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

"What are you mumbling about..." In reality, Su Yang wasn't really listening. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want to get entangled with them. But when he remembered what Yuwen Rongxuan had said, the words "Yuwen Marquis's Mansion," the compound surname Yuwen, and the title of Marquis, he still felt awkward. He asked Tang Wan, who was standing next to him, "Tang Wan, how are the titles of nobility divided in the Tianyun Empire?"

"Hmm... I don't know much about this. We usually don't use titles of nobility, we just use official ranks." Tang Wan thought for a moment and then answered truthfully, as she really didn't know much about it.

Lin Anlan interjected to explain: "In the Empire, only those who have made great contributions can be granted titles. Ordinary officials are not granted titles, unlike the Duchy of Paisen, where anyone can be granted a title. In the Empire, I have only heard of the two categories of Duke and Marquis. They are usually abbreviated as such as Duke or Marquis. Only on very formal occasions are they called such as such-and-such Duke or such-and-such Marquis."

"Oh, is that so? What's the difference between the two titles?"

"Dukes are generally awarded to those with outstanding military achievements. For example, Yin Tianbao's father was a general who made great contributions in the war. He was later promoted to marshal and then served as the Minister of the Army in the court. Only after he retired was he granted the title of duke. Marquises are mostly military and civil officials whose military achievements are not so outstanding."

After Lin Anlan's explanation, Su Yang fully understood that it was somewhat similar to ancient China. Following this interlude, the three continued their search for a craftsman capable of forging S-grade bracelets. Only then did Su Yang slap his forehead, realizing that since the Yuwen Rongxuan family was a marquisate, why hadn't he thought to ask them for help earlier?

But the person had already left, and it was unrealistic for Su Yang to take the initiative to ask for help. He could only bury himself in the search, but after an entire afternoon, he still couldn't find a craftsman who met his criteria. All three of them were exhausted, and after discussing it, they decided to return to the inn first and make plans for tomorrow.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. For four days in a row, the three of them searched the entire adventurer's area but still couldn't find a suitable craftsman. Su Yang had no choice but to give up for the time being. If they continued searching like this, they didn't know when it would end. There were quite a few craftsmen who could make high-quality A-grade bracelets, but whether they could take on the task of making S-grade bracelets was unknown.

Lin Anlan took on two more errand-running tasks. That evening, the three of them gathered in Su Yang's room. Lin Anlan finally couldn't take it anymore: "Ugh, we don't have enough people. I'm exhausted from just taking on errand-running tasks. Su Yang, I don't want to go tomorrow. Let's rest, okay?"

Su Yang was also quite helpless. The initial description of the task they accepted was not a errand-running task, but the Adventurers' Guild played a word game. What was clearly an errand-running task was described as "assisting in killing a certain ferocious beast." In reality, it was just delivering supplies to the adventurers who had accepted the task of killing the ferocious beast. So he agreed to Lin Anlan's request: "Okay, take a good rest tomorrow and don't accept these tasks anymore."

Tang Wan then calculated the number of days and said, "Hey, the academy's martial arts competition starts in just one more day. How about we take a day off tomorrow and go watch the competition together the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay! Watching a martial arts competition is better than taking on those errand-running tasks, I agree!" Lin Anlan was the first to agree. Anyway, as long as she didn't have to run errands, she was willing to do anything.

"Okay, then it's settled for today. Where are we going the day after tomorrow? On foot or by carriage?"

"Let's take a carriage!" the two girls exclaimed in unison; they no longer wanted to walk.

The second day was uneventful. Apart from going out for meals, the three of them barely left the inn. Lin Anlan spent the whole day lying in bed, sometimes playing with Xiao Shihua and Xiao Ju, sometimes lost in thought. Tang Wan mostly meditated, remembering her promise to Su Yang and striving not to hold him back.

Su Yang picked up some small stones from somewhere and practiced deconstructing and reassembling them one by one. He continuously broke down each small stone and reassembled it into various shapes, like sculpting clay figures. Sometimes he would test the hardness of the stones after reassembling them, and sometimes he would reassemble all the small stones into a complete large stone, and then break it apart again. He practiced like this for a whole day until he finally felt tired. Only then did he break down all the stones into barely noticeable dust, which drifted out of the window with the wind.

After a day of practice, Su Yang was exhausted and collapsed onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep. He was awakened by a pain in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xiao Shihua was beside him, tapping the back of his hand. Lin Anlan was asleep in a chair, and Xiao Ju was also asleep next to him.

"Ouch." Su Yang sighed, picked up the little stone flower and held it in his arms, scolding, "It hurts, don't hit me like that again."

Little Stone Flower didn't react, just kept burrowing into Su Yang's arms, seemingly searching for something. At this moment, Lin Anlan was also awakened by the commotion. She rubbed her eyes and said, "You're awake already?"

"Hmm, did I sleep for a long time?"

"No, I've only been here a little while. I was going to call you to eat, but you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you, and then I fell asleep too. Hey, what are you doing, Little Stone Flower?"

"I don't know either. It woke me up. I don't know why, but it kept hitting the back of my hand. When I picked it up, it kept burrowing into my arms."

Lin Anlan got up and went to Su Yang. She picked up Xiao Shihua and asked through her senses, "What's wrong with you?" But Xiao Shihua didn't respond and still instinctively wanted to get closer to Su Yang. Lin Anlan had no choice but to take Xiao Shihua back to her room.

Just after Lin Anlan left, a voice suddenly came to Su Yang's mind: "Progress 50%. Your current mastery of cloud, air, light, and earth elements is 100%, while fire, water, and wood elements have not yet been mastered."

The sudden sound startled Su Yang, who sat up in bed and looked around: "Who! Who's talking!?"

There was no response. Su Yang, still puzzled, continued, "Who are you?! How do you know I possess four elements?"

There was still no response. Su Yang was starting to panic. This kind of silent uncertainty was the most terrifying. He was restless and wanted to leave the room to find Lin Anlan and the others, but he was too nervous and couldn't open the door no matter what he did. Su Yang was sweating profusely, but the more anxious he became, the less he could open it. Su Yang could only stop for a moment and try to calm himself down.

But being alone in the room, the fear kept spreading, and Su Yang couldn't calm down. So he went to the door again and kept trying to open it. Finally, he thought that he could kick the door open.

Just as he was thinking this, the voice appeared again: "You can kick it open."
