much good feelings towards Eula, the so-called "traitor" of the Lawrence family who joined the Knights of Favonius, and naturally did not believe in the justice she spoke of.

Hearing these comments, Eula's expression did not change at all. She kept her eyes fixed on the middle-aged nobleman and said coldly, "Apologize to this child immediately, otherwise, I will take you back to the Knights of Favonius to receive the punishment you deserve."

The middle-aged noble's expression turned extremely ugly. He sneered, "Oh, punishment? I just accidentally bumped into an ordinary civilian. I didn't break any law. Why do you punish me? Are you, the Knights of Favonius, only bullying us nobles now? Aren't we citizens of Mondstadt?"

Since Eula is using her status as a member of the Knights to put pressure on him, there is no need for him to give Eula face just because they are both members of the Lawrence family.

Hearing the middle-aged noble's words, Eula's face darkened.

As the other party said, although his behavior of hitting the little boy and not apologizing was immoral, it did not clearly violate the law.

The authority of the Knights of Favonius is not far-reaching, and she cannot punish a noble at will based on her personal will.

This made her feel a little embarrassed for a moment and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Just when Youla was in a dilemma, Su Xun walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "Since there is no law to punish such immoral behavior, why not let the power of morality make him admit his mistakes."

Everyone's eyes turned to Su Xun. When Youla saw him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Su Xun?!"

How come Su Xun is here?

The middle-aged noble looked Su Xun up and down and sneered, "Boy, who are you? How dare you speak nonsense here?"

Su Xun smiled slightly and said slowly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your behavior is really shameful. As a noble, you should set an example and show proper demeanor and upbringing, instead of bullying the weak by relying on your status."

The middle-aged nobleman's face darkened and he said angrily: "Humph, are you teaching me a lesson?"

Su Xun looked calm and said with a faint smile: "No, I am just stating the facts. If you are unwilling to apologize, and today's incident spreads, I am afraid that the reputation of your Lawrence family will be even worse.

Although the Lawrence family already has a bad reputation in Mondstadt, if your actions make the entire family the target of public criticism again, I'm sure your life in the family won't be easy, right?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged noble's expression became uncertain.

Indeed, Su Xun's words were not alarmist. If this matter became a big deal, the elders in the family would definitely blame him.

At this time, Su Xun continued: "A simple apology can not only resolve this dispute, but also show your magnanimity. Why not do it?"

The people around also began to echo: "That's right, it's just an apology, it won't cost you a piece of meat."

"Don't embarrass the nobles!"

Under the pressure of everyone, the middle-aged noble finally said to the little boy reluctantly: "Humph, I'm sorry!"

The little boy wiped his tears and said timidly, "No...it's okay."

He had never expected, nor did he dare to ask the nobleman to truly apologize to him, but Eula insisted on seeking justice for him, which led to the current stalemate.

Now that the matter was resolved, he felt a little overwhelmed.

After apologizing, the middle-aged noble did not stay any longer. He snorted coldly and turned away in a hurry.

Youla looked at his departing back, snorted softly, then turned to look at Su Xun with a smile on her face: "Su Xun, I didn't expect to meet you here, thank you for helping me out just now."

Su Xun smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. You did the right thing. Justice should be served."

Seeing that the problem was solved, the crowd around gradually dispersed. After the little boy thanked Eula, he also hurried away.

"Eula, why are you here?" Su Xun asked.

Eula replied, "I just happened to be on patrol in Jingfu Port these days, and I didn't expect to encounter something like this."

After saying that, she looked at Su Xun and the others and asked curiously, "What about you? Why did you suddenly come to Jingfu Port?"

Su Xun briefly explained the situation.

"Hehe, Eula, since we meet by chance, why don't you take us around Jingfu Port?" Paimon said with a smile as he approached Eula.

"Paimon, didn't Eula say she was on patrol? How can we delay her work?" Yingmei said.

Eula smiled and said, "It's okay. The patrol is almost over. It's no problem for me to show you around."

"I think it's better not to trouble you. After all, we are just strolling for a while and will leave soon." Su Xun said.

"Hmph, why are you talking nonsense? Why is a grown man so fussy? It's okay if I say it's okay." Eula crossed her arms and snorted.

Everyone smiled at each other, and under the leadership of Eula, they began to explore Jingfu Port more deeply.

Along the way, Youla introduced the special shops and customs of Jingfu Port in detail, and everyone listened with great interest.

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect that your relationship with your family is so bad, Eula. Is there any difficulty in doing so?" As a general of the ghost clan, Miyu Chiyo has a rather straightforward personality and couldn't help but ask.

She remembered that Eula was a member of the Lawrence family, but her accusations against the middle-aged noble just now clearly showed that there was a big rift between her and the family.

Eula's expression dimmed for a moment, then returned to normal. She said calmly, "The Lawrence family has committed many crimes against Mond. I cannot agree with their ideas and actions. They also don't like my joining the Knights of Favonius, so our relationship is naturally bad."
