The Fatui: Hurt Bai Ye? Impossible, Impossible

"The Shogun, recently, a rumor has been circulating in Inazuma City for some unknown reason."

Kujou Takamasa spoke first, saying to Raiden Shogun, "They say there's someone in Liyue across the Sea who can deal with the Archon Residue. If we invite him over, the evil spirits on Yashiori Island can be easily dealt with."

"Nonsense."

Raiden Shogun and Lightning thought to himself.

This evil spirit is the resentment formed from the slaying of the giant serpent Orobas in the Raiden Ei himself couldn't possibly eliminate the influence of that event without paying a price. Now, someone claims he can eliminate the influence of the Archon Residue, which seems like pure fantasy.

The fact that the three Feng Ying could come together proves that the news has spread widely among the people.

Think about it, then Raiden Shogun gave the three orders:

"Kujou Takamasa"

"The Shogun,"

"From now on, you will lead the members of the Tenryou Commission to investigate the sources of these messages and stop the rumors from spreading."

"Yes."

Kujou Takamasa accepted the order, a look of joy in his eyes.

Of the three, Kujou Takamasa was the most unwilling to let this rumor spread. First, maintaining the current order was what he wanted most, and this rumor troubled him greatly; second, Yashiori Island was on the front line of the war, and most of it was under the control of the rebels on Watatsumi Island, so if he went there, the things he was trying to cover up would no longer be able to be covered up.

He was happiest when the Shogun ordered him to quell the rumors.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tong Shenjie, Kanjou Commission, looked at Kujou Takamasa with a complicated expression. He and Kujou Takamasa were cooperating, and protecting Kujou Takamasa was also protecting himself.

However, if Kujou Takamasa were to increase his power based on this rumor, allowing him to conduct large-scale raids on the people of Inazuma City, it would put Toru Shinsuke at a disadvantage in his cooperation with him.

Tong Shenjie was very conflicted.

Kujou Takamasa thought it was over, but the Raiden Shogun's orders were not yet finished. She said to Kamisato Ayato, "Head of the Kamisato Clan."

"Send someone to Liyue to see if this is true."

"Yes."

Kamisato Ayato nodded.

He achieved his goal.

From the very beginning, he intended for San Fengying to come with him to report this matter to Raiden Shogun. If he came alone, Raiden Shogun would surely order him to dispel the rumors, and then all his efforts would have been in vain.

Therefore, entrusting the investigation of rumors to Kujou Takamasa and the investigation of Liyue to himself, so as to obtain the most accurate information, is what he wants to do.

Kujou Takamasa's expression was very unnatural when he heard Kamisato Ayato getting involved.

"This matter should be resolved quickly."

"Yes."

"Yes."

San Fengying left in this way.

Kujou Takamasa glanced at Kamisato Ayato, Kamisato Ayato smiled politely and left.

They then began their own actions.

This matter is temporarily unrelated to Tong Shenjie; he plans to go back and slowly figure out how to handle it.

Kujou Takamasa and Kamisato Ayato, who were responsible for the matter, immediately began their work after returning to their posts.

Kujou Takamasa first summoned his adopted daughter Kujou Sara.

"Master of the family."

His adopted daughter Kujou Sara, is of the Crow Tengu clan and is one of the strongest among all the humans in Inazuma.

She was tall and slender, wearing a modified kimono with a black sash with red patterns around her waist, adorned with her Genshin Eye. Her purple hair was covered by a red Crow Tengu mask, and her golden eyes were sharp and piercing, exuding a fierce aura simply by standing there.

"Next, we'll pause the battle on Yashiori Island for now. We need to guard against enemy sabotage from behind."

Kujou Takamasa recounted everything that Raiden Shogun had instructed them to do. Of course, the story was completely different in Kujou Takamasa's version. From having no apparent origin, it became that it was something deliberately orchestrated by the rebels on Watatsumi Island, a measure taken to sabotage Inazuma's rear.

"Yes, I will handle this."

Upon hearing this, Kujou Sara immediately expressed her intention to go and do it.

"Very good, I'll leave this matter to you."

Kujou Takamasa nodded in satisfaction.

He increasingly felt how right he had been to adopt Kujou Sara. The reputation of the current Heavenly Tenryou Commission Inazuma was now greater than that of the Kanjou Commission and the Yashiro Commission; Kujou Sara could be said to have played a significant role in this.

