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

Su Yang and Lin Anlan spent a long time choosing before finally buying a suitable hat. It was a hat with a built-in veil, similar to a conical hat, but much smaller. It could be considered a special kind of clothing in this world.

After putting on their hats, the two felt reassured and left the clothing store, swaggering down the street. With the hats covering their faces, Su Yang felt a bit more at ease, at least he didn't have to walk around hiding like before.

The two had barely left the clothing store when soldiers from the prefectural command arrived, led by some busybodies.

"Commander Liu, that's the shop. The people from before were inside, a man and a woman."

"Alright, you can wait here. Once I've verified everything, you can go to the Prefectural Commandant's office to collect your reward."

"Thank you, sir!"

"On my command, surround that shop in front!"

The soldiers from the prefectural command immediately rushed forward and surrounded the shop. Commander Liu strode into the shop, looked around, and questioned the shop owner: "I'm asking you, did a man and a woman come in earlier? Take another look, is the man the person in this portrait?"

He placed the portrait on the counter, and the shopkeeper nervously took it. He quickly recalled the scene and soon answered nervously, "Yes... there was a man and a woman who came to buy hats. The man looks a lot like the person in the portrait."

"What about them?"

"They left a few minutes ago, they turned right after they went out."

What kind of hat did you buy?

"A hat with a face mask."

After understanding the information, Commander Liu immediately ordered, "Everyone! Go after him immediately, find the man wearing the mask and hat, and bring him back!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers of the Prefectural Commandant's Office sped up and gave chase. Across from the clothing store, two groups of people dressed as adventurers, upon discovering that the store was surrounded and that the Prefectural Commandant's Office soldiers seemed to be pursuing someone, immediately realized that their target was no longer there. So they set off before the soldiers and chased after Su Yang.

These two teams of adventurers were recruited by Tang Wan and Shi Yao'er respectively. Tang Wan recruited the Orange Sky-level adventurer team, Qingfeng. This is a veteran adventurer team that directly uses the two characters "Qingfeng" from the Qingfeng tree as its team name. After several personnel changes, the name "Qingfeng" has gradually become the team's trademark, attracting many excellent adventurers who want to become reserve members of the Qingfeng team.

Shi Yao'er didn't find a full team of adventurers. Instead, she gathered people from all over the place, prioritizing elementals of higher rank. Although each of them could handle things on their own, their teamwork was poor, and the class distribution was not as reasonable as a complete adventure team. Most of them were warriors or rogues.

"Boss, our mission is to protect that man and bring him back to the Tang family. What if we get into a conflict with the county magistrate's troops?" Wang Xiangyang, a soldier in the Qingfeng Squad, asked Captain Zhang Caijun with some concern.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We need to find that person before the guards do and take him away as soon as possible to avoid conflict with them. Let's speed things up, Hai'er, thank you for your help." Zhang Caijun looked at the healer, He Hai'er.

"Okay." He Hai'er agreed, then added a quick recovery buff to the entire team so they could travel quickly. After the buff was applied, the Qingfeng team set off quickly, speeding away.

"Alright, now that we know his location, let's each rely on our own abilities. He's just a somewhat powerful elementalist. Let's agree on this first: whoever kills him first gets the reward. Everyone, I'll go first." In the elementalist team assembled by Shi Yao'er, a warrior named Feng Tianyou was very confident in his strength. After saying this, he walked away on his own.

Seeing his arrogance, the others were dissatisfied, but since everyone's strength was about the same and it was uncertain who would get the reward in the end, they also quickly separated and went to snipe Su Yang.

Meanwhile, Su Yang and Lin Anlan were walking down the street when Su Yang felt a strange unease creeping into his heart. He kept a close eye on the radar's reaction, but the crowd of pedestrians made it difficult for him to make any judgments. Just as he was focusing on the radar's movements, several bright spots suddenly appeared behind them, rapidly approaching their location. Sensing something was wrong, Su Yang pulled Lin Anlan into a small alley.

"What's wrong?" Lin Anlan was puzzled by the sudden appearance in the alley, but seeing Su Yang's nervous demeanor, she guessed that something might be wrong.

The two men huddled close to the alley wall, watching the soldiers rushing past on the main road. Su Yang knew these men were most likely after him, so he decided it wasn't safe to stay there any longer and pulled Lin Anlan deeper into the alley. Before long, a man suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. He was leaning against the wall, carrying a large knife. Seeing Su Yang and Lin Anlan approaching, he said, "Brothers, we're just trying to make a living, don't be offended!"

This man was Feng Tianyou. As soon as he finished speaking, he tossed the large sword low into the air, then kicked it out, sending it hurtling straight towards Su Yang's face with incredible speed. However, this attack posed no threat to Su Yang and his companion. Su Yang slightly shifted his body, then raised his hand and slapped the sword, embedding it vertically into the ground. Su Yang, bewildered as to why this man was attacking him, stared coldly at him.

"What are you doing!" Lin Anlan questioned from the side, but Feng Tianyou ignored her and slowly drew another large knife from behind him before saying, "It's all for making a living." Blue waves emanated from his right wrist, and his aura rose steadily. When it stopped at a certain point, Lin Anlan judged his strength.

"Leave the fifth-tier elementalist to me, Su Yang."

Su Yang stopped Lin Anlan and said in a cold voice, "He wants to kill me, I'll deal with it myself."

Once Feng Tianyou was ready, he leaped forward with a burst of speed, his blade imbued with a pale blue elemental aura. He swung his blade from several meters away, unleashing a wave of energy resembling sword qi. Following the sword qi were several sharp ice pillars. Su Yang was about to step forward to meet the attack when he seemed to sense something and pulled Lin Anlan back a few steps.

At this moment, a person fell from the sky and stood in front of Su Yang. A stone shield rose from the ground and completely blocked Feng Tianyou's attack. Then, five people appeared at the alley entrance and rushed to Su Yang. The leader, Zhang Caijun, stared at Feng Tianyou, who appeared after the stone shield was removed, and said to Su Yang without turning around: "We will block him and the guards. You should follow my companions."

"The Green Maple Squad!" Feng Tianyou exclaimed in slight surprise. Why did the Green Maple Squad seem to be here to protect this person?

"Now that you know our reputation, why don't you leave at once!" Zhang Caijun shouted.

"Haha, Feng Tianyou, it seems that it will be difficult for you to do it alone. Well, for the sake of the generous reward, we will help you today."

Looking around, Zhang Caijun saw the remaining six hired elementals beside Feng Tianyou. Each of them looked quite strong, which made Zhang Caijun feel uncertain: "It looks like today is going to be a tough battle!"
