The next morning, Mo Ran, who was sitting on a chair, opened his eyes, looked at the empty chair opposite him, and stood up and walked to the half-closed door.

Through the door, Mo Ran saw Ms. Alice, who had run out in the middle of the night last night, squatting on the ground, fiddling with several bottles of potion reagents of different colors.

"This, plus this, um, after a little more purification, there should be no problem!" Alice jumped up excitedly. She was still full of energy after not sleeping all night.

"Ms. Alice, private experiments are prohibited in Liyue Harbor!" Mo Ran said with a sly grin.

"Oh, really?" Alice took out a piece of paper from her backpack. "Take a look, what is this?"

"Didn't you just arrive yesterday to get permission from the General Affairs Department of Liyue Harbor? How did you find the time to get it?" Mo Ran couldn't help but wonder, is there a traitor in the General Affairs Department? This possibility is very small, but it is not impossible.

Just as Mo Ran was guessing, Alice purified the potion, put it in her backpack, and ran away swaggeringly.

As she ran, she looked back and said with a smile, "My dear son, you don't have to see me off because I'm going out!"

Mo Ran was furious, "Who is your son!" He closed the shop door, dodged and caught up with the elf lady in a few breaths.

However, it was too late, the potion had been consumed by the stuttering Thousand Rocks Army, not a drop left.

Mo Ran didn't know how Alice made this young man trust her. Logically speaking, since he had already joined the Thousand Rocks Army, his awareness of vigilance and precautions should not be too bad, but this guy actually drank the medicine given to him by someone he just met.

It is truly incredible, hard to measure and impossible to fathom.

After drinking the potion, Qianyanjun did stop stuttering, but he had a new problem. Xinghuo, his friend since childhood, asked, "What's wrong? Ai Ke, try to say something."

"What's going on? Ai Ke, try to say something."

He went from being a stutterer to a parrot, which seemed even worse than being a stutterer. The culprit, Alice, had disappeared into the sky, and only a figure in black was still following closely.

Alice turned around and spit out the sparrow in her mouth, muttering, "There's no need to follow so closely, right? You're already so old, and you still miss your mother so much?"

"I'll say it again, I'm not your son!" Mo Ran gritted his teeth. His mood, which had been as solid as a rock for many years, was shattered, and he lost a bit of his old age.

Alice smiled adorably, making it hard to hate her. She said, "He looks a lot younger. Well, he looks more like my son. Hahaha."

If they continued arguing like this, Mo Ran thought he would have nothing left, so he simply stood there without saying a word and let Alice talk. After all, Mo Ran had never seen his biological parents.

"My dear son, didn't you say yesterday that you would find someone to take mom to visit Liyue's scenic spots? Let's go." Alice tilted her head, looking very similar to the little sun in Mondstadt.

Mo Ran's expression remained indifferent. No matter how much you say, my face will remain unchanged.

Like a ghost, he was floating forward, still in the teahouse near Chihuyan, the place where Mo Ran was sent by the Emperor to follow Alice, the source of all the troubles in the past two days.

Zhongli, dressed in brown and yellow clothes, sat at the table, listening calmly to the storyteller praising the deeds of Emperor Rock King. He felt extremely comfortable and had plenty of free time to waste.

The price of getting all these is to sacrifice his old friend's time. Zhongli believes that he will not lose in this deal anyway. However, a sudden chill crept up his back, making him a little confused. Before he could notice anything, he heard a sound.

"Mr. Zhongli, you have really taken the term 'idler' to the extreme!" The more Mo Ran spoke, the colder his voice became, and so did the smile on his face.

Zhongli was unmoved and said softly, "It turns out to be Mr. Mo Ran. What do you want from me?"

"This lady wants to travel around Liyue's scenic spots and historical sites. After careful consideration, I think that in Liyue Harbor, only Mr. Zhongli, who is well-versed in ancient history, can take on this task."

Zhongli took a sip of tea and said, "If you want to travel to Liyue's famous places, I do have a few good reference plans. It's not a bad idea to let Mo Ran take some away."

Mo Ran chuckled, "That won't do. How can a few plans compare to the shock of Mr. Zhongli's personal presence? Don't refuse, just accompany this lady!"

