Oh? Eula, you really dare to do this! You idiot, don't you understand that it doesn't matter how you fight with me, what matters is that you can't disobey your father!

"No, father!" Eula refused, made up her mind, and clenched her fists again, "Even if father says so, I will do this today!"

"what!"

The Lawrence family head was surprised. What does Eula mean by this? She would rather be kicked out of the house and have no relationship with me than listen to me as a father!

Rebellion, rebellion! Eula has really grown wings! In front of so many people, she said such treasonous words!

"you you……"

The head of the Lawrence family pointed at Eula angrily and wanted to say something, but he was too angry to say anything. He just felt the rage gushing out from his heart and flowing through his body. His face turned red with anger, his breathing became difficult, and his heart was beating rapidly.

Eula withdrew her gaze from her father. The important thing now was to beat Ren Zha!

Damn it, this Ren Zha is now pretending to be obedient and letting me do what I want to him. Since you don’t resist, then I won’t be polite!

Youla aimed her fist at Renzha's face.

She took action!

"puff--!"

With a spitting sound, liquid dripped onto the arm that Eula was about to hit. Eula stared at her arm with wide eyes. It was red blood.

This, this is...

The fist that was about to hit out stopped again. Eula looked up at her father again and saw her father grabbing the railing upstairs, his body staggering, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

It goes without saying who spat out this blood.

"Master! The master is so angry at the young lady that he vomited blood!" The chef beside him hurriedly supported the unsteady Lawrence family master and gave orders to other servants, "Quick! Go call the doctor!"

Father, I was so angry that he vomited blood!

Youla's eyes were dull, and her grip on Ren Zha's hand loosened instantly, as if she had gone dumbfounded.

"father……"

Just as Youla opened her mouth to say something, Ren Zha, who had been put down, drowned out Youla's voice with a louder voice: "Father! What's wrong with you!" Ren Zha shouted while running upstairs. He ran to the side of the Lawrence family as fast as he could and supported the other side of the family. He anxiously shouted to the servants, "Quick! Call the doctor as quickly as possible!" After shouting to the servants, he supported the Lawrence family and asked with concern, "Father, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I, cough, cough, cough..." The head of the Lawrence family coughed a few times, looked at Ren Zha who rushed to his side to show concern for him, and then looked at Youla who was still standing stupidly downstairs. He suddenly became angry and pointed at Youla, coughing and shouting, "Rebellious girl! Rebellious girl! Get out! Get out!"

Continuous coughing, even coughing up blood.

"Father, don't be angry anymore. Your health is important!" Ren Zha kept persuading him.

Oh, just let me stay angry like this! It would be best if I get sick from being angry, and then let Eula regret this for the rest of her life!

Looking at her father vomiting blood, Eula's sanity, which had been lost due to anger, gradually returned.

What on earth have I done!

Not only did I fail to beat Ren Zha, but I also made my father so angry! Now my father wants to drive me away, I...what should I do now!

Eula was confused again. In the eyes of the head of the Lawrence family, Eula just stood there without any reaction, as if she was angry with him. She didn't come to support him like Ren Zha did... He became even angrier!

Why is there such a huge difference between people? If Eula were half as sensible as Ren Zha, no, one tenth as sensible as Ren Zha, that would be great!

"Cough, cough, cough..." The head of the Lawrence family couldn't stop coughing again.

Ren Zha naturally hoped that Youla would be kicked out and never return to the Lawrence family again, so that the biggest threat to him would be eliminated. But Ren Zha also knew clearly that the current head of the Lawrence family was just saying something angry when he wanted to drive Youla away. Even if Youla left now, the next day or after a period of time, when the head of the Lawrence family had calmed down, he would regret it and would go to great lengths to get Youla back.

Being the biological daughter and the designated future heir of the Lawrence family, this is Eula's natural advantage. As long as she has this identity, no matter how big a mistake Eula makes, she will eventually be forgiven.

It's really disgusting.

Therefore, what I have to do is definitely not to take the opportunity to drive Eula out. Even if I drive her out once, twice, or three times, Eula will eventually return to the Lawrence family. This is meaningless at all. So what I have to do is to continuously raise the head of the family's evaluation of me!

Before I grow up, I still need the financial support of this guy who is even more stupid than Eula. Humph, let me add fuel to the fire!

