The hillside north of Liyue Harbor.

Mo Ran, dressed in black, flashed and turned into a ray of lightning, passing straight through the protective shield and returning home without anyone noticing.

It was very late at night, and everything seemed to be silent. The three children in the house should all be asleep. Mo Ran looked at the bright moon hanging in the dark night outside the window and smiled faintly.

…………

Time passed quickly and more than ten days had passed. Mo Ran continued his previous life. Liyue Harbor, under the control of the Liyue Seven Stars, gradually eased from the depressing atmosphere caused by the Emperor's departure.

The blond boy and the white-haired floating object who came from a foreign land were also accustomed to going back and forth in Liyue Harbor every day, dealing with trivial matters.

On this day, Mo Ran sat at the stone table in the yard, sipping tea quietly. Sitting with him was Yue Haiting's most responsible secretary, the half-immortal beast, Gan Yu.

"Um, Lord Mo Ran, is it really okay if I don't go back to handle the work now?" Gan Yu was very worried, because Yue Haiting's work was indeed very busy. What if other people didn't handle it well and thus delayed important matters? How could she be worthy of the Rock King Emperor who had already returned to heaven!

Mo Ran sighed. He had kept Ganyu here for more than ten days. After all, in order to let this workaholic completely integrate into Liyue Harbor, he first needed to let her put down her busy work and pay attention to the meaning of her existence.

Then appeal to their emotions and explain the reason to them until they are completely convinced. This way, there will be no alienation in their hearts due to lack of understanding of their own position.

Mo Ran said earnestly, "It's okay. Although you are the most capable and hardworking person in Liyue Harbor, if we send more people to handle it, nothing serious will happen."

"But..." Ganyu's face was still full of worry, and she still wanted to fight for it so that she could go back to work, even though she had been a little dazed recently and had a question in her mind.

Since the era of immortal rule is over, should she, an awkward existence with half immortal beast blood and half human blood, leave and retire to Jueyunjian?

Just as Ganyu was wavering in her thoughts, a very familiar young female voice came. It was the traveler Kong and his guide and emergency food Paimon. The latter was slightly surprised and said, "Ms. Ganyu, you are actually here! Aren't you usually at Yuehai Pavilion during this time?"

Gan Yu looked up at the two people who were approaching and said, "You two, I didn't expect to meet you here. Is this for business or personal matters?"

After saying that, Gan Yu realized something was wrong and quickly added, "No, I am now executing the vacation plan that Mr. Mo Ran has made. If it is about business port affairs, please go to Yuehai Pavilion for consultation."

Sora pondered, "Vacation? But the last time we met, didn't Miss Ganyu say that maintaining the current Liyue Harbor still requires the joint efforts of many people?"

"Yes, Miss Ganyu was dragged here for vacation by Mo Ran. She shouldn't be fired, right?" Paimon said inexplicably, "But Ganyu actually vacationed here. Is she really not busy at work anymore?"

In the eyes of the two, Ganyu can be said to be the model worker of Liyue Harbor. Almost every time they meet, the other party looks like she is only thinking about work and has no time to rest, so she is always drowsy.

Gan Yu glanced at the man in black who didn't express any opinion, and chose to tell the truth, "Actually, it's not entirely Mr. Mo Ran's fault. The main reason is that I am also a little confused, so I am hiding from reality here."

"Confused." Paimon looked puzzled and asked, "Why? What happened?"

Because Mo Ran called Gan Yu out in advance, the two of them did not come into contact with the secretaries in Yuehai Pavilion who had taken over the work of their predecessors and were busy with their work.

"The clouds roll and the tides rise and fall, it's just the choice of history." Gan Yu said a little sadly, "Since the last time the immortals returned the supervision of Liyue Harbor to the people, I have guessed that the future will probably be like this."

"It's just that from now on, it's not a vacation, but a true retirement from the world. Since Mr. Mo Ran asked me to rest for a while, I can use this time to think carefully about whether to stay or go."

