Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

News of the chaos at Chongsi Academy quickly reached Colin's ears. Colin was utterly incredulous that someone could escape from Chongsi Academy and ruin his plans. He recalled what Sigrid had mentioned about the two being high-level elementals, and helplessly chuckled to himself, "Looks like I'm getting old after all!"

Su Yang led Lin Anlan through the Chongsi Academy in a chaotic manner, occasionally clashing with the soldiers who came to intercept them. At this point, Su Yang didn't care who the people were. There was basically no one in the entire duchy he could trust, so his only reaction to those who came to intercept him was to kill them. Wherever they went, a bloody mess followed.

After fighting for a long time, they still couldn't find the exit of Chongsi Academy. Seeing this, Lin Anlan reminded him, "Su Yang, let's fly out."

"Yes!" Su Yang suddenly realized, then slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten such an important skill? He immediately activated his elemental power, carrying Lin Anlan into the air. After looking around, he flew towards the city gate. The soldiers below could only run after him, while those who knew how to fly dared not take off. On the one hand, they could only maintain flight for about a minute before exhausting their elemental power. More importantly, flying was prohibited in the royal city. Su Yang could do it without any worries, but they could not.

Su Yang flew swiftly through the city gates toward his farm. The troops inside the royal city were in chaos, with several units crowding the streets in pursuit of Su Yang. For a time, several main streets were in complete disarray, and the unsuspecting civilians, thinking that war had broken out, were also thrown into confusion.

Colin's residence received a constant stream of messages and requests from the heads of various departments. He could no longer sit still and hurriedly went to the military headquarters. He had all the existing military movements and intelligence compiled and then headed towards the palace. For Colin, this was a disgrace after decades of military service. A large-scale military chaos and troop movements had occurred in the capital of a neutral country, and all because of just two people!

Upon arriving at the palace to meet with Pact, Colin gave a detailed report of the situation. As expected, Pact was furious. He believed that Su Yang and Lin Anlan's actions were a provocation against him and the royal family, and even a contempt for the entire Duchy of Paison. He slammed his hand on the imperial desk and ordered, "Issue a bounty immediately! Regardless of life or death, a reward of 50,000 gold coins will be given for the capture of one of them. In addition, mobilize all troops in the royal city except for the palace guard to surround and wipe out the two traitors. I want all those who have challenged the dignity of my royal family to atone with their deaths!"

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Colin immediately accepted the order and prepared to leave, but Pact called out to him, “Wait.” Colin could only turn back and wait for further orders.

"Duke Colin, the title of duke has always been the highest title in our country. Only those who are both wise and brave, who have made great contributions to the country, can sit in this position. They are the pillars of the country. They must not only share the country's burdens, but also safeguard the honor of the duchy. I think Duke Colin should know this better than I do!"

Faced with Pact's blatant warning and anger, Colin could only silently endure it. Only after receiving Pact's permission did he leave the palace and return to the military headquarters. As soon as he stepped into the headquarters, he heard an angry roar: "Send reinforcements to me immediately! Bring over all the garrison troops from the surrounding towns!"

An officer's voice rang out: "Commander, please reconsider! Unauthorized large-scale mobilization of the army is a serious crime!"

Colin immediately knew that it was Bernan Sterling throwing a tantrum, probably because he had received news of Bernan Xiu's death. After all, he only had one son, so his fury was understandable. Colin immediately went to the door of the Army Commander's office. The other officers inside saluted him, and Bernan Sterling also stood up from his seat and gave a standard military salute.

"Well, you may all step back." Colin returned the salute, signaling the other officers to leave first. He then sat down on the sofa and said, "Commander Boan, I know you are very sad right now, but I must remind you that you are the army commander of the Duchy, the commander-in-chief of the entire Duchy's army, and the face of the army! Don't do anything foolish that would dishonor the army's honor."

“But my lord!” Bo An tried to say something, but Colin interrupted him: “I know! I am also very saddened by Xiu’s death. His Majesty has ordered all the troops of the Royal City Garrison to participate in the siege and has also issued a bounty. He will definitely avenge your son!”

Upon hearing that His Majesty had already ordered the encirclement and suppression, Bo'an naturally couldn't say anything more, only expressing his gratitude to Pact. "However, these two thieves, knowing they cannot fight the army, may try to escape directly from the nearest northern border. We must be on guard," Colin said, seemingly to himself, but actually speaking to Bo'an. He left Bo'an's office as he spoke.

Upon hearing Colin's words, Bo An's eyes darkened, and he immediately rang the small bell on the table. Soon, an officer walked in.

"commander!"

"You shall immediately proceed to Kali City and personally deliver the order to Fei Qi, instructing him to lead the Second Garrison Army to set up checkpoints and defenses around Kali City starting today. Upon encountering a man and a woman named Su Yang and Lin Anlan, kill them on the spot, without asking any questions!"

"Yes!"

Sigrid also received the news from the Chongsi Academy, and her heart raced. A sense of panic swept over her. She knew that Su Yang was powerful and had previously considered retreating, but she was no match for him. She was already in Colin's interest group, and it was too difficult to extricate herself. Now that Su Yang had escaped and Bo An had been killed on the spot, would she be next? She couldn't help but feel regret and anger, unable to extricate herself from this mix of shock, anger, hatred, and fear.

The royal city garrison has received the latest orders and has returned to normal from the chaos. The military commanders of each unit immediately organized their respective troops and marched rapidly towards Suyang Farm outside the city.

Su Yang had already returned to the farm ahead of everyone else. As soon as he landed, Lin Anlan rushed into the house to start packing her luggage. But Su Yang sat leisurely on the sofa, staring blankly at the fireplace. Lin Anlan came down from the second floor and saw Su Yang still sitting on the sofa. She said anxiously, "Su Yang, why are you still sitting? Hurry up and pack your things, or you won't be able to leave!"

Su Yang did not reply. Instead, he summoned Jiu Li and asked, "When Mr. Gu Wushuang was here, did he never kill anyone in his entire life?"

Jiuli didn't understand the meaning of Su Yang's question, but he didn't seem to have any recollection of it, especially if he included the spirit in the bracelet... but that didn't seem to count as murder. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't remember it. What's wrong, Mr. Su?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I've been thinking about a saying: 'There was originally no road in this world, but as more people walk on it, it becomes a road,'" Su Yang murmured.

"At this point, who cares about the road? Hurry up and pack your things, we should leave." Lin Anlan didn't understand what Su Yang was saying, but she urged anxiously and reached out to pull Su Yang, but Su Yang held her down. He stood up and gently patted Lin Anlan's shoulder, saying, "Anlan, there's a saying in my world: 'A good start is better than a bad one.'"

After speaking, Su Yang went into the study, took out a book, and sat down to read quietly. This scene made Lin Anlan anxious; she couldn't understand what Su Yang was up to, and why he was reading at a time like this. Jiuli, standing nearby, also had a bad feeling, but couldn't guess Su Yang's thoughts either.

Soon, the first batch of royal city garrison troops arrived, surrounding Su Yang's Luoyin Farm and waiting for reinforcements. Before long, most of the troops had assembled. They tentatively attacked the farm gate and found no resistance. Several bolder soldiers kicked down the gate, while others damaged the walls. Soon, the walls and the farm gate were pushed down, and a large number of soldiers, armed with spears, advanced towards Su Yang's house in an attack formation.