"Father..." Ren Zha gritted his teeth. Under the gaze of Patriarch Lawrence, Ren Zha hesitated again and again. He wanted to say something, but was reluctant to say it. He looked at Eula below, then at Patriarch Lawrence's face. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "No, Patriarch..."

"Huh? Ren Zha, what's wrong with you?" Lawrence asked in a hoarse voice that had not yet returned to normal. Why doesn't this child call me dad?

"Master, all these disputes are caused by me..." Ren Zha let go of the hand that was supporting the Lawrence family head, took a few steps back, and bowed to the Lawrence family head. "Thank you for your education. If it weren't for me, the Master and Miss Youla wouldn't have had any disputes. So, sorry, please let me leave the Lawrence family."

Chapter 20 We Will All Grow

Leave Lawrence's house? Humph, I won't really leave. I will leave like a loser! Even if I say so, he will never really let me leave!

Eula, with this comparison, I will put you on the grill now, just like the rabbit I roasted at the beginning, rolling back and forth on the flames!

Youla stared at Ren Zha. She naturally hoped that Ren Zha, this bastard, would leave her home, but he took the initiative to bring it up. It must be a conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy against me! What are you planning?

The words of Ren Zha made the head of the Lawrence family stunned, and then he looked at the guardrail in front of him: "Nonsense! Eula is ignorant, you want to irritate me too! Ren Zha, there is nothing for you to do here, go back to your room!"

Ren Zha was still hesitating: "Master..."

"Call me father! Are you going to be like this rebellious girl and not listen to me?"

"Don't dare..."

"Since you don't dare, I will pretend that I didn't hear anything you said just now. Go back! Today I will punish this rebellious girl and give you an explanation!"

"I understand, Father."

Ren Zha bowed respectfully to the head of the Lawrence family again, and then went back to his room. Before leaving, he looked at Eula below, turned his head, and smiled wildly on his face where no one could see.

I knew it would be like this. I have completely guessed what these idiots are up to! I will use everything I can, Eula, your growth is not enough!

Although I have joined the Lawrence family, I do not have pure Lawrence blood after all, and you are the eldest daughter of the head of the family. The educational resources we can enjoy in the future will be completely different. But in this way, I will gain more trust from your father, and I will be able to gain more rights and interests in the future!

Eula, just stay here and enjoy your father's scolding.

This time, Ren Zha left without looking back.

The head of the Lawrence family looked at the well-behaved Ren Zha, and even preferred to leave the Lawrence family in order to avoid a quarrel between himself and his daughter. Then he looked at the always rebellious Eula. No matter what he said today, he must severely punish this disobedient daughter!

Ren Zha had no idea what happened in the hall next. Later he heard from the servants that the master and the young lady had a big quarrel, and in the end Youla ran out crying, covering her swollen face, and the master was so angry that he coughed up blood and almost fainted.

It was such a great show. It was a pity that I didn’t get to see the ugly behavior of those people in person.

Afterwards, Eula ran to Amber's house again. This was the only place Eula could think of outside. The head of the Lawrence family naturally knew where Eula would run to, and immediately sent someone to bring Eula back and put her in solitary confinement. At night, Eula secretly ran out again, picked up the rabbit's bones that had not been thrown away, dug a hole outside, and buried all the bones.

"Ren Zha..."

While filling the hole, Eula angrily muttered someone's name.

The servants at home also helped Youla look for the rabbit at night, but they couldn't find it after searching Lawrence's house. Finally, they judged that the rabbit might have really run away from the house without being noticed this time, and maybe one day it would run back again, although the hope was slim. As for the rabbit in the kitchen, the chef investigated it but couldn't find anything. He speculated that some careless guy might have put it in the wrong place, but no one dared to come out to admit it after the incident became so serious. Because of Ren Zha's usual friendliness, no one suspected that it was Ren Zha who did it. The chef wanted to ask everyone one by one, but Lawrence gave the order in the end. There was no need to make everyone sleepless at night because of that useless and rebellious girl. It was just a rabbit. If it was lost, it was lost. At worst, they could just raise another one. So everyone went to rest and the matter ended.

Eula firmly believed that the rabbit was not lost at all, and the one that was eaten was her pet.

"What do you mean by raising another one? It has a completely different meaning..."

