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

After observing for a while, the two noticed that the woman was walking unsteadily against the cold wind, and her clothes were thin and tattered, making her look exactly like a refugee.

Lin Anlan observed for a long time, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed. After a long while, she recalled and whispered to Su Yang, "Do you remember, Lena saved a woman at the entrance of the farm before?"

"The woman Lena saved?" Su Yang was taken aback, then began to recall. They had only lived on the new farm for a short time, and only a few major events had occurred during that time. Soon, Su Yang remembered that there was indeed a woman who had asked for help in front of his farm gate, and it was Lena who had saved her. She was Carol, who was later taken away by Sigrid.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be having a bad time with Lena. Although someone used Lena to frame him, Su Yang still thought Lena was generally kind and wouldn't do anything heinous. But now this woman is here, dressed in rags, which is really puzzling.

The woman in the distance continued walking slowly, but seemed to be running out of strength. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell on the snow. She tried to get up, but after struggling for a long time, she couldn't get up. Seeing this, Lin Anlan immediately pulled Su Yang over, turned her over, and held her in her arms. She checked Su Yang's breath and found it was still faint.

"She's still alive. Let's take her back to the tree hollow first."

“Okay, I’ll carry her.” After saying that, Su Yang squatted down and let Lin Anlan put Carol on his back. After placing her properly, he got up and ran towards the tree hole. Once inside the tree hole, he leaned Carol against the trunk. Su Yang then found many branches and leaves nearby and blocked the tree hole from the inside to prevent the cold wind from getting in.

Lin Anlan took off his outer garment and covered Carol with it. He then activated his fire elemental power to cover Carol's entire body with elemental energy, raising her temperature. Before long, under the continuous warmth, Carol gradually regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake? How are you feeling?" Lin Anlan, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed Carol's change and asked with concern.

"Where...where am I?" Carol was still very weak, and her words were broken and her voice was very weak. Lin Anlan had to get close to hear what she was saying.

"You just fainted on the road, and we happened to be nearby. You're currently in a tree hollow, which is also our temporary resting place. It's relatively safe for now, so don't worry," Lin Anlan comforted her. She figured that Carol had most likely fled here and must be very sensitive, so she wanted her to rest for a while longer.

Perhaps because she had just regained consciousness, Carol looked around somewhat uneasily before falling into a deep sleep, while Lin Anlan and Su Yang stayed by her side.

The next day at dawn, Carol opened her eyes again, but she was in much better spirits than the night before. She leaned against the side and looked at Su Yang and the other person who were still fast asleep in front of her. Her mind instantly recalled the day she ran to the farm for help. Although it wasn't these two who saved her, they knew that woman, so they probably weren't bad people.

Perhaps she had been in one position for too long, so Carol wanted to change positions. However, the space inside the tree hole was small, and any slight movement would touch Su Yang and Lin Anlan on either side. Su Yang sensed this and woke up, which made Carol feel very embarrassed for disturbing Su Yang's rest.

Su Yang opened his sleepy eyes and looked up, immediately seeing Carol awake and staring at him with wide eyes. Su Yang was stunned for a moment, then reached out to shake Lin Anlan. Soon Lin Anlan also woke up, muttering, "What's wrong?"

She rubbed her eyes and saw Carol: "Oh? You're awake. How are you feeling?"

"Hmm... I feel much better now, thank you for saving me." Carol lowered her head for a moment, then quickly raised it again and sincerely thanked Lin Anlan.

“It’s alright, we happen to be nearby. Do you remember that farm we went to for help before?” Lin Anlan asked.

“Yes, I remember. A young lady named Lena saved me. You were there too,” Carol replied immediately.

"Actually, we only helped you last night because you looked familiar and reminded us of when you came to us for help. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have helped anyone else." Lin Anlan's honesty made Su Yang feel uncomfortable. It was too direct and didn't take Carol's feelings into consideration at all.

“I know that helping me is a favor, not your obligation. If it were me, I wouldn’t help a stranger either.” Carol didn’t seem to care and readily accepted Lin Anlan’s statement, which surprised Su Yang.

