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

After staying at the inn for two days, Lin Anlan went out to gather information. At noon that day, Lin Anlan returned from outside, carrying lunch in her hand. She handed it to Su Yang and told him what she had learned that day.

"Here, eat up."

"Okay, any news today?" Su Yang opened the cloth bag, took out a piece of bread, took a bite, and asked.

"Hmm... the situation today is pretty much the same as the past two days. You can still see soldiers on the street frequently stopping and checking passersby, but they seem a bit laxer today. They're not as strict as they were the past two days, and the checks aren't as thorough. But when I asked the passersby this morning, they were all saying they were looking for you because they wanted you to participate in some kind of martial arts competition? They even said it was some kind of engagement competition? What, did you have an affair with some girl again? That's why she can't forget you."

"What are you talking about? We've been together all the time, how could that be? Besides, you know me well, I can barely talk to strangers, how could I possibly hang out with other girls?" Su Yang got a little anxious and quickly retorted.

"Alright, I was just teasing you." Lin Anlan laughed. "I don't think it's a big deal. How about we go out after you finish eating and buy a hat or a new outfit? Staying in the inn all the time isn't a good solution."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's set off now." Su Yang finished his bread in a few bites and prepared to leave.

Under Lin Anlan's cover, the two made it to the street. They hadn't gone two steps when they encountered a group of soldiers. Su Yang lowered his head. Fortunately, the soldiers were just passing by and did not notice anything unusual. It seemed they were just on patrol.

However, Su Yang walked openly on the street, and even though he was careful, there was nothing to cover his face, which inevitably attracted the attention of some people with ulterior motives. Some busybodies had imprinted Su Yang's image in their minds and would look for people who resembled him wherever they went.

Su Yang had only walked a few streets when he was spotted. The man was sitting at a roadside tea stall drinking tea. As Su Yang passed by, he glanced at Su Yang's face casually. He didn't pay much attention at first, but then he realized something and quickly took out the portrait he had obtained from the search soldiers. After careful comparison, he finally confirmed that Su Yang was the person in the portrait.

But by then Su Yang had already gone far away, and the man hurriedly chased after him from the tea stall. He caught up with Su Yang in no time. Just in case, he wanted to confirm it again before reporting to the authorities, and he soon found an opportunity.

Lin Anlan led Su Yang into a clothing store. As they entered, Su Yang inadvertently turned his head, revealing his face. The busybody who had been observing from a distance immediately recognized Su Yang and couldn't hide his excitement: "Great! We're rich!" He quickly turned around and headed towards the county magistrate's mansion.

Meanwhile, two other people were also secretly observing from two different locations. The moment Su Yang turned his head, the two of them immediately set off and left.

While handling official business, Shi Jinpeng quickly received a report from his servants that someone claimed to have found the person depicted in the portrait, who was in a clothing store. Shi Jinpeng was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to confirm. If it was true, he was to bring Su Yang back immediately. Upon receiving the order, a group of men quickly set off from the Prefectural Commandant's Office, heading towards Su Yang's location.

Tang Tianlei was in his study, staring blankly at the portrait he had recently acquired, wondering why the person looked so familiar. But soon there was a knock on the study door, and the person outside reported, "Young master, the person in the portrait has been found."

"Oh? So fast! Where is she? Lead the way!" Tang Tianlei was overjoyed, thinking that heaven was helping him. It seemed that there was still a chance for him and Yang'er to get married. He then hurriedly left the study. At this moment, Tang Wan was coming towards the study. Seeing Tang Tianlei leaving quickly, she asked in confusion, "Brother, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Tang Tianlei was preoccupied with the thought that killing the person in the portrait would ensure Yang'er wouldn't be forced into marriage, so he completely ignored Tang Wan, leaving her standing there in confusion. Puzzled, she went into the study and soon saw the portrait Tang Tianlei had placed on his desk. She picked it up and examined it closely, then exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this... isn't this the master I met that day? How did you get his portrait, brother?"

Just as she was filled with doubt and surprise, she heard a servant outside call out, "Miss, Miss, are you there?"

Tang Wan put down the portrait, went outside, and asked, "What is it?"

"Miss, the master is looking for you; he's in the council chamber."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Upon arriving at the council hall, Tang Wan's father, Tang Guangquan, was sitting in a grand chair drinking tea. When he saw Tang Wan enter, he gestured for her to sit down.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Tang Guangquan put down his teacup, sighed, and then said, "Wan'er, I do have some concerns about Lei'er's marriage."

"Father, what do you mean?"

"I only found out about this yesterday. Take a look at this first." He handed Tang Wan a folded piece of paper. Tang Wan took it, unfolded it, and frowned slightly. It was the portrait she had seen in Tang Tianlei's study earlier, but this portrait was more complete, and there was also a message from the Prefectural Commandant's Office about the reward for the man in the painting.

Tang Wan felt increasingly uneasy. Why was the person the Prefectural Commandant had offered a bounty for? And why did her brother have a portrait of that master? The two portraits were practically identical... Could it be...?

"Father, why is the Prefectural Commandant's Office offering a reward for this person?"

"Alas, it is said that this is an agreement between Commander Shi and his daughter. The engagement had not been mentioned before because of this agreement. Although the specific content of the agreement is unknown, it is definitely related to the person in the portrait. The Commander's Office suddenly issued a reward to have the man in the portrait participate in the engagement contest. If this man loses, the marriage between Commander Shi's daughter and Lei'er will be settled. If this man wins... hehehe, it seems unlikely."

"So, the expert I met is the person the Prefectural Commandant's Office is looking for, and he even needs to participate in the betrothal martial arts competition. It concerns my brother's marriage, so I need to explain this situation to him clearly. I can't let him act rashly." Tang Wan thought to herself, then made an excuse to say goodbye to her father and went out to look for Tang Tianlei.

Shi Yao'er also received the news. Xiao Luo reported that the man for whom the county magistrate's office had placed a bounty had been found, and that the master had also learned of this and had sent people to look for him. Shi Yao'er couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she immediately arranged, "Xiao Luo, you quickly send our people out to kill him before Father finds him. Then you go and inform Brother Sanshi and tell him to hurry up too."

In an instant, all three parties began to act simultaneously, but their purposes differed. Some wanted to protect Su Yang, while others wanted to kill him. Su Yang, caught in the vortex, was leisurely picking out hats in a clothing store, unaware that trouble was about to befall him.
