494: Possess the body?

In the room, Wu Yingtao was teased by Qin Jiang until she was drenched in sweat.

Only then did Qin Jiang let her go.

In Qin Jiang's arms, Wu Yingtao's delicate body was soft and weak, looking utterly exhausted.

After a while, Qin Jiang looked at her and asked,

“Cherry, do you have an older brother?”

“Mmm~”

Wu Yingtao nodded.

She wasn't surprised that Qin Jiang knew this; after all, with Qin Jiang's status, investigating her background was just a matter of a single word.

In fact, without him even saying anything, the Wu Family would proactively send over her information.

However, Qin Jiang actually brought up her brother on his own. Could it be that he discovered something?

Wu Yingtao’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of struggle flickered in her beautiful eyes. Wu Tian’s strength had always been hidden, and so far, only she knew about it.

Logically, even if Qin Jiang had seen the information, he shouldn’t have noticed anything unusual.

But if he asked, should she be honest?

On one hand, there was her brother, on whom she depended, and on the other, her future husband, who had also provided her with a Cultivation Technique and helped her awaken her Bloodline.

He had helped her immensely.

Wu Yingtao looked at Qin Jiang, muttering in her heart, even if she told him, he wouldn’t harm her brother, right? What’s more, hiding his talent was meaningless.

He even had to take the lowest-grade Cultivation resources.

It would be better to openly display it.

Perhaps Qin Jiang would see her brother's good talent and focus on cultivating him.

With the Lord of Hua Xia's capabilities, if he could focus on cultivating her brother, his future would certainly be limitless.

Thinking of this, Wu Yingtao decided that if Qin Jiang asked, she would tell him everything.

They were all family; there should be no deception.

“Has your brother been acting a bit strange lately, or rather, like a different person?”

At this moment, Qin Jiang continued to ask.

Hearing this, Wu Yingtao's beautiful eyes blinked, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face. He really did find something unusual?

She nodded and said,

“He really seems like a different person. Originally, his talent was very poor, but now, for some unknown reason, it suddenly improved, and his Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.”

“Only his talent changed? What about his personality?”

“Personality?”

Wu Yingtao frowned, thought for a moment, and then hesitantly said,

“His personality has also changed a bit.

Before, because his talent was very poor, his personality was very gloomy; he stayed in his room all day and hardly ever stepped out, but now…

He is no longer gloomy, he looks much more confident, and he is very steady. He also goes out frequently, which should be due to his talent becoming stronger.”

Hearing this, Qin Jiang’s expression gradually grew serious.

Noticing his expression, Wu Yingtao also became a little nervous and asked softly,

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you think the changes before and after, when compared, seem like the same person?”

Qin Jiang asked.

Hearing this, Wu Yingtao recalled and compared it with the current Wu Tian.

Aside from his appearance, it seemed…

Everything else was different.

Her heart slightly trembled, and she suddenly felt a sense of dread. Was her brother…

Still him?

Before, she had never thought about it in detail, but now, after Qin Jiang’s reminder, upon careful thought, she felt that something was wrong. This change was too great.

His talent suddenly improving could be attributed to encountering an Opportunity, but his personality…

It shouldn’t have changed so much.

Moreover, he stayed in his room all day; how could he have encountered an Opportunity?

Everything felt a bit eerie.

She looked at Qin Jiang, her small hand clutching his clothes, and asked,

“Do you know something?”

“I did find something.”

Qin Jiang nodded, hesitated slightly, and then said,

“Actually, when I chose you, I sent people to investigate your information.”

“That’s understandable.”

Wu Yingtao didn’t mind this.

As the dignified Lord of Hua Xia, choosing a partner certainly couldn’t be too casual.

At least, he had to understand them thoroughly.

“While investigating your information, some abnormalities were discovered in your brother.”

Qin Jiang continued.

Hearing this, Wu Yingtao quickly asked,

“What abnormalities?”

“Do you know about Possession?”

“Possession?”

Wu Yingtao’s beautiful eyes widened. As a Cultivator, she naturally knew about Possession.

Some powerful individuals, after falling, might have a remnant Primordial Spirit. Among them, some evil ones would Possess others' bodies to achieve resurrection.

Could it be that her brother was Possessed?

Recalling Wu Tian’s changes, Wu Yingtao felt more and more that this was indeed a possibility.

“My brother, was he Possessed?”

Wu Yingtao’s voice trembled slightly.

Although she had always taken care of Wu Tian, they were still siblings. If something happened to Wu Tian, she naturally couldn't remain indifferent.

Qin Jiang sighed, gently embraced Wu Yingtao, patted her back, and said,

“I can only say that there is indeed such a possibility.

However, we cannot rule out that your brother truly gained some Opportunity, which led to his talent increasing and his confidence soaring, thus causing a significant change in his personality.”

Qin Jiang began to comfort Wu Yingtao.

However, this kind of comfort, in Wu Yingtao's eyes, seemed to have a minuscule possibility.

The greatest possibility was that Wu Tian had been Possessed.

In other words, something had already happened to Wu Tian.

The current Wu Tian was actually another person, not her brother.

Wu Yingtao had almost concluded in her heart that Wu Tian had been Possessed.

Of course, that minuscule possibility wasn't entirely impossible, so it still needed to be truly confirmed.

If Wu Tian was really Possessed, she would definitely avenge her brother!

“Is there any way to confirm it?”

Wu Yingtao asked.

Qin Jiang frowned slightly and shook his head:

“It’s difficult to confirm.

Unless one can see through his Primordial Spirit. Before, I encountered someone who was Possessed; their Primordial Spirit and body were not the same. But to see the Primordial Spirit…

One way is to directly destroy his body, which is certainly not an option. Another way is if he agrees, then his Primordial Spirit can be examined.

Generally speaking, just looking at the Primordial Spirit, most people wouldn't refuse, but if they have something to hide, they probably wouldn't agree to this method.”

Indeed, for everyone, the Primordial Spirit is a secret and not something that can be easily viewed by others. After all, compared to the body, the Primordial Spirit is more fragile.

Moreover, it is also easier to be manipulated.

Therefore, most people protect their Primordial Spirit well.

But now, under Qin Jiang’s guidance, Wu Yingtao felt that if there was nothing to hide, looking at the Primordial Spirit was really no big deal.

What’s more, Wu Tian was her brother; would she really harm him?

Therefore, if Wu Tian was unwilling to let her investigate, it would mean he definitely had something to hide!

Most likely, he was really Possessed.
