Chapter 696 This time I'm on the original owner's side.



After finishing the meal.

The count asked Lin Xue to stay, as if he had something to say to her.

"Xue, Dr. Denner will be coming to examine you tonight. You need to cooperate with him and get proper treatment!"

"The maids in the castle said you were bored staying in the house?"

"Here's the key to the back garden. You can go take a stroll there if you're bored!"

The count had a gentle smile on his lips, but his eyes were indifferent.

The stark contrast in expressions appearing on the same face is truly unsettling.

It was as if one half of his face was deeply in love with the woman in front of him, while the other half of his face was looking at her coldly, without any emotion.

Aren't you coming with me?

Lin Xue took the key and examined it in her hand.

[Garden Key: A key that can open the garden gate!]

The introduction is simple, but it seems to contain some other, different clues.

"I have official business to attend to this afternoon, and I can't spare the time right now!"

"If you want me to keep you company, I probably have plenty of time tonight."

The count's gaze swept over Lin Xue, his eyes icy cold and devoid of any warmth.

Yet the smile on his lips was so radiant, like that of a child who had just received candy.

What's amazing is that Lin Xue couldn't see the other person's facial features clearly, but she could clearly see all of their expressions.

Is this what makes it so eerie and special?

"That's such a shame, I just happen to be busy in the evenings!"

Keep the key safe.

We definitely have to go to the garden; apparently, there's a very important clue there.

However, some people have left comments on the official website saying that there is a huge crisis in the garden.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xue took the garden key and walked out of the house.

This time, the guards on both sides did not stop them.

He watched Lin Xue head towards the back garden before turning his gaze away.

Arriving at the back of the house, Lin Xue looked up and found the approximate location of her room, only to discover that a window there was open.

A woman in red stood inside the window; her skin was so pale that her features were completely obscured.

Seeing her gaze fall upon him, he even gave Lin Xue a strange smile.

Upon suddenly witnessing this scene, even Lin Xue, who prided herself on her strong mentality, felt her pupils shrink.

But when she tried to get a closer look, the other person suddenly disappeared behind the window.

etc.

Where did her room get a window?

But after she carefully reviewed the house's floor plan in her mind, she confirmed that the place with the window was where her room was located.

So her room has windows.

So why couldn't I see her when she was in the room?

However, Lin Xue did not choose to go back to check immediately, but continued towards her destination.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the back garden.

Through the tightly locked gate, one can see the garden in full bloom, yet this beautiful scene is completely empty and deserted.

He took the key out of his pocket and opened the somewhat rusty iron lock.

To prevent someone from locking the garden gate while she is in the garden.

So Lin Xue picked up the huge iron lock, fastened it to the railing next to her, and then pulled out the key and put it in her pocket.

I pushed open the somewhat rusty door and went inside.

The moment she stepped into the garden, all the flowers turned toward Lin Xue.

It seemed as if these blooming flowers had eyes, staring at her intently.

When Lin Xue entered the garden, she could hear faint sounds, like people talking in hushed tones, coming from among the flowers.

But upon closer inspection, there was nothing but flowers and grass; there wasn't a single person in sight.

Lin Xue tried to stay away from the blooming flowers and avoid direct contact with them.

I strolled leisurely into the garden filled with flowers, passing by clusters of blossoms.

All the flowers turned their attention to Lin Xue, turning their entire flowers in the direction she went.

As Lin Xue walked, several vines appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

The vines lay sprawled on the ground, motionless.

It looks just like an ordinary plant.

Lin Xue looked around and realized that there was only one passage to enter.

To get further in, you have to step over these vines.

But are these vines really just ordinary vines?

Obviously not.

She took the bloodstained dagger out of her backpack, walked to the nearest vine, and with a swift stroke, the vine snapped in two.

Bright red blood seeped from the split wound, and the remaining section of vine quickly retracted.

As this vine moved, the other vines seemed to be startled and all retreated back into the flower bed.

Holding a blood-stained dagger, she walked in step by step.

Now.

The previously unrestrained stares have also subsided somewhat; at least when she gets close, the flowers that were staring at her will turn their heads away.

What are you looking for?

Just as Lin Xue was walking forward with complete concentration, a woman's gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

"Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear behind me?"

Lin Xue turned around and found that a woman in a blue dress was standing behind her.

The woman was dressed very elegantly, radiating an aura of jewels.

She looks like a lady of high society, not a gardener or maid.
