Yanfei: Eula, You Mustn't Break the Law!
Despite being a highly skilled architect, Jie ended up heavily in debt due to his insistence. Although Bai Ye didn't understand or approve of his actions, she couldn't bear to see him in this situation.
If necessary, I will try to find a way to help Kaveh.
Thinking this, Bai Ye returned to find Keqing again.
Keqing was still reading.
I'm a heartless civil engineering student, I'm a heartless civil engineering student...
As she watched, Keqing kept reciting in her mind.
The scene of embracing Bai Ye just now was still in her mind.
You brat, you cannot disturb my resolve.
Just then, Bai Ye pushed open the door.
"Keqing, I've come to see you again?"
He opened the door and began to speak.
After the thud
My Daoist mind is in turmoil.
"What brings you here? What did that woman from the Lawrence Family say to you? If it's too troublesome, just kick her out."
Keqing frowned and asked.
The Lawrence Family is indeed quite powerful; in terms of family influence, only Jean's Gunnhildr Family and Diluc's family can surpass them in Mondstadt. However, for Keqing, they're just so-so. None of the Liyue Qixing are inferior to them, so there's no need to worry too much about them.
"It's not that bad. I told her to go find that other member of the Lawrence Family. She's a friend of Klee and Albedo, not that kind of person."
Bai Ye defended Eula.
Bai Ye's always more tolerant and enthusiastic towards girls he's known since he was on Earth.
However, enthusiasm does not mean being without bottom lines or rules.
Even in Liyue Harbor, one must still abide by the rules of Liyue.
"Really? What's she doing here?"
Keqing asked Bai Ye.
"Yes, if she came to see Laesg, she's worried Laesg might cause some trouble here," Bai Ye said to Keqing. He then continued, "Later I told her she could go with the Lawrence Family to see what Guili Plains looks like, and then make a decision. As for whether they're willing to accept my suggestion, I don't know."
"Um."
Keqing nodded slightly.
As far as the Lawrence Family is concerned, it would be great if they were willing to accept and relocate some of their members, but it wouldn't matter if they weren't.
After explaining Eula's situation, Bai Ye remembered the purpose of her visit and immediately said to Keqing, "By the way, I had another reason for asking you here. I was thinking that if we're going to build Guili Plains, should we create a city that blends different cultures from multiple countries? However, if we're going to integrate different cultures, I feel we'll need to find a suitable designer to design the specific construction plans."
"Design?"
Keqing nodded thoughtfully.
If you want to build a unified city, then you naturally need to design it carefully.
In terms of aesthetics and art, Keqing is not without talent, but she is not particularly outstanding either. She is a competent construction contractor and master architect, but not a master designer.
The wall-building techniques recorded in the Gods knowledge that Bai Ye gave her mostly focused on how to construct tall towers and thick walls. Simply put, these are important for the construction of a city, but they are not comprehensive. After all, this is about building a city, not a fortress; it's not enough to simply build something that can't be breached.
Do you know anyone who can design?
Bai Ye nodded.
"Yes, although I don't know him personally, I've heard of his name. From a design perspective, there's no one more suitable than him."
"Oh? Who are you talking about?"
"Hmm, how do you feel about being an outstanding graduate of the Sumeru Logic School, Kaveh?"
Bai Ye recommended Kaveh to Keqing.
"Him? I've heard a merchant from Sumeru mention him briefly; he's a rising star architect. But would he be willing to come to Liyue to do design work?"
"Don't worry, he'll take care of it."
Bai Ye nodded firmly.
Those not close to Kaveh wouldn't know the current state of this architectural design master's heavy debt. If Bai Ye were to offer him a high price to design something, he would definitely agree. Especially since Bai Ye isn't the kind of client who nitpicks; he's quite sincere.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
Bai Ye nodded.
"I'll have someone from the Feiyun Commerce Guild deliver the message to Sumeru."
He said to Keqing.
Since the last incident, the Feiyun Commerce Guild had been tricked, and if it weren't for Bai Ye, they would have suffered a considerable loss. As a merchant guild that values its reputation, it naturally wouldn't let the matter rest so easily. Thus, the Feiyun Commerce Guild entered into considerable commercial competition with Sumeru and Dori.
