Zhao Xu's complexion suddenly changed, and he shouted at Chen Chu.

"Wrong name? No way!"

Chen Chu felt inexplicably baffled and hurried to defend himself, "Elder Zhao, the name can't be wrong, I've seen this person's identity badge, his name is truly Xiao Mu, indeed."

"Identity badge? Hmph, can't an identity badge be faked? This elder knows this person, and he is called Chen Mu," Zhao Xu said with some annoyance, casting a cold glance at Chen Chu.

An identity badge can be faked? Really?

Every person present showed an expression of disbelief—can identity badges really be faked? Impossible, right? How come no one has ever heard of it?

An identity badge contains everyone's Image God Picture, equivalent to a divine spirit imprint, how can that be faked? Try making one yourself.

This Elder Zhao recognizes me? He must have mistaken me for someone else.

Xiao Mu was completely confused, guessing that Zhao Xu must have mistaken him for someone else.

He certainly had no intention of impersonating anyone, yet he was being punished for a mistake he didn't make. What kind of reasoning was that?

Moreover, he could very well afford the fine of two thousand energy fruits.

He stepped forward and bowed his hands to Zhao Xu, "Elder Zhao, you might have recognized the wrong person, my name is indeed Xiao Mu, not Chen Mu."

"This elder would make a mistaken identity? Young man, do not try to take someone else's identity," Zhao Xu persisted stubbornly, refusing to believe it.

"Elder Zhao, here is my identity badge, if you do not believe me, you can take a look, my name is indeed Xiao Mu," Xiao Mu took the opportunity to produce his identity badge.

"Elder, his name is indeed Xiao Mu, not Chen Mu."

Chen Chu leaned in for a look and immediately cried out with surprise.

He really hadn't made a mistake, it was Elder Zhao who had made the error.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Elder Zhao's icy gaze sweep over him, revealing a strong killing intent that made him shiver to the core.

MD, did I get something wrong?

Chen Chu was alarmed, instantly feeling as if he was in an ice cellar, cold through and through.

"Do you think that by presenting a fake identity badge, this elder wouldn't recognize you?"

Zhao Xu snorted coldly, not even glancing at the identity badge in Xiao Mu's hand.

Chen Chu seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly said, "Elder Zhao, I didn't see this person's identity badge clearly just now, please let me take another look."

Zhao Xu nodded, seemingly surprised but satisfied with Chen Chu's change of attitude.

Chen Chu walked over to Xiao Mu, stretched out his hand to take the identity badge, looked down, not necessarily seeing it clearly, and suddenly called out, "Elder Zhao, I indeed made a mistake just now, the name on this person's identity badge is truly Chen Mu, not Xiao Mu."

Are you kidding me?

Xiao Mu was stunned, giving Chen Chu a baffled look. Am I illiterate or are you? Can't you even recognize such a big character as 'Xiao'? There's a clear difference between 'Xiao' and 'Chen', right?

"It's good that you can correct your mistake!"

Zhao Xu nodded at Chen Chu, his expression much kinder, "Well, Xiao Chen, write down the name, take the others out, leave this Chen Mu behind, this elder has some questions for him about why he dares to impersonate another person."

"Yes, Elder."

Chen Chu respectfully agreed, casting an odd look at Xiao Mu, politely returning the identity badge to Xiao Mu, and calling the others, "Let's go, let's go, everyone out, remember to report for your punishment later!"

Before leaving, he did not forget to look deeply at Xiao Mu one more time.

I must remember how this person looks!

"Elder Zhao, my name is indeed Xiao Mu, not Chen Mu. If Elder Zhao wants to punish, punish me, please do not punish the wrong person."

Xiao Mu earnestly argued once again.

"Haha! Xiao Xiao, Xiao Mu, I know who you are."

With no one else in the hall, Elder Zhao Xu suddenly laughed, clearly aware of Xiao Mu's identity, and did not address him as Chen Mu any longer.

"So Elder Zhao knew my identity all along."

While Xiao Mu gave a bitter smile, he also felt doubtful. If Zhao Xu had known his identity all along, why did he deliberately mistake him for Chen Mu?

"Xiao Xiao, being a guardian elder is not easy. Since this elder caught you red-handed, I cannot refrain from punishing you, otherwise, people would gossip," Zhao Xu offered an excuse, explaining to Xiao Mu in a very subtle way.

"Thank you for your leniency, Elder Zhao!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu instantly understood Zhao Xu's intention and why he deliberately recognized him as Chen Mu.

Although he wasn't particularly concerned about the punishment of two thousand energy fruits, he couldn't disregard Zhao Xu's goodwill and thus expressed his gratitude.

"Xiao Xiao, you are too courteous,"

Zhao Xu chuckled, "By the way, Xiao Xiao, have you heard? In seven days, we will be heading to the Canglin Region's Human Emperor Daoist Temple."

"It is a daunting task, and our opponents may include Divine Spirits. Have you been assigned to this task as well?"
