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

Back on the street, the two hadn't walked far when they ran into a familiar face—Commander Liu from the Prefectural Commander's Office. Commander Liu was only accompanied by two guards this time. Upon seeing Su Yang, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, then said, "Young Master Su, the Prefectural Commander is looking for you. He wants to fulfill a promise to you. Please come with me."

After Liu Tongbing finished speaking in an unquestionable tone, he gestured for Su Yang and Lin Anlan to "please." It seems that soldiers are all so direct; once they say something, they do it properly, and if they tell you to go, you have to go with them.

Helpless, the two could only follow behind Liu Tongbing, heading towards the prefectural governor's office. In truth, Su Yang was quite looking forward to Shi Jinpeng fulfilling his promise. After all, Riguang had given them a lot of gold coins because of the poisoning incident, and this time, fulfilling the promise might give them even more. Such opportunities to make big money would be rare on their future adventures.

Soon the group arrived at the Prefectural Commandant's residence. Commander Liu handed the two over to the steward before leaving. The steward smiled at Su Yang and said, "Young Master Su, the master has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."

Led by the steward, Su Yang entered the Prefectural Commandant's residence once again. Upon arriving at the main hall, Shi Jinpeng and Tang Guangquan were discussing the wedding date and details between the two families. Shi Yao'er and Tang Tianlei sat on either side of their parents, gazing at each other with affection, their eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"Master, Young Master Su and Miss Lin have arrived."

Upon seeing Su Yang enter, Shi Jinpeng immediately stood up to greet him: "Oh! Young Master Su, I've been looking for you for ages! Hahaha, come, have a seat."

Upon seeing this, Shi Yao'er and Tang Tianlei also stood up and bowed to Su Yang. Shi Yao'er looked at the expert in front of her who had almost been poisoned to death with embarrassment, feeling ashamed. She only said softly, "This humble girl Shi Yao'er greets Young Master Su."

The sudden enthusiasm puzzled Su Yang. He could understand Shi Jinpeng's enthusiasm towards him, but why was Jinpeng's daughter also bowing to him? Didn't she not want to marry him?

After taking their seats, Shi Jinpeng spoke frankly to Su Yang, saying, "Young Master Su, there are three main things I wanted to discuss with you today. The first one..."

When Su Yang heard that there were three more things to ask him, he felt like his head was about to explode. But then he heard Shi Jinpeng say sternly to Shi Yao'er, "Yao'er, apologize to Young Master Su now!"

Shi Yao'er had no complaints. She lowered her head and walked up to Su Yang, saying softly, "I'm sorry, Young Master Su. I was young and ignorant. I poisoned your food that day and had Zhao Feiguang try to kill you during the arena. It was all my fault. I didn't understand the situation and acted on my own. Please forgive me, Young Master."

Su Yang was stunned: "What's going on? I know about the poisoning, but Zhao Feiguang tried to kill me? I didn't feel anything..." But since the other party said so, it means that it really happened.

Just as Su Yang was pondering, Shi Jinpeng, thinking that Su Yang was still angry and that was why he was silent, said, "Yao'er, your apology is not sincere enough. Young Master Su is obviously not satisfied. Apologize again!"

Shi Yao'er was about to do as instructed, but Su Yang hurriedly stopped her: "No, no, no, I didn't."

"So, Young Master Su has forgiven my daughter?" Shi Jinpeng asked happily.

Su Yang didn't speak, only nodded. But inwardly he thought, "What a joke! Under this social system, for the county magistrate's daughter to apologize to me repeatedly, I'd be asking for too much credit..."

Shi Jinpeng beamed and gestured for Shi Yao'er to sit back down. He continued, "Young Master Su, the second matter is to fulfill our promise from that day. You have done what you promised, and I should do what I promised. Someone, come here!"

At his command, a soldier entered from outside, carrying two bags that looked quite heavy. The soldier placed the two bags on the tea table next to Su Yang, revealing their contents. Su Yang's eyes widened instantly. One of the bags contained glittering gold coins, and judging from the heavy sound of the bag being placed on the tea table, there were quite a few gold coins.

However, the contents of the other bag piqued Su Yang's curiosity. It was a wooden box, and he didn't know what was inside. Just as he was about to signal Lin Anlan to ask, Shi Jinpeng's voice reached his ears: "Young Master Su, here are two hundred gold coins and a set of top-grade forging materials. I saw that you are a user of light elements the other day, so this S-grade forging material will surely be of great use to you in the future."

After hearing this, Lin Anlan opened the wooden box and saw a ring-shaped object that looked like glass. Lin Anlan felt that it was familiar, but it was S-grade casting material after all, and it was indeed a very generous gift.

But Su Yang was troubled. Compared to the casting material of the Light Element Bracelet, he wanted the Earth Element material more. He already had the Light Element Bracelet, but after thinking it over, he decided to accept it. Why not take something that's free? Even if it's just an extra S-grade bracelet, it's good for him.

"Thank you very much then." Su Yang bowed and thanked him simply, then Lin Anlan put away the gifts.

"Hmm." Seeing that Su Yang had accepted the gift, Shi Jinpeng then said to Tang Guangquan, who was standing to the side, "As for the third matter, I think it would be better if Brother Tang could bring it up?"

“Alright.” Tang Guangquan readily agreed, then turned to Su Yang and said, “Young Master Su, before discussing the third matter, I think we should first clarify things concerning my son, Yao’er, and matters related to you…”

Then Tang Guangquan explained in detail the fake identities of Tang Tianlei and Shi Yaoer, their love affair, the marriage alliance between the Tang and Shi families, Tang Wan's encounter with Su Yang, and the foolish moves made by the Tang siblings and Shi Yaoer. Only then did Su Yang realize that he had been inexplicably caught up in a misunderstanding.

"Therefore, Brother Shi and I have just decided to invite Young Master Su to act as our matchmaker. This is not only our suggestion, but also our hope that you, Young Master Su, will witness the happiness of our two families' younger generation. What do you think, Young Master Su?"

"A matchmaker?" Su Yang thought to himself, "Someone like a matchmaker, right? Hmm, that should be it." With this thought in mind, Su Yang unconsciously nodded. Shi Yao'er saw all of this and, assuming Su Yang's nod, immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Young Master agrees! Thank you, Young Master!"

"Huh?" Before Su Yang could react, he saw Shi Jinpeng, Tang Guangquan, and Tang Tianlei all excitedly thanking him. This situation left him scratching his head. First, he hadn't agreed yet, and second, why were they so excited?

Lin Anlan then leaned close to Su Yang's ear and whispered, "Are you really willing to be the matchmaker?"

"I didn't agree!"

"Then why did you nod just now?"

"I..." Su Yang was truly at a loss for words. He had only been thinking about what a matchmaker was, and his subconscious nod was taken as consent.

"But it's also quite good. Not just anyone can be a matchmaker; it's a great honor," Lin Anlan added.

"How to say?"

At this moment, Tang Guangquan overheard their conversation and said with a smile, "Young Master Su, you may not know this, but Qingfeng County has always valued the concept of fate. The story of the Qingfeng Pact is truly regrettable. Therefore, all marriages in Qingfeng County go through a process under the Qingfeng tree to make up for the regret of the Qingfeng Pact. The so-called matchmaker is not someone that can be just anyone. They must be someone who has a connection with both the man and woman and plays a significant role in their marriage."

"Recent events prove that you, Young Master Su, are the most suitable matchmaker!"