He was still not at ease letting Kujou Sara handle it this way.

After Kujou Sara left, Kujou Takamasa left Tenryou Commission and secretly went to Tenryou Commission's secret contact location.

"We have no power outside of Tenryou Commission Inazuma, so we still need to seek help from those people in this matter."

He sent out a signal to communicate with the Fatui.

Soon,

A Debt Collector was spotted at a secret meeting place.

He has the ability to infiltrate, making him the perfect person to come and make contact with others.

"Master Kujou Clan, may I ask what business you have with us, the Fatui?"

The Debt Collector spoke casually.

Seeing how casually a mere Debt Collector, Kujou Takamasa's eyes flashed with anger. "Just you wait," he thought, "Once I've achieved my goal, let's see who among you can escape the Shogun's punishment."

With that thought in mind, Kujou Takamasa still smiled and said, "I've come to have you deal with someone."

"Oh? Who is it? What's their relationship to Inazuma City?"

The Debt Collector didn't take it seriously either.

During this time, Inazuma felt that his life was really good. Kujou Clan Iemami was too cooperative, making their activities Fatui go smoothly and their lives very comfortable. So, this Debt Collector felt that as long as Inazuma didn't provoke the Raiden Shogun, there wouldn't be any problems with the Fatui.

Hearing that his companions in Liyue were living in dire straits made him glad that he had chosen Inazuma.

He casually sipped his tea.

Kujou Takamasa spoke up, "I'm not on Inazuma's side. I'm here to ask you to help deal with the people from Liyue. I heard that someone in Liyue can deal with the Archon Residue, and this news has reached the Shogun. I think if he's still alive, you could eliminate him so he doesn't interfere with our operations."

"Hmm..." The Debt Collector didn't take it seriously at first, casually sipping his tea. But halfway through, he suddenly realized what was happening, opened his mouth wide, and the entire teacup fell into his mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." The Debt Collector quickly spat out the teacup and waved his hand.

"You need to deal with the people in Liyue who can handle the Archon Residue."

"Yes."

"I can't do it, goodbye."

The Debt Collector refused outright.

He's doing well with his Inazuma and doesn't want to die.

The ability to deal with the Archon Residue might be nothing to Kujou Takamasa, but it's extremely important to the entire Seven Nations. Even the Queen certainly wouldn't want his life.

Moreover, those of slightly higher status in the Fatui were well aware of how much protection Li Liyue, the one who could handle the Archon Residue, received.

Kujou Takamasa relaxed his conditions a little.

"Well, if that can't be resolved, it's acceptable to leave him injured and unable to move for a few months."

"I still can't do this. I still need to report this matter to the Chief Constable."

The Debt Collector an excuse and left.

Who was injured?

Let's not even talk about whether we have the ability.

Last time, he was almost injured, and it cost us a constable, and Lord the Fairytale Clown also paid a considerable price to resolve the matter. If it happens again, who knows what the consequences will be.

If we can't do it, we can do it without doing it.

The Debt Collector has left.

Watching the Debt Collector leave, Kujou Takayuki's expression was disdainful.

I used to think the Fatui were capable of anything, but I never expected them to be so cowardly.

"If that person really comes to Inazuma, I must make him know whose orders he should listen to in Inazuma."

Kujou Takayuki thought to himself.

No matter who it is, once they come to Inazuma.

First, one must obey the Shogun's orders; second, one must obey his Kujou Takayuki duties. As for his connections or power outside, he doesn't really care.

After all, there's an old saying in Liyue: "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake."

"Ayaka, I'm back."

Kamisato Ayato returned to the Yashiro Commission and found his younger sister.

"Brother."

Kamisato Ayaka was kneeling on the chessboard, playing against herself, when she heard her brother call her. Kamisato Ayaka looked up.

"Ayaka, are you getting ready to go abroad and see the world?"

Kamisato Ayato sat opposite her, looking at the chessboard, and thought for a moment before making his next move.

"Did it really succeed?"

A look of surprise appeared in Kamisato Ayaka's eyes.

However, her eyes showed some hesitation, and she whispered to Kamisato Ayato, "But, if I leave, won't it be too tiring for you to handle things all by yourself, brother?"

"It's alright. If we share a little of the burden, things will be much easier to handle," Kamisato Ayato replied with a smile that remained unchanged when he heard his younger sister say this.

