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

The people who caused trouble at the clinic had an accident, and those who had spoken up for Doctor Xia, besides Yuan Ye, were somewhat frightened.

"Dr. Xia, you should go back first, lest they go crazy and hurt you."

Xia Tianwu showed some gratitude on his face, thanked and greeted everyone, being considerate and showing no sign of indifference.

Outside the clinic, Yuan Ye slowly processed what his junior uncle had said. "So, it's not that some of us are real and some are fake, but rather that everyone has both real and fake aspects?"

Lin Du smiled and said that Yuan Ye should be the quickest to understand among those children.

"Then... was the woman in the clinic just now the real senior sister or a fake one?"

"Fake."

Lin Du smiled and looked at Yuan Ye, "Didn't you ever consider whether I was real or fake?"

Yuan Ye was taken aback for a moment, his gaze falling on the person in front of him.

White hair, blue robe, white veil covering her eyes, the smile on her lips was still so playful, exactly the same as when she teased people.

Lin Du's tone was chilling, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a fake, and I'll kill the real one?"

Yuan Ye shivered violently, but his mind was still managing to function.

As my junior uncle once said, the more troublesome and terrible the situation, the more we need to think about the current interests involved and find the most suitable way out.

An enemy can be a friend, and a friend can be an enemy.

"But Junior Uncle, if you are fake, why did you kill the real one? If you are fake, and you want to be with the truth, you wouldn't kill the real one just because you're fake. Instead, you should pretend to be real, shouldn't you?"

Lin Du finally laughed upon hearing this. She rarely reached out and patted Yuan Ye's shoulder, saying, "It wasn't for nothing that I taught you. Now I can be sure that you're really here."

Yuan Ye was taken aback for a moment. "Huh?"

"Want to know what you are like?" Lin Du withdrew her hand, because just a moment ago, she felt that the seal on the spiritual power within her body had loosened slightly.

Yuan Ye was naturally curious. He listened to Lin Du's account with great interest, and then posed a profound question, "Junior Uncle, how did you tell that it wasn't the me who had lost my memory, but a fake me?"

Lin Du was walking down the street with his men when he heard this and fell silent for a moment. "Because Ni Jinxuan asked him what to do if the city suffered a disaster."

He said he didn't care about anything, he would just move to another city and live a carefree life.

Yuan Ye took a step back. He realized that this was where the problem lay!

"I didn't say that, Junior Uncle, didn't you beat me up?"

This is considered a violation of sectarian rules in their Supreme Sect!

Regardless of what path one cultivates, the so-called "governing by non-action" does not mean doing nothing, but rather refraining from reckless actions.

The so-called carefree state of mind is a state of mind free from worldly concerns, where one can remain calm and at ease no matter what situation one encounters.

It is not about ignoring the common people, nor about living in isolation; if one realm fails, one will try another.

Lin Du grinned, revealing sharp, white canine teeth that gleamed coldly. "What do you think? But there must be a connection between the real and fake sides. Little Yuan Ye, this isn't what you really think, is it?"

Yuan Ye took another step back. Was he really going to get a beating today? "I didn't! Uncle-Master! I really didn't! I'm innocent! I certainly wouldn't think that!"

"It must be this secret realm that's stupid! It's ignorant, but I'm sensible! Junior Uncle!"

Yuan Ye let out a wail, but in the end, he couldn't escape a flick on the forehead.

"Stop howling, let's go into the clinic."

"Didn't you notice? All the mirror images in this secret realm are the very things you most want to become. Although your understanding is flawed, you've achieved the absolute best, but it has also verified some things."

Lin Du paused. She didn't know what would happen when the real and the fake met, where her fake was, or how to break through her current limitations, but she had to deal with them one by one.

The two stepped into the clinic at the same time and heard the woman's cool voice ask, "Are you here for a consultation?"

Lin Du nodded, "Yes, I'm here to see you about an eye condition."

Yuan Ye stood beside Lin Du, meeting Xia Tianwu's eyes. For some reason, he felt that the person in front of him seemed different from his second senior sister.

Even though Xia Tian's voice, tone, appearance, and habits were exactly the same, after Lin Du pointed it out to him, he always felt that Xia Tian was acting strangely.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but something just doesn't feel right.

Could it be that he's become too wary, seeing everyone as a ghost?

