Chao Ke glanced at his sister again with a guilty conscience. When Alechino wondered why his brother was looking at her, Chao Ke gritted his teeth and decided to do it.

Chao Ke took a quick and decisive step back and instantly stood next to his sister. He reached out and held his sister's delicate body in his arms.

"Chao Ke! Put me down now!"

Alechino, who was held in Chao Ke's arms, also reacted. She kept shouting and struggled violently to break free from Chao Ke's arms.

"Don't worry, sister. I won't let you get away."

"Let's reenact the classic today. In Chapter 1, you hugged me like this in the group of children."

Alechino:........

At the same time, [Liyue].

As the top ice-free port in the entire continent of Teyvat.

Even in winter, Liyue Harbor still handles countless merchant ships.

For thousands of years, the breeze from the neighboring country has always left shapes on this sea.

The sea surface sparkled under the breeze, and under the sunlight, it looked like pieces of Mora piled up into a mountain.

This may be true.

Looking at [Liyue Harbor] from a long-term perspective, the wealth that this port has accumulated for [Liyue] is as immeasurable as the gold floating in the water.

The residents living in Liyue Harbor are naturally aware of their luck, and are honored that Liyue has such a large ice-free port.

But no matter how hard people try, the winter sea breeze is not as comfortable as that in summer.

Even the once bustling [Yujingtai] became deserted under the blowing of the biting cold wind.

The grass and trees that used to be lush and flourishing have completely lost their vitality in this season.

Only a few flowers that are carefully cared for by Grandma Ping are still blooming in the wind in this cold winter.

The Qianyan Army who were patrolling here greeted Grandma Ping and reminded the elderly woman to keep warm in the winter.

Grandma Ping agreed with a smile, and warmly asked the young men of the Qianyan Army to stop and have a cup of hot tea to warm themselves up before leaving.

The captain of the [Qianyan Army] team stepped forward and politely declined Grandma Ping's kindness, saying that they had a patrol mission to perform and it would not be convenient for them to stay in one place.

With the departure of the Thousand Rocks Army, the area around Grandma Ping on Yujing Terrace became completely deserted.

But Grandma Ping did not look disappointed. Instead, she looked up at the treetops above.

Today is the birthday that the Emperor has set for himself. It is truly a good day.

Friends who I rarely saw in the past are now out and about.

As a breeze blew down from the treetops.

There is also a fairy beside Grandma Ping.

"I haven't heard from you for quite some time. You seem to be busy with research and development recently, and you don't even respond to the greetings from us old friends."

Grandma Ping's question reminded [Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng] of what he had experienced in the past few days, and he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"Ge Chen, do you still remember that I accepted a mortal child as my apprentice a few years ago?"

“Yeah, I have some impression.”

Grandma Ping nodded and replied.

"I remember that your disciple's physical condition was somewhat special."

"Could it be that you are in seclusion this time because of this child?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Lord Liuyunjiefeng nodded and replied.

"I don't know what happened during this period. Shen He is like a madman. He keeps searching and checking over and over again. He says he wants to find something that should be banned."

"During this period of seclusion, I have been using my magical powers to stabilize the child's pulse and investigate the cause of the illness."

"It wasn't until a few days ago that I had some clues. After dealing with the problem of the child's soul, I used a red rope to lock her soul to resist the loneliness in her fate, and then she got better."

Hearing that Shen He's condition had improved, Grandma Ping felt relieved.

The fate of this child Shen He is truly pitiful, and her fate is rare in the thousands of years of history of Liyue.

There is no Xu or Hai in the Jiazi decade, and no Shen or You in the Jiaxu decade. This period of time is called "Gu Chen".

The child Shen He was born with the sign of "Gu Chen" and added with the sign of "Jie Sha", how could his life be smooth with such birth chart?

Fortunately, the [Jie Sha] Palace of Life also has good and bad luck, and Shen He should offend a lucky god.

[劫杀] If it is auspicious, the person will be extremely intelligent, have a broad mind and his luck will improve.

After fighting with the evil spirit, the child Shen He was rescued by Liu Yun who happened to pass by and was accepted as a disciple.

Perhaps it was the "good luck" of this [Jie Sha] Palace of Life that opened up a way of life for her.

While thinking, Grandma Ping made a pot of fragrant tea for her old friend.

"Please sit down and chat with me. You don't come to Liyue Harbor often, and we haven't had a good conversation for a while."

"it is good."

[Master Liuyunjiefeng] responded, transformed into a human form and sat beside Grandma Ping.

"You came to Liyue Harbor this time for the Emperor's birthday, right?"

"Well, I, [Xie Yue Zhu Yang], [Li Shui Die Shan] and others have set up a banquet on Mount Ao Zang, and have also invited the Emperor to come and celebrate this festive occasion together."

"Ge Chen, we have invited you several times, are you really not going to come and join us?"

"In this banquet, there will be some new objects developed by this immortal on display."

