The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The divine light descended again, this time on the butcher who had chased after them, but this time it was just a simple bath in divine light.

But that was enough to surprise the boss.

"My...my scars are gone! My scars are gone! Even the hidden injuries are gone!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Lin Du tilted his head slightly, listening to the source of the noise.

"With the Five Precepts and Ten Virtues, may the gods and benevolent spirits protect you, forever eliminating calamities and bringing lasting blessings," the butcher shouted.

The crowd joined in, looking at the boss's youthful face, as if they had vaguely grasped something.

Ni Jinxuan was still standing in front of Lin Du when she asked, "I've never seen you in the city before. Are you a new traveler?"

Lin Du thought for a moment, "Perhaps."

Ni Jinxuan thought for a moment, "Then would you like to stay at my house? My parents are very nice! And their pastries are delicious!"

Lin Du was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "Alright, but before that, you seem to have to compensate the person with a porcelain bowl."

Ni Jinxuan's family was indeed as warm and welcoming as Lin Du had described.

Even the teenagers who made a living by performing on the streets were invited home, served at the table, and given a sumptuous and steaming meal.

Yuan Ye, however, remained calm and composed, showing no awareness of being a guest at the dinner table, and seemed quite at ease.

Just as the Ni couple were asking him about his residence and relatives, he smiled and said, "I have a roof over my head, clothes to cover my body, and a skill to make a living. There's nothing wrong with that."

"The world is vast, but I am alone, free and unrestrained, I don't have to worry about anything, everything is fine."

Ni Jinxuan was puzzled. "What if... what if one day the city suffers a disaster, and you can no longer rely on donations to make a living, and you also lose your place to live?"

"Then let's go somewhere else. Why be bound by where we are, enjoying our freedom?"

Lin Du's hand, which was eating rice, suddenly paused.

Ni Jinxuan kept serving her food, as if afraid she wouldn't see it. The family of three would occasionally serve her food and introduce it to her. Now, Lin Du's bowl was piled high with food.

"Well, then I still hope this city will exist for a long, long time, that everyone will have enough to eat and wear, and that I will protect this city and punish evil and promote good!"

"There are still more good people than bad in the world! If only everyone could become good, everyone would be healthy and harmonious forever, and my parents would never grow old or die, staying with me forever!"

Ni Jinxuan's charming voice reached Lin Du's ears, but he didn't notice the veins on the back of the white-haired immortal's hand, which was holding a bowl, bulging out inch by inch.

"By the way, Lin Du, is your eye condition congenital? I know there's a clinic in the north of the city where the doctor is highly skilled. It's said that she makes top-quality pills every time she starts a batch. Maybe she can cure your illness."

Lin Du lowered his eyes, his voice soft and gentle, yet tinged with an almost imperceptible chill, "Really? That's wonderful. If I have the chance, I'll definitely go and see for myself."

"Then I'll take you tomorrow! We're in the south of the city, quite far from the north!"

Lin Du slowly relaxed his hand. "Okay."

Ok.

Lin Du slowly finished his meal and sincerely praised Jin Xuan's mother's cooking skills.

At night, everything is silent.

Lin Du slept in the guest room opened up by the Ni family. Her fair hand tried to touch the white gauze several times, but then fell away each time.

She tried to activate Fusheng, but there was no response.

This is really difficult.

She was now certain that what was behind her eyes was no ordinary white veil.

Lin Du thought, this is fine too.

Seeing with your eyes is probably not as accurate as seeing with your heart.

The next morning, Ni Jinxuan happily took Lin Du to the clinic.

Just as Ni Jinxuan said, the south and north of the city were far apart, almost spanning the entire city, and they walked for a long time.

As Lin Du walked, he mentally sketched a map of the city. The city seemed to deliberately follow the principle of symmetry, with the markets, neighborhoods, and roads in the south and north of the city laid out almost exactly the same.

Or rather, it's a mirror image.

Just as Ni Jinxuan was speaking, Lin Du heard the commotion and argument in front of the clinic.

"Doctor, please! You're a miracle doctor, everyone says you know the secret to having a son! Please help me! The baby in my belly can turn into a son, right?"

Summer's indifferent voice reached her ears, "I don't have such a thing. Whether you have a boy or a girl is determined by fate."

"Doctor, please prescribe me an abortion pill."

The only response she received was indifferent silence.

Ni Jinxuan whispered in her ear, "It seems like there's some trouble at the entrance of the clinic. There's a pregnant woman, and her mother-in-law is with her. They're trying to pester Dr. Xia for a secret formula to have a baby."