Therefore, the Feiyun Commerce Guild currently has a considerable number of people in Sumeru. It wouldn't be difficult for Bai Ye to have the Feiyun Commerce Guild deliver the letter to Kaveh.
As it happened, the Feiyun Commerce Guild had a branch in Guili Plains at that moment, Bai Ye immediately wrote a letter to Kaveh to come and design the building.
When Eula looked for Laesg, he was standing at a crossroads watching the workers at work.
Even under direct sunlight, Laesg maintained impeccable attire, refusing to unbutton a single button even as sweat beaded on his forehead.
He's not Eula; he doesn't have the Ice-attribute Divine Eye. He truly took on the burden himself!
Looking at this guy, Eula felt like he was about to suffer from heatstroke.
Just as he was about to faint, a worker came over and said in a concerned tone, "Young man, why are you wearing such thick clothes and standing in the sun? Here, have some herbal tea. This is a prescription from Bai Shu Shuxian. We workers all drink this to prevent heatstroke."
"I..."
Laesg instinctively wanted to refuse, but he was too dizzy from the heat to speak. Just then, seeing that he was about to collapse, the worker quickly grabbed his mouth and forced him to drink cold tea.
They also took him to a shady spot.
Eula watched from behind, a slight smile creeping onto her lips.
After helping him to a shady spot, the worker gave Laesg a large gulp of the remaining herbal tea.
"Young man, rest here for now. If you still feel unwell, go to the Millelith at the crossroads for help; they will assist you."
The worker seemed to think that Laesg wasn't very bright, and even pointed out what Millelith looked like.
After saying that, he shook his head and left.
"Sigh, this foreign guy doesn't look bad, so how come he's an idiot?"
It wasn't until the workers had left that Laesg realized what was happening.
What did that just happen?! Who are you calling an idiot?!
How could I, the heir of the prestigious Lawrence Family, be in such a sorry state?
And that worker...
Although he still felt somewhat uneasy, Laesg clearly sensed the concern the worker had shown him earlier.
There was no discrimination involved; it was purely out of kindness and concern.
This would never happen in Mondstadt.
Others wouldn't care about me like that.
Of course, according to the general tradition of the Lawrence Family, they would not accept such concern.
In the common understanding of the Lawrence Family, this is an insult to them.
But now...
Watching the workers walk away, Laesg didn't know what to say.
Upon seeing this, Eula immediately went over.
"The way you're sitting on the ground in such a disheveled state shows absolutely no trace of the elegance a nobleman should have."
She said to Laesg.
"Eula, it's you?"
Upon seeing that it was Eula, a look of panic flashed in Laesg's eyes.
What is the most embarrassing thing for a person? It is when they are in a sorry state and happen to run into someone they know.
"I came here to see if you're plotting anything."
Eula directly expressed her suspicions about Laesg.
"A conspiracy? I didn't!"
Upon hearing Eula's words, Laesg immediately stood up and argued with her.
"I'm just thinking about whether it's feasible to bring a portion of the Lawrence Family here."
He spoke his truest thoughts directly.
"So, do you think it's feasible?"
Eula noticed something different in that person's eyes—an expression she rarely saw in Mondstadt. But in Liyue, it was everywhere.
This is understandable, though, since the people of Liyue have not suffered the disasters brought about by the Lawrence Family, so naturally they would not discriminate against them.
This made Eula wonder if it was really a good thing for the Lawrence Family to stay in Mondstadt.
"I don't know."
Laesg shook his head and said, "..."
"It's absolutely impossible for the Lawrence Family to regain its former glory in Mondstadt. Under these circumstances, the only way for the family to change is to relocate. But what about the people within the family..."
He didn't say, but both he and Eula knew perfectly well what the Lawrence Family's situation was.
And...
Laesg was also worried about something else: what if the Lawrence Family were taken advantage of by foreign countries?
Mondstadt could not possibly stand up for the Lawrence Family had moved out, and for Lawrence to have so much money was like a child carrying millions of Mora in the wilderness.
