The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Yu Duchen's power encountered unprecedented obstacles here at Shen He.

Normally, Luo Mu uses Yu Duchen to construct illusions and manipulate people's hearts. In the continent of Teyvat, it is impossible for him to fail in terms of power level. But in Shen He's case, no matter how Yu Duchen stirs her inner emotions and memories, Luo Mu cannot get even the slightest feedback.

He could also directly interfere with Shen He's consciousness, but it was meaningless to do so - he did not ask anything of Shen He, he just hoped to complete the task entrusted by Master Liuyunjiefeng more smoothly. Overly harsh measures would have the opposite effect.

Forget it, since unconventional means are ineffective, let's take the conventional route... After sending Shen He back to her room, Luo Mu left the hotel again. Looking at the reconstruction site of Xinyuexuan not far away, he pursed his lips guiltily.

I hope I don't have to tear anything apart this time...

"Hey, have you heard that something big is going to happen to the Northland Bank in Zhidong?"

"Really? Really? What's going on?"

"you listen to me……"

Suddenly, Luo Mu's attention was attracted by the conversation between two young men strolling on the street. As they passed by, he vaguely heard the words "Northland Bank", "Winter", and "Faints".

The Seven Stars have made their decision on the Young Master? Having lost the direct assistance of the Heavenly Mandate, Luo Mu was worried about where to get the news. He hurriedly pretended to be calm and followed them, wanting to hear what the Seven Stars had decided on the Northern Bank and the Young Master.

"Speaking of the Fatui, they are really well-connected." A young man sighed to his companion, "Tell me, after committing a crime in the streets of Liyue, Lady Ningguang just let him go. Although the young master was ordered to leave Liyue, the deadline is not set. After the young master left, the Northland Bank also allowed the Winter Solstice people to take over... How do you think this is different from no punishment?"

"It's normal to say that he harmed people," the young man's companion replied as if he understood the world. "Although the young man committed a crime in the street, he didn't hurt any of the people of Liyue. He also forced out a ghost hiding in the streets of Liyue. If you think about it, this is a great achievement. It's not appropriate for Lord Ningguang to punish him more severely, both in public and in private."

One... Luo Mu, who was following behind the two of them, had his mouth twitching wildly. Do I have to count the ones now?

The young man who spoke first hummed twice, but did not object. He nodded and responded, "That's true... but I heard from my brother who works in the General Affairs Department that Zhidong... sent another executive officer?"

"Really? What's your name? What does he look like?"

"I really don't know his name or what he looks like." The young man said regretfully, "I only know that the executive officer's title is... called... Master? Or was it a rich man? Oh, anyway, it's a name that sounds like he has a lot of money."

"Oh my goodness! They sent a merchant to our Liyue..."

"I just told you..."

Luo Mu couldn't hear the rest of the conversation clearly because the two of them turned into a more prosperous street surrounded by constant hawking sounds, but he had already figured out about 50% of the general situation.

The young master was punished, but not severely, and will leave Inazuma soon. The executive officer... a rich man took over his position? Maybe so, and this executive officer... seems to be a real businessman?

In just a few months, Liyue has come and gone, and at least three executives have settled here, not to mention myself as a potential executive. Are some of Zhidong's pawns about to start moving...

Luo Mu felt a little uneasy for a moment.

…………

Northland Bank.

In the heavily guarded secret room, the young master pointed listlessly at the shelves full of bookshelves and the well-kept documents on them, and said to a hunched figure wrapped in a black robe behind him in boredom:

"I have put all the information about Liyue in recent years here. Please take a good look at it when you have time. It is up to you how to use it."

"Mr. Young Master is really considerate." A hoarse voice came from the black robe. The person in the robe seemed to be an old smoker: "In this case, my work will be carried out well."

The young master shook his head helplessly, as if he doubted the other party's confidence. He added: "I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't try to overthrow Liyue's regime. You will definitely fail."

"Have you forgotten my connection with Liyue?"

"……forget it."

"I have been trying to infiltrate the Liyue regime for several years." Walking through the dim corridor and among the thousands of secrets of Liyue, the black-robed man said, "However, I have never been interested in this. Even if it is, I will throw out an idle piece to take advantage of it first. As for whether it is a common or a skilled hand, let's wait for him to make a move first, right?"

"A few years ago?" The young man suddenly opened his eyes wide: "How many years ago did you start..."

"Young man, be patient." The man in black robe waved his wide sleeves, signaling the young master to calm down. "I told you, he's just Bu Xianzi, not as important as a member of the Fatui advance team. Besides, that woman fought with me, and now she's probably watching me more closely. This move of mine will probably be in vain."

"Liyue's intelligence network!" He sighed, "Yours has been torn to pieces. Private dark web organizations have never been able to develop. In the end, that little girl named Ye still dominates!"

"Uh... this girl named Ye you are talking about is..." the young master asked in confusion.

The black-robed man sneered, "Well, after fighting for a few years, she still didn't figure out who she was fighting. But it's no wonder. If I hadn't fought her a few times in person, I would have been kept in the dark. She hid it too well and too deeply. With a girl like this in Liyue, it's hard to die."

"Fortunately, you don't have to worry about this problem anymore, Mr. Young Master. Just leave Liyue's work to me. Her Majesty the Queen has more important tasks for you to do."

Seeing that the man in black robe did not explain who the "little girl named Ye" was, the young master did not ask any more questions. He took the man in black robe to read all the documents in the secret room step by step and confirmed that each one was intact. Then, he slapped the wall, and a mechanism door hidden in the dark opened silently, and a ray of golden sunlight came in from outside.

"It seems that you already have a plan in mind?" The young man said as he made a "please" gesture to the outside of the door.

The man in black robe chuckled.

"A warrior has his own way, and a businessman has his own way." The man in black robe stood in the sunlight that came through the door, looking like a mysterious shadow. "Liyue already knows the strength and determination of Mr. Young Master. Now, we have to let them know as well."

"Master, how do I play this game of chess?"