Lin Du was led to sit down and obediently extended his hand. Xia Tianwu took his pulse and frowned slightly.

"Please remove the gauze from your eyes."

Lin Du chuckled upon hearing this. "Doctor, do you also practice the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation? I've heard that some doctors with exceptional medical skills can tell the true state of my body just by taking my pulse."

Summer's clear, captivating eyes remained unmoved. "Medical skills naturally emphasize observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. Just by looking at your pulse, you also need to match it with your symptoms."

"I need to see whether you are blind or not, whether you were born blind or became blind, and whether you are completely blind."

"So that's how it is." Lin Du was about to raise his hand to remove the veil over his eyes when a panicked shout came from behind him.

"Dr. Xia, Dr. Xia, please come and save this person!"

Yuan Ye turned around and, amidst a chorus of wails, spotted the person being carried over. The person's hands were twisted unnaturally, and he was in great pain.

"It's...it's divine punishment," the young boy in the clinic cried out. "Exactly the same as what happened on the street yesterday."

Xia Tianwu resolutely stood up, went over to check, and said, "There's still hope. Bring him inside and get the pills I refined yesterday."

Lin Du and Yuan Ye were forced to give way and were pushed outside the clinic by the noisy crowd.

"Junior Uncle, is that... fake?" Yuan Ye asked in a low voice.

"Hmm." Lin Du tilted his head, pondering the biggest bug in this secret realm.

The fake ones inside don't actually know each other. Only when two real ones are put together can they tell that the one without memories is the fake one.

As Lin Du pondered this, he suddenly realized something. "Yuan Ye, you've been here for a few days. When did you discover that the people you know in this world are fake?"

"Huh? Two days? Today is the third day. On the first day, I woke up in a dilapidated temple with only a broken bowl and a pair of chopsticks beside me. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I stayed in the temple for a whole day, but nothing happened. I thought to myself, this isn't how it's portrayed in the stories, so I went out."

"It turned out that they all seemed to know me. Although they didn't know my name, they knew I was going to sing for money. They even asked me why I didn't show up yesterday. Just as I was about to sit down and sing Lotus Ballad, the city lord came down to offer his condolences. As soon as he opened his mouth, I felt it was fake. This morning, when I was out and about, I saw Second Senior Sister in the clinic."

"But I didn't know if it was true or not, so I decided to check it out. When I turned around, I saw you, Junior Uncle."

"Have you been to the south of the city?" Lin Du asked again.

"South of the city? What's the difference between the south and north of the city?"

Just as Yuan Ye was about to ask more questions, he noticed that Lin Du turned and walked away.

Lin Du has always had a good memory. He followed the route he had memorized in his mind that morning and walked back to the place where Yuan Ye used to perform yesterday, but he did not see the man.

She stood there, frowning. What was the problem?

"Junior Uncle? What's wrong?" Yuan Ye rarely saw Lin Du with such a serious expression.

"I'm wondering... what if everyone thought they were the only one in this secret realm carrying the memories, and didn't notice anything unusual about the others, believing that person was the real one?

Lin Du and Yuan Ye were able to meet because they felt something was wrong after they came into contact with the people in the mirror image. They didn't believe those people were real. What if others believed it?

Moreover, the layout of the city from north to south is clearly symmetrical. There is a singer named Yuan Ye in both the south and north of the city, so why is there no Xia Tianwu's clinic in the south of the city?

Unbeknownst to the two, right after they left the clinic, a tall young man dressed in a black and gold outfit appeared in front of the clinic with injuries.

"Tenku?"

Mo Lin let out a long breath, a relieved smile flashing in his eyes. The sword he was carrying clattered to the ground, its surface seemingly corroded by some unknown demonic creature.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Mo from the City Lord's Mansion? Are there more monsters outside the city again? And why are you so badly injured today?"

"The city has been unsettled these past few days. I heard from the attendants of the temple that it's because the people in the city have committed many evils, so the demons outside the city have grown stronger. The gods have sent down divine punishment and divine favor in order to eliminate the demons."

On a street in the north of the city, a disheveled young man taps on a bowl and sings the same old Lianhualuo song day after day.

"Three thousand worlds come together to shatter, I walk the path of humanity, Buddha is me, demon is me..."
