"I will keep Aohun by your side. If you ever encounter danger, it will appear and help you. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."

Hua Rou nodded and did not refuse, because she understood that only if Lin Yaoxie really did this and kept Ao Heng by his side could he truly feel at ease.

Otherwise, even if Lin Yaoxie entered the Ghost Doctor's Mansion, he would probably still be worried about her. Hua Rou already felt that sneaking into the Ghost Doctor's Mansion at night was an extremely dangerous thing, so how could she bear to let Lin Yaoxie be distracted by her?

So, in the end, Hua Rou (of Nuo Zhao) smiled, nodded gently, and then said:

"Okay! Don't worry, Brother Lin, with Ao Heng here to protect me, nothing will happen to me! Don't worry about me, just go about your business!"

"I'm here... waiting for you to come back!"

Hua Rou looked at Lin Yaoxie intently one last time, then uttered these words before watching Lin Yaoxie enter the Ghost Doctor's Mansion.

Chapter 282 Full of Mechanisms

Hua Rou finally agreed to Lin Yaoxie's plan, saying she would stay where she was and wait for his safe return. At that moment, Lin Yaoxie suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.

In that instant, Lin Yaoxie seemed to truly feel the sense of home. Looking at Hua Rou, Lin Yaoxie felt as if she were a family member who had been with him for many years, never needing to say much to emphasize her presence.

They always silently protected me, never trying to make their presence known, but they were always the first to appear in front of me whenever danger struck.

Perhaps, for Lin Yaoxie, Hua Rou could not be considered his spirit beast or his lover, but she was certainly family.

Lin Yaoxie probably already regarded Hua Rou as his own sister in his heart, just like Yu Lan regarded him as her own brother.

In other words, from now on, protecting her will also become my responsibility. It's an involuntary action and behavior.

This is simply a form of mutual protection among family members. Lin Yaoxie had already walked out, but upon hearing this, he turned back, looked at Hua Rou, and gave her a gentle smile.

Then Lin Yaoxie replied to Hua Rou, saying, "Okay! I will definitely come back!"

This statement is no longer just a promise; it's now more like a responsibility and a commitment. Lin Yaoxie felt that as an older brother and as a member of Hua Rou's family, it was a promise he should fulfill.

Upon hearing this, Hua Rou also revealed a long-lost smile. Standing there, she quietly watched Lin Yaoxie's back disappear into the boundless darkness.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yaoxie evaded several patrols from the Ghost Doctor's Mansion and leaped inside. Inside, the candlelight was sparse, indicating that most people were already resting.

The Ghost Doctor's Mansion only sent the Ghost Doctor and two of the old Ghost Doctor's apprentices to the banquet today. Therefore, the Ghost Doctor's Mansion is not yet fully aware of what happened at the banquet that evening.

This also allowed the Ghost Doctor to appear more normal, quiet, and composed. Almost at the appointed time, apart from a few ghost messengers who were required to brew medicine, tend the fire, and patrol, there were no others...

People are here.

Lin Yaoxie secretly rejoiced, thankfully the news hadn't spread too quickly today. He had also done his best to suppress the things that had been said tonight.

So it seems the results were quite good. However, there's another reason: most people within the Ghost Doctor's Mansion aren't interested in such power struggles.

Within the Ghost Doctor's Mansion, most people are relatively peaceful and tranquil. Perhaps due to the teachings of the previous Ghost Doctor, the people within the Ghost Doctor's Mansion do not like to have too much contact with the mundane affairs of the outside world.

However, this also provided excellent conditions for Lin Yaoxie to enter and investigate. Lin Yaoxie looked around; the Ghost Doctor's Mansion was unusually quiet at this moment.

So, just as Lin Yaoxie was about to approach the courtyard, he discovered that the small stone under his feet was actually a trap.

Lin Yaoxie then began to carefully observe his surroundings and discovered that there were traps everywhere.

Chapter 283 Guarding

After exchanging words with Hua Rou, Lin Yaoxie briefly said goodbye and, under Hua Rou's watchful gaze, sneaked into the Ghost Doctor's Mansion. The walls of the Ghost Doctor's Mansion were extremely high.

Lin Yaoxie could see that throughout the entire Realm of Reincarnation, there seemed to be a natural awe and respect for the official position of Ghost Doctor. It was as if this was an official position that could control them.

However, what is most admirable is that although these ghost doctors are highly respected and supported, they never participate in power struggles. They only focus on studying medicine and improving their medical skills without ever stopping.

Before entering the Ghost Doctor's Mansion, Lin Yaoxie had already conducted a meticulous observation. Both the scale of the mansion's gate and the height of its inner walls were sufficient proof that the Ghost Doctor's Mansion was under very strict protection.

