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

"Do I look like a spy from an enemy country?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.

"Absolutely stunning! Absolutely stunning! No wonder Brother Li was wearing a mask, I finally understand why. Brother Li, please don't be offended, I was just really curious about your appearance, I apologize for that." Tan Shuo suddenly changed his attitude and started calling him Brother Li to get closer to him.

Liu Feiyan blushed as she looked at Gu Yan and whispered, "So, so this is what you look like..."

Xu Ruolan looked at Gu Yan, her face flushed with shyness, and she didn't dare to look directly at Gu Yan's face.

Many young women present stared intently at Gu Yan, completely captivated by her.

Mo Fanqi was dumbfounded, at a loss for words. Gu Yan walked towards him, and Mo Fanqi's legs trembled when their eyes met. Gu Yan said coldly, "Young Master Mo, do I look like a spy to you?"

Mo Fanqi said in a trembling voice, "You, you mustn't do anything rash! I, I'm the nephew of the Pill King!"

"Nephew, even if you are the nephew of the Pill King, you can't just slander an innocent person. Hurry up and apologize to Brother Li." A hand pressed on Mo Fanqi's shoulder, the large hand squeezing his shoulder with force, making his bones ache terribly.

Mo Fanqi cried out in pain and turned his head to see Tan Shuo looking at him coldly, as if he would kill him if he dared to refuse.

Not only Tan Shuo, but the entire hall was filled with cold eyes staring at him, as if they would tear him to pieces if he dared to say no.

This Li Bai is a monster! What kind of evil and bewitching technique does he practice? Are these people going to be controlled by his sorcery?

Mo Fanqi trembled violently, cold sweat pouring down his face. Finally, he lowered his head and apologized to Gu Yan in humiliation, "I...I was so...so offensive just now, please...please forgive me, Senior Li!"

Gu Yan gave him a cold glance. Tan Shuo released Mo Fanqi and burst into laughter, trying to smooth things over. He laughed and said, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Tan Shuo approached Gu Yan, smiling familiarly, and asked, "Brother Li, what grade of alchemist are you taking the exam for?"

"First rank," Gu Yan said, putting the mask he was holding into his storage ring. He then asked Xu Ruolan beside him, "Which way is the registration?"

"Here, here." Tan Shuo didn't even wait for Xu Ruolan to finish speaking, and disregarded his status as the city lord, he led the way. As the city lord of Changyang City, although he wasn't an alchemist, he had been to the Alchemist Association countless times and knew it very well.

People in front of her automatically made way, and Gu Yan walked towards the registration desk in the lobby, attracting a lot of attention. The person in charge of registration was a young apprentice, a young man in his twenties. Gu Yan smiled and said to him, "Please register me for the first-grade alchemist exam."

The young man's heart pounded at his smile, and he frantically tried to grab paper and pen while replying "okay, okay." In his nervousness, he spilled paper all over the floor and knocked things over.

Then he was pushed aside by the people next to him; he wasn't the only one registering; there were other apprentices as well.

Hands held paper and pens, offering them to Gu Yan, their faces displaying either eagerness or shyness.

Gu Yan was unsure who to accept, so Xu Ruolan snatched the pen and registration form from someone and said to the others, "I'll take over."

She was a second-grade alchemist and a disciple of the Pill King. No one dared to have a problem with this senior sister, so they all had to give way. Xu Ruolan smiled and handed paper and pen to Gu Yan. Gu Yan sat down and filled out the form under Xu Ruolan's guidance, then took a photo and registered.

After registration was completed, Xu Ruolan smiled and said, "Let me take you to the waiting hall. Candidates for each level of the exam are waiting in different halls."

Gu Yan nodded, and Tan Shuo, who was standing next to her, suddenly said, "Miss Ruolan, aren't you supposed to be taking the third-grade alchemist exam? Have you finished registering? I'll take Brother Li there."

Xu Ruolan smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I can take Senior Li Bai to the waiting hall first. City Lord, please don't bother with such trivial matters."

"Not busy at all, I, the city lord, have plenty of free time," Tan Shuo said after glancing at the scene.

"Lord, aren't we going back? The Dowager Madam is calling you home for tea," a servant behind Tan Shuo suddenly said.

Tan Shuo's forehead veins bulged, and upon hearing this, he glared fiercely at his attendant, who shivered. The two elders at the Heavenly Spirit Realm beside Tan Shuo exchanged a glance, thinking: Could the City Lord really have taken a liking to this...this Li Bai?

Even if he's incredibly handsome, he's still a man, isn't he?

Their eyes widened.

If he were just an ordinary handsome young man, that would be one thing, but his strength is completely unfathomable. If the city lord acts recklessly, he's likely to get a bad thrashing.

"I've got it all done. I'm going to the hall for the first-grade alchemist assessment too. Come with me!" Liu Feiyan said to Gu Yan. While Xu Ruolan and Tan Shuo were talking, she had already finished the registration process for herself.

She had helped with these tasks many times before and was very familiar with them. If it weren't for the assessment today, she would have been one of the apprentices helping with the registration.

"Then let's go." Gu Yan smiled and followed Liu Feiyan.

Xu Ruolan and Tan Shuo were both stunned.

Tan Shuo was about to go find Gu Yan when a maid-like woman came in and said to him, "Lord City Lord, the Grand Madam has been waiting for you for a long time. She's asking when you'll be returning?"

Tan Shuo thought of his aching mother, and reluctantly left, turning back several times. As for Xu Ruolan, she still had to participate in the third-grade alchemist assessment, so she couldn't go after Gu Yan.

Once Gu Yan left, the hall returned to normal. It immediately became bustling with activity as the alchemy apprentices rushed to the registration desk, quickly completed their registration, and then immediately went to catch up with Gu Yan.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the waiting area for examinees, a large number of apprentices had gathered, ranging in age from teenagers to over a hundred years old. They sat in different places, some chatting, some resting with their eyes closed, and some cramming for the exam.

After Liu Feiyan led Gu Yan into the hall, the entire waiting room fell silent, and everyone looked toward one spot.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The handsome young man, dressed in white as snow, looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. He possessed a natural, refined, and elegant appearance, with a celestial charm.

The entire hall remained silent for a long time before everyone slowly came to their senses.

"Senior Li, shall we sit here?" Liu Feiyan asked Gu Yan with a blush on her face. Next to her was an empty table and a few chairs.

Gu Yan nodded.

So the two of them sat down there.

The moment they sat down, the place became the center of attention.

So handsome!

He's so handsome!

My God! How can someone be so good-looking!

The young girls were all incredibly excited. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yan's abilities were completely unfathomable and her true strength unknown, many of them would have rushed over to strike up a conversation.

"They're all looking at you," Liu Feiyan whispered to Gu Yan. When she met his emerald eyes, her cheeks couldn't help but burn again.

That face is just unfair!!