At that moment, Thoma, who was holding his quilt and preparing to air it out, seemed to sense something and couldn't help but shiver.

He felt some malice was coming at him.

Kamisato Ayato continued, "If it were someone else who made the claim, I wouldn't feel entirely at ease either. I trust you the most to verify the truth of that news. By the way, you can also take a look at the scenery of Liyue Harbor; perhaps you can learn something from it."

Kamisato Ayato already knew that his younger sister wanted to travel to other countries and experience different cultures.

However, due to the Sakoku Decree and the numerous affairs to handle at the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't leave Inazuma. Now that Kamisato Ayato had this opportunity, he naturally let his younger sister go out and see the world.

"Um."

Hearing her brother say this, Kamisato Ayaka nodded gently.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

She really wanted to see it.

Seeing the expectant look in his younger sister's eyes, Kamisato Ayato smiled with satisfaction.

He's a siscon too.

"Alright, you can start preparing now. Since this activity is just for reconnaissance, it's best not to make a fuss about it. Therefore, I'll only send a few ninjas from the Shippou to accompany you."

"Uh-huh."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

A few days later, Kamisato Ayaka was ready.

Kamisato Ayato prepared a ship and experienced sailors to ensure his younger sister's safe journey to Liyue.

"Remember, if anyone asks you, just say you're a merchant visiting Inazuma. Remember, your safety is the most important thing, no matter what happens. I'll handle everything else when we get back to Inazuma."

Kamisato Ayato gave Kamisato Ayaka some instructions.

"Brother, I understand."

Kamisato Ayaka smiled and nodded.

Then, Kamisato Ayato looked at the short guy next to Kamisato Ayaka and said in a warning tone, "Sayu, if you fall asleep again in Liyue, I'll have to deduct your salary again."

Sayu, the ninja from the Shippou, is a petite ninja loli.

"No! Sayu doesn't want to have her pay docked anymore. Otherwise, she won't have enough to eat and won't grow tall."

Upon hearing this, Sayu immediately shouted loudly.

"Then remember not to doze off."

Kamisato Ayato had carefully considered letting Sayu stay with his younger sister.

Although she is a loli, she is really strong. At the same time, because she is a loli, no matter where she follows Kamisato Ayaka, she will not arouse suspicion.

"Yes."

Sayu quickly shouted loudly.

"Okay." Kamisato Ayato nodded, then added to his sister, "Remember to take care of yourself."

"Yes, elder brother, I understand."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

Then, she pulled Sayu and walked towards the side of the boat.

Sayu also kept looking back, reluctant to leave.

Seeing that Sayu was reluctant to leave, Kamisato Ayaka remembered her resentment and said with a smile, "Sayu, Liyue Harbor is the largest port in all of Teyvat. Maybe they'll have some suitable way to grow taller."

"Hmm!? Then Miss Ayaka, let's hurry up and get some fresh air!"

Upon hearing Kamisato Ayaka say that, Sayu immediately perked up.

Immediately,

The two men boarded the ship.

Several ninja from the Shippou were also lurking on the ship, serving as subordinates of Kamisato Ayaka.

With everything prepared, the ship began its voyage.

With Kamisato Ayato's power and the Raiden Shogun's approval, the ship left Inazuma with ease.

The sailors were all experienced men.

They easily crossed the thunderstorm and traveled a long waterway before finally arriving at Liyue Harbor.

Throughout their journey, Kamisato Ayaka and Sayu were filled with anticipation as they arrived at Liyue Harbor.

However, Sayu was hoping to find a way to grow taller in Liyue Harbor.

Kamisato Ayaka, was looking forward to the scene in Liyue Harbor.

After sailing for several days, the ship finally arrived at Liyue Harbor.

This is the time when a large number of merchant ships are entering the port.

Thousands of sails and hundreds of ships

Countless ships entered Liyue Harbor one after another, and Kamisato Ayaka and Sayu couldn't count them all at once.

It's so much bigger than the small port of Inazuma.

"How magnificent!"

Sayu exclaimed in surprise.

"Um..."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded gently.

Then, her eyes narrowed.

At that moment, she noticed a huge figure slowly walking towards her on the docks of Liyue Harbor.

"Ruin Guard!?"

Kamisato Ayaka instinctively drew her weapon.