When she went to Amber's house before, Amber comforted Eula after she knew about it and told her not to take it too seriously. If she liked the rabbit, she could give her another one. However, Eula refused. She felt that she owed Amber more and more, and even if she raised another one, the ending would not be much better.

After burying the rabbit, Eula went back in a daze. During the following confinement, "Amber" no longer accompanied me.

Eula returned to her room and slept in bed for two hours before she was awakened by a nightmare. After waking up, she remembered the death of "Amber" and the grievances she had suffered all along, and she cried.

Crying alone in the room, with no one to comfort her or accompany her, Eula felt more lonely and isolated than ever before.

In another room, Ren Zha crossed his arms in front of him, thinking with a defiant look on his face.

"I killed Eula's pet, made her eat her pet meat, and then made her face punishment. I finally avenged myself, but..."

Ren Zha recalled Eula's reaction after she took Amber's first kiss.

"I never thought that Eula actually had that kind of spirit. I underestimated her. She is the kind of person who will grow and become stronger the more she is oppressed."

"Although I kept irritating her, at the same time, I was also constantly irritated by Eula. I shouldn't have fought with Eula outside today, nor should I have thought of stabbing Eula with a dinner knife at home. There were obviously more appropriate ways to deal with it. Fortunately, a group of idiots didn't see anything. But this is my shortcoming. I can easily get angry and lose my mind because of things that are out of my control. I need to reflect on this."

The look on Ren Zha's face changed and became firm:

"I must learn to control my emotions more calmly. Eula is growing up, and I must also constantly face myself and continue to grow."

Ren Zha then clenched his fists, thinking of the ice-attributed God's Eye that Eula had obtained.

"Eula has obtained the Eye of God. The gap in strength between us will become larger and larger. I must obtain strength that matches her."

Where exactly is the power that belongs to me, Ren Zha? Can I, Ren Zha, obtain the Eye of God?

"No, instead of pursuing the sight of the illusory gods, I must hone myself and make myself stronger. Starting tomorrow, I will apply to learn martial arts. I can endure hardships, work harder, and be more focused than Eula. This is my advantage. I must use my advantage to make myself stronger. It's just the Eye of God. Even if I, Ren Zha, don't have the Eye of God, you, Eula, can't win!"

"Eula, from now on, let me be a little nicer to you."

The moonlight outside the window shone on Ren Zha's resolute and fierce face.

As time passed, Ren Zha and Youla grew up.

Chapter 21: Harmonious and Friendly Brother and Sister

Recently, the Hilichurls outside Mondstadt have blocked the trade route again. The merchants reported this to the Knights Templar hoping that the Knights would come forward to deal with the Hilichurls gathered in the wild. The Knights Templar, known as the Nanny of Mondstadt, sent knights to the place indicated by the merchants to fight the Hilichurls, but when they arrived, some people had already started fighting with the Hilichurls.

"broken!"

It was a blue-haired woman holding a big sword. She swung the sword and easily smashed the wooden shield in the hand of the Hilichurl in front of her. The power did not decrease. The whole sword body hit the Hilichurl and knocked him down.

"That's Eula from the Lawrence family!"

The Knights recognized the identity of this woman, Eula Lawrence, the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family. At a young age, she obtained the God's Eye with ice attribute and could wield the giant sword with ease.

The Knights also saw that Eula was not the only one here. Not far away, there was a yellow-haired man dealing with the Hilichurls on the other side.

Just as Eula was concentrating on dealing with the Hilichurl in front of her, a Hilichurl holding a torch came from behind and rushed towards Eula's back with a strange dance step.

"Watch your back!"

The Knights shouted loudly to Eula that they were still some distance away from the Hilichurls and could not help Eula, so they could only remind her loudly. Although the people of Mond generally disliked Lawrence, as knights, they could not remain indifferent when they saw someone being attacked by Hilichurls.

Hearing the reminder, Eula turned around, but someone beside her was faster. Ren Zha rushed to Eula at an extremely fast speed. He easily stopped the Torch Hillock Man who was rushing towards him with one hand, and punched the Torch Hillock Man in the face with the other hand. The powerful force knocked the Torch Hillock Man's head to the other side, and the mask on his face was directly shattered. His whole body was knocked flying and fell to the ground. His body bounced a few times and then there was no movement.

"One punch, one punch will take care of the Hilliard!"

