"Captain Qin, there's no need to keep thanking me. This is my job." Mo Ran said with a smile.

"No!" Qin shook her head, put her hand on her chest and said solemnly: "This thank you has nothing to do with anything else. It only represents my gratitude to you as the acting leader."

Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "If Captain Qin really wants to thank me, then reduce the number of missions that Eula has to go out on. I haven't seen her for almost two days!"

Qin knew he was joking, so she didn't care. "Then you can wait until you are promoted to deputy head and make the arrangements yourself."

"Lend your auspicious words."

…………

In the afternoon, Mo Ran was practicing elemental power in the office.

Boom...Boom boom

"Assistant Officer Moran, the prisoner wants to confess, but he requires you to go in person." said the Knight of Favonius outside the door.

Mo Ran dispersed the elemental creatures that were changing shapes and sizes at will, walked out of the room and into the detention room.

"You're here." In the room, Wu Zhongyao was extremely calm, and even his tone did not fluctuate.

Qin and several Knights of Favonius stood behind Mo Ran, waiting for He Zhongyao's confession.

Mo Ran nodded and said, "I'm here, tell me who's behind you!"

"I can tell you, but before that, I have some questions for you. I'll confess once you've asked them."

"Okay, ask, I'll try my best to answer." Mo Ran straightened his posture and waited for his questions.

"That day, I said I was dissatisfied. I was dissatisfied with the Knights letting a child be a Knight of Favonius. Now I don't understand why I am worse than her. Tell me, how am I worse than her?"

"Still struggling with this. Well...even though Klee is a child, she is kind-hearted and considerate of others. She meets the standards of a knight."

"That's all?" Wu Zhongyao paused. He didn't expect such an answer.

Mo Ran said as a matter of course: "What else? You also said that she is still a child. Of course, in addition to these, Klee can also make bombs. She is indeed better than you."

"What do you say about Lawrence's sinner? I've heard you've been helping her out."

"Lawrence was a sinner in the past, but Eula was not. Her contributions far outweigh those who say she is a sinner all the time."

Mo Ran continued: "Before asking this question, you should think about whether it is caused by your own prejudice."

"I see, prejudice?" Yan Zhongyao thought for a moment, then said, "But what right does Noelle have? She usually just helps others a lot!"

"Noelle's helping others without caring about herself is indeed too much, but it's okay if she corrects herself a little. Besides, she usually reads books in the library when she has nothing to do."

"The knights I have accumulated are many in number. Things all need to be looked at from two or more sides. Wherever the sun shines, there will be shadows, not to mention other things."

After listening to this, Wu Zhongyao seemed to have a sudden realization, and many things became clear to him. "The last question is, after going through such pain, why are you still so strong? Don't you hate this world?"

"I hated it, of course I hated it! At that time, I wondered why I had to suffer this kind of suffering, why everyone treated me like this, and I wished the world would just disappear."

"But why are you the adjutant of the Knights Templar now? Why exactly?" Wu Zhongyao was eager to know the answer.

"Because I encountered something that I cherish, I want to protect it. Of course, I can't give up on myself and complain about myself!" A smile appeared on Mo Ran's face.

"I understand..." Wu Zhongyao sighed and said, "The evil eye you mentioned was given to me by Wu Chi, a reserve knight of the Knights Templar. It was also his idea to print those pictures."

Wu Zhongyao's expression and tone were still as calm as water, and he didn't seem to be lying.

"It turned out to be him! This is unexpected." Mo Ran began to think about how to settle accounts with this traitor who had harmed him and Eula.

Qin began to gather a team to go to Nozi Youbin to capture him, but Mo Ran stopped her and said, "Don't bother. He should have escaped long ago. Just send a few knights over to put some pressure on his family."

"Let's focus our efforts on searching inside and outside the city!"

Qin nodded and said, "Do as Officer Mo Ran said. The cavalry will follow me to search the main road outside the city!"

The crowd immediately took action, each doing their own job and preparing to set off. Mo Ran asked Kaiya for a horse, rode it and followed the team to the city gate.

"Greetings to Captain Qin, greetings to Captain Kaia, and greetings to Officer Mo Ran! Please follow my lead." The two men on guard performed the knight's salute and greeted each other repeatedly.

"Hello, have you seen Wu Chi leaving the city?" Qin asked.

The fatter knight replied, "Yes, he just took a carriage out of the city for a while. I guess he didn't go far."

"Thank you. We'll chase them!" Qin rode his horse in the front, and the group ran across the bridge outside Mondstadt in a mighty manner.

