"Wind's Guidance!" Lin Feng wielded the Favonius Sword, enveloped by a fierce gust of wind, while his Vision at his waist shimmered brilliantly.

"Icy Raging Waves!" Eula commanded, swiftly meeting Lin Feng's strike with her heavy sword.

With a metallic "clang!", Eula deflected Lin Feng's sword, sending it flying away.

"Hold on, I concede!" Lin Feng hastily called out, wearing a wry smile. Having just obtained his permanent Vision, he was immediately dragged into a match against Eula - how could he possibly stand a chance?!

"Hmph!" Eula let out a soft scoff, sparing Lin Feng and retracting her heavy sword.

"Captain..." At that moment, a scout approached Eula, appearing somewhat uneasy.

"What is it?" Eula's expression remained icy, as cold as unyielding frost, as she asked brusquely.

"A group of Fatui has been spotted near the snow-capped mountains, seemingly engaging with your uncle..." The scout hesitated, looking awkwardly at Eula.

Eula's eyebrows furrowed slightly; she was well aware of the current state of the Lawrence Clan, but she hadn't anticipated them reaching the point of collaborating with the Fatui.

"I understand. Proceed cautiously, do not get too close. I'll handle this!" Eula spoke firmly, tightening her grip on her sword.

To the Lawrence patriarch, she was seen as a traitor, and to the Knights, a potential mole. Now, she had to make a choice! Noticing Eula's intent to leave, Lin Feng silently decided to follow her.

Eula glanced at Lin Feng, who responded with a reassuring smile without saying a word. Reluctantly, Eula acquiesced, acknowledging his presence.

"So, have you decided to cooperate with us? Ha ha ha..." The Fatui squad leader looked at Schubert, chuckling as he awaited his response.

"As agreed, once Mondstadt is successfully occupied, the ruling authority will still belong to my Lawrence Clan!" Schubert, dressed in long robes, clenched his fists, appearing quite disheveled and defeated.

"Of course, the Fatui always keep our promises. Let's proceed!" The Fatui squad leader smiled reassuringly at Schubert.

After some hesitation, Schubert eventually stood up. He took a sip of wine before leading the way ahead.

"The majority of Mondstadt's historical artifacts were preserved by the Lawrence Clan. I fear the Fatui's ambitions run deep," Eula explained coldly, cautiously following behind them.

"Mm-hmm..." Lin Feng nodded, though he didn't fully grasp the implications.

Eula rolled her eyes at him. "Why are you nodding? It wasn't meant for your ears!"

Taken aback, Lin Feng turned around and realized the entire garrison squad was trailing closely behind.

***

Shortly after, following the Fatui, they arrived at a mountain cave.

"Here we are!" Schubert glanced at the Fatui and retrieved a blueprint from amidst a pile of explosives.

"Haha, excellent!" The Fatui member took the blueprint, his face beaming with delight.

"Oh, really now!" Eula, ever assertive, slowly stepped forward. The garrison squad members trailed behind her, their faces filled with anticipation. Catching such a big fish promised both verbal commendations and monetary rewards!

"You old fool, how dare you deceive us!" The Fatui member, visibly enraged, grabbed Schubert by the neck.

"Sword Guided by Wind!" Lin Feng commanded coldly, thrusting his sword forward. In an instant, he appeared beside the Fatui agent, swiftly slicing through his throat with a single strike!

During sparring sessions with Eula, Lin Feng always held back, mindful not to accidentally harm his wife!

Realizing the situation, the remaining Fatui quickly surrounded Lin Feng.

Eula, seeing this, promptly joined the fray. After a fierce battle, the garrison squad successfully apprehended all the Fatui members.

"Hmph! Do you really think Mondstadt will accept you now? As long as Lawrence blood flows through your veins, don't delude yourself into thinking you can escape!" Schubert sneered before being escorted away.

Eula stood frozen, silent for a moment. Lin Feng approached her and comforted, "Don't worry, let's ensure our future children carry the blood of the Lin family instead!"

With a sudden "thud," Eula punched Lin Feng right in the eye, leaving it looking like he had pulled an all-nighter with dark circles akin to a panda's.

"Hmph, I'll remember this grudge!" Eula huffed, lifting her head proudly, yet a faint smile played on her lips.

After her remark, Eula followed the garrison squad, escorting the captives towards Mondstadt.

Lin Feng, holding his bruised eye, couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

***

As the garrison squad escorted the captured Fatui members into the city, including Eula's uncle, it sparked numerous speculations among the onlookers.

"Isn't that Schubert from the Lawrence Clan? Always so sour and clinging to those outdated rituals. How did he get caught?"

"Could it be that Eula arrested her own uncle for some merit-seeking scheme?"

"Haha, dog-eat-dog situation - I love watching this!"

***

In Mondstadt, speculations and discussions ran rampant among its citizens.

Within the Knights' headquarters, Jean surveyed the captured Fatui members, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Captain Jean, these individuals were attempting to collude with Schubert when we apprehended them on the spot!" Eula explained, arms crossed before her.

"Hmm!" Nodding, Jean instructed the Knights of Favonius to imprison the Fatui agents. As for Schubert, he would undoubtedly face his own consequences as well.

***

"According to Mondstadt's frontline news reporter, Eula, Captain of the Reconnaissance Company, led her team successfully dismantling the Fatui's plot. Due to Eula's exceptional performance, Captain Jean has decided to appoint Spindrift Knight Eula as the Deputy Captain of the Knights..."

Upon reading this news, Lin Feng grinned widely, almost as if he himself had been appointed as the deputy captain.

***

Initially, Eula was ecstatic, but as she walked through Mondstadt, she noticed that the usual leniency people had shown her in the past seemed to have vanished.

"She's from the Lawrence Clan, after all. Just look at that cold-hearted demeanor. To gain recognition, she even arrested her own uncle!"

"I suspect this is part of the Lawrence Clan's plot - aiming for Eula to ascend within the Knights' hierarchy and regain control over Mondstadt from above!"
