"Hello, I'm here to get a pass," Jiang Ning said to a staff member inside.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, the staff member's eyes lit up with amazement, followed by regret. What a pity, of all people to offend, it was the Imperial Censor...

"Hello, I'm Baihehua, the officer in charge of issuing passes. Please fill out this form..."

Jiang Ning took it and looked at it; it was nothing more than names, hometowns, what the wife came to do, and where she was going.

After filling it out casually, Lily took it back, looked at it, and then said:

"I need to charge some handling fees on my end."

Jiang Ning nodded, preparing to take out his Mora. This pass requires some payment in any country, which can be considered a customs fee, but it's not much, at most a hundred or two Mora.

"A total of 100,000 Mora."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ning was at a loss.

How many?

“One hundred thousand Mora.” Lily smiled.

Jiang Ning's expression darkened slightly: "Are you sure it's 100,000 Mora?"

“Yes, that’s how much everyone gets.” Lily Hua’s expression remained unchanged.

Anyway, this person has offended the Commissioner of the Imperial Censorate, so it should be fine if I take a little more than necessary.

"Oh dear, Miss Lily, this is a distinguished guest of our young lady. Could you please make an exception and treat us to a meal later?"

A hearty laugh rang out, and Jiang Ning turned around to see a tall young man behind him.

She has blond hair and blue eyes, and looks like a Mondstadt person, but her features are also gentle like those of an Inatsume person. She is wearing red clothes that look like those of a samurai or a housekeeper.

And the pattern on the clothes... is it the Kamisato family's pattern?

Jiang Ning's eyes flickered slightly. The young lady he mentioned must be Ayaka Kamisato, right? Then this must be a retainer of the Kamisato family?

And judging from this...

Jiang Ning has already decided that basically, those with the Eye of God, good-looking, and with distinctive attire will all be placed in the pool.

miHoYo probably wouldn't create a feature where characters have beautiful, expressive eyes, then suddenly die and don't enter the pool, right?

Will it make money?

In short, the person in front of you might just be Inazuma's guide, just like Amber in Mondstadt.

"No way, 100,000 Mora, not a single Mora can be missing."

Baihehua still smiled as she spoke.

The smile on the face of the retainer from the Kamisato family froze for a moment, then he continued:

"Oh dear, don't be so rigid. This is our young lady's honored guest. Please, have some respect and give her some face."

If it weren't for a special order from the Commissioner of Investigation, Yuriko might have simply done a favor. However, this was personally instructed by the Commissioner of Investigation, so...

Even if it were the head of the Kamisato family, the current corporate magistrate, Kamisato Ayato, sent someone, it would be useless, let alone Kamisato Ayaka.

"No, my family specifically instructed me to do so."

They both have powerful backers, which is why Baihehua dares to be so assertive.

The retainer seemed to be having a headache. He hadn't expected this to be a direct order from the Enforcement Commissioner. Were they really courting death? How dare they treat the Liyue delegation like this?

Jiang Ning smiled dismissively. "Fine, you want to play it this way? Let's see who comes out on top."

You have General Thunder behind you, but I have King Rock behind me.

Jiang Ning turned and left without a second thought.

Baihehua didn't stop her; after all, her task was just to make things difficult for her.

If the other party is willing to pay, it's a huge profit; if they don't, they can't leave the island. On the island, it's the Hiiragi family's territory, and they can do whatever they want with it.

As for forcibly breaking through checkpoints and smuggling... there are people following us. If anyone dares to do that, we'll take them down immediately, and we can even squeeze some money out of them during the negotiations with Liyue later.

The retainer blinked and followed Jiang Ning away.

Jiang Ning walked down the street again. There were no shops owned by Liyue around; they were all local shops in Inazuma.

"The World Chamber of Commerce?"

Jiang Ning arrived at a secluded place with these four characters written on it.

Although it says "Chamber of Commerce," it looks very deserted, even quiet.

What kind of chamber of commerce is like this?

"Friend from Liyue, please wait a moment..."

Jiang Ning turned around: "Did your young lady, Ayaka Kamisato, send you?"

"Uh, yes, I'm the housekeeper of the Kamisato family. My name is Thomas. Miss asked me to come and be your tour guide." Thomas introduced himself enthusiastically.

"Mondstadt people?"

