I am an incredibly handsome man, and my fiancée refuses to call off the engagement even at the cost

Soon, everyone realized that they couldn't see through the white-robed man's cultivation level. Almost everyone gathered here was an alchemist, ranging from apprentices to third-rank alchemists. They all had extraordinary spiritual senses, and at this moment, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two third-grade alchemists were extremely surprised. What kind of cultivation technique did this person practice? He could hide his aura so well.

"It's you two, what a coincidence." Gu Yan stopped as he saw Xu Ruolan and Liu Feiyan approaching. His voice, as beautiful as a heavenly melody, made all the women in the hall tremble.

The voice was so beautiful that their gazes were fixed on Gu Yan, unable to look away. Even several men couldn't tear their eyes away.

"Senior Li, are you also here to participate in the alchemist assessment?" Xu Ruolan asked.

Gu Yan nodded.

Xu Ruolan asked, "Fifth rank?"

The eight branches can assess alchemists from the first to the fifth rank; those above the fifth rank must go to the headquarters.

Although Xu Ruolan had never seen Gu Yan refine pills in person, she had heard Liu Feiyan's description and saw Gu Yan here today. He said he was here to take the assessment, so she subconsciously assumed that he was here to take the assessment for a fifth-grade alchemist.

Gu Yan shook her head: "No, first-grade."

"What?" Liu Feiyan exclaimed.

Xu Ruolan couldn't believe it.

"First rank? You're still an apprentice?" Liu Feiyan's eyes widened.

Gu Yan said, "Apprentice, I guess so, I've never taken the exam before."

Liu Feiyan looked at him in shock, then remembered what Gu Yan had said before. So he hadn't been lying.

However, after Gu Yan said that, Xu Ruolan understood. Indeed, some highly skilled alchemists do not covet empty fame. Some do not continue to take the test after passing the first grade, and some even disdain the so-called grade.

Just then, Mo Fanqi and a man in purple robes walked out from around the corner.

The man in purple appeared to be around thirty years old, with a handsome face, extraordinary bearing, and magnificent attire. Two of his attendants were at the Heavenly Spirit Realm. This man was named Tan Shuo, a cultivator at the early stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and was the city lord of Changyang City.

Tan Shuo is not only the city lord of Changyang City, but also the son of the prefect of Baima County. His father, Tan Yue, has already reached the late stage of the Spirit King realm.

In the seventy-two prefectures of the Ruohe Empire, most prefectural governors are at the late stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and there are not many prefectural governors at the Spirit King Realm. Only prefectures with Spirit King strength are located in military strongholds or in prefectures with special geographical locations.

Mo Fanqi was smiling and talking to Tan Shuo while holding a folding fan. When he walked into the hall, he found that the atmosphere was not normal. He looked around and first saw Xu Ruolan and Liu Feiyan, and then Gu Yan came into his line of sight.

Upon seeing Gu Yan, the memory of being severely injured on the Qingluan ship brought back memories of his humiliation and shame, and Mo Fanqi's expression became agitated: "It's you!"

Mo Fanqi immediately said to Tan Shuo beside him, "City Lord, this man is an evil spirit master who once seriously injured me. He acts strangely and dares not show his true face. He might be a spy from an enemy country. Men, arrest him."

Mo Fanqi knew Gu Yan was powerful, but so what if she was only at the Heavenly Spirit Realm? This was one of the eight major branches of the Alchemist Sect, with no fewer than twenty Heavenly Spirit Realm experts stationed here. And right now, the City Lord of Changyang City was standing beside him. He was determined to teach this bastard a lesson today.

Gu Yan turned to look at Mo Fanqi, then glanced at Tan Shuo next to him.

When Tan Shuo met Gu Yan's gaze, his pupils suddenly contracted. What was wrong with this person? He couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from him, but when they met eyes, he felt an extreme sense of danger.

Who is it?

A cultist? I do feel that he has a captivating aura that is somewhat affecting my mind.

Before Tan Shuo could speak, Liu Feiyan angrily shouted, "Mo Fanqi, you're slandering me!"

The guards in the hall were hesitating whether to obey Mo Fanqi's orders after hearing his words, but then Miss Feiyan stepped forward to speak. One of them was Lord Zhou's nephew, and the other was his apprentice. Whom should they listen to?

Xu Ruolan also stepped forward. After bowing to Tan Shuo, she spoke slowly and deliberately: "City Lord, this senior is neither an evil spirit master nor a spy. He once saved me and Junior Sister Feiyan. He is our benefactor."

Tan Shuo looked at Mo Fanqi, then at Xu Ruolan and Liu Feiyan. How interesting! The Medicine King's disciple and nephew each had their own version of events.

Others also found this situation amusing.

"If you're not a spy, why are you hiding like that?" Mo Fanqi chuckled twice. "Dare you take off that mask?"

"Mo Fanqi, you're being unreasonable!" Liu Feiyan shouted.

"Junior sister, you're too young to be fooled. He doesn't even dare to show his true face. Who knows if he's some wanted criminal, or if he's just ugly and afraid to show his face?" Mo Fanqi laughed unrestrainedly.

All eyes turned to Gu Yan, but she remained unmoved under their scrutiny.

"Lord of the city, I swear on my life that Senior Li Bai is neither a spy nor a wanted criminal," Xu Ruolan said.

"Miss Ruolan, I trust your character. But the person next to you must also be here to take the alchemist exam, right? Doesn't your association require photos to be taken during registration? Since that's the case, let's see what they really look like now," Tan Shuo said with a smile.

He was also very curious about what Gu Yan looked like.

Xu Ruolan could say nothing more, because what Tan Shuo said was true. To participate in the alchemist assessment, one needed to register, create a file, and have their image recorded using a recording stone.

Xu Ruolan looked at Gu Yan.

"Want to see my true face? Okay."

Gu Yan reached out and touched his mask, and under everyone's gaze, he took it off.

Instantly, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone, including Mo Fanqi, stared wide-eyed.

God!

There are such good-looking people in this world, are they really human?

Is this a celestial being descending to earth?

Xu Ruolan looked at Gu Yan's face. She could hear her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She had imagined his appearance a thousand times, ten thousand times, and she was convinced in her heart that he must be a handsome man. But she never expected that his true appearance would be a thousand times, ten thousand times more handsome than she had imagined.

Liu Feiyan stared intently at Gu Yan's face. At that moment, he was the only one in her vision, and her mind was completely blank.

Tan Shuo stared blankly at Gu Yan, his eyes unmoving. He had seen many beauties, with no fewer than a hundred beautiful wives and concubines at home, and thought he had seen countless beauties. But now he realized that the beauties he had seen were nothing but ordinary women, and compared to the person in front of him, they were like dirt.

Men and women, young and old, all around were stunned by the beauty.

The entire hall was completely silent, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Gu Yan played with the mask in her hand with her slender fingers, a slight smile playing on her lips, captivating and mesmerizing like moonlight and pearls.

Many people witnessed this scene and were captivated by Gu Yan at first sight.
