Revelations

Before arriving in the capital, Wu Long had Shen Min change her disguise with the earring. Thus she would not be recognized by anyone who might have seen her before as a member of the secret guard.

They went to a branch of the Soaring Feather Trading Company, and while she was wondering what he wanted to buy he showed the attendant some kind of a token, which instantly caused the attendant to plaster the widest smile she ever saw on a human to his face and lead them to a VIP room.

They did not have to wait long until a middle-aged man, who turned out to be the regional manager of the whole Tingren Kingdom, entered with an even wider smile.

After Wu Long asked him for help with meeting Princess Cai Yin under the astonished eyes of Shen Min, the regional manager treated it as an imperial command and ran out to do his bidding. 

"W-what is your relationship with the Soaring Feather Trading Company?"

She asked while the regional manager was out.
