Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 368 I will remember this grudge

However, events did not give Mu Feng enough time to think about the fleeting gap in his memory.

A discordant commotion interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop! You're bullying us!"

Mu Feng was startled back to his senses by the familiar voice. Sure enough, Amber, who had just been beside him, was nowhere to be seen.

He thought to himself, "Oh no!" and quickly pushed through the crowd, squeezing his way into the chaotic area.

Amber's voice was coming from that direction.

There was no time to mutter complaints about a certain restless little girl. By the time Mu Feng squeezed out of the crowd somewhat disheveled, the originally chaotic group had vaguely formed a standoff between two sides.

On one side was Amber, and behind her stood a blue-haired girl of about the same age, carrying a heavy sword.

The girl's eyes were a beautiful amber color, exuding a noble air with a hint of aloofness. She had short, sky-blue hair and wore exquisite aristocratic attire, which appeared slightly disheveled during the shoving.

He vaguely remembered the girl; it seemed they had met briefly at a tea party. She was Yura, the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family.

On the other side were two or three aggressive young men. Mu Feng inadvertently recognized that two of them seemed to be the same guys who had been digging up Lawrence's old grievances at the Deer Hunter's next table that morning.

At this moment, the saleswoman at Mond Department Store stood helplessly behind the counter, covering her eyes and timidly peering around.

The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, and the crowd automatically split into two sides, which implicitly indicated their stance.

However, the two girls were clearly isolated and helpless.

Mu Feng sighed and rubbed his forehead. Although he had been lost in thought, it didn't stop him from guessing the course of events with a high degree of accuracy.

The Lawrence family was not popular in Mondstadt and always kept a low profile, rarely appearing in the sight of Mondstadt residents.

Therefore, the chances of a direct conflict with the Lawrence people are not high if one only engages in verbal sparring behind their backs.

But it's clear that today's situation seems to be an exception.

As the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, her appearance in public in Mondstadt almost inevitably made her a target of public criticism.

On the other hand, given Amber's personality, it would be impossible for her not to argue with them in this situation.

So, things have probably developed into what they are now.

As it turns out, when it comes to understanding Amber's personality, even the old captain of a certain knightly reconnaissance squad would have to admit defeat.

"First, never act impulsively!"

"Secondly, we must never let a single wrongdoing go unpunished!"

"Third, the refereeing was absolutely fair and beautiful!"

"Reconnaissance Knight Amber, reporting for duty!"

Amber on the court showed no signs of frustration despite being at a disadvantage; in fact, quite the opposite.

The young girl gave a less-than-perfect knightly salute with high spirits, her rabbit ear hair ornaments swaying in the air.

This imposing presence immediately stunned many people in the room.

The first to react were the troublemakers.

At first, the girls were taken aback, but after hearing the word "ready," they let out a disdainful snort.

"Hey, where did this little guy come from? Hurry up and get out of here. By the way, do you know who's standing behind you?"

One of them sneered and impatiently gestured for her to leave, clearly not taking the little girl seriously.

The man's threats had no effect. Amber stood with her hands on her hips, glaring back angrily.

"First, I have a name, Amber; second, I don't know who she is, but I do know that you cut in line."

The girl's counterattack was reasonable and well-founded, but the people opposite her stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if they had heard that all of Mondstadt's dandelion wine would be sold out tomorrow.

"That's Lawrence! A descendant of sinners! Why is he queuing in the same line as us!"

"If you ask me, we should kick them all out of Mondstadt!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers, unaware of the situation, took another step back, and the number of people on the two girls' side decreased further.

Sympathy for Lawrence is not a mainstream sentiment in Mondstadt.

Amber blushed with anger at the exaggerated tone of the group, and her voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.

"So what! You're just bullying us!"

However, the girl's voice was quickly drowned out by a malicious whisper.

Yura's gaze was complicated. She slowly loosened her grip on the hilt of the greatsword and gently placed her hand on Amber's shoulder.

"That's fine, this has nothing to do with you... Thank you."

The girl's tone was cold and emotionless.

This is her business; there's no need to involve others.

This was the first time someone had come to Lawrence's rescue, disrupting her revenge plans. She remembered this grudge.

"No way! The Scout Knight will never bow to injustice!"

Amber refused to comply and instead grabbed Yura's hand, shielding her completely behind her.

A look of surprise flashed across the girl's eyes. She opened her mouth, looked at the hand that was being held, but couldn't say a word.

Is this guy an idiot...?

This matter clearly has nothing to do with her.

On the other side, the group's patience was clearly running out, and they began to push and shove their way toward the two girls.

Yura's eyes turned cold, and her hand once again touched the hilt of her sword.

If these guys get any closer, she'll really have to show some mercy.

"Stop it all!"

A deep shout silenced the chaotic crowd. Someone recognized the voice and automatically made way for him.

The youngest knight in the Order of Knights is the hottest topic of conversation in the taverns lately.

Yura frowned. The Gunnhild family, it seems... are also members of the Knights Order. What a nuisance.

She didn't think the Knights would say anything fair about Lawrence's sinful family.

Amber's eyes lit up immediately, and she dragged Yura, whose face was full of reluctance, behind Mu Feng.

"Brother Mufeng!"

Mu Feng first gave the little girl a reassuring look, then scanned the crowd and spoke in a steady voice.

"I am a knight of the Knights of Favonius, Mufeng Gunnhildr. As you all know, if someone openly disrupts the order in the city, the Knights have the right to invite them to the detention room for a few cups of hot tea."

The statement didn't name anyone, but the group of people who had been so arrogant just moments before suddenly felt uneasy.

"Does the Knights also favor Lawrence?"

Some of them disagreed and retorted in a low voice.

Mu Feng remained calm, looking at everyone present.

"I didn't see Lawrence; what I saw was a group of thugs who disrupted order, distorted the truth, and bullied young girls."

"How are you any different from Lawrence in history?"

Everyone's expression changed, but some still protested.

"But that's Lawrence!"

Mu Feng turned his head, looking clearly into the eyes of the protester, and asked a question, word by word.

"Then, do you dare to swear to the Wind God that your actions were not motivated by any personal vendetta?"

The man's gaze darted away, his face grim, avoiding Mu Feng's eyes; clearly, he had been struck where it hurt by Mu Feng's words.

The remaining people immediately lost their spirit and scattered like birds and beasts.

The crowd fell silent, although many still disagreed.

Once Lawrence, always Lawrence!

However, some people are slowly beginning to think about it.

What they were hostile to was Lawrence himself.

Or has Lawrence become an excuse that allows them to justify amplifying their inner malice?

Tonight is destined to be an eventful night, as a certain green bard sings in his pen:

"The wind is about to change direction."

"Fragments of words fall like dandelion fluff."

"Old rules have sunk to the surface of the reopened lake."
