When Su Yang finally saw the guest rooms, he experienced kindness from strangers in this strange world for the first time. Eden had prepared private rooms for everyone, including Su Yang. The rooms were spacious and luxuriously decorated. More importantly, without Su Yang's knowledge, Eden had already arranged maids and welcoming fruit in each room.

Eden stood at the door of the first guest room and said to everyone, "My place isn't exactly luxurious, but it does have the facilities to prepare a private room for each guest. You've all come from afar and must be quite tired. There's hot water in the rooms, so why don't you rest for a while first? I'll invite you to have tea in the living room later." After saying that, Eden waved to the butlers and turned to leave.

Upon arriving at the room, the maids were still there. Instead, they greeted Su Yang warmly, saying, "Sir, I'll prepare hot water for you." Su Yang was somewhat puzzled. Eden had just said that there was hot water in the room, so why prepare more? Was there a bathtub here?

Driven by this doubt, Su Yang followed the maid into a room in the guest room. He saw that it was decorated as a bathroom, with a toilet and an extra-large wooden tub, which was basically the same as a bathtub. Su Yang watched the maid's actions and realized that what the maid meant by preparing hot water was actually adding water to the bathtub.

Having not had a proper hot bath recently, Su Yang was indeed quite exhausted, both physically and mentally. After the maid filled the bathtub with hot water, Su Yang couldn't wait to jump into the tub and relax. However, when he turned around to take off his clothes, he found that the maid was still standing in the bathroom and hadn't left. His hand, which was about to move, immediately stopped.

Su Yang felt a little embarrassed, wondering if the maid still wanted to help him bathe. But with his social anxiety, he didn't know how to ask her to leave. After a long pause, he finally managed to stammer, "Uh, how about I do it myself?"

"What did you say, sir?" The maid clearly hadn't heard him clearly and asked, making Su Yang even more embarrassed to speak. Just then, there was a knock on Su Yang's door. He felt like he had found a savior and wanted to open the door, but the maid's professionalism was clearly exceptional. She went over and opened the door before Su Yang could act.

Lin Anlan was standing outside the door. When she saw that it was a maid who opened the door instead of Su Yang, Lin Anlan turned her head and saw Su Yang standing in front of the bathroom door. So Lin Anlan walked into the room without changing her expression. When she got to Su Yang, she looked behind him and then teased, "What's going on? Is Lord Su going to have a maid serve him while he takes a bath?"

"No way!" Su Yang immediately became anxious. Although he was not good with words, his observation skills were outstanding. He had already seen negative emotions such as mockery, disdain and contempt in Lin Anlan's eyes.

"No? Then why is the bathtub full of hot water even though the door is closed?" Lin Anlan pressed.

Su Yang glanced over and saw that the maid was still standing there, so he had no choice but to approach Lin Anlan and whisper, "I was just about to ask her to leave, but I didn't know how to say it."

Seeing Su Yang's embarrassed appearance, Lin Anlan turned to look at the maid who was looking puzzled. She believed Su Yang's explanation and turned to the maid, saying, "Go and attend to other matters. We have something to discuss."

"Yes." The maid obeyed obediently, immediately leaving the room and closing the door.

"Phew, thank you." Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief after the maid left, then thanked Lin Anlan and asked, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Anlan shook her head: "It's nothing, I just found an excuse to get that maid away."

Su Yang said "Oh" and prepared to continue showering. Just as he turned to enter the bathroom, he turned back to Lin Anlan and said, "Then why are you still here?"

Lin Anlan's eyebrows arched, revealing an unfriendly smile, and then he said in a very lewd manner, "Then of course I'm here to serve you, Lord Su, while you take a bath."

Her appearance sent a chill down Su Yang's spine. He quickly pushed Lin Anlan out of the room, closed the door, and went to take a shower. Lin Anlan, outside the door, wasn't angry. She had only meant to tease Su Yang. But recalling her expression and appearance just now, she blushed instantly: "How could I have said such a thing!"

After Su Yang finished washing up, he rested on the soft bed for nearly half an hour before he heard a knock on the door. A male voice came from outside: "Sir, Master Eden invites you downstairs for tea." At the same time, the other three also received the same message. When Su Yang got out of bed, dressed, and opened the door, he happened to meet the other three. The four of them followed the four butlers downstairs, through the living room, and arrived at the tea room.

The room was very bright, with a huge window in the wall, somewhat like a modern floor-to-ceiling window, but supported by four wooden slats. Outside the window was the garden. Eden was sitting at a round table. Upon seeing the four, she immediately stood up and greeted them warmly. After the four were seated, Eden clapped her hands, and soon several maids came in and placed teacups and some delicate refreshments in front of them.

"Did you all have a good rest?" Eden asked with a smile as he offered tea to everyone. Tang Wan was the first to answer, "Yes, we rested well, Mr. Eden. I didn't expect your guest rooms to be so luxurious. The beds are so soft."

"Hehehe, as long as you're satisfied."

The group then chatted for a while, mainly about Eden's introduction to his castle, such as the materials and craftsmanship of the furniture, the special features of the tea and snacks, how the castle was built, how the horses were raised, and so on.

Just then, a butler came in and whispered something in Eden's ear. Eden then said, "Oh, let them come over here too, so we can introduce them."

Before long, the butler returned, followed by six or seven people. Some others stood outside the door. Judging from their attire, these people seemed to be adventurers as well. However, Su Yang recognized one of them: Edgar.

Eden happily stood up and introduced them to everyone: "They and the people outside the door are the adventurers I have met in the past few years. Now they all live in my castle and can be considered my private team. Let me introduce them."

As he spoke, Eden pulled Edgar over and introduced him, "Let me formally introduce you. This is my bodyguard, Edgar, who also serves as a bodyguard in my first squad." Edgar and the others nodded. Then, Eden pulled over the person behind Edgar and said, "This is Cody, the captain of the first squad, a sharpshooter."

Eden then introduced all the adventurers one by one. Because there were too many people, Su Yang couldn't remember everyone's names for a while. He only remembered Edgar, Cody, and a healer named Maggie. However, based on this number, Eden should have at least two private teams.

"Master Eden, with so many adventurers, you should be able to form two teams, right?" Tang Wan asked after they left.

Eden nodded and said proudly, "There are two teams, and they are both quite strong. If we were to rate them according to the Adventurers' Guild's standards, both teams would be eligible for the Jade grade."

Judging from his expression, he was quite proud. After all, a Jade-level team must have at least two members with an elemental power level of 5 and two members with an elemental power level of 4. In terms of overall strength, they would rank fourth among adventurers. However, according to Lin Anlan, private teams cannot register with the Adventurers' Guild. This is not only because the guild has requirements for the team's class composition, but also because a four-person team only serves a single employer, and Eden is their employer.

Su Yang paid special attention to the healer, and after organizing his thoughts slightly, he stammered, "Sir Eden, there was a healer just now, who was..."

Because Su Yang spoke somewhat haltingly, Eden didn't quite catch what he said. Seeing this, Lin Anlan spoke on Su Yang's behalf: "Lord Eden, I just heard you introduce a healer, I think her name is Meiqi. I wonder what her elemental rank is?"

“Oh, Maggie is the only healer here. Her rank isn’t low either, she’s already reached the fourth rank, sixth grade. She can even heal some internal injuries.” Eden spoke of Maggie with pride and arrogance.

“Lord Eden, as we discussed before, our friend is injured. Would you mind having Meiqi treat him?” Lin Anlan pointed to Huang Lewei and said. Having spent so much time together, she naturally understood why Su Yang would ask the healer named Meiqi alone, so she made the request on Su Yang’s behalf.
