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

Eden noticed the change in Lin Anlan's emotions and decisively stopped Cody's questioning: "Cody, since Miss Lin is unwilling to talk about it anymore, you should not continue to ask. There is always a reason for everything."

"This... alright..." Cody was a little sad. His dream had always been to develop his team into a famous adventurer group like the Blood Squad, fighting violence with violence and prioritizing strength.

Suddenly, Cody realized that since the Blood Squad had disbanded, why was Lin Anlan, who had always pursued only great strength, following these people? The man who had just left was only at the third level, seventh layer, and the woman in front of him was only at the fourth level, third layer. In terms of strength, they were no match for the original members of the Blood Squad. Could it be because of this man?

Thinking this, Cody focused his gaze on Su Yang and subconsciously released his elemental probing to try and determine Su Yang's elemental level. However, before his elemental power could spread to Su Yang, another elemental power dispersed it. Cody turned his head and saw Lin Anlan looking at him expressionlessly. Clearly, it was she who had just stopped him from probing.

"Since you won't let me investigate, I'll try another way." Cody was determined to test Su Yang today, to see what kind of person he was, that he could make the stubborn Lin Anlan willingly follow him.

So Cody spoke to Eden and said, "Mr. Eden, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."

"Oh? Tell me."

“Sir, I would like to find a teacher for my brother Charles, or have him join a powerful adventurer team so that he can protect himself and also see the world.”

Eden was puzzled after hearing this: "Haven't you been the one teaching Charles all along?"

"Yes, sir. It's just that Charles has made great progress recently. His elemental rank has advanced to the fourth rank, sixth level. I feel that I'm finding it increasingly difficult to teach him. I'm afraid that in a while, I won't have anything left to teach him. Therefore, I want to find a powerful elementalist as his teacher as soon as possible."

“I see. I didn’t realize Charles had already reached the fourth level, sixth grade. He needs to find a good teacher. Do you have a suitable candidate? Do you need any help from me?” Eden exclaimed.

"Sir, there is one, but we do not know his strength at the moment."

"Hmm?" Eden was puzzled. "You said there's someone who can be Charles's teacher. You must have found out more about him. How come you don't know anything about his abilities?"

Cody glanced at Lin Anlan and explained, “Sir, Miss Lin was once renowned for her prowess and never gave up when facing formidable enemies. Now that the Blood Squad is no more, Miss Lin is following this gentleman to form a new adventurer team. Surely, the person who can win Miss Lin's respect must be even stronger than her. I would like to request a duel with this gentleman. If I lose, I will ask him to be Charles's teacher; if I win, I will ask Miss Lin to be Charles's teacher.”

Cody's words were clearly coercive, because Su Yang had no reason to compete with him. He was just trying to drag his brother Charles into the mix to confuse Eden and make him lose his sense of judgment. After all, if Cody had made the competition request alone, Eden would certainly not have agreed to his private team leader competing with his guest. But it was different when Charles was involved.

First of all, Cody's words were not entirely false. Eden had always known about Charles's talent. If Charles could really become Lin Anlan or Su Yang's apprentice, then after completing his studies, his private team would be stronger and his reputation would be higher. With this in mind, Eden naturally fell into Cody's trap.

"Uh, Mr. Su, for my sake, why don't you talk to Cody..."

However, before Eden could finish speaking, Lin Anlan interrupted him, saying, "Impossible!"

"Miss Lin, what's going on...?" Not only Eden was puzzled, but even Su Yang was a little confused. He didn't understand why Lin Anlan would stop him from competing with Cody. Although he was also reluctant, he still wanted to understand Lin Anlan's thoughts, after all, she was his companion.

"Don't even mention letting Su Yang compete; I can't agree to be his teacher either," Lin Anlan said firmly, as if she would turn hostile if Eden brought it up again.

Her words left Eden and Cody exchanging bewildered glances. Eden didn't understand why Lin Anlan was reacting so strongly, while Cody knew perfectly well. Tang Wan, standing nearby, was also somewhat confused, intimidated by Lin Anlan's aura, and timidly asked, "Sister Anlan, why won't you let Brother Su Yang compete? I wanted to see..."

But as Lin Anlan cast an angry glare at her, her voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared into the living room, and she fell silent. Seeing Tang Wan chiming in, Eden seized the opportunity to continue his plea: "Uh, although I don't know why Miss Lin is suddenly angry, here it's just a competition, it won't hurt either of us. Besides, I also want to see Brother Su's strength."

"No means no!" Lin Anlan firmly refused again. Although she didn't know what Cody was up to, judging from his subtle attempts to investigate Su Yang, she guessed that he had no good intentions. Just in case, she resolutely disagreed.

If Cody knew Lin Anlan's thoughts, he would kneel down and cry out that he was wronged. The reason he proposed the competition was because his investigation had just been blocked, and Lin Anlan was his idol. He was resentful and a little jealous, so he changed his approach to test Su Yang's strength. He didn't have any other bad intentions.

Seeing that Eden's expression was turning sour, and remembering that Huang Lewei still had three days of treatment to undergo, he couldn't afford to cause a scene. So he stammered and tried to smooth things over, saying, "An Lan, uh, no, it's nothing, it's just a competition, just a competition, it's alright." After saying that, he turned to Eden and said, "Master Eden, I, I agree to have a competition."

Seeing that Su Yang agreed, Eden's expression turned around, and he smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Brother Su. Come, come, let's go to the special training ground." After saying that, he got up and led the way.

Seeing that Su Yang was really going to go, Lin Anlan quickly got up and grabbed his sleeve, not wanting him to go, mainly because she was afraid that he might be in danger. Su Yang gently patted the back of her hand and whispered, "It's okay, they can't hurt me."

Seeing that Su Yang wouldn't listen, Lin Anlan followed. On the way to the training ground, she whispered in Su Yang's ear, "That guy named Cody tried to investigate you before, but I stopped him. I'm afraid he might try something funny, so you have to be careful."

Hearing her say that, Su Yang finally understood why Lin Anlan had been so insistent on preventing him from agreeing. So he smiled and said, "Let him investigate if he wants. He won't be able to find out anything about me. Maybe he's trying to find out about me through a competition because he couldn't find out anything himself. Don't worry."
