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

Jin Huage and Zhou Tianwu then made adjustments to the plan's implementation. After their discussion, they walked out of the council hall one after the other. Seeing that the time was right, Zhou Tianwu continued to ask, "Chief, when Secretary Peng came earlier, you told me to be respectful. Just who is this Secretary Peng?"

“You’ll find out sooner or later, so it’s no harm in telling you sooner.” Jin Huage sighed and continued, “The three wonders of Heaven, Earth and Man: for people like us who don’t have elemental talents, being able to reach the top position in an organization like the Chief is already a blessing from heaven. Little do we know that above the Chief and below the Chief of Staff, there are seven Guardians, and this Peng Shaoshi is one of them.”

"Guardian? What kind of position is that?" Zhou Tianwu asked, puzzled.

"The first priority of a Guardian is naturally to protect the Chief Commander and carry out special missions, and the second is to assist the Chief Commander in managing the Three Wonders," Jin Huage explained.

"Above these three supreme beings, there are even such powerful figures as guardians." Zhou Tianwu exclaimed, "Where do these guardians come from? I've never heard of such a selection process before?"

"Hehehe, this is already the third generation of guardians. When I was first promoted to the Chief of the Three Absolutes, I attended the first meeting organized by the Chief Commander and had the honor of meeting the second generation of guardians. They followed the Chief Commander and were very polite to us, never participating in the management of the Three Absolutes. I really miss those days." Jin Huage continued, seemingly moved by the memory, "Unfortunately, six of the second generation of guardians sacrificed themselves in a mission. The survivor escaped with serious injuries but eventually died. Not long after, the third generation of guardians took office. The Chiefs of the Heavenly Absolute and the Earthly Absolute were promoted to guardians, and the remaining five came from who-knows-where. Unfortunately, my strength was not up to standard at that time, so I was not selected in the end."

“Apart from the two chosen by Tianjue and Dijue, who have the demeanor of the previous guardians, the remaining five guardians are all eccentric. It was from that time that the guardians began to assist the chief administrator in management. Although it is called assistance, they often make decisions on their own. It was also from that time that the chief administrator began to travel around and rarely participated in the management of the organization.” Jin Huage was somewhat indignant, feeling disappointed at his own failure to be selected, as well as nostalgic for the harmonious environment within the organization in the past.

“Tianwu, you are my successor. You must continue to improve yourself, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of mindset. You must never delay the Chief Commander’s grand plan for your own selfish reasons. If it weren’t for the Chief Commander’s mercy, we would all be living a life of hiding in some corner right now,” Jin Huage said earnestly to Zhou Tianwu.

"Chief, I understand."

"If one day you are selected as a Guardian, you must change this trend. Ah, let's not talk about this anymore. Pass on the order to everyone: from now on, when you see the Secretary, treat him as if you were seeing me, but do not reveal Secretary Peng's specific identity."

......

"You mean, in addition to their own elite troops, each country has a squad called the Guardians?" Su Yang stared wide-eyed at Lin Anlan, somewhat incredulous.

Su Yang and his group had safely returned to Luoyin Farm. After settling in, they were asking Lin Anlan about the latest information about this world. After all, Die'er hadn't been active in the mortal world for a long time. Lin Anlan shared everything with Su Yang in detail. When they talked about the elite troops of each country, Lin Anlan brought up the topic of guardians. The sheer amount of information was almost overwhelming for Su Yang. Now, hearing that there were powerful humans like guardians, his mind was in turmoil once again.

"The Guardians are a relatively new group, emerging only in the last twenty years, and they learned their skills from the Insulators," Lin Anlan added.

"The Insulators? Are they involved in this?"