Judging from the condition of the newly renovated walls within the Ghost Doctor's Mansion, it seems that the mansion was not always so heavily guarded.

This situation likely only occurred not too long ago. Perhaps at some point, something very important happened here, forcing them to increase [their efforts].

Strong defense.

Lin Yaoxie thought about all this, but he understood that this wouldn't really lead to any conclusion.

Conversely, if you keep getting caught up in these incomprehensible things, you'll waste a lot of time and delay your plans.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie understood that he had to dismantle all the mechanisms in front of him before he could truly uncover what problems were hidden within the Ghost Doctor's Mansion.

However, Lin Yaoxie hadn't expected that they would have set up so many traps in the courtyard. All he had to do was cross the courtyard and walk through the long corridor.

The end of that corridor appeared quite dark. However, based on the information Lin Yaoxie had gathered from his repeated investigations among the ghost messengers, it was highly likely that that was the Ghost Doctor's room.

Therefore, these complex and cumbersome mechanisms must correspond to a very important location. Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such lengths.

Thinking about it this way, many things become much clearer. The signs of reinforcement on the courtyard wall aren't from many years ago. And the complex mechanisms inside the courtyard weren't created by chance.

It will come when you arrive.

0 to 00 requests for flowers...

These simultaneous protective measures appear to have been implemented only after the arrival of this new, mysterious doctor. So why provide such protection for someone of unknown origin?

0 ....

What secrets are they hiding that make them so wary of anyone breaking in? Everything in the Ghost Doctor's Mansion seems a bit abnormal.

However, there was no concrete evidence. A special tension permeated the entire Ghost Doctor's mansion, especially around the Ghost Doctor's room. It was heavily guarded and protected by numerous traps.

Looking at it this way, what exactly is hidden in the Ghost Doctor's room? All of this made Lin Yaoxie feel strange. In any case, he felt that he had to find out what secrets he and Ghost King Yulan had.

Although Yulan is now Lin Yaoxie's older sister, Lin Yaoxie is very clear-headed. Even if Yulan genuinely cares for him and treats him like a younger brother, he must...

Understand the situation clearly.

Chapter 284 Searching for the Weak Point

Upon seeing the intricate mechanisms filling the courtyard, Lin Yaoxie instantly calmed himself down. He then carefully reviewed every detail that had happened before he entered the Ghost Doctor's Mansion.

It was during this second period of rethinking that Lin Yaoxie realized just how extraordinary this Ghost Doctor's Mansion was. Its mechanisms were even more complex and intricate than those of the Ghost King's Mansion.

However, Lin "973" the Demon also discovered through his own observations that these mechanisms hadn't been around for very long. Some had even been installed just a few days prior.

This situation deepened Lin Yaoxie's suspicions about the Ghost Doctor. After all, how could a simple Ghost Doctor be so worried about someone entering his room?

Clearly, this change stems from his feeling that he has encountered someone or a danger he cannot fully control. Based on the events of the past few days, the most likely person the Ghost Doctor needs to be wary of is undoubtedly Lin Yaoxie.

So why is he so wary of Lin Yaoxie? The Ghost Doctor must have some secret that Lin Yaoxie absolutely cannot know, which is why he chose to do this.

As far as Lin Yaoxie was concerned, as long as this matter had nothing to do with Zi Yuehan, he would never go out of his way to interfere in other people's secrets and private affairs.

Therefore, Lin Yaoxie was basically certain that there was something between the Ghost Doctor and Zi Yuehan that he didn't know. And this information was the key to finding Zi Yuehan.

Having thought this through, Lin Yaoxie had reorganized his thoughts. Now, his most important task was to solve the mechanism in front of him.

It is obvious that in this courtyard, whether it is the towering artificial mountain, the casually placed flowers and plants, or even the smallest stone on the pebble path under one's feet, it may be an important thing that triggers the entire mechanism.

These mechanisms may seem unrelated at first glance, but Lin Yaoxie understood that they were all interconnected; moving any one of them would prevent anyone from easily escaping from this complex web of mechanisms.

"This mechanism seems to have been inspired by some kind of formation, so all we need to do now is find the formation, pinpoint its weakness, and then shut it down. Once that's done, we can completely break the entire mechanism!"

After observing the surrounding environment for a while, Lin Yaoxie slowly spoke.

No matter what kind of formation or mechanism it is, the vital point is its most hidden location, and it will never be easily found by anyone.

Moreover, this formation is extremely large in scale and relies on a great many things. Therefore, finding the single weak point among all these things is extremely difficult.

