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

After returning to the main tent, Zhou Huabao's anger gradually subsided. Recalling the previous battle, he couldn't help but look at his lieutenants and ask, "Among those students, there were some brave ones. I saw that they were not afraid at all. I remember one of them, who seemed to be a demon, was clearly no match for the enemy. After being knocked down, he got up several times to attack the enemy. Do you know who it was?"

Several adjutants pondered the matter, but they had no clue whatsoever. They only knew the general appearance of the captains and centurions among the students. While some captains and centurions were indeed brave in battle, none of them were as fearless as Zhou Huabao had described.

At this moment, an adjutant spoke up: "General, what is the approximate level of the elemental rank of the student you mentioned?"

“Hmm…” Zhou Huabao closed his eyes and thought carefully for a moment before answering, “If I’m not mistaken, it should only be third-tier, but the elemental attack power it unleashes is no different from that of a fourth-tier.”

"This person may be surnamed Huang, but I can't remember his exact name," the adjutant replied. Huang Lewei was the one he led to visit the healing center. At that time, Huang Lewei was completely different from the other students, showing no fear or discomfort whatsoever. Because of this, the adjutant had exchanged a few words with him. He remembered asking his name at the time, but then he heard the bugle call and couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Well, although they have some courage, we will not let them go to the battlefield again. Let them do odd jobs in the army for ten days, and then find a reason to take them back to Luowen County and hand them over to the commander."

And so, with just one sentence, Zhou Huabao decided that this trip for the students was ultimately just a life experience, and that their so-called passion and patriotism should be left for later.

Four days have passed in the blink of an eye. Su Yang and his two companions, who have been staying in Huaijing for a long time, have also explored the entire city. During this time, they have also sought out many craftsmen who come to Huaijing, but they still cannot find any craftsmen who can create A-grade or higher items. This is because the demand for elemental bracelets in war is so large that there is no need for any specific grade.

Even though their vision of creating a new element bracelet failed, the three of them had at least explored all of Huaijing. It was time to leave Huaijing and begin a new adventure for the Qingxu Squad.

The three boarded the carriage again and headed from the west city to the south city, intending to pass through the south city to reach the Lingluo Great Forest in the south of the empire, which was their next destination.

The carriage departed from the West Fourth Gate, passing through several streets. When it arrived at a new street, Tang Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! We've been here before."

“We’ve been to every corner of Huaijing,” Lin Anlan said with a smile.

"No, no, what I mean is, we came here when we first arrived in Huaijing. We were here to complete a mission. Do you remember?" Tang Wan said.

"You mean the mission to deliver the letter?" Upon hearing Tang Wan's question, Su Yang immediately remembered that he hadn't taken on many missions since becoming an adventurer, so he had a deep impression of them. He immediately recalled that when he was in Jiahe City, a city guard asked him to deliver a letter to Huai Jing's wife.

"You mean that Sister Li?" Lin Anlan remembered and chimed in.

"I think so, I'm not too sure, but I came here anyway." Tang Wan only remembered that she had come here, but she had long forgotten who she had given the letter to.

Speaking of Zhang Hongtao, Su Yang wondered if that seemingly honest and simple demon uncle had been dragged to the battlefield, and if so, whether he was still alive. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Hey? Look, isn't this the shop that Sister Li owns?" Tang Wan asked, pointing to a shop they had just passed.

Lin Anlan looked out the window and saw that it really was Li Xiuwen's hairpin shop, but the shop had long been closed for some unknown reason. Su Yang also saw it and said, "Maybe business was bad, or maybe they fled."

After the carriage passed the shop, it continued for several dozen meters when a familiar figure appeared before them—a woman carrying a bag. Tang Wan noticed her first, and as the carriage passed by, Tang Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Li! Where are you going?"

Su Yang and Lin Anlan were drawn by Tang Wan's voice and turned to look. Who else could that woman be but Li Xiuwen? After stopping the carriage, the three of them got out and greeted Li Xiuwen.

Li Xiuwen looked happily at the three people who had helped her and said, "It's you! I didn't expect to see you again. Thank you so much for helping my husband deliver the letter."

"Sister Li, it's all in the past, you don't need to thank us anymore. We should thank you for the hairpin you gave us, it's beautiful and durable," Lin Anlan said with a smile.

"Yes, don't be so polite, sister. We just passed by your shop and it was closed. Where are you going?" Tang Wan asked.

Seeing Tang Wan ask the question, Li Xiuwen couldn't hide her joy and said with a smile, "I received a letter from Hong Tao yesterday, saying that he has already arrived in Luowen County with the army. He also said that the war is stable and there is no danger in Luowen County, so I can rest assured."

"Isn't that great? With the war situation stable, Brother Zhang is definitely out of danger."

“Yes, we haven’t seen each other for a year or two. I wanted to go see him last month, but things didn’t go well. Now that I heard he’s out of danger in Luowen County, I’m planning to go there to see him and bring him some food I made myself.” Li Xiuwen smiled and patted the bag on her back.

"Going to Luowen County? That's not close. Are you just going to walk there like this, carrying such a big bag?" Lin Anlan looked at Li Xiuwen, who was carrying a large bag, with some doubt.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Hiring a carriage would cost quite a bit. I figured it would only take two or three days to walk there." After all, Li Xiuwen was reluctant to spend so much money that she had worked so hard to earn.

“That’s more than that. At this rate, you probably won’t even get halfway there in two or three days.” Lin Anlan advised, “Why don’t you hitch a ride with us in our carriage? We happen to pass through Luowen County on our way to Lingluo Great Forest, so it’s on our way.”

"Ah? This is inappropriate, this is inappropriate." Li Xiuwen quickly waved her hand in refusal.

Looking at the honest Li Xiuwen in front of her, Tang Wan also advised, "Oh, Sister Li, it's alright. This carriage can seat quite a few people. There are only the three of us now, so it's not crowded at all."

As they were trying to persuade them, several barks came from inside the carriage. These were the three Icewing Dogs that Su Yang had been with, seemingly indicating that they were still inside the carriage. As for Little Orange and Little Stone Flower, they had already learned to transform into elemental beings and could become spirits residing in the elemental bracelet. In order not to arouse the greed of bad people, Su Yang and Lin Anlan had not allowed them to show themselves.

Hearing the barking of the Icewing Dogs, Tang Wan added, "Oh, besides the three of us, there are three more Icewing Dogs. They belong to Brother Su, but don't worry, they are all very friendly." After saying that, the two of them pulled Li Xiuwen into the carriage without saying anything more and helped her put away her luggage. Li Xiuwen couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to get into the carriage and travel with Su Yang and the other two.

Along the way, the two women chatted with Li Xiuwen, only to learn that Li Xiuwen, whom they had always called "elder sister," was only in her early thirties, and her daughter was only four years old. She had been living with relatives for a while, and they would bring her daughter back when she returned. She and Zhang Hongtao were considered to have married late in this world, and they had lived in poverty until Zhang Hongtao joined the army, after which things improved slightly.

Listening to Li Xiuwen introduce her situation, both of them were filled with emotion. One was a wealthy young lady who had no worries about food, clothing, or shelter, while the other was a free adventurer who, despite her hardships, had never known poverty. Only then did they understand the difficulties faced by ordinary people.

After chatting for a while, the group became more familiar with each other and drove south towards Luowen County, laughing and talking.