"Yes, about fifteen years ago, I heard that a major conflict broke out between the Insulators and the Western Demon Kingdom. According to the descriptions of the Ascended Warriors who survived the conflict, there were only seven Insulators who invaded, claiming to be Guardians. These seven were incredibly powerful; many Rank 6 Elementals were no match for them, let alone demons who could use dual elements. Although six of the seven were eventually killed, it still shocked other countries in the world. After that, various countries began to select Guardians, which, to put it bluntly, meant choosing the strongest Elementals to form a small team, to be honored by the nation." Lin Anlan truthfully recounted the information he had gathered, took a sip of water, and continued:

"However, since this involves the heads of state, it is not publicized. It is carried out in secret, so most people in the world do not know about it. In order to appease those who fail in the final selection, each country will give them a title. For example, Lu Chuanxiong of the Kingdom of Delin was given the title of Holy Healer, which guarantees him wealth and honor as well as the rights of his descendants."

"So, how strong are these chosen guardians?" Su Yang pressed.

"His strength should already be above level 6. I heard that level 6 elementals are only the first screening criterion. I don't know the specifics. After all, the strength of level 6 elementals is also distinguished by the quality of their bracelets. Not all level 6 elementals can use S-grade bracelets. There is no clear standard for distinguishing elementals above level 6."

"Then there should be a general distinction, such as Rank 6 Upper Grade, Rank 6 Middle Grade, and so on," Su Yang guessed, drawing on the level classifications he had read in cultivation novels.

"That's one way to put it, but there's no standard. If you hear of someone whose title includes the word 'Saint,' they're basically an elementalist who has transcended the sixth rank," Lin Anlan said.

"All right".

After chatting, Su Yang and Lin Anlan became familiar with each other. At least now he wouldn't stutter when talking to her. However, he was troubled about how to arrange things for Lin Anlan. When he built the house, he only thought about living alone and never imagined that someone would live with him. After some thought, he said to Lin Anlan:

"How about you sleep upstairs from now on, and I'll sleep downstairs?"

"I'm fine sleeping anywhere, but how about I sleep downstairs? After all, this is your home." Lin Anlan felt a little embarrassed, as she was an outsider and it wasn't appropriate for her to sleep in the host's room right away.

"It's alright, you can sleep upstairs. I'll make do for one night, and I'll prepare another bed for you tomorrow. I'll build you a separate house later." Su Yang didn't think much of it; after all, he should be considerate of a girl.

Su Yang was surprised when he returned home. The Icewing Hound was actually able to jump out of the yard to hunt. When Su Yang returned home, he found several ferocious beast corpses in front of the door, and one of them had been half eaten. After talking with Xiao Ju, he learned that the Icewing Hound had hunted them.

Su Yang led Lin Anlan upstairs, tidied up a bit, and said, "You can sleep here. The bed is a bit small. We'll eat downstairs and shower downstairs. Let me know when you're going to shower so I can avoid you."

Hearing this, Lin Anlan was somewhat moved. Recalling his time as an adventurer, he realized that he was always seeking improvement, so he spent most of his time fighting ferocious beasts in the wild and living a life of hardship year after year. He rarely slept, and when he took a bath, he would just jump into a stream or lake and swim for a quick while. He had never taken a proper bath before. Moreover, those guys liked to peep on him when he was taking a bath.

Lin Anlan nodded seriously and said, "I understand."

Seeing Lin Anlan nod in understanding, Su Yang ran downstairs again, brought up the Rock-Beast egg, and handed it to Lin Anlan: "Here, take this egg. I don't know how to hatch it either. You're more knowledgeable than me, so you should have a way."

Lin Anlan looked at the smile on Su Yang's face, which didn't seem fake, and asked with some surprise, "Are you really going to give me this egg?"

"Yeah, didn't we agree on that?" Su Yang was a little confused by the question.

Lin Anlan took the egg and placed it on her lap. The egg was rather large and obscured her face. When Su Yang couldn't see her, she closed her eyes tightly, then put the egg back on the bed and said earnestly to Su Yang, "Thank you."

"Uh, oh, then you rest first, I'll go prepare dinner." Su Yang didn't know what Lin Anlan was thanking him for, maybe for giving her the egg. He scratched his head and went downstairs. Lin Anlan sat quietly on the bed, watching Su Yang's figure disappear downstairs. After a while, she went to the window, looked at the sunset outside and the farmland below, and murmured thoughtfully, "Mother, it seems I've met a different kind of human."