"Because, even though I have immortal blood, I don't have a place to stay in Liyue Harbor. Now, my job must have been replaced by someone else. Mr. Mo Ran said that there shouldn't be any big problems."

"Traveler, Paimeng, that's why Mr. Mo Ran let me rest for a while. Please don't blame Mr. Mo Ran."

Paimeng scratched his head and said, "Although I feel that what Ganyu said makes some sense, it sounds like she is defending Mo Ran!"

Gan Yu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect her intention to be so obvious, but she still said seriously: "It's not entirely to protect Mr. Mo Ran. I feel that my leisurely life now, watching the floating clouds of the world, makes me feel very peaceful. That's good."

"Well, but..." Paimeng wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Mo Ran: "Well, no matter how hardworking a person is, he still needs to rest. Ganyu rarely has a day off, so let's not talk about those annoying things."

Paimeng spread his hands and said, "Okay. By the way, Ganyu just said that she wanted to leave the mortal world because of the immortal bloodline. Why is that?"

Paimon was as straightforward as ever, not caring at all about causing any signs that wouldn't otherwise have occurred.

Mo Ran glanced at Gan Yu, who was hesitant to speak, and explained softly, "Prejudices in people's hearts are like a mountain. Now that Liyue has entered an era of human rule, everything related to the immortals is naturally at the forefront."

"Ganyu is not only Yue Haiting's secretary, but also a fairy. That's why I let her take a break for a while and think about her future."

"So that's how it is. I'm sorry, Ganyu." Paimon bowed his head and apologized, with guilt on his face, because during this time, they also discovered that although Liyue Harbor seems peaceful, there are actually undercurrents.

Kong also apologized, and then said: "By the way, Mo Ran, just now..."

"Hey, Uncle Mo, long time no see!" A very lively female voice came from outside the door. You didn't even need to look to know who it was.

Mo Ran smiled and said to Nuo Yu: "Xiao Yanfei is back. I wonder which of my children she is going to lead astray this time?"

Yan Fei smiled back and said, "Oh, Uncle Mo, don't keep harping on this! I just came back after a lot of effort, and I haven't even been back to my grandma's place yet!"

Mo Ran said gently, "Well, you are a good kid. Come, let me introduce you to each other. This is Kong, a traveler who came all the way from Mondstadt, and his guide, Paimon."

"This is Yan Fei, a professional legal consultant in Liyue Harbor. She is also Grandma Ping's godson, my good niece, and one of the people who led Qiqi astray."

When Mo Ran said the word "good niece", he gritted his teeth, which showed how much resentment he had in his heart.

“Hello, I’m Yan Fei. If you have any questions regarding Liyue laws, or if you want to sue someone, you can come to me!” The red-haired girl was very lively, and was no less lively than the current hall master.

So, they quickly became familiar with each other. Yan Fei had heard more or less about the traveler's deeds and praised him highly. Mo Ran looked at their noise and just smiled slightly. Gan Yu was still thinking about where to go.

"By the way, since Kong and Paimon came from Mondstadt, that means you should know Eula, right? This time, it was thanks to her that I was able to return to Liyue Harbor safely." Speaking of this matter, Yan Fei was still a little scared.

If Yan Fei had not happened to meet the helpful Wave Knight at that time, she would most likely not have been able to come back. Although no one knew why a being with immortal blood could be less powerful than a person who only possessed the Eye of God.

Paimon said in surprise: "Eula! Did she follow you here?!" As she said that, she looked at the man in black with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

Yan Fei shook her head and said, "No, she said there was someone she was waiting for in Mondstadt, and she was afraid that she would get worried if she couldn't find her when she came back, so she sent me to the Stone Gate and then returned to Mondstadt."

"I see. Eula is really a loyal person. It seems that others can't take advantage of her!" Paimon seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words.

Mo Ran sighed slightly, smiled and shook his head slightly, without responding.

As for why she was laughing, perhaps it was because she heard the joy of the person in her heart, or maybe she was secretly sighing that Yan Fei met someone she should call aunt, but she didn't know how to do it.
