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

After entering the illusion, Ni Jinxuan's journey was remarkably smooth. She followed the rules for surviving in the illusion taught by her junior uncle and Feng Chao step by step—observe first, do not act rashly, and do not provoke.

The parents here are exactly the same as those in my memory, except that the city is different, and their spiritual power and divine sense are imprisoned and cannot be used.

If it weren't for the demons and divine pronouncements, she would have thought this was a completely magical world devoid of spiritual power.

The people in the city seemed to recognize and know each other. If someone was missing or there was any commotion, the news would spread quickly. Everything was too real, mixed with strange gods and demons, like a wonderful world where ordinary people and cultivators mingled.

Ni Jinxuan recalled her junior uncle's prior investigation of this secret realm: the more people there are, the more real and richer the illusions become, and the harder it is to break free from them.

This world is a mix of Yuan Ye, born in the mortal realm, the young master of the demon race, a scion of a powerful family from a major cultivation city, a senior brother who is dedicated to eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, and her happy little family with both parents.

Her hometown is about the same size as this city. The people are simple and honest, and everyone knows each other. When she goes grocery shopping, she receives many little trinkets along the way.

Ni Jinxuan had a vague idea of ​​the general composition and origin of this world, but she still couldn't figure out its rules.

From the city's residents, she learned that the captain of the city lord's guard was the eldest brother, Yan Qing was in charge, the city lord was likely Yue Han, Doctor Xia was probably the second sister, but the position of the junior uncle remained a mystery.

Until the demons ran rampant, she worried that the guards would not be able to hold them off, so she went out of the city to help without permission. There she encountered the divine messenger of the Divine Pavilion, as well as the white-haired youth in the flying carriage—her junior uncle, the high priest of the Divine Pavilion.

One move sealed the entire city, another move annihilated all the demons outside the city.

When the messengers of the Divine Pavilion descended upon Mist City, the city's inhabitants experienced the power of the gods for the first time.

At this moment, everyone's fear and doubt about divine punishment in recent days were replaced by awe and reverence.

The city lord came out late at night to greet the envoy from the Divine Pavilion. After meeting Lin Du's eyes, which looked at people and birds equally, Huang Xuan decided to hold back.

Birds and beasts are extremely sensitive to danger, and he could sense that this high priest was very dangerous.

His spiritual power is still restrained, so he can't defeat Lin Du in front of him.

Moreover, the attitude of the Divine Pavilion is even more unpredictable than this.

They came under orders, and although they were guests, they didn't even respect the city lord.

"The evil spirits of the outside world have been eliminated. Our divine temple will enlighten the residents. Those who commit crimes will be punished by the gods, and those who do good deeds will be rewarded. In the long run, Fog City will be free from disasters and be blessed forever."

After the messenger finished speaking, he stepped back behind the high priest.

Yue Han respectfully led them into the guest courtyard, which was second only to the main courtyard.

The divine messenger seemed to show displeasure, but he quickly suppressed it.

The construction of the temple was put on the agenda.

The city suddenly erupted in a frenzy overnight because the old woman who did good deeds had become young again, and her appearance had returned to that of her youth.

Who wouldn't want to live forever and stay young forever?

People in the city went crazy doing good deeds, smiling at everyone they met, creating a harmonious atmosphere. However, Yuan Ye, who was ostensibly a street performer but was actually a beggar, was forcibly rescued, and every household was vying to take him in. The blind Lin Du was even helped across twenty streets in a single day.

Lin Du felt that even if she was strong and healthy, she couldn't stand wandering around the city several times a day, so she decided to go back to the dilapidated temple to avoid trouble—her spiritual power was not enough to fly, and none of the people had been able to run into the fake Lin Du last night.

Even because of the great distance, they could only deduce from the white hair and blue clothes that it was probably the fake Lin Du, a person with the strongest power in this illusion.

Mo Lin was actually the first to react. If the divine punishment was Lin Du's power, then it was normal that the true Lin Du's spiritual power could offset the divine punishment within him.

Lin Du frantically pondered in his mind, and the people who had been separated by the frantic crowd rushing to do good deeds finally reunited.

Then... their house was robbed.

"Where did my huge dilapidated temple go?" Yuan Ye finally managed to escape, his forehead covered in sweat, staring incredulously at the ruined temple before him.

They had only gone out to investigate the whereabouts of the divine messenger when their base was raided.

