Su Yang noticed their wariness, so he stopped a short distance away and said to Lin Anlan beside him, "They seem very wary. They're probably worried that we're bad guys. Why don't you go and talk to them first?"

Lin Anlan nodded, then jumped off the carriage and walked slowly, greeting everyone softly as she went: "Hello, we are adventurers heading to Qingfeng County. It's dark now, and we saw some light here, so we thought it was a good place to camp. We were wondering if it would be alright if we could just set up camp here?"

After speaking these words in a soft voice, Lin Anlan herself felt a little uncomfortable. When did she start speaking so politely?

The six girls opposite were all quite young. Judging from their faces, the two in front should be the oldest, but they were probably only in their early twenties. The four girls behind them looked nervous and were not as calm as the two in front, so they were probably younger.

What intrigued Su Yang was that the six people were clearly dressed as adventurers, indicating they were a team. But how could they form an all-female adventurer squad? Putting aside other professions, the role of a bodyguard is not one that just anyone can take on. Judging from the size of these girls, it seemed that none of them could fulfill the duties of a bodyguard.

Upon hearing Lin Anlan's question, the six girls exchanged glances, and finally one of the girls standing in front spoke up: "Are there only the two of you?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can check our carriage." Lin Anlan offered to let them check the carriage in case they didn't believe her.

After whispering and discussing among themselves, the girl finally said, "Then you can stay on the side."

"OK, thanks."

After receiving permission, Lin Anlan returned to the carriage and directed Su Yang to drive the carriage to a stop not far from the carriages of the six girls. Then, Su Yang went to find some wood nearby, while Lin Anlan took the luggage off the carriage and took out the food to wait for Su Yang to return.

Before long, Su Yang returned carrying a bundle of wood. After arranging it, a wisp of flame ignited from Lin Anlan's fingertip and then struck the woodpile, instantly adding a ray of light to the dark night.

The two sat by the fire, eating their food in silence. Because there were strangers around, Su Yang didn't want to talk. Seeing Su Yang's silence, Lin Anlan also simply stopped talking. Their silence, however, caused the girls on the other side to start whispering among themselves.

"Hey? Sister Ning, why aren't those two talking? I have a chill down my spine. Can you check if they're staring at us?" a younger girl asked.

Shen Yangning, who was called Sister Ning, gently tapped her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Then she quickly glanced at the two people beside her, and then lowered her head and said, "They're not looking this way, don't worry."

"Sister Ning, I don't think they're bad people. Why don't we invite them to come along?" another girl suggested.

But her suggestion was met with opposition from another person: "No, Sister Yiyun, what if they really are bad people?"

Zhu Yiyun, however, did not take it seriously: "It's unlikely. I don't know if you noticed, but that woman is also a demon. Even if she's not a demon, she should be a demon human. Look at the horns on her head."

After Zhu Yiyun said that, the girls immediately looked up at Lin Anlan at the same time, but Shen Yangning pulled them back and whispered, "What are you doing? Look at them one by one."

After everyone had taken turns observing, they began to discuss.

"Really! Judging from her relatively small horns, she must be a demon. That means she's from the Empire."

"What Sister Yiyun said might actually be true; they probably aren't bad people."

"But that guy is alright looking, kind of handsome!" The girl who said this immediately drew scornful looks from the remaining five people, and she shut her mouth in embarrassment.

"Alright, let's stop discussing this. I'll ask." In the end, Shen Yangning ended the discussion and prepared to try to invite them herself.

She sat up straight, looked in the direction of Su Yang and Lin Anlan, cleared her throat, and asked, "Um, would you two like to have dinner with us? We just started eating."

Upon hearing this, Lin Anlan immediately looked at Su Yang and asked in a low voice, "Why don't we go over together? It'll be more lively with more people."

Su Yang's worst fears came true. He munched on bread and kept waving his hand to indicate that he didn't want to go.

"Let's go, let's go together."

Seeing Lin Anlan's repeated invitations, Su Yang could only swallow the bread in his mouth and whisper, "You know I really don't want to go. You go ahead, don't worry about me."

"Ok."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Su Yang, Lin Anlan had no choice but to stand up and walk over to the six girls. The six girls made room for her as she approached. After Lin Anlan sat down, Shen Yangning pointed to Su Yang, who was still sitting in the same spot, and asked in confusion, "Isn't he coming with us?"

Lin Anlan looked back and explained, "Oh, he's not very good at dealing with strangers, so he's not coming over."

"I see." Shen Yangning then asked, "Are you two adventurers too?"

"Yes, we're planning to go to Qingfeng County to find the Adventurers' Guild and take on some quests."

"Sister, are you a demon or a member of the demon race?" a girl asked impatiently.

Lin Anlan touched the two horns on his head and smiled sheepishly, "I am a demon."

"Then you and Sister Yiyun are both demons!" The girl said, pointing to Zhu Yiyun next to Lin Anlan. Lin Anlan couldn't help but turn to look at Zhu Yiyun, who slowly took off the hat on her head and said, "My name is Zhu Yiyun, and I am also a demon. What's your name?"

"Oh, hello." Lin Anlan paused for a moment, then nodded slightly to Zhu Yiyun and said, "My name is Lin Anlan, and my companion sitting over there is Su Yang."

"Lin Anlan!?" Zhu Yiyun exclaimed upon hearing this name, "You're the captain of the Blood Squad, you're Sister Anlan!?"

"Do you know me?" Lin Anlan was somewhat surprised. She knew that the Blood Squad was famous, but their reputation was not good. Judging from Zhu Yiyun's expression, she seemed quite surprised.

"Yes! You're my idol! Not just me, I often talk about you with my friends from the Six Flowers. You can ask them if you don't believe me." Zhu Yiyun acted like a little fangirl, her eyes full of excitement.

Lin Anlan looked at the other five people, and they all nodded, indicating that Zhu Yiyun was not lying to her.

"Rokuyōhana? Is that your team's name?"

"Yes, this name represents the six of us. Our team is all girls, so we chose this name. We also want to prove ourselves, and our goal is to become the renowned Crimson Storm-class adventurer team!"
