A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

"You suspect that the power within Beitang Yan is starting to affect his body."

Hearing Lu Yu ask this question, Qin Suiyou nodded.

“That’s right. Lu Xi should have felt it too. The power in his body seemed to be very similar to the spiritual power in your bodies, but it was sealed. At most, it could only prevent similar external forces from invading A Yan’s body.”

Lu Xi didn't mention that the power was similar to spiritual power. Lu Yu glanced at him and saw that he was tilting his head back and pretending not to be guilty. He knew that this guy must have missed an important piece of information.

Since so much time has passed, there's no need to pursue it further. After listening to what Qin Suiyou said, Lu Yu got up and walked up to Beitang Yan, asking expressionlessly, "Who exactly are you?"

Beitang Yan looked up at the guy in front of him whose expression was comparable to Shuo Han's, and curled his lip, saying, "I am who I am. What else could I be?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu frowned and was about to say something when Qin Suiyou grabbed his wrist. However, Beitang Yan immediately pulled Qin Suiyou's hand back.

Qin Suiyou didn't say anything, but said to Lu Yu, "You won't get anything out of him now. If it's close to my guess, the effect of that power on him should have started little by little. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion after using it for only a short while."

Lu Yu didn't express any objection, but after pondering for a moment, he said, "He has a power similar to spiritual energy within him, so he is definitely not an ordinary person. His current identity is very likely intentional. Until we know what his original purpose was, we should stay away from him."

It was one thing for Beitang Yan to ask him who he was earlier—he assumed this guy, who didn't know who his original self was, was a bit slow-witted. But then he said something else: "Stay away from him?"

If this "we" didn't include his wife, it would be fine. He didn't care much about how far away others were from him, as long as they weren't too close. However, if his wife was included, Beitang Yan would "rebel".

"Why do you..."

Beitang Yan, who was about to stand up to question Lu Yu, suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder and was pressed back into his chair by Qin Suiyou.

After signaling Beitang Yan to calm down, Qin Suiyou said, "I know your concerns, but right now I want you two to take another look at him and see what kind of spiritual energy he has. This way we can roughly know whether he can help us or hinder us. The seal is probably gradually dissipating now and has not been completely absorbed by him. This is the best time for you to investigate."

After a moment of silence, Lu Yu gestured to Lu Xi, who was sitting to the side and had already finished a whole plate of snacks.

Lu Xi took a sip of refreshing iced fruit tea, wiped her mouth haphazardly, and asked, "What's up?"

"Go out and keep watch."

"Oh."

Seeing Lu Xi obediently walk to the door, Lu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.

"waste."

Afterwards, once Qin Suiyou and Beitang Yan had agreed, Lu Yu raised his hand and began to form hand seals to cast a spell.

To be honest, Lu Xi's talent in magic is much higher than Lu Yu's, which also makes him learn other things much faster than Lu Yu. However, apart from what he is interested in, Lu Xi is basically unwilling to learn anything. His relatively shallow medical knowledge was all obtained by Qin Suiyou in exchange for some things that Lu Xi was interested in.

If Lu Xilai were to perform the technique Lu Yu used to examine Beitang Yan's spiritual energy, it would be much easier for him. However, he is used to being lazy and will not perform any slightly more sophisticated techniques unless Lu Yu is not around and it is absolutely necessary.

However, despite his words, Lu Yu still indulged Lu Xi's laziness and never forced Lu Xi to learn anything.

Getting back to the main point, after Lu Yu finished forming the hand seals, he pushed his right hand forward, and a rotating halo with intricate print patterns disappeared into Beitang Yan's body.

Beitang Yan had already agreed with Qin Suiyou that he would sit and wait for Lu Yu to finish examining him. However, when he felt a cool power coursing through his body, he subconsciously resisted it. This resistance was clearly reflected in Lu Yu, the source of the power.

Lu Yu frowned, clicked his tongue, and suppressed the surging spiritual energy within his body.

Qin Suiyou immediately understood what was going on. Just as Beitang Yan had sensed that Lu Yu and Lu Xi's auras were different from ordinary people, he could also sense the fluctuations of different powers between the two.

Qin Suiyou patted Beitang Yan on the shoulder and said gently, "Relax."

The two simple words quickly soothed Beitang Yan's restless resistance. The faint yet refreshing fragrance emanating from his wife filled his nostrils, and Beitang Yan's furrowed brows relaxed.

After a short while, Lu Yu put away the seal, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

Upon seeing this, Qin Suiyou immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, Lu Xi, who sensed that the event inside had ended, also walked in.

"Why do you look so weird?"

Lu Yu glanced at Lu Xi, then opened his right hand, revealing a ball of light in his palm.

Lu Xi, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, suddenly had a tremor in his pupils upon seeing this, and then involuntarily raised his hand to touch the ball of light.

The cluster of light resembled a gathering of stars, and many of them adhered to Lu Xi's fingertips as soon as he touched it.

As Lu Xi rubbed her fingertips, she seemed surprised by something, her mouth almost forming a circle.

"This is……"

Turning to meet Lu Yu's gaze for a moment, and seeing him nod slightly, Lu Xi continued softly, "Divine power."

Though spoken softly, it was enough for the other three people in the study to hear clearly.

After a moment of silence, Qin Suiyou asked, "Is it the power within him?"

Lu Yu nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, the divine power within him is very special. If he shows resistance, it will be almost impossible for external forces to enter his body without harming him. However, if he does not resist, as long as the power is not malicious, that divine power will nourish my spiritual power."

Qin Suiyou looked at Beitang Yan, who seemed oblivious, and said softly, "So, he was probably a god before, and a good god at that."

Beitang Yan reacted at this point. As if he had thought of something, he said happily, "Does his saying that mean I'm very capable?"

At this moment, Lu Xi, covering the two fingers that had just touched the divine power Lu Yu had released from his spiritual energy, walked smiling to Beitang Yan's side.

"You must be amazing. Nobody can be more amazing than you. You might have been an incredible genius before..."

Reaching out to pull Lu Xi, who had been smacking her lips for a while and had been flattering Beitang Yan, Lu Yu warned, "Don't even think about using your divine power to take a shortcut through Beitang Yan."