The six stood there silently for a moment, then heard those around them explain, "They're building a temple!"

Several people squatted to one side, looking up at the sky, looking very sad.

"What do we do now?"

"Can't we just destroy it?"

"The key problem is that our existence cannot encounter mirror images; even if we see them from afar, we can't actually meet them."

These are the rules of this illusion.

Lin Du sneered, listening to the commotion of the city dwellers scrambling to help build the temple and provide the workers with free food and drink, and revealed a smile that could only be described as sarcastic.

"If this continues, something terrible will happen in the city sooner or later."

Lin Du raised his hand and pressed his temples. "Even if you learn it all, you can't learn it completely. But if you can grasp the essence of my teachings, you won't be wandering around this city like a divine decree."

"What is that?" Yuan Ye asked nervously.

"A great red ghost," Lin Du said decisively.

"Huh?" Yuan Ye didn't understand, or even misunderstood, "A vengeful ghost in red?"

Lin Du stood up, feeling the almost frenzied enthusiasm of the surrounding residents. "Never mind, it's okay."

She stretched, "We are equal to the power of the mirror."

"All the black stones are in position, but we're still two moves away."

Among this new generation of disciples, Ni Jinxuan was taught almost everything by Lin Du, except for cultivation.

Lin Duxin didn't believe in Ni Jinxuan, he believed in himself.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Ni Jinxuan looked at the white-haired young man in front of her.

The high priestess wore a dark blue robe today. She seemed to rarely go out, staying quietly indoors. Even when facing the attendants, she mostly listened and rarely spoke.

Only Ni Jinxuan was left inside.

"Do you know how to play chess?" The high priest often faced the chessboard, lost in thought.

Ni Jinxuan shook her head.

She had very little talent in chess, so neither Feng Chao nor Feng Yi forced her to play.

In fact, apart from Lin Du, there are very few people in the sect who can play Go.

"That's alright, come on," the high priest cleared the chessboard, "I'll teach you how to play Connect Four."

Ni Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, then obediently sat down opposite her and listened to her explain the rules of the game.

Black goes first, then white. Each player has eight pieces, plus two red pieces, which are shared wild pieces that can be used by both sides to connect pieces.

In the first round, the high priest released a sea, but Ni Jinxuan still lost.

The second time... the third time... I lost every time.

Ni Jinxuan got tired of playing and whispered, "I can't beat you."

The little girl looked a bit discouraged, like a deflated bun. The high priest stared at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Getting anxious about losing?"

"Practice more, keep practicing until you master it, keep repeating, and one day you'll win."

The high priest continued cleaning up the mess, then suddenly asked, "You always go second, why don't you go first this time?"

Ni Jinxuan looked up and met the High Priest's amused gaze. She suddenly remembered how her junior uncle used to play the simplest game of Gomoku with her.

The junior master said that if there were no forbidden moves in Gomoku, and one mastered the formation, the first move would always win, which is why the rules for forbidden moves exist.

Even without physical restraint, she still couldn't defeat her junior uncle.

Later, her junior uncle gave up teaching her formations and instead challenged her to a chess game, which Ni Jinxuan won.

The two men's elbows swept the chessboard into disarray.

"Since this isn't your forte, then break the chessboard and play where you're good."

Ni Jinxuan suddenly stretched out her hand. "That's what you're good at. How about something I'm good at, like arm wrestling?"

A strange, subtle glint flashed in the high priest's eyes. He put down the chess pieces, his interest waning.

"No, I have absolutely no interest in activities that don't require intelligence."

Ni Jinxuan stood up. "I also have no interest in activities that only require intelligence. We're not on the same path."

The high priest reset the game, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and said dismissively, "In that case, go out and have some fun."

Ni Jinxuan ran out, all the way out of the city lord's mansion.

Junior Uncle isn't like that; Junior Uncle would never look down on her for being clumsy.

Her junior uncle would only tell her that sometimes focusing on one thing can lead to the pinnacle of achievement.

Such a wicked person couldn't possibly be Junior Uncle.

But she couldn't alert them; the High Priest was very powerful, and she needed to find her true junior uncle as soon as possible!

Huang Xuan saw the little girl on the road, hesitated for a moment, but his body acted before his mind, and he ran after her.

Suddenly, a huge fire broke out in one part of the city.

The crowd that had been trying to help in front of the temple suddenly rushed towards the flooded area!

Do good deeds! Do good deeds!
