"May I ask how the inner world is scanned?" Qiao Zhongxing subconsciously asked after glancing at the frowning Qiao Mu.

"Our city lord has an ancient mystic mirror, a look in it will do." The soldier waved his hand with an impatient expression. "You aren't a mystic cultivator, so why are you asking so much? Line up orderly, line up! No trouble-making!"

Qiao Mu sat on the carriage, deep in contemplation without saying a word and was slightly worried.

It could look into the inner world! She did not enter Xijiu City in her previous life, so she did not know about this.

When she thought about her inner world piled high with treasures and gold, the child was a bit mournful.

When an inner world like hers was discovered, would she be treated like a demon and burned to death?

However, they had reached the entrance of Xijiu City already, so it was unrealistic for them to turn back.

"Master, what are you worried about?" the sapling suddenly spoke in her mind when it sensed her rippling emotions.

"You've recovered?" Qiao Mu started before secretly conversing with the sapling.

"I haven't." Qiuqiu sighed deeply. "But I can feel Master's worry."

In truth, Qiao Mu wanted to ask Qiuqiu about her medical skills. She had a suspicion that perhaps she really did learn medicine from someone before…

However, hearing its weak voice, she disregarded it for now since it was not urgent.

What was urgent was how she could handle the inner world scanning matter.

After the matter was briefly explained, Qiuqiu was silent.

Meanwhile, the line kept moving forward, and it was clearly moving faster. She guessed they increased the manpower at the city gate.

This gremlin!!! Why isn't it speaking!

When the city gate loomed nearer, Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at the sky…

Just when she thought the little gremlin had foggily fallen back asleep, its voice faintly rang at last. "Master, what do you think the Golden Talisman Jade Tome is? Did you think it simply taught you talisman methods and your inner world can be inspected easily by some nobody? Even super mystic cultivators 18 levels higher than you can't forcefully probe into your conscious and inner world, let alone some ancient mystic mirror!"

Qiuqiu could not understand why Little Master was worried about this?

"Heh, so it's like that. I really didn't know!" Qiao Mu embarrassedly touched her nose.

"Master, you are actually really strong," Qiuqiu suddenly inputted.

Qiao Mu chuckled ironically. "I'm really strong…"

"I nearly believed it!"

The carriage followed the city guards' directions and parked to the side in advance.

When the soldier went up to inspect it and saw that there was only an old lady with a broken leg inside without any supplies, he did not make things difficult.

Qiao Mu's family was lined up behind a young married couple. The couple looked a bit nervous, and the wife was tensely holding the cloth bag.

There was a table placed on the left of the city gate, and a scholar was sitting there and making notes as registration. Without looking up, he asked, "What's your name? Are you a mystic cultivator or do you have special abilities?"

The couple shook their heads one after the other. "Wang An."

"X-xi Mei."

The scholar looked up. "Will your family surrender any supplies?"

"D-do we have to?" Xi Mei timidly asked.

The scholar nodded. "You don't, but you will have to earn your own keep after entering the city. The City Lord's Estate won't distribute any supplies to you."

"There are free shack areas for living," the scholar added.

The husband and wife nodded furiously. "We won't hand over any supplies. We can live in the free shack area."

The scholar nodded and gave them a meaningful look before handing them a bamboo tablet with their names written on top and "low rank" carved on the flip side.

The soldiers on the two sides then called, "Next."