At the fork in the road, they set out in several teams. Kaia took two people to the Whispering Forest, the cavalry lieutenant led people to Qingquan Town, and the other two cavalry teams went to Dadau Canyon where the wind rose.

Qin Ze and Mo Ran headed towards Shimen together. Since Wu Chi was riding in a carriage, they would have to abandon the carriage if they wanted to cross the forest and mountains, so they only needed to chase him along the main road. If they saw an abandoned carriage on the road, they could make further plans.

Da-da-da-da!

The horses were running very fast, stirring up clouds of sand. The two men chased along the road and did not see any parked carriages.

When they reached the stone gate and headed north a short distance, they finally saw a richly decorated carriage, with Qin approaching quickly with a horse and shouting, "Knights of Favonius, get off the carriage and be inspected!"

There was no response from the carriage for a long time. Mo Ran could not wait any longer. He condensed the elemental power of rock to restrain the wheels of the carriage. Then he jumped onto the carriage and threw Wu Chi out.

"Run! Keep running!" Mo Ran turned his wrist, making a crackling sound.

"The efficiency of the Knights is quite high this time! Haha, but it's useless even if you catch me, because my family is a noble family in the city! Hahaha——" Wu Chi laughed disdainfully.

Qin said at the right time: "The Naozi Youbin family can only be regarded as wealthy businessmen, not nobles, and there is no distinction between nobles and commoners in Mondstadt today."

"Nonsense! If you are not from the Gunhild family, do you think you can become the acting leader? Today I will restore the glory of the nobility!" Wu Chi took out the evil eye and shouted ferociously.

But the evil eye in his hand was kicked away by Mo Ran, "Are you guys mentally ill? You have to talk nonsense before fighting."

After saying that, Mo Ran kicked him again, making him unable to stand up. He looked around and said slowly: "I was wondering why you didn't run to the forest to hide, it turns out there are reinforcements!"

Several teams of Fatui advance teams appeared at both ends of the road. Qin drew her sword and rushed towards the enemies on one side. The Eye of the Wind Elemental God was shining, and the West Wind Swordsmanship made the Fatui members defenseless.

Mo Ran condensed a rock creature to suppress Wu Chi, and then burst out with elemental power, condensing a rock elemental sword.

"The Rock Shocks the World!" Mo Ran killed one group of them with one sword, and the rest fell to the ground with serious injuries. He killed the rest with another sword, and Qin was also done.

"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, colluding with the Fatui to use the Evil Eye, intending to murder the acting leader and the Knight's Officer of Favonius, and instigating others to endanger social security."

"These few points combined should be enough for me to execute you." Mo Ran placed the big sword on Wu Chi's neck. With just a slight move, the man's head would fall to the ground.

"No, no! Don't kill me, don't kill me! Captain Qin, please save me, save me--" Wu Chi's limbs were trembling and he shouted anxiously.

"Mo Ran, please don't kill me. I can give you Mora, I can give you a lot of Mora, as long as you don't kill me!"

Seeing this situation, Qin didn't know how to persuade him. It was an indisputable fact that Wu Chi had previously harmed Youla and this incident was set in stone.

Finally, Qin made up her mind and said, "Mo Ran, when you're done, come find me over there. I'm leaving first."

After saying this, she walked away and looked at the setting sun, the afterglow shining on her beautiful face.

At the same place, Wu Chi was in despair, and Mo Ran sneered.

"I was originally planning to wait for you to leave the city before I took action, but you bumped into me."

"We should settle our accounts. You tricked Eula into going to kill monsters, causing her and me to lose half our lives. Given our relationship, I'll ask for this half life for her. She won't mind."

"That's a life, so go on your way!" Mo Ran raised the sword high and chopped it down fiercely.

Wu Chi was broken into two pieces. Mo Ran pulled a piece of cloth from the carriage to cover it and went to Qin.

"What happened?" When Qin saw him coming, she already had the answer in her mind, she just wanted to ask about the condition of the body.

"It broke in two. Sorry, I couldn't stop myself."

Qin shook her head and said, "No need to apologize. It's just that we have to bring the body back to Mondstadt, announce Wu Chi's crime, and give an explanation to his family."

"Understood. I'll go get the carriage." Mo Ran walked back, put away his evil eye, threw the corpse back into the carriage, and sat in the driver's seat.

Qin was riding her horse alone in the front. The cavalry's horses were very smart and knew it was time to go back, so they followed closely.

Under the setting sun, the shadows of people, horses and cars gradually lengthened, but the shadows of people never overlapped, always keeping a distance.
