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

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Kingdom of Delin and the Empire of Slivia, the demon army in Luowen County was quickly wiped out. Even though Cai Ran ordered several more offensives to be launched, none of them made any progress, and the human and demon sides were thus locked in a stalemate in Luowen County.

Su Yang, currently in Huaijing, was at a loss for what to do next. After escorting Qin Wei back, he had been ordered to wait for orders at the Shence Army's garrison. That day, Qin Xiyun dragged her heavy steps to find the listless Su Yang, and judging from her expression, she seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Su Yang, my mission has been canceled. You can end your mission early." Qin Xiyun said, having composed herself, with a mix of relief and resentment. This left Su Yang somewhat stunned. He didn't know that Qin Xiyun had been dismissed, or rather, the sudden end of her military career was something he hadn't anticipated.

"Then, can I leave now?"

Qin Xiyun didn't speak, but simply nodded slowly. The crushing defeat at the front was undoubtedly a huge blow to her. She had always been seen as a prodigy by everyone, but she couldn't deny the facts. It was indeed her own deployment, or rather, the deployment and battlefield analysis of the Shence Army under her command, that led to the irreversible situation.

"You can leave..." Qin Xiyun said in a low voice, revealing the fact that she was unwilling to face but had to: "I have been dismissed from my post and am about to go to the front line to join the city defense force, so our agreement is null and void."

"Oh, okay." Su Yang didn't know what to say. He wanted to pack his luggage, but when he glanced at it, he found that he only had a few pieces of luggage, which were already quietly placed on the bed. He picked them up, exchanged a glance with Qin Xiyun, and then the two of them left the room together.

After they stepped out of the gate, the two stopped and Qin Xiyun said, "I have already notified your two friends in advance. They are waiting for you at the military camp where I first took you."

After saying that, she left directly. One went east and the other went west. Su Yang was about to embark on a new adventure, while Qin Xiyun was about to face an unknown fate. Perhaps she would survive the city defense battle with her strength, or perhaps she would die on the high walls. Su Yang had no idea.

Guided by his memory, Su Yang slowly approached Lin Anlan and Tang Wan. About an hour later, the three finally reunited. Upon seeing Su Yang, Lin Anlan rushed forward, looking him over anxiously, and asked, "How are you? Were you injured on the front lines?"

Su Yang shook his head, indicating that he was fine. Seemingly having gotten the answer she wanted, Lin Anlan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her face: "It's good that you're alright. But with your strength, you'll definitely be fine."

Seeing Lin Anlan's expression, Tang Wan couldn't help but tease, "Sister Anlan didn't say that before."

"You brat!" Lin Anlan scolded playfully, trying to stop Tang Wan from continuing. But Tang Wan wouldn't let her have her way. She ran to Su Yang's side, using him as a shield, and continued, "You talk to yourself every day, saying things like, 'I hope Su Yang isn't hurt, or that he's not eating well.' Why won't you admit it now?"

Lin Anlan was clearly getting anxious, her ears turning red. She pretended to hit Tang Wan, and the two of them kept circling around Su Yang, their laughter echoing in his ears. Su Yang had never experienced such a scene before, and he couldn't help but ask himself, "Is this what friendship is?" Then he felt relieved and decided to just consider it friendship. At least it was a sight he had never seen before.

"Where are we going next?" Su Yang's question interrupted the two sisters who were playfully bickering, bringing the topic back to the main point.

Upon hearing Su Yang speak, both of them stopped simultaneously. Clearly, neither of them had considered their future plans, so they fell silent for a moment. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Su Yang said, "Why don't we send Tang Wan back to Qingfeng County first?"

Su Yang's suggestion was well-founded. He had personally witnessed the power of the Demon Kingdom, and the Empire's soldiers were no match for the Demon Kingdom's army. Moreover, news of the war must have reached Tang Wan's parents' ears long ago. Imagine which parents wouldn't be worried about their child's safety at this moment? Therefore, Su Yang wanted to send Tang Wan back first before venturing to other places.

However, Tang Wan firmly opposed Su Yang's suggestion, and hurriedly said, "I've only been out for a short time, I don't want to go back. Besides, with Brother Su here, I'm very safe." At this moment, she was like a bird released from its cage, not yet having enjoyed enough of the freedom of the sky and the colorful world, and had no desire to go back at all.

Seeing Tang Wan's determination, Su Yang didn't bring up taking her home again, and could only ask, "So where do we go next?"

Perhaps worried that Su Yang would bring up taking her home again, Tang Wan quickly chimed in, "These past few days, while I was wandering around, I saw many artisans come to Huaijing. Maybe it's because of the war. Anyway, there are a lot more people in Huaijing lately. Didn't you always want to find an artisan to make a bracelet? Why don't we look for one in Huaijing these next few days? Maybe we can find an artisan who meets our requirements."

After hearing this, Su Yang looked at Lin Anlan, who also seemed clueless, but nodded in agreement. He then said, "Alright then, let's stay in Huaijing for a while and explore the whole city before we leave."

While Su Yang and his two companions remained in Huaijing City searching for artisans, Luowen County enjoyed a rare moment of peace after several days. For the past few days, the battles between the two sides had become routine. Every morning they would set up their formations, fight briefly, and then tacitly withdraw their troops. Initially, the allied forces would strengthen patrols at night to prevent a surprise attack from the Demon Kingdom, but the Demon Kingdom's morale seemed low, and there was no sign of a sneak attack. Therefore, Luowen County seemed to return to its usual tranquility after the fighting.

The adventurers gradually relaxed their tense nerves due to the daily peace. Some skilled adventurers and vendors who made money from adventures set up stalls on the streets, selling simple props and special products they made themselves. Some sold food, some sold elemental props, and some sold women's items such as hairpins. After all, there were quite a few women among the adventurers. Among them, alcohol was the most popular item.

During wartime, alcohol was a rare commodity in the army. Unless they achieved a major victory, soldiers had no chance to come into contact with alcohol. As a result, the fruit wine stalls were crowded with soldiers and adventurers who came to buy it. Among them were some high-level adventurers, such as the Green Maple Squad.

The long battle had exhausted them, and the Qingfeng team could hardly resist the rare moment of leisure. So, apart from He Hai'er, the men squeezed into the line of people buying alcohol, leaving He Hai'er to wander around the various stalls alone, looking here and there. Because her attention was drawn to the items on the stalls, she didn't notice what was in front of her and bumped right into someone.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." He Hai'er quickly bowed her head to apologize, but received no response for a long time, so she couldn't help but look up curiously.

"It's you." Feng Tianyou looked at He Hai'er in front of him, suppressed the urge to curse, and grinned.

"It's you? What a coincidence!"
