At this moment, Xie Qi, after tidying himself up, looked elegant and handsome. He was dressed in a well-cut black gown, the flowing sleeves of which only accentuated his tall and straight figure. His long, glossy black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, with a few strands falling by his ears, adding a touch of elegance to his demeanor.

However, this handsome young man sat on a stone pillar by the roadside with a slightly melancholic look on his face, his deep and bright eyes fixed on the Mu family mansion not far away.

Passersby were attracted by Xie Qi's outstanding appearance. They couldn't help but slow down their pace and whispered to each other.

Some girls even blushed and felt their hearts pounding the moment they caught sight of Xie Qi.

However, facing the curious or admiring gazes around him, Xie Qi seemed oblivious and did not take them to heart at all.

He still sat there quietly, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was racking his brains over some crucial issue.

"Host! We've found out. Someone impersonated you and went to the Mu family. That person is a descendant of the Xie family's branch, named Xie Cheng."

"Where did he get the engagement letter?"

"Host, Xie Cheng and you are from the same sect. He must have seen the original owner's engagement letter before, and then made a fake one. He also took your birth date and time. It was after Master Mu looked at his birth date and time that he confirmed that he was Xie Qi's."

After 948 finished speaking, Xie Qi knew why the Mu family made a mistake. Here, everyone's birth date and eight characters represent their own destiny, which is generally not known to outsiders.

Moreover, Xie Cheng knew the original owner and knew about the original owner's parents, so it would be difficult to be exposed.

There was just one thing that Xie Qi couldn't understand. Xie Cheng knew that he had come to the imperial capital to recognize his relatives, but he still pretended to be himself and went to the Mu family. Wasn't he afraid that he would expose him when he showed up? After all, his conspiracy would be exposed as soon as he showed up.

No one would be so stupid, unless...

"Unless he knows you, the host, he won't be able to reach the imperial capital alive!"

948 immediately followed Xie Qi's thoughts and expressed this guess, which shocked both of them.

"The original owner was killed by the Iron Hoof Sheep. No one else knew about it, but Xie Cheng seemed to know the plot."

Xie Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the closed door of the Mu family. He became extremely suspicious of Xie Cheng. This person might be the one who ruined the plot.

However, Xie Qi was very unwilling at this moment. "Damn it! Can I go in and kill him now?"

"Host, calm down. I just checked and your wife doesn't want to have much contact with him. It's best not to alert him now. After all, we finally found a clue that could ruin the plot."

Xie Qi gritted his teeth, stood up angrily, and followed 948's instructions, not going in to expose the truth immediately.

But Xie Qi still waited at the door of the Mu family. He hoped that Mu Ze would show up, but he waited for three hours and the door of the Mu family was not opened once.

Moreover, it is completely impossible for him to sneak into the Mu family, which is full of experts, as he is only a first-level warrior.

Finally, Xie Qi took a deep breath and decided to leave here first. Even if he wanted to see Mu Ze now, he had no chance at all. He could only wait until he took the assessment.

Xie Qi took another look at the Mu family's gate, then turned and walked towards the nearest Alchemist Guild.

As Xie Qi entered the guild, a young girl in green came over. "How can I help you?"

"I want to take the fifth-level alchemist certification."

As soon as Xie Qi finished speaking, the entire Alchemist Guild Hall fell into silence, and they looked at Xie Qi with inquiring expressions.

Not to mention that Xie Qi only looked like he was 14 years old and was only a first-level warrior. To be certified as a fifth-level alchemist was simply impossible.

Among the people coming to the guild now, the youngest level five alchemist is over 30 years old.

The woman in green was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. She looked at Xie Qi and said, "My friend, please show me your Level 4 Alchemist badge before I can verify it."

"I don't have a badge."

At this moment, everyone who was eavesdropping on their conversation showed contempt on their faces. They were indeed people with wild imaginations.

The woman in green still said politely, "Without a level 4 badge, you cannot be certified as a level 5 pharmacist. This friend can first be certified as a level 1 pharmacist."

"...Alright."

After seeing Xie Qi nod, the green-clothed woman led Xie Qi to the front and said, "Young friend, you can pay the Yuanshi here. The certification costs 3,000 Yuanshi per session."

Xie Qi was stunned when he heard what the other party said. He hadn't changed his Yuanshi yet, and this set of clothes was paid for by his wife.

However, Xie Qi turned around and looked at the people in the hall who were either rich or noble, and suddenly thought of a solution.

He looked around under the puzzled gaze of the woman in blue, and finally locked his target on a man in his 30s.

"Hello, would you like the Flame Spirit Pill? It only costs 50,000 Yuan Shi."

However, when the other party heard what Xie Qi said, he just turned his head to look at him, then immediately turned his head away, completely ignoring Xie Qi.

But the next second, Xie Qi opened a bottle in front of him, and the aroma of medicine came into his nose.

There is ice poison in his body, so he is extremely sensitive to the Flame Spirit Pill that can reduce this poison, and he can clearly feel from the fragrance at this moment that its quality must be a top-grade pill.

He opened his eyes wide and raised his hand to grab the bottle, but Xie Qi dodged it.

Xie Qi stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the Yuanshi first."

"Oh... 50,000... 50,000 koku, right?"

At this moment, everyone who heard their conversation looked at the man with envy. With 50,000 stones, he could easily get a fourth-level pill. It was definitely a huge profit.