"Huh? What's your name? What are you doing here? Didn't Lena heal you? Did something bad happen to you again?" Lin Anlan bombarded him with questions, one after another, making Su Yang feel like his head was about to explode.

In contrast, Carol simply waited quietly for Lin Anlan to finish asking his questions. After sorting through all the questions, she answered them one by one: "My name is Fitz Carol. Someone bought me for a high price at the Black Servant Market, so I was attacked by the people from the Black Servant Market. On the way to the Royal City, I found a chance to escape, which is why I met Miss Lena and the two of you."

After briefly explaining her previous situation, which served as a prelude to her answer, Carol continued, "After being rescued by Miss Lena, I was initially treated at her residence. However, I was later taken away by the owner of the Black Servant Market, and the person who wanted to buy me at a high price also came to take me away. I thought I had no way out, but unexpectedly, the owner of the Black Servant Market insisted on healing my injuries before selling me. That's how my injuries slowly healed."

"Because I didn't have the elemental bracelet, I could only continue to stay injured, constantly tearing my wounds open in order to find a chance to escape. Eventually, I found an opportunity and took advantage of the lax supervision to escape. I hid in the royal city until I finally found a chance to leave."

"I had no money or food, so I could only run north on foot. My home was in Kali City, which was not far ahead. Once I reached Kali City, I would be absolutely safe. However, after traveling day and night without food, I finally couldn't hold on any longer. Fortunately, I met you two."

Carol briefly recounted her experiences, but apart from her name, she didn't reveal anything about her background. Su Yang lowered his head in thought. From Carol's demeanor and words, he could tell that she was probably a noblewoman, or at least a lady from a prominent family. Since she could be absolutely safe in Cali City, it meant that her family must be very powerful there, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken so confidently. The owner of the Black Servant Market was Sigrid, and anyone who could evade Sigrid's pursuit must at least be from a family with the title of Earl.

Lin Anlan gritted her teeth after hearing this. Because the Duchy of Paisen was a neutral trading nation, she had no interest in it. Moreover, the country was small and had no ruins or unknown places to explore, so she didn't know much about it. Now, after experiencing so many things in the duchy, she gradually saw the true nature of the country and couldn't help but feel angry.

Seeing Su Yang remain silent and Lin Anlan standing to the side with a livid face, Carol took the initiative to ask, "May I ask the names of our two benefactors?"

"Oh, my name is Lin Anlan, and his name is Su Yang," Lin Anlan replied, snapping out of her daze.

"Are those two benefactors also heading to Kali City?"

“Yes, we plan to leave through Kali City…” Lin Anlan was about to reveal their purpose when Su Yang tugged at her clothes, drawing her attention. Lin Anlan turned her head and saw Su Yang staring at her. She immediately realized what he meant and changed her words, “We plan to go to Kali City to take a look.”

Carol observed both of their actions. After a moment's thought, she asked directly, "Are you two benefactors planning to leave the border of the Duchy of Paisen through the city of Kali? If so, I can help you."

"Really!?" Lin Anlan was overjoyed. Ignoring Su Yang's winking and gesturing, she felt that Carol had no reason to harm her. Rather than hiding it, she might as well admit it openly. Maybe there really was a way to leave the Duchy of Paison.

“Yes, my father was the commander of the Second Garrison of Cali City. Before he was kidnapped, I also held a military position in the Second Garrison,” Carol said with certainty.

"Wow, that's great! To be honest, Su Yang and I got into trouble in the royal city, and now the entire Duchy of Paisen is probably offering a bounty on us. Moreover, it seems that Kali City has already received the order. If we go there, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?" Lin Anlan expressed his concerns and told Carol about Su Yang's and his current situation.

Carol pondered for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something and said, "How about this, you cover your faces with your clothes and come into the city with me. I have some reputation in the Second Army, so as long as I don't agree, they shouldn't dare to investigate you."