Faced with her old friend's repeated invitations, Grandma Ping smiled and shook her head, rejecting her again.

"Liuyun, I won't go."

"A few days ago, I met the Emperor in the streets. We exchanged a few words of greeting and I also sent my birthday wishes to the Emperor."

"Compared to the mountains and wilderness, I still prefer the bustle of Liyue Harbor. Let me spend the festive season between the New Year and the old year with Liyue Harbor."

Seeing that his old friend had made up his mind, Liu Yun stopped trying to persuade him and simply changed the subject to talk about something else.

The two chatted about each other's recent situation. Grandma Ping told Liuyun some exciting things that happened in Liyue Harbor, and Liuyun also told Grandma Ping about some wild fun in the mountains.

As the two chatted, they started talking about each other's apprentices.

"Ge Chen, I remember you accepted a disciple a few years ago. Why didn't you bring him with you and teach him in detail?"

"You're talking about Xiangling."

"That child has her own ideas. What she is looking for is not the way to become an immortal, but to use a variety of ingredients to make a delicious meal."

After hearing about his old friend’s disciple’s pursuit, [True Lord Liuyunjiefeng] said in an affirmative tone.

"From my perspective, your disciple's pursuit is a great path."

"The prosperity and abundance of food in today's Liyue is inseparable from the discovery of various crops by our ancestors during the pioneering period."

"It is precisely because they found all kinds of food in the wilderness that they cultivated and improved it for generations, that Liyue now has such a variety of food."

Grandma Ping nodded and said, "Yes, Xiangling is doing a great thing."

"Judging from the various dishes she has developed, I'm afraid she has made some achievements."

"Oh?"

[Master Liuyunjiefeng] was a little surprised.

"I am also good at cooking. It seems I need to find a time to meet with your disciple and exchange ideas."

"Then you have to transform yourself before you go. Otherwise, I, as your disciple, might have some bad thoughts about your immortal body."

"Humph."

"Ge Chen, since you said that, I would rather go there with my real body to see how disrespectful you, as a disciple, are to the Immortal Master."

"Hahaha, I'm actually looking forward to your meeting."

Grandma Ping said with a smile.

"Let's not talk about Xiangling anymore. Did you meet Ganyu during your visit to Liyue Harbor?"

"Oh, not yet."

Talking about his other disciple, [True Lord Liuyunjiefeng] also had a headache.

Neither of these two children makes me worry-free.

Ever since Ganyu, whom he had taken care of since childhood, left Aozang Mountain and settled in Liyue Harbor, the master and disciple have been together less and less and rarely see each other.

The few meetings they had were mostly when Master [Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng] came down from Aozang Mountain to the [Yuehai Pavilion] on [Yujingtai] to look for Ganyu.

If it wasn't clear that [Yue Hai Ting] was an institution founded by the Emperor, [Zhen Jun Liu Yun Jie Feng] would have really suspected that Gan Yu had joined some illegal organization.

Alas, every time I see this child, I feel that she is listless.

She even refused to attend tonight's party because she had to work overtime. It's ridiculous.

Liyue is so huge, is it possible that they can’t find someone to replace Ganyu’s job?

After seeing the Emperor tonight, I must report it to him properly.

Grandma Ping listened to her old friend's complaints with a smile, knowing that she was missing her apprentice Ganyu.

"Liuyun, after all, Yuehai Pavilion is a very important department of Liyue, and some situations are unavoidable."

"Why don't we invite Ganyu out for lunch today? What do you think?"

"Hmm... that's a good idea."

[Master Liuyunjiefeng] said thoughtfully.

"Then let's make it a decision. This will be a good opportunity for me to see if there are any new flavors appearing in Liyue Harbor during this period."

......

As the pot of tea on the tea table ran out, it meant that it was time to end the chat.

"Ge Chen, let's stop talking here. I'm going to go to Yuehai Pavilion to find Ganyu and tell the kid about the lunch today."

"Well, I'll clear the tea table and we'll see you at noon."

As they spoke, Grandma Ping and True Lord Liuyunjiefeng also stood up from their chairs, preparing to say goodbye.

But Lord Liuyunjiefeng, who had transformed into his original form, suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Grandma Ping behind him.

"Ge Chen, you live in [Liyue Harbor] for a long time. Do you know where the Emperor is at this moment? Do you want to bring the Emperor to the gathering at noon?"

"The Emperor... maybe he has an appointment."

"He should be at Wangshu Inn now."

.........

【Wangshu Inn】

roof.

Two figures, one big and one small, stood here, silently gazing at the Dihuazhou area below.

After a long moment, the older figure spoke.

"Did you take the Lianli Zhenxin Powder I brought you a few days ago on time?"

"Yes, Lord Emperor."

"The medicine is very effective. In the past few days, the erosion caused by [karma] has been much less."

After hearing that the medicine was taking effect, Zhongli nodded slightly, and said no more, continuing to look down.

In the distance, beyond the reach of ordinary people, there were two different teams training in the wilderness of Dihua Island.