Alice reluctantly did a good deed and said, "That's right, sir, please go for a walk with us! Otherwise, if Liyue loses a mountain or a scenic spot disappears, I can't guarantee it!"

It sounds like she is really helping Mo Ran. It would be even better if it wasn't for the following sentence, "My dear son, Mom still loves you. If anyone you want to cheat, Mom will help you cheat! No one is exempted!"

The smile that Mo Ran had originally had on his face suddenly disappeared. Zhongli, who was as black as the black clothes he was wearing and looked like a young man, glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Well, I have nothing to do, so I'll go to Guiliyuan with you. The glass lilies are in the bud season now."

Zhongli turned around and said to the waiter who was collecting the money: "Let these two settle the bill this time!"

"Mr. Zhongli, there's no one next to you!"

Hearing this, Zhongli turned around and saw that the two figures who were originally there had disappeared, leaving only the lonely Zhongli, standing disheveled in the slightly cold wind.

"Well, in that case, let's send the bill to Mr. Mo's restaurant. He will help to solve it." Zhongli had no choice but to resort to the last resort.

"This." The waiter said with difficulty: "Boss Mo said before that from now on, all Mr. Zhongli's bills will not be covered. What do you think?"

After arguing for a long time, Mr. Zhongli finally walked out of the teahouse in disappointment after using a jade pendant as collateral. He silently watched the "mother and son" who had just met each other laugh at him, his face still as calm as ever.

Mo Ran covered his mouth and laughed: "A great Morax is so poor that he can't even afford Mora. It's so funny, haha!"

Alice didn't show too much surprise, she must have known it a long time ago, or guessed it. She patted her son's shoulder, which was as high as her head, and said, "Okay, stop laughing at others all the time. You might be the one who is in trouble someday!"

Mo Ran's smile faded, and he was very suspicious of Alice. Why could she accurately guess what would happen to him "more than ten years later"? Was it a prophecy or a coincidence? Mo Ran didn't know.

The three of them walked step by step to Guiliyuan, which was not desolate at all. What they saw was a sea of ​​flowers made up of glazed lilies, which was very gorgeous.

Looking up slightly, I saw the vast space between heaven and earth. The rolling sea of ​​clouds was very far away, extending all the way to the horizon where it connected with the earth, giving a quite magnificent feeling.

Zhongli pointed to a ruin and said, "That is the old site of Guiliji. At that time, the road from here to the northern stone gate was smooth, and the fields were densely cultivated and the roads were well connected."

"Later, a flood that seemed to destroy everything came. The god of the hearth, Marcosius, made special food to help people keep warm. When the immortals helped to evacuate the residents, one person helped a lot."

"He is the True Lord of Exterminating Demons and Removing Obstacles. He once created a vehicle that could move without human intervention. He even supported a mountain range by himself to stop a flood."

Zhongli pointed to the low hills not far away and said incessantly, "Those hills are formed when the mountains shrank and degenerated after he exhausted his strength in eliminating demons and obstacles. However, even if the world changes and the high mountains become low ridges, his achievements still exist and are still praised by the people of Liyue."

"This is the legacy of the people of Liyue. It is also a memory that will remain forever on the land of Liyue and will shine like gold no matter how long it lasts!"

Mo Ran did not comment. A trace of heartache flashed in Alice's eyes, which passed in a flash. Then she smiled and said, "This True Lord of Exterminating Demons and Removing Obstacles deserves to be remembered. If I have the chance, I will give him a great gift. What is his real name?"

Mo Ran stood behind Alice, and shook his head slightly without making a sound. Zhong Li on the opposite side had a playful look in his eyes, as if he wanted to take revenge on the boss who had not taken any action before. "The True Lord of Exterminating Demons and Removing Obstacles is Mo Ran! Ms. Alice, if you have any questions, you can go to him."

Mo Ran's face darkened, and he said to himself, "I can't live in peace again."

Alice turned her head and looked at him, thinking, then turned her head again and murmured, "No wonder."

Looking at the blue sea of ​​clouds, Alice repeated, "No wonder, no wonder he looks so old and depressed at such a young age, like an old horse in the stable, without any vitality at all."

"So, he really is an old man!"