"Will this work?" Lin Anlan had some concerns. She felt it was too risky, especially since she and Carol had only just met and she didn't know much about her situation. So she looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang was also pondering this. Perhaps the only option left was to believe what Carol said. If the two of them continued to hesitate, the pursuers behind them might catch up soon, and then it would be another fierce battle. He hadn't had a chance to rest. The last battle had almost depleted his cloud element reserves. Jiu Li's departure had rendered his air element unusable, and his earth element level wasn't high enough. Right now, he only had mist and light elements available. In addition, there were the three ice-winged hounds and Little Orange keeping watch outside the tree hole. He could manage one or two battles, but if there were too many enemies, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold out.

After considering various factors, Su Yang quickly made up his mind and said, "Let's set off now."

The concise and powerful words surprised Carol. Su Yang had been silent all along, and Lin Anlan had been the one in charge. She thought Su Yang was rather timid and introverted, but she didn't expect him to be so decisive. This immediately changed her impression of Su Yang.

"Okay, let's pack quickly and set off."

Su Yang and Lin Anlan packed Xiao Ju and Xiao Shi Hua into backpacks, and called back the three Icewing Dogs. Following Carol's advice, they handed them all over to her. They also wrapped their heads with clothes, leaving only their eyes exposed. After everything was ready, the three of them and the three dogs headed towards Kali City.

After entering the main road and walking for a while, they could see the city walls of Kali. A few steps further, they encountered a patrol of soldiers. When the soldiers saw Su Yang and his companions, they approached and loudly ordered, "Show your identification and passes, and put down your luggage for inspection!"

"Just follow my instructions," Carol said in a low voice. Then the three of them stood still and waited for the soldiers to approach.

As the soldiers approached, they all stared at Carol, who was at the front, as if they all knew her. One of the soldiers at the back asked, puzzled, "What are you all looking at?"

The leading soldier looked and felt something was wrong, until he was completely stunned, dropping his water bottle. The others did the same, and then they all choked up as they asked, "Miss Carol? Are you Miss Carol?"

Carol's eyes also reddened. She nodded slightly and said firmly, "It's me, Fizz Carol."

"It really is Miss Carol! Quick! Go back and report to the commander! Miss Carol is back!" The leading soldier ordered the soldier who had asked the question earlier.

"Huh? Oh, okay!" Although he didn't understand why, he still carried out the order and ran towards the city of Kali.

"Miss, where have you been all this time? The commander has been looking for you for a long time." Seemingly realizing that the place was not right, the leading soldier changed his words again: "Oh, let's go into the city first. The commander has been waiting for you."

"it is good."

"By the way, who are these two?" The leading soldier looked at Su Yang and the other person behind Carol and asked in confusion.

“They are my saviors. I am able to come back this time thanks to them. I want to take them to see my father.”

"Of course, thank you both for rescuing our Miss Carol, please!"

Led by the soldiers, the three headed towards the city of Kali and soon arrived at the city gate. The guards, having heard the patrolling soldiers' story, looked on with excitement and surrounded Carol, showering her with concern. Su Yang could tell that Carol held a high position in the hearts of these soldiers.

At this moment, the soldier who went to deliver the message returned, and the carriage behind him slowly came to a stop. A burly man stepped down from the carriage, and the surrounding soldiers lined up and saluted him. This man was none other than Fezi, the true administrator of Kali City and the commander of the Second Garrison.

The moment Fei Qi stepped off the carriage and saw Carol, his tense expression immediately relaxed. Su Yang could see a complex mix of emotions on his face: surprise, joy, sadness, relief, and even a hint of anger. Fei Qi strode over and pulled Carol into his arms, saying nothing, simply holding his daughter tightly.

The soldier who delivered the message was puzzled and asked the other soldiers around him in a low voice, "Who is this woman?"

"Are you new here?"

"Yes."

“Miss Carol is the Commander’s only daughter. Don’t underestimate her just because she’s a girl. She’s a very prominent figure in our Second Army. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also a fourth-level elementalist at such a young age. Her martial arts skills are extraordinary. She’s truly a gem among all the border guards.”
