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

"Carol, my daughter, I'm so glad you're alright, so glad you're alright..."

Fitz still held Carol tightly in his arms, muttering to himself. The burly man's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, overwhelmed with joy at their reunion, so much so that his grip tightened even more than before.

Feeling the warmth of her father's embrace, Carol's long-suppressed grievances almost burst forth at this moment. But Carol, worthy of being called the "border jewel" by the soldiers, suppressed her fragile emotions and whispered, "Father, let's go back."

"Okay, okay, let's go back, let's go home." Hearing his daughter's words, Fezzie let go of Carol, took her hand, and started to walk towards the carriage.

“Father, and my two saviors,” Carol reminded him.

"Oh!" Fei Qi turned around, looked at Su Yang and Lin Anlan, and after sizing them up, said with some doubt, "Thank you both for saving my daughter, but why are you two..." Then Fei Qi seemed to realize something and said, "Please come with me, we'll talk when we get back."

Su Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With the two of them dressed like this, anyone would be suspicious. Fortunately, Fei Qi did not ask too many questions, so they had passed the first hurdle and were able to enter the city successfully by using Carol's identity. However, he did not know Fei Qi's character. What if he insisted on carrying out military orders after seeing their faces?

But there was no time to worry about that now. The two of them immediately followed Carol, got into the carriage, and headed to her house.

The carriage moved slowly. Inside, Fitzgerald draped a woolen coat over Carol's shoulders and showered her with concern, which made Carol feel somewhat uncomfortable. Fitzgerald was usually a strict father and a stern officer. If it weren't for his education and influence, Carol might not have joined the army.

"Father, I'm fine. My benefactor is still here," Carol said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hehe." Fei Qi chuckled awkwardly and stopped talking, shifting his attention to Su Yang and Fei Qi. He kept scrutinizing them, but to Su Yang, it was more like a scrutiny. Fei Qi's gaze was too sharp, as if he wanted to see right through him, which made Su Yang feel a lot of pressure.

The carriage finally stopped, and as the door opened, Su Yang got out and saw a woman pacing back and forth in front of the mansion gate not far away. When the woman saw Carol, she immediately rushed over and hugged Carol in her arms, just like Fei Qi did.

"Carol! My dear daughter, your mother was so worried about you! Where have you been?!"

Carol's mother spoke through tears, and her choked, trembling voice shattered Carol's already fragile emotions. Tears could no longer be held back and broke through the last barrier, falling down her cheeks.

"Mother......"

She buried her face in her mother's arms and burst into tears. The mother and daughter embraced and wept. Fei Qi turned her face to the side and rubbed her hands together incessantly, letting out a long sigh with each rub, as if she was trying her best to hold back her tears.

Besides the cries of Carol and her daughter, Su Yang also heard another soft sob. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Lin Anlan standing next to him with her shoulders trembling slightly. Perhaps moved by the mother-daughter bond, or perhaps she was reminded of her own mother, Lin Anlan also cried.

Yes, parents may differ in wealth, height, or appearance, but their love for their children is the same. For a moment, Su Yang thought of his own parents and wondered how worried they must be about him.

Seeing that Lin Anlan's shoulders were shaking more and more, Su Yang put his hand on her shoulder and patted it gently in an attempt to calm her down. Lin Anlan leaned into Su Yang's arms and gripped his clothes tightly. Su Yang also put his other hand around her and patted her back and shoulders gently.

"Ahem, um!" Fei Qi coughed a few times, seemingly reverting to his awe-inspiring Second Army Commander, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's go inside."

After saying that, he stepped forward and took his wife's arm, walking towards the gate of the mansion. Seeing this, Su Yang helped Lin Anlan follow and entered the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Carol was taken back to her room by her mother. Su Yang and Lin Anlan, led by Fei Qi, went to a reception room. As soon as they sat down, Su Yang felt that Fei Qi's aura had changed. With Carol not by his side, Fei Qi had reverted to his identity as the Second Army Commander, his eagle-like eyes scanning the two of them back and forth.

"Gentlemen, it shouldn't be cold in my room. May we show our faces first?" Fei Qifa asked.

Lin Anlan's emotions had calmed down considerably by this time. Upon hearing this, the two hesitated for a moment before taking off their clothes and revealing their true faces.

Fei Qi looked at Su Yang and his companion's faces and quickly recognized them as the wanted criminals ordered to be arrested by the military. He stood up abruptly, his eyes wide, and shouted, "Guards!"

This startled Su Yang. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe Fei Qi's voice as thunderous. Soon the door was opened, and two soldiers shouted in unison, "Commander!"

But when Fei Qi saw the soldiers, he hesitated again. The two men in front of him were indeed wanted criminals by the military, but they were also his daughter's saviors. If he captured them, he could report back to the military, but what would his daughter think? Moreover, he hadn't even asked about the specifics yet. Wouldn't it be too hasty to do this?

Fei Qi glanced at the positions of the soldier and Su Yang. Fortunately, Su Yang had his back to the door of the reception room, so the soldier didn't see their faces. Fei Qi then waved his hand and said, "It's alright, you can go now."

Although the two soldiers were confused, they obeyed orders and withdrew. Fitzgerald sat down again and asked, "Do you two understand your situation?"

"I know," Lin Anlan said calmly. After spending so much time together, Lin Anlan had almost gotten used to taking the lead when talking to strangers.

"Knowing you still dare to come to my Second Army's defense zone!" Fei Qi was puzzled and angry. These two must have planned it all along, using his daughter as a shield. In an instant, Fei Qi was almost convinced that Su Yang and his companion were the masterminds behind Carol's disappearance.

“Commander, we are at our wits’ end. To leave the Duchy of Paisen and enter the Spiritfall Forest, we have no choice but to risk crossing the border through Kali City. This is a desperate measure, especially since we have been framed.” Lin Anlan said, unfazed by Fei Qi’s powerful aura, word by word.

"My daughter Carol says you are her saviors, what's going on?"

"The situation is like this, back then..." Lin Anlan was about to speak when the door to the reception room was kicked open, and Carol rushed into the room, anxiously asking, "What happened?"