However, what surprised Lin Yaoxie the most was that he did not expect the Ghost Doctor to have such high mechanical skills. It was clear that the Ghost Doctor was not an ordinary person before.

The Ghost Doctor's background remains to be investigated, but the most important thing now is to break through the bottleneck. Lin Yaoxie gently closed his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

Chapter 285 Cleverly Solving the Mechanism

Lin Yaoxie quickly figured out the mechanism's workings; it seemed to be a modified array. Once the vital point was located, the mechanism could be completely destroyed.

However, this also shows that this ghost doctor is no ordinary person. He is not only proficient in the principles of formations, but can also transform them into mechanical symbols.

Such strength further proves that the Ghost Doctor was no ordinary person before arriving in the Realm of Reincarnation. What exactly did he go through to get to this place?

What exactly is the relationship between the Ghost Doctor and Zi Yuehan? These were all questions that Lin Yaoxie found extremely perplexing. However, Lin Yaoxie knew that he had to go into the Ghost Doctor's room first to fully understand everything.

Lin Yaoxie carefully observed his surroundings for a long time. Finally, he closed his eyes and listened intently, trying to pinpoint the location of the trap's weak point.

"I found it!" Finally, Lin Yaoxie opened his eyes and said with surprise.

Then, Lin Yaoxie smiled slightly, and then kicked the stone he was standing on, sending it flying onto the artificial hill.

And it just so happened to kick out a depression in the middle of the artificial hill, fitting perfectly into it. After a brief "creaking" sound, everything returned to silence.

Such a complex mechanism was completely resolved in the blink of an eye, with just a flick of Lin Yaoxie's foot.

Furthermore, without alerting a single person, he destroyed all the traps within the Ghost Doctor's Mansion in one fell swoop. Lin Yaoxie smiled, then quietly walked forward.

In this way, Lin Yaoxie could come and go from the entire courtyard as if it were empty. Lin Yaoxie walked onto the corridor, which was exceptionally deep and long.

However, what was most unexpected was that the entire corridor was different from the murderous atmosphere in the courtyard just now. Instead of deep, long green vines, the ceiling of the corridor was covered with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants.

This made Lin Yaoxie feel very strange. It was obvious that the things in the courtyard were placed randomly and were not carefully decorated.

But why is the place where the Ghost Doctor lives a completely different world? This is truly perplexing.

If this was done by one person, it only proves that this person is somewhat schizophrenic. However, if it was the Ghost Doctor deliberately hiding something, then it is understandable.

But what exactly is he trying to hide? After all, these two completely different scenes of 973 are too different no matter how you look at them. The arrangement of things in the courtyard seems to have a deliberate lack of attention to detail.

However, once you fully enter the corridor, you'll find that it's been meticulously maintained. Every plant and tree seems to have been carefully tended, something only a thoughtful person could do.

However, comparing them like this, it's as if two different people are managing these affairs. But Lin Yaoxie had already thoroughly understood this before he came.

This courtyard has always been lived and managed by the Ghost Doctor alone.

Chapter 286 A Subtle Fragrance

By comparing the landscape of the courtyard and the condition of the corridor, Lin Yaoxie realized that it was as if two different people had the same aesthetic and style. This realization plunged Lin Yaoxie into deep doubt.

After all, once Lin Yaoxie had finalized his plan, he quickly found several ghost guards patrolling near the Ghost Doctor's Mansion, as well as several apprentices inside the mansion, to inquire about the situation.

They are the people most likely to come into contact with the Ghost Doctor, and they have always lived in the Ghost Doctor's mansion, so their understanding of the Ghost Doctor must be very comprehensive.

However, according to them, only the Ghost Doctor has ever lived in this courtyard, and even the apprentices who come to organize the medicinal herbs are never allowed to enter.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, his apprentice would quickly leave after tidying up the medicine. Too many people were not allowed to linger here.

The Ghost Doctor's requirements were so strict, and those who had the most contact with him were his own apprentices. They all emphasized that the people who came to this courtyard the most were Ghost King Yulan and the old Ghost Doctor.

Therefore, the people who know the most about the Ghost Doctor's background and past are Ghost King Yulan and the old Ghost Doctor. The Ghost Doctor doesn't like to have too much contact with other people.

However, Lin Yaoxie could not obtain the information he wanted through these two people. The old ghost doctor had long since gone on a journey, and the ghost king Yulan was also injured.

Moreover, Lin Yaoxie believed that even if Ghost King Yulan hadn't been injured and had accepted him as her younger brother, she still wouldn't be willing to reveal the Ghost Doctor's secret.