Looking at Laesg, who was genuinely thinking about the Lawrence Family, Eula asked, "Speaking of which, isn't your thinking rather unclear? What exactly are you thinking?"
"I didn't think about these things when I was in Mondstadt, but after traveling a lot, I've seen a lot more."
Laesg gave a wry smile and said, "..."
Eula nodded.
"It seems we need to let the Lawrence Family take a good look around before making any decisions. They're living too comfortably in Mondstadt."
Eula looked at Laesg and thought of a solution.
Nothing can change a person through a difficult journey.
The Lawrence Family still owns businesses in Mondstadt, so they can naturally act arrogantly. Now, by giving them a chance to travel around the world, they will naturally understand the good intentions of others.
Eula thought about it and realized that perhaps bringing out a small portion of the younger generation was a viable option.
Before the trip, Laesg was just as arrogant as the rest of the Lawrence Family. Now, after several close calls, isn't he much better?
Perhaps it's Mondstadt that keeps them stuck in the past and prevents them from changing.
However, regarding the second point...
Even Eula can't guarantee that it's absolutely safe.
After all, the only girl she knows in Liyue right now is that adorable girl who makes you want to take advantage of her.
Can he do it?
As Eula was considering, a girl with long coral hair walked over with a book in her hand.
It's Yanfei!?
Eula's eyes lit up when she saw Yanfei.
She only knew Yanfei in Liyue, and now that she had met her, she could go and inquire about Bai Ye's situation.
She took a few steps forward.
However, as he got closer to Yanfei, he became somewhat puzzled.
Why is she frowning like that? Is there something she's worried about?
"Yanfei?"
Eula greeted Yanfei.
"It's you!? How did you get to Liyue?"
Yanfei was pleasantly surprised to see Eula appear.
The relationship between the two sides is naturally very good.
She was an advisor on the merchant ship that transported the Abyss Order's dangerous goods, disguised as ordinary cargo, from Dornman Port to Liyue Harbor. It was then that she discovered something amiss with the cargo and began investigating without authorization, which led to her being discovered by the Abyss Order. If Eula and her team hadn't arrived in time, she might have been in serious trouble.
After that farewell, the two only corresponded by letter, so this meeting was naturally a pleasant surprise.
"Yes, it's me. I'm here because of something." Eula nodded, then asked Yanfei, "You looked worried just now. Is something wrong?"
Before asking yourself questions, help your friends solve theirs first.
"Nothing..."
Yanfei waved her hand, unwilling to say more.
Ever since she took control of Liyue Harbor, she has been thinking about protecting Bai Ye Xi Qing. To this end, she found an opportunity to go and find Ningguang on Tianquan.
At first, when Yanfei heard Yanfei say that she wanted to protect the feelings of the adults, Ningguang expression was still very sullen.
After all, she had high hopes for the children of Liyue Harbor.
They must be protected.
Then, she heard Yanfei say that the girl she wanted to protect was Bai Ye.
"Oh, he's a seasoned Bounty Hunter now, he can protect himself."
She said it without any concern.
Protect him?
If you protect him well, who will you flirt with?
Ningguang thought to herself.
And so, Yanfei was turned away by Ningguang.
Now that even Seven Stars was ignoring this matter, Yanfei felt frustrated.
"If all else fails, I'll go find my master."
She thought to herself.
While she was considering how to find Grandma Yu, she met Eula in Guili Village.
"I have some legal issues to deal with. First, tell me what you're doing in Liyue Harbor, and how I can help you."
As a legal advisor, she has quite a network of contacts.
"Hey, do you know a girl with white hair who's really cute?"
Eula said this, she pictured Bai Ye in her mind, and her face flushed.
When Yanfei heard Eula ask this question, she suddenly took several steps back and looked at her with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?"
Eula frowned and asked.
Is Bai Ye's identity so mysterious that it's hard to find out?
Then, Yanfei Fei said in a serious and earnest tone:
"Eula, you are a kind and upright person. Don't do anything illegal or criminal like those women!"
