Supernatural Insight Eyes

Ye Qiu followed the crowd behind the imposter pretending to be him, not walking in front, using a mask to cover his face. Although it was a bit conspicuous, others at most just glanced.

Numerous gazes swept over, but they didn’t fall on Ye Qiu; instead, they focused on the person impersonating him.

"Is he the new Sixth Elder of the Pill Tower?"

"Weren’t they saying he’s very young? Why does he look like this..."

A few young people present showed a trace of confusion in their expressions, feeling that the person in front of them didn’t match the rumors they had heard.

The guy impersonating Ye Qiu heard someone quietly questioning him, a hint of panic flashed across his face, but he forced a smile, walking confidently into the crowd, stopping in front of a woman. Upon clearly seeing her appearance, he was somewhat surprised but still bowed.

"I’ve met the Turquoise Pool Saintess."

"Pill Master Ye is mistaken. Though I am from the Turquoise Pool Sacred Land, I am not the Saintess. My name is Luo Yao, and Pill Master Ye may simply call me Miss Luo," said Luo Yao blandly.

Ye Qiu slightly frowned. He thought the Turquoise Pool Saintess was here, but it turned out to be a woman named Luo Yao, who seemed a bit unfamiliar.

In that case, I’m afraid no one will be able to see through this guy.

The imposter took a seat with a laid-back demeanor.

Even Ye Qiu couldn’t help but admire the other’s acting skills, wanting to give him a little golden statue, saying, "Oscar is your buddy."

"I invited Pill Master Ye not only to witness Ye Pill Master’s elegance but also to ask for a favor. I don’t know if Pill Master Ye would be agreeable?" Luo Yao said with a smile.

"Naturally, Miss Luo Yao’s request is one I’ll gladly fulfill," the imposter earnestly replied, as if he truly possessed unrivaled skills, daring to undertake anything.

"I’ve heard that Pill Master Ye dueled with Pill Master Meng in alchemy and won. I hope Pill Master Ye could concoct a Stay-Young Pill for me on-site. How about it?"

"Concocting pills for Miss Luo Yao is not an issue, but I’m not in my best state now. An on-site concoction might disappoint you. However, if Miss Luo Yao trusts me, you can give me the materials first, and once the pill is ready, I’ll deliver it to you personally," the imposter said.

Damn it...

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu felt that this deceiver was once again exploiting his reputation to gain advantages. In the end, if this guy were to swindle people everywhere, Ye Qiu would have to clean up his mess constantly.

"Damn it, dare to con me."

For the first time, Ye Qiu felt like he was being conned, and it was even in his own name.

He told himself internally to stay calm and not rush to expose the charlatan. If others could see through him, all the better; if not, it would be up to Ye Qiu himself.

Luo Yao actually handed over the material for the Stay-Young Pill to the imposter, whose eyes flashed with a glimmer, accepting it into his storage ring.

"With Pill Master Ye here, I wish to play a tune for you." At this moment, a white-dressed woman sitting beside Luo Yao spoke softly, with half her face masked by white gauze, revealing only a pair of sparkling, expressive eyes.

The imposter, hearing that this lady wanted to play for him, licked his lips and said with a smile, "Then I shall trouble you, Miss."

Wan’er raised her elegant hands and gently plucked the zither strings, letting melodious and entrancing music drift once more across the water.

Everyone was immersed in the music, while the imposter listened with rapture. The music had a magic power to release emotions, leaving one relaxed after hearing it.

Yet Ye Qiu wasn’t absorbed into the music because he felt that the woman playing the zither was a familiar acquaintance he had encountered before.

Though only able to see above the nose, the brows were exceptionally familiar.

Could it really be her?

The more Ye Qiu looked, the more convinced he became.

Finally, the song ended, and everyone came back to their senses from the music, and applause erupted around.

"Miss Wan’er’s music is truly moving."

"Such wonderful music, only Miss Wan’er could produce."

Many young men around did not hesitate to distribute their praises.

"Pill Master Ye, did you enjoy my music?" Wan’er asked.

"Of course, I did. If I could often hear it, it would be one of life’s great pleasures," said the imposter.

"If Pill Master Ye honors it, Wan’er is willing to play for you alone," Wan’er sweetly replied.

Wow...

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd around became restless. Miss Wan’er was famously known for seldom spending time alone with other men, yet today, she proposed playing a tune for this ’Pill Master Ye’ alone.

All at once, looks of jealousy and envy converged on the imposter.

In actuality, how could they know Wan’er’s true purpose? She had been searching for Ye Qiu, and this person in front might very well be Ye Qiu. Naturally, she wouldn’t miss the opportunity, knowing the treasure Ye Qiu carried could elevate her family.

It seemed like a beautiful occasion, but in reality, it was filled with danger, and the imposter was unaware he had been targeted.

"Is her current name Wan’er?" Ye Qiu frowned deeply. Nonetheless, changing Tang Surou’s name to Wan’er also made sense, given this was the ancestral land, no longer the ancient land, and a change of identity was understandable.

Only, he, Ye Qiu, was the real one; that imposter was the fake.

Ye Qiu worried that the girl with Tang Surou’s face before his eyes might mistakenly believe the imposter was Ye Qiu, thus proposing that solitary meeting. If it turns out the imposter isn’t Ye Qiu, wouldn’t it expose Tang Surou’s identity?

No, Ye Qiu couldn’t let that happen. Given the imposter’s acting ability, continuing the charade might lead to unforeseen consequences.

Ye Qiu decided he needed to personally expose the impostor, even though doing so would put him in the public eye, posing certain risks, but he couldn’t let Tang Surou’s identity be revealed.

"Miss Wan’er, Miss Luo Yao, are you certain this Pill Master Ye is truly the Sixth Elder of the Pill Tower?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, surprising everyone present.

What did these words mean?

Could there possibly be a fake?

The imposter shuddered upon hearing this voice, evident panic in his eyes.

He looked towards the crowd, where a figure slowly walked in, drawing all eyes upon him.

Uh...

Ye Qiu observed this sudden interloper, ready to speak but finding himself preempted.

He knew this person, having met not long ago.

It was none other than Yang Ce.

At this moment, all eyes were on Yang Ce because his words suggested something unknown was afoot—seemingly, this Sixth Elder might be a fake.

Yang Ce advanced into the pavilion, bowing to Wan’er and Luo Yao, then turning to the imposter and saying, "You, masquerading as someone else, think no one can expose you here?"