"Hey, why do you have to have a boy? You're pestering the doctor like it's going to kill you, are you trying to stop him from opening his clinic and treating patients?" A cocky young man's voice suddenly cut in.

Seemingly finding the young man meddlesome, the old woman glared at him and said, "What do you know! A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; only a son can inherit the family business!"

"Oh my, inheriting the family business? Inheriting those two tiles or an acre of land? Or is there a throne to inherit?" Yuan Ye's voice became even more sarcastic and arrogant.

Lin Du was taken aback for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips. She heard Ni Jinxuan say in surprise, "It seems to be that busker from yesterday. What did he say his name was again? I don't think he said it yesterday."

"His name is Yuan Ye," Lin Du said in a steady voice.

"Huh? How do you know? Did he tell you alone?" Ni Jinxuan asked, even more puzzled.

The standoff at the gate over there has reached a fever pitch.

"You brat! What's wrong? Do you have a throne to inherit?" the woman sneered.

"Yes, my family has a throne to inherit." Yuan Ye's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

The onlookers burst into laughter, thinking the young man was just joking to retort to the patriarchal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Lin Du lowered his eyes slightly, raised his hand to gently touch the white veil, and smiled as well.

So that's how it is. It turns out that's how it is.

A reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water, a person's image in the water.

Ni Jinxuan found it somewhat strange. "Didn't he say yesterday that he had no parents, was born of nature, and lived a carefree life?"

Lin Du laughed uncontrollably, shaking his head between laughs. "It's nothing, thank you for bringing me here. Aren't you going to the market to buy cotton cloth for Aunt Xie? Go ahead, I can manage on my own."

Ni Jinxuan hesitated for a moment, but seeing her firm attitude, she left, turning back every few steps.

"To be honest, your obstinacy is appalling. You treat your child's life as nothing more than a product of your personal will, without even asking if the child wants to be in your family, where they only throw tantrums and act rudely!"

Yuan Ye stood at the door, intending to go up and find Xia Tianwu, but he turned his head unintentionally and saw Lin Du behind the crowd. His eyes lit up, and he pushed through the crowd, but stopped and hesitated for a moment before reaching Lin Du.

"What are you standing there for? Have you already seen me before?"

Lin Du's voice clearly reached Yuan Ye's ears.

Yuan Ye's eyes lit up, and he strode over. "Junior Uncle???"

"It's me." Lin Du smiled as well. "What, who have you seen before?"

Yuan Ye frowned. "To be honest, I did see the young master, but he's the city lord now! The day I arrived, he came to the north of the city to inspect the people's conditions and even asked me if I had a place to stay and if I was well-fed and clothed. I knew something was wrong then!"

"That's definitely not the real Yue Han! Yue Han isn't that smart! She's not acting like a fool anymore; something's definitely wrong!"

Lin Du nodded, "That makes sense, absolutely right."

Suddenly, another cry of pain came from the entrance of the clinic. First, the pregnant woman clutched her stomach and screamed. The old woman hurriedly tried to help her up, but she also cried out in pain and fell to the ground together.

Yuan Ye and Lin Du looked up at the same time. One of them tilted his ear slightly to listen to the sound, while the other's eyes were like torches.

"My belly! My belly!" the pregnant woman cried out.

Her mother-in-law, on the other hand, seemed to have gone completely mad.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have."

This unexpected turn of events left the onlookers completely dumbfounded.

Xia Tian, ​​who was originally inside the clinic, hurriedly walked out to take the patient's pulse. As soon as she squatted down, her hand was tightly gripped by the pregnant woman, and she met a pair of dark and stubborn eyes.

"The Five Precepts and Ten Virtues will bring divine protection, the extinction of calamities, and lasting blessings," the pregnant woman croaked out.

Everyone took a step back, but Yuan Ye was enveloped in divine light, and a bright yellow flower composed of five-sided stamens appeared before him, full of spiritual charm.

"What is it?" Lin Du's voice was calm.

"It seems to be the Bright Spirit Flower, one of the rare and precious materials in the Moon Sea that you mentioned, Junior Uncle." Yuan Ye said, his voice filled with confusion.

Lin Du suddenly looked at Yuan Ye, "Yuan Ye, have you ever seen another version of yourself?"

Yuan Ye turned around innocently, his eyes widening. "Huh?"

He understood every single word his junior uncle said, so why couldn't he understand it when they were put together?
