The carriage sped out of the northern border of the Principality of Paisen, quickly disappearing from Fei Qi's sight from the city wall. Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Fei Qi glanced back at the Second Army soldiers standing guard below the city wall, then looked up at the distant headquarters, muttering, "Perhaps I should make my own cut..."

He then descended the city wall and headed straight home. When Fei Qi returned home, Carol greeted him, asking with concern, "Father, have Mr. Su and Miss Lin left?"

Fitz didn't speak, only nodded slightly, then plopped down on the sofa in silence. Carol was puzzled. Logically, after resolving such a major issue, the atmosphere should have been much more relaxed. Why was her father so silent?

"Father?" Carol called out tentatively.

Upon hearing Carol's call, Fech didn't make any significant movements, but simply stared at Carol, making her feel uneasy. Although the tacit understanding between her and her father had long since become clear without needing many words, at this moment that understanding seemed to have been severed, and Carol truly couldn't discern Fech's true thoughts.

After a long silence, Fei Qi finally spoke slowly: "Daughter, perhaps you should stay at home for a while."

"Hmm...hmm?" Carol didn't understand what Fitz meant: "Father, everything is alright now, I can go back to the camp."

“No, you don’t need to go back to the barracks,” Fech said firmly, then he jumped up from the sofa and shouted, “Guards!”

Soon two soldiers walked in from outside. Fitzgerald held out his hand and said to Carol, "Daughter, give me your elemental bracelet."

"Why, Father?"

"Leave it to me!" Fei Qi's voice grew louder, commanding with an unquestionable expression.

Seeing that Carol was still unwilling to hand over the bracelet, Fitz ordered the soldiers waiting nearby, "Go and remove her bracelet. If she dares to resist, you are allowed to use force!"

"Yes! Commander!"

As Fech's personal guards, the two men did not hesitate at all and quickly stepped forward to Carol. One of them whispered, "Miss, I'm sorry."

The two then restrained Carol's hands, rolled up her sleeves, removed the elemental bracelet from her right hand, and returned to Fezi to hand it to him.

The commotion attracted Carol's mother, who went into the room and saw two soldiers fighting over her daughter's bracelet. She cried out in alarm, "What are you doing! What are you doing!"

Fitz showed her no mercy, sternly ordering, "Carol has disobeyed military orders. She is hereby dismissed from all military posts and confined to her home. She is not to leave the house!" He then turned to his two personal guards and said, "If Carol disobeys the confinement order, all personnel of the Second Garrison may be executed on the spot!"

After saying that, Fitzgerald strode away, leaving Carol and her mother at home with a blank expression.

Meanwhile, Su Yang and Lin Anlan, having traveled for an unknown amount of time, finally stopped and were seen again. They climbed out of the hidden compartment and greedily inhaled the fresh air. The members of the Black Whale Squad also disembarked from the carriage.

Seeing this, Lin Anlan quickly thanked them: "Lena, thanks to you all, we managed to escape from the duchy. Otherwise, we might have been caught in a fierce battle."

“As a friend, this is what I should do, but I don’t know what your plans are?” Lena asked worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Anlan glanced at Su Yang. Seeing that he remained silent, she didn't know how to respond. She could only say, "I haven't decided yet. Let's take it one step at a time. But judging from Su Yang's personality, he'll probably settle down in this Lingluo Great Forest." After saying that, she smiled and gave Su Yang a teasing look.

"Settle down here? This place is extremely dangerous. Moreover, the depths of the Spiritfall Forest are the territory of the elves. Without an invitation, entry is not permitted. If you accidentally wander into it, you'll be in big trouble."

"Don't worry, let's take a walk first. Just think of it as a relaxing stroll in the forest. Don't you know how strong we are? We'll definitely be fine."

Even though Lena was worried about Su Yang and the other person's situation, the time had come for them to part ways, as their Black Whale teammate was still waiting.

Lena waved goodbye to Su Yang and his companion, turning back several times as she was about to board the carriage. Then, as if remembering something, she turned back and whispered to Su Yang, "Don't forget, you haven't fulfilled one of your promises to me." Seeing Su Yang nod, she returned to the carriage, waving to them through the window. The carriage then slowly began to move again, continuing its journey deeper into the forest.

What should we do?

Once the carriage had driven far away, Lin Anlan asked. To be honest, what Lena had just said resonated with her, but there was also some selfishness involved. Firstly, living in the Lingluo Great Forest was not a wise choice. It was far from the city-state, necessities were scarce, and it wasn't very convenient. Secondly, Lin Anlan carried a blood feud. Over the years, she had constantly adventured and trained to become stronger, all in order to one day avenge herself and personally kill her father.

"How about we take a stroll through this forest first? This forest is quite different from the places we've been before," Su Yang suggested. Lin Anlan didn't object, and the two of them strolled leisurely through the forest, chatting idly.

Su Yang himself was also in a daze, looking at the endless forest, not knowing where to go, just as his life had no direction. As they walked, seeing that it was getting late, the two had no choice but to find a big tree, sit down at the base of the tree, and start a fire, sitting around it.

The forest was silent except for the birdsong and the crackling of the fire. Su Yang realized he hadn't checked his elemental status in a long time, so he entered the world of the Spirit Tree and, with practiced ease, went to the tree's roots to check his condition.

After checking, he found that nothing seemed to have changed. Looking up at the tree, Su Yang couldn't help but mutter, "Tree, if you really are a system, at least respond to me once. Apart from this information, you don't tell me any other key information. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in this world."

After a pointless rant, Su Yang exited the Spirit Tree world and opened his eyes to find Lin Anlan staring at him.

"What's wrong, Anlan?"

"Su Yang, there's something I've been thinking about."

"what's up?"

"Why don't you come with me on an adventure? After we've traveled all over the world, we'll find a quiet corner and live a peaceful life together. What do you say?"