The members of the Knights cooperated and made surprised sounds, but no one was hurt, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ren Zha collectively.

Renzha Lawrence, although also a member of the Lawrence family, is not a pure Lawrence. His hometown is Liyue. When he was young, his parents died of illness and he came to Mondstadt to join the Lawrence clan. He was adopted as an adopted son by the patriarch of the Lawrence family and was given the surname Lawrence. He became Eula's sworn brother. Although he does not have the Eye of God, he practices martial arts day and night, and his strength is not much worse than the holder of the Eye of God.

Moreover, compared to Eula who always has a cold face, Ren Zha, who does not have the blood of Lawrence, is hardworking, diligent and friendly, so he is more popular with the people in the city.

While the Knights were thinking about the intelligence of the two, Ren Zha looked at Eula who turned back, smiled at her in a friendly manner, and said helplessly: "Sister, pay attention to your back, be careful."

"I know! You should be more careful too!"

Eula also smiled kindly at Ren Zha, glanced at the Knights, and continued to fight the Hilichurls opposite her. She had already killed quite a few of them before, and when the Knights just came over, the two of them had already worked together to kill the last Hilichurl in this place.

After the battle was resolved, Ren Zha patted his clothes and brushed off the dust on his body like a gentleman. He stood beside Youla and said, "Finally, it's resolved. This group of hillbillies has been blocking here, making it inconvenient for the hunters in Qingquan Town to deliver goods to our house."

Youla nodded in agreement, remembering that Ren Zha had just stopped the hillbilly behind her, and thanked him: "Thank you for that."

Ren Zha chuckled: "Sister, what are you talking about? We are all family, why should we say thank you?"

"Yes, it was me who was abrupt."

Listening to what the siblings said, the Knights were all thinking, "As expected of a siblings, they have such a good relationship. They are not blood relatives, but they are better than real siblings."

After Ren Zha finished talking to Youla, he waved to the Knights and said hello: "Are you also here to clean up this place? Sorry, I think you may have come here for nothing."

The leader of the knights waved his hands and said, "No, it's better if the Hillilchur are eliminated. There's nothing to be lost in running. Since the mission target has been solved, we will return to Mondstadt."

"Then I won't disturb your work. Goodbye."

After a friendly exchange, the Knights left. No one spoke to Eula. It was Ren Zha who communicated the whole time. After the Knights left, Ren Zha spread his hands towards Eula and said, "Sister, you don't have to be so gloomy all the time. I heard that you want to join the Knights? If you keep doing this, you will be ostracized, right?"

Eula asked curiously, "How did you know?"

"Father has been talking about this a lot recently. He has been angry about this for a long time. The relationship between our Lawrence family and the Knights is not that friendly. If you really want to join the Knights, why don't you be more tactful and tell father? For example, I studied Mond's laws and the Knights' manual, and told father that I learned these in order to help the Lawrence family regain control of Mond. Wouldn't father have no objection at all?"

Youla curled her lips, and Ren Zha gave up and said, "Okay, I know you are not good at talking about these things. Now that the things father asked us to do have been resolved, let's go home and report to father."

Youla nodded. After Ren Zha turned around, Youla looked at his back and couldn't help thinking, "How long has it been since Ren Zha officially became my family's adopted son and called my father 'Dad'? Now, although Ren Zha and I talked like we did just now, I actually don't have any family affection for him, not even friendship between friends. Ren Zha is so good and normal now, but why... am I too vindictive?"

Memories of the past flashed through Eula's mind, including the first time Ren Zha came to Lawrence's house, how he kicked his pet rabbit away when he got off the carriage, how he hit his feet with a box on the stairs at home, how he knocked her down and verbally insulted her in the martial arts field, how he took away Amber's first kiss, how he fought with her, and how he killed his pet rabbit... One by one, the past events kept appearing in Eula's mind.

After that incident, Ren Zha seemed to have become a different person. He seemed to be worried about his father's health, so he stopped arguing with me and became closer to me. He became more sensible and became the ideal brother I had always hoped for...

However, I still have doubts about what happened back then, and even feel a little scared about Ren Zha’s true face... Ren Zha, have you really changed?

From this direction, Youla could only see Ren Zha's back. With his back to Youla, the friendly expression on Ren Zha's face that he had previously shown to everyone disappeared and gradually became cold.
