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

The three quickly arrived at Fulai Inn, packed their simple luggage, and went to the counter to pay their bill. Old Fu was still at his old counter. Seeing the three arrive, he asked with a smile, "Are you leaving already?"

"Let's go, Lao Fu. Who knows when we'll see each other again?" Lin Anlan replied.

"We'll meet again if fate allows, but I don't know if my old bones will be able to hold on until then, hahaha."

"What are you talking about? Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. Thank you for taking care of our horses all these days. Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, the three went to the backyard, got into their own carriage, and slowly drove out, where they met Qin Xiyun, who was leading a group of soldiers on horseback.

"Hey? You guys are up so early too. You seem pretty enthusiastic." Qin Xiyun teased, but Su Yang ignored her teasing and just nodded silently. Lin Anlan and Tang Wan were not familiar with Qin Xiyun, so they also remained silent.

Seeing that no one responded, Qin Xiyun had no choice but to say, "Alright, let's go then. Father is already waiting."

Following Qin Xiyun's team, they traveled in silence for about an hour before arriving at the heavily guarded courtyard in the south of the city. After getting out of the car, Lin Anlan and Tang Wan were led to the rooms prepared for them, leaving only Su Yang and Qin Xiyun behind.

"Let's go."

The two walked through the long corridor, and after being searched by layers of guards, Su Yang finally arrived at a large hall. The hall was covered with maps, and soldiers in simple clothes were busy everywhere. Qin Xiyun called over one of them and whispered something to him. The soldier then left.

Before long, he reappeared before the two and said to Qin Xiyun, "I have come to escort you on the orders of General Qin. Staff Officer Qin, please come with me."

The two followed the soldier's steps from the main hall to the back hall, arriving at a narrow doorway. Su Yang was thoroughly searched again to ensure he was safe before being allowed to enter. Pushing open the door, they found not a room behind it, but a downward staircase. Without hesitation, Su Yang followed Qin Xiyun's steps steadily down the stairs.

Everything he experienced made Su Yang wonder if this place was some kind of criminal den, not a legitimate institution, but the soldiers proved that this was indeed a military stronghold.

Upon entering the basement, it was found to be spacious and bright. In the large area, there were three tables, with a huge square sand table laid out on each table. On each sand table, there were many small black and red flags in different positions. On one of the tables, there was a smaller sand table with even more flags. Every now and then, after receiving information, soldiers would come to the small sand table, remove some flags, and rearrange others.

Su Yang looked around curiously, not noticing when Qin Xiyun had stopped and almost bumped into her. He saw the two of them arrive at a door. Qin Xiyun took a deep breath, then knocked on the door and called out loudly, "General! Military Advisor Qin Xiyun has arrived."

As the door opened, Su Yang immediately saw a round table in the room, with many documents scattered haphazardly on the tabletop and floor. Four or five people were gathered around the table, studying a piece of paper repeatedly.

Upon seeing Qin Xiyun arrive, Qin Meng waved to her, signaling her to come in. Qin Xiyun turned around and tugged at Su Yang, and the two walked in one after the other.

"Your plan is wrong! How could you send the grain supplies to Tianque City? It's already under the control of the Demon Kingdom!"

"Given this situation, the Demon Kingdom will not be able to hold Tianque City within seven days. Moreover, the soldiers who recapture the city will be exhausted and in dire need of supplies. Of course, supplies should be transported there!"

"I'd like to ask you, the Chief of the General Staff, how you made the arrangements. And you, how exactly did you manage things as a general? It was agreed that the 37th Army would escort the supplies along the way, but they were urgently transferred halfway through. Bandits along the route even dared to rob the grain. Speaking of bandits, I have to ask Lord Liu, has it been too long since you've fought a war? Why didn't the Quartermaster's Office send letters to the prefectural and county governments along the way requesting assistance?"

Su Yang was wondering what they were arguing about when he was startled by a sudden roar.

"Enough!!" Wei Bin slammed his hand on the table, startling the entire room. "The enemy of the Demon City is locked in a stalemate with our army, and we need to make arrangements everywhere. You're all here fighting amongst yourselves, blaming each other. Is this how our military is in the face of war?!"

"If you utter another word, Zhou Zhizhuan! You, the Chief of the General Staff, can go back to the Shence Army for training! Wang Guirong, you, the Army's grain officer, can also go to the front lines to transport grain! Aren't you ashamed of yourselves!"

After Wei Bin's outburst, everyone fell silent. Seeing this, Qin Meng quickly called Qin Xiyun over and comforted Wei Bin, saying, "Sir, calm down, Xiyun is here."

Qin Xiyun stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Sir, Staff Officer Qin Xiyun has arrived as ordered."

Upon seeing Qin Xiyun, Wei Bin suppressed his anger and said, "Chief of Staff Qin, you reported last night that you had encountered a talented individual who could fight against a thousand soldiers and was of great use. Where is he?"

Qin Xiyun stepped aside to let Su Yang behind him pass, and said, "Lord Wei, this is the talented man I was talking about. His elemental level and strength are far above mine."

Upon hearing this, Wei Bin focused his gaze on Su Yang, his eagle-like eyes scanning him back and forth as if trying to see through him. Su Yang felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and his head drooped unconsciously, trying to escape that sharp look.

Seeing that Su Yang was trying to evade responsibility, Wei Bin's anger was reignited, but he still gave Qin Meng some face: "Hmph, shifty eyes, weak and frail, how can he be of any use?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yang was not angry but pleased, thinking to himself, "If this person doesn't like me, then my agreement with Qin Xiyun is invalid, right? Then I can leave this place."

Qin Xiyun became anxious upon hearing this. She knew Su Yang's strength all too well. She herself was already at the sixth rank, level one, yet she couldn't see through Su Yang's true strength, which only proved that Su Yang's strength was far above hers. Although the military minister Wei Bin in front of her was already at the sixth rank, level three, how many elementals in the entire imperial army were above the sixth rank, level three? Every additional sixth-rank combatant would be a great help to the current war.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiyun disregarded the superior-subordinate relationship, stepped forward and quickly said, "Sir, have you forgotten what I reported last night? If you don't believe me, you are welcome to try."

Little did she know that her hasty remark had only fueled Wei Bin's already raging anger. Wei Bin immediately stood up, no longer giving Qin Meng any face, and coldly snorted:

"Alright, Staff Officer Qin, I will test him as you say. If it is as you say, from today onwards, he will be incorporated into the Shence Army, and you will be the new commander of the Shence Army. If it is not as you say, you two will be court-martialed today!"