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged. He wasn't acting as a tour guide; he was simply trying to avoid conflict with the other two leaders.

“I guess you could say I’m half a Inazuma,” Thomas said, looking quite talkative. “I’m also half an Inazuma person. Young man, is this your first time in Inazuma? My lady said we must take good care of you.”

Jiang Ning asked, "Can you solve this pass problem?"

Thomas scratched his head: "It's possible, but it will take a little time. Don't worry, it won't delay your plans."

Jiang Ning nodded: "But I don't want to wait... Why is this World Chamber of Commerce so deserted?"

"This is a chamber of commerce spontaneously organized by merchants from other countries, but it hasn't been doing very well in recent years, which is why it's so quiet."

"Are the merchants from Liyue inside?" Jiang Ning asked.

Thomas said, "Yes, I estimate that after discussing with Miss and Lord Si, we will arrange for these merchants to meet with your Liyue delegation."

The implication is that we shouldn't meet now... If I do whatever you ask, I'll lose face.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Understood."

As he spoke, he went up and knocked on the door.

Thomas was having a headache. No, why did it feel like the young lady was asking him to pay attention to someone who was just talking to himself? Didn't she understand my hints?

"Who is it? It's here..."

With a weak, feeble response, the door to the World Chamber of Commerce was pushed open.

The man who came out was a businessman dressed in foreign clothes, wearing a hat, and looked somewhat haggard.

"You are……"

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, the merchant was taken aback.

Jiang Ning asked, "Hello, are the merchants from Liyue here?"

"who are you?"

He looked somewhat wary.

Jiang Ning said, "I came here with the token of the Seven Stars of Liyue. My name is Jiang Ning."

As he spoke, he took out the keepsake that Ningguang had given him.

"Liyue Seven Stars? Please wait a moment, no, please come in quickly."

The merchant's expression immediately changed, and he quickly said...

Although I don't know if it's true or not, since they dared to put it out there, it probably isn't wrong.

Jiang Ning entered the Chamber of Commerce, while Thomas stood there for a moment before quietly leaving.

The people sent by the Liyue Seven Stars... they can't just be here for a simple trip. We must let the head of the family and the young lady know about this.

Jiang Ning, after entering the International Chamber of Commerce, sat in the reception room for a while before hearing hurried and chaotic footsteps outside.

Several merchants, dressed in Liyue attire, entered the reception room.

"Hello, are you an envoy sent by Lord Seven Stars?"

One of them looked rather cautious.

Jiang Ning said, "Yes, this is a token."

As he spoke, he took out the token given to him by Ningguang, and the proof given to him by Keqing.

"This is indeed Lord Tianquan's token, and this is Lord Yuheng's... Has someone from Liyue finally arrived?"

One of the businessmen had tears in his eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Jiang Ning said, "Now, I need to see your identification. Also, who was that person I saw at the door?"

The merchants quickly produced the certificates that the General Affairs Department had given them back then, including the filing documents from Liyue for their trip to Inazuma.

Once they confirmed each other's identities, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"That gentleman just now was Mr. Kurishu, a representative of our Wanmin Chamber of Commerce, and also the person who spearheaded the establishment of our chamber. May I ask, Your Excellency, what brings you to Inazuma this time..."

"A Liyue merchant at the head asked."

"Well, I came with the delegation, but I came ahead to see you. Keqing also came directly to Inazuma. You should be able to see her in a few days."

The merchants exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock. This young man seemed to have an extraordinary air about him, and he even addressed Lord Yuheng Star by his name... His status must be quite extraordinary.

Jiang Ning continued, "Don't worry, I'm here to ensure the safety of the Liyue delegation. I'm here to back you up. I'll make sure the Commissioner of the Imperial Censor pays back double for all the food Liyue has taken from us."

The merchants felt a lump in their throats as they listened, and then their backs straightened a bit. They finally felt Liyue's toughness and protectiveness once again after suffering so much injustice in a foreign land.

"May I ask what your relationship is with Lord Yuheng Star...?"

The leader of the businessmen remained relatively calm and asked.

It's no wonder they asked that. Although Yuheng Star has arrived, they won't be able to see him for the time being. They're not familiar with the person in front of them, so it's best to ask clearly.

Jiang Ning thought about it seriously: "Strictly speaking, I am Ke Qing's superior."
