Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Hmm? I've never seen this person next to Ayato Kamisato before.

"It's been a long time. How has Patriarch Tong been these days?"

"Thanks to you, things have been going well lately."

Tong Shenjie knew that Ayato Kamisato was talking about the travel permits they had obtained together some time ago.

For this, Toru Shinsuke really has to thank Ayato Kamisato.

Although, in general, the Tong family is tied to the Kujo family's cause, and the Tong family's Kansei Magistrate closely follows the Tenryo Magistrate, in specific matters, the interests of the two families are not entirely aligned.

The Tong family only wanted to make money and then consolidate their ruling position in the Kanding Fengxing.

They only joined forces with the Kujo family to make money.

The Tong family had little interest in the Kujo family's other schemes.

Therefore, when it came to the issue of foreign goods circulation, the Kujo family wanted to completely eliminate it, while Tō Shinsuke firmly opposed it, and the same applied to the Kanjō Magistrate.

If you destroy everything with one blow, how are we supposed to maintain a monopoly and earn Mora?

On this issue, both Toru Shinsuke and Ayato Kamisato, each harboring their own ulterior motives, reached a consensus.

It was through their combined efforts that they secured passage for the Southern Cross fleet.

This world is so strange; everyone is bustling about, all for profit.

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.

An enemy may become a friend in the next second because of mutual benefit, and a friend may become an enemy in the next second because of mutual benefit.

The relationship between enemies and friends is never static.

There might be some personal relationships between individuals, but for a large collective organization like the Kansei Behavior Bureau...

Hahaha.

In short, the Tong family is the biggest beneficiary of this matter (from Tong Shenjie's perspective), and they still owe a favor to Ayato Kamisato.

As soon as Tong Shenjie uttered those words, the atmosphere at the scene clearly changed.

The wariness between them lessened somewhat.

Tong Shenjie looked at the unfamiliar face behind Ayato Kamisato: Iwasaki Masashi.

"Head of the Kamisato family, who is this...?"

"Oh dear, what a forgetful thing I am! I forgot to introduce you all. This is Mr. Masashi Iwasaki, the president of Yaesha. The Narukami Daily, which is currently popular in Inazuma Castle, is the work of Mr. Iwasaki."

"My name is Iwasaki Tadashi. I'd like to greet you all."

Iwasaki stepped forward and bowed to everyone present.

After Kujo Takayuki compromised, the situation stabilized, and Iwasaki Masashi no longer needed to hide.

Iwasaki Tadashi has now successfully cleaned up his act and become the president of Yaesha.

Using his public identity, maintaining the intelligence network of Umijima in Inazuma Castle became even easier.

Although everyone knew the truth, in order to maintain their tacit understanding and stabilize the situation, as long as the information wasn't leaked publicly and things became irreversible, Iwasaki Tadashi would be safer and not in danger.

Play dumb, we know each other well~

Everyone present was a seasoned veteran and clearly understood the situation.

Those who managed to rise to such positions in the shogunate were all geniuses who feigned ignorance.

Tong Shenjie's eyes flickered a few times.

These are the people from "over there".

He's the one who caused chaos in the Tianling Bureau a while ago.

Tong Shenjie greeted Iwasaki Masashi very warmly.

I don't know if there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, but I'll leave a good impression for now.

While everyone was entrusting the matter to the illusory snake, a mast slowly appeared in the distance.

"I'm coming!"

On the shore, people's eyes were all turned to the sea.

A huge ship slowly came into view.

The dragon head at the bow identifies the ship as the flagship of the Southern Cross fleet – the Death Star.

Behind the Death Star, the other ships of the Southern Cross fleet appeared.

The entire fleet had a considerable draft.

The Death Star was the first to dock, and the gangway was slowly lowered. Beidou took the lead and walked down from it.

Tong Shenjie greeted him with a big smile.

"Welcome, welcome. Captain Beidou must be exhausted from your long journey."

"What's so hard about this? This is how it is for everyone making a living on the high seas. Here, this is the cargo list for this trip. If there are no problems, then hurry up and arrange for people to unload the cargo."

The straightforward Beidou didn't care about these formalities; she just wanted to finish her work as soon as possible.

