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

"An agreement?" Tang Guangquan and Tang Wan both looked very puzzled.

"Yes."

"Young Master Su, please speak."

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yang finally voiced his long-held thoughts:

"First, I agree to let Miss Tang join the team and I will guarantee her safety. However, this is only for the time we are in the Tianyun Empire. Once we are ready to leave the Tianyun Empire and go on adventures in other parts of the world, Miss Tang will have to leave the team and go home. After all, there are still many unknowns in the world, and there may be dangers that we cannot deal with. At that time, if Miss Tang can become a high-level elementalist, it will be up to Miss Tang to decide whether to stay or leave. But if she cannot become a high-level elementalist, please keep your promise and return to Qingfeng County."

After hearing Su Yang's suggestion, Tang Guangquan and Tang Wan exchanged a glance. They both understood Su Yang's meaning. It was simply because Tang Wan's elemental level was not high, and they were worried that she would be a burden. In this regard, Tang Guangquan thought Su Yang's suggestion was reasonable. After all, no one wanted to take a burden on an adventure. It wasn't a vacation. Therefore, he could only let Tang Wan make the decision herself.

Tang Wan was naturally aware that with her current strength, although Su Yang's team was only at the Ziyang level, she and Lin Anlan alone, even with just the two of them, were already close to the Orange Sky level. It was just that they had to recruit seven team members due to the regulations of the Adventurers' Guild.

But this was the only chance right now, so Tang Wan didn't think too much about it and readily agreed to Su Yang's request: "Okay, I agree."

All of this was within Su Yang's expectations. Seeing that Tang Wan agreed, Su Yang said, "Then let's get ready, we'll set off in a bit."

Tang Wan responded and happily left the side hall to pack her luggage. Su Yang thought that a young lady like Tang Wan would take a long time to pack her luggage, and he was prepared to wait for an hour or two. Unexpectedly, Tang Wan was very quick and packed her luggage in less than 20 minutes. She stood at the door of the side hall with a bag on her back.

Tang Guangquan had originally planned to use the excuse of his daughter packing her luggage to invite Su Yang and his wife to have lunch before leaving, so that he could spend more time with his daughter. However, before he could even speak, Tang Wan had already finished packing and appeared in front of him. Now he had no excuse to ask her to stay, and he felt saddened. Indeed, daughters are hard to keep once they grow up.

The three arrived at the carriage that had been prepared. After putting away their luggage, Su Yang and Lin Anlan got into the carriage first. When the time to part came, Tang Wan was still filled with reluctance. She turned to look at her father, Tang Guangquan. Although he was sad, he still showed a kind smile on his face and waved to Tang Wan, signaling her to get into the carriage quickly.

He knew his daughter's personality; if he said anything sentimental at this moment, Tang Wan would probably burst into tears. Therefore, he suppressed his sadness and, together with Tang Tianlei and Shi Yaoer, saw Tang Wan off.

After boarding the carriage, Su Yang took the driver's seat, cracked the whip, and the carriage slowly moved forward, going further and further away until the gates of the Tang residence could no longer be seen.

Tang Wan finally managed to hold back her tears. After a moment of silence, she took the initiative to speak with Lin Anlan, asking, "Sister Anlan, where are we going next?"

Lin Anlan had originally intended to spend some quality time with Xiao Shihua and Xiao Ju in the carriage, but with a newcomer joining them, whose background she didn't know, she could only listlessly look out the window. When Tang Wan asked her question, she replied absentmindedly, "It should be Huaijing."

"Huaijing? I've heard that Huaijing has many fun places to visit, and I've always wanted to go, but I haven't had the chance. This is perfect, I can finally go and have a good look around." Tang Wan was quite excited after hearing this. As the capital, Huaijing has always held a mysterious attraction for people from other cities in the empire.

Lin Anlan seemed uninterested, giving only a perfunctory reply before falling silent. Tang Wan also sensed the subtle tension and assumed that Lin Anlan was unhappy about her sudden appearance, so she also stopped talking. All of this was overheard by Su Yang in the driver's seat. He knew the atmosphere was tense, but he didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so he could only focus on driving.

Leaving aside the trio's journey for now, after Su Yang entered the Heavenly Fortune Empire, the situation across the Dragon Absolute Continent was in turmoil. Since the true purpose of the Principality of Paisen's dispatch of troops became known to other countries, they all began to inquire about the Elemental Stones. Under pressure from numerous powerful nations, the Principality of Paisen was no longer able to send any troops to other countries.

After completing the reorganization of humanity, the Insulators quickly infiltrated the Principality of Paison. The highest-ranking Insulator even entered the military and replaced the former Chief of Staff Barry. They had access to core secrets. Through the intelligence gathered by the Insulators' spies infiltrating various countries, the Insulators also learned of the existence of the Elemental Stones and reported it to the Supreme Leader, the Chief of Staff.

However, the chief commander seemed to have known about this matter all along. Within half a day, he issued the latest mission and arrangements. After discussion, the guardians Shen Yao and others finally formulated a meticulous action plan, intending to stir up a large-scale turmoil and war so as to take advantage of the chaos to find the elemental stones. Just as Su Yang was heading towards Huaijing, the secret action team of the Insulators had already crossed the Spiritfall Forest, smuggled into the Holy Beast Kingdom, and entered the territory of the Demon Kingdom.

In contrast, while all countries took some action, the level of tension varied. Just three days after Su Yang left Jiahe City, a large number of troops were assembled on the border and the borders were completely sealed off. Only those with special permits could enter or leave. The Kingdom of Delin did the same. This led the leaders of other countries to believe that the Tianyun Empire and the Kingdom of Delin were about to go to war. In order to prevent the war from spreading to their own countries, they strengthened their border defenses, causing the level of tension to soar.

Fortunately, the Holy Church intervened in human nations, which eased the tension somewhat. However, non-human nations lacked a third party to mediate. The Holy Beast Kingdom was entirely belligerent, and upon hearing of a potential war, the nation was filled with fervor. Regent King Lati repeatedly persuaded the people before and after court, finally managing to control the war fervor of the warmongers led by Emperor Dakrons.

The Slivia Empire's national strength increased greatly after winning the island war, and its high-ranking officials clamored for "resistance" and "fighting against aggression." Fortunately, Emperor Eric was not a warmonger and therefore ignored such voices, which silenced the warmongers. The Duchy of Paison, knowing that its intelligence had been leaked and that it was not strong, naturally remained silent.

The only possible variable is the common enemy of all nations, the Western Demon Kingdom. The Demon Kingdom is a nation composed entirely of demons. Although its population is small, its strength is formidable. Due to the special nature of demons, high-level elementalists are everywhere, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire population is a soldier. However, after the Holy Beast Kingdom's investigation, it seems that the Demon Kingdom has not reacted at all, and everything is as usual, which has relieved all nations.

However, these are all misunderstandings caused by differences in information and different plans among countries. The occurrence of these situations has actually allowed the true goals of the insulators to be successfully advanced.