Tong Shenjie took the list and started looking at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

These are all glittering gold Mora!

Tong Shenjie no longer cares about formalities or politeness.

With Mora, everything is easy to discuss.

"It will take a few more days to unload all the cargo. We have already arranged accommodation for everyone on the Southern Cross fleet on the outlying islands. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions in the next few days."

One of Tong Shenjie's attendants spoke up.

“Perfect timing. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Inazuma. I must take this opportunity to try Inazuma’s sake.”

This is an opportunity!

Ayato Kamisato immediately stepped forward and invited Hokuto to the Utsu-tei.

Beidou readily agreed.

Inazuma's magistrate, Ayato Kamisato, head of the Kamisato family.

Ningguang had specifically instructed her to keep an eye on these people, and she happened to want to see them for herself.

Ayato Kamisato looked at the attendant of the magistrate, who seemed somewhat embarrassed. After exchanging glances, he turned to look at Shinsuke Tori.

"It's alright. Captain Beidou is a distinguished guest of our company, so of course he is free to move around. You can just complete the formalities later."

With the boss speaking up, things will be much easier.

Beidou made arrangements for the on-site affairs and assigned the relevant work to the first officer of the Death Star.

After saying goodbye to Toru Shinsuke, Ayato and his group left the island with Hokuto and headed to Utsu-tei.

Chapter 25 can't be delayed any longer.

Throughout the journey, Ayato Kamisato was talking to Hokuto.

One of Ayato Kamisato's strengths is that he can speak to people in a way that suits them, and to ghosts in a way that suits them.

Knowing that Beidou has a straightforward personality, he got straight to the point, except for a few rather sensitive topics.

Ayato Kamisato explained to Hokuto the recent changes that had occurred in Inazuma, mainly the various effects of the isolationist edict, the current market changes in Inazuma, and the resistance forces on Umijima Island.

Beidou then shared her observations and experiences from her recent activities near Liyue with Ayato Kamisato.

Through conversations with Hokuto, Iwasaki has formed a vague understanding of the recent changes that have occurred outside of Inazuma.

Overall, things are relatively calm, but there are two pieces of news that require attention.

Falgar, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, has recently been mobilizing the Knights of Favonius's forces, apparently due to some problem, and is about to embark on an expedition, but Beidou has no idea where they are going.

However, according to reliable sources, most of the Knights of Favonius have been mobilized, and the rest are preparing for the expedition. It is conservatively estimated that more than half of the Knights of Favonius will leave Mondstadt.

In addition, strange things have recently started to happen at Liyue's super mine, the Lava Abyss.

Beidou didn't know the specifics, only that the General Affairs Department had started to send more Thousand Rock Army troops to the Layered Rock Abyss, but he heard that the effect was not obvious.

The Fools, on the other hand, were very enthusiastic about this matter and repeatedly requested the General Affairs Department to send Fool troops to the Rocky Abyss to assist.

Out of caution, the General Affairs Department has not yet approved the proposal of the Fools.

The people of the Laminariat are in a state of panic, which has affected mineral production and caused fluctuations in ore prices in Liyue.

This is not good news.

Iwasaki sighed.

This means that importing Liyue minerals will cost more Mora.

"arrive."

During Ayato Kamisato's conversation with Hokuto, the group arrives at Utsu-tei.

Rikuto Okazaki gave the employees of Uyu-tei the day off today and even hung a sign outside the Uyu-tei gate saying it was closed to the public.

Inside the Wuyou Pavilion, only Erika and Rikuto Okazaki were present.

Today's Uyu-tei is specifically for hosting the meeting between Ayato Kamisato and Hokuto.

"Boss, give me two jugs of good wine and lots of meat."

"okay!"

Rikuto Okazaki went to get the sake, while Erika quietly went to prepare the meal.

Upon entering the Uyu-tei, Ayako Kamisato began to introduce Masashi Iwasaki to Hokuto.

"Captain Hokuto, this is Tadashi Iwasaki, the president of Yae-sha, who is highly regarded by the chief priest of Narukami Taisha. Mr. Iwasaki has a big business deal he would like to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Hokuto turned to look at Iwasaki Masashi.
