The destination surprised Ji You—it was—
The school’s medical room.
Mu Jianling led the way, stepping inside. After a few steps, she realized Ji You wasn’t following, turned her head, and frowned, "Aren’t you coming?"
Suppressing a tingling scalp, Ji You asked, "Teacher... could you... tell me why I need to come here?"
Honestly, she had a natural fear of this place.
It wasn’t because of the unknown Iron Plate in the Spiritual World and Xiao You inside that Iron Plate.
This was Ji You’s only secret.
It was also the one thing Ji You didn’t want anyone to know.
Even Mu Jianling, as strict as she was with Ji You but actually always considering Ji You’s well-being, Ji You still didn’t want to let her teacher pry into her secrets.
It was okay for herself, but she dared not gamble with Xiao You’s safety.
When it came to Xiao You’s safety, Ji You trusted no one but herself.
Therefore, Ji You was somewhat resistant to going to the school’s medical room for a detailed body check-up.
Urged by Teacher Mu Jianling, and under her staring gaze, Ji You had no choice but to follow with a tingling scalp.
The glass door of the medical room swung open as Mu Jianling stepped in, followed by Ji You, who immediately saw Dr. Luo Wei, dressed in a white coat and with a gentle smile.
Sitting on the sofa beside the coffee table, Director Wang was pouring tea from a teapot.
Director Wang looked up, glanced at Ji You, and revealed a slight smile.
Ji You put on a fake smile and greeted, "Hello, Director Wang."
Director Wang said with a smile: "You’re busy, don’t mind me. I’m just here drinking tea."
Here, as soon as Ji You entered the door, Dr. Luo stared at her for a few seconds, and for some reason, her eyes showed a hint of disappointment. Ji You was also confused about the disappointment in her eyes.
Then, she heard Dr. Luo say with a laugh, "Ji You, we haven’t seen each other for a while, but I think your old face looked better."
Ji You subconsciously touched her face, "My old face?"
Dr. Luo said, "To be specific, your face from two months ago."
Ji You suddenly remembered and her face slightly stiffened. With a clenched mouth, she said, "Dr. Luo really has a sense of humor."
Two months ago, wasn’t that when she had just started classes at the Combat Department, matching wits with the Little Robot, and then got beaten up by the Little Robot till she had a pig face?
Dr. Luo Wei, upon hearing this, continued with a tender smile and even brazenly stared at Ji You’s face, looking from left to right, then after a while, said with regret, "Back then, you were really cute."
At this moment, Mu Jianling said directly, "Luo Wei, don’t waste time, give her a check-up."
Upon hearing this, Ji You’s heart trembled, and she asked softly, "Teach—Teacher... may I ask, why do I need a physical examination?"
Mu Jianling gave her a glance and said irritably, "You’ve eaten so many Candy Beans, drunk so much Cloud Mist Tea, with all those good things going down, even a pig would undergo some changes. I want to check your condition."
Ji You quietly defended herself: "But... but I didn’t eat that much, and I only drank less than 10 grams of Cloud Mist Tea."
Ji You braced herself and said: "Besides, I paid for those things."
Mu Jianling raised a hand, pointed towards the door, and said with a smirk: "Either go in for a check-up, or buy them at the original price in the future."
This is the real definition of an Overlord!
Everyone else is just weak in comparison.
With a bitter face, Ji You howled: "Teacher... you can’t bully the poor."
Ji You’s heart trembled fiercely, and she deflated, saying: "I... I’ll go."
Beside her, Dr. Luo said with a smile: "Classmate Ji You, don’t be afraid. It’s just a professional check-up. We won’t slice you up for research or anything like that, and only a few of us will know the test results. You can rest assured."
Dr. Luo’s words sounded rather human, which eased Ji You’s nervous heart somewhat. She quickly asked: "Dr. Luo, is there something wrong with my body? Otherwise... why would you check so many times?"
Dr. Luo explained with a smile: "Your spiritual power is very special, so you as a person are also special. But don’t worry too much. After all, this is a school, a place for educating students, and we definitely won’t slice you up for anything. However, we must keep track of your physical condition regularly, in case there might be any hidden safety issues, right?"
Ji You scratched her head and said: "As long as the teachers don’t slice me up or conduct any illegal research, I’m naturally at ease."
It’s always best to lay out the ugly truth first, so you’re prepared just in case something happens. Speaking her mind so candidly, Ji You did not hide her worries at all.
Dr. Luo burst into laughter when hearing this and shook her head, saying: "The way you talk, I really want to take you in for some research."
Mu Jianling looked at Ji You annoyed and cursed: "Nonsense, who has the time to deal with your crap? Just hurry up and get checked so we don’t waste time."
Having heard this, Ji You completely relaxed.
She obediently followed Dr. Luo into the examination room and cooperated with the various tests.
After about an hour, Dr. Luo stopped and said: "Alright, you can go now."
After Ji You stepped out of the examination room, she noticed that both Teacher Mu Jianling and Dr. Luo had rather serious looks on their faces. Ji You couldn’t help but ask: "Teacher... Dr. Luo, is there a problem?"
Dr. Luo shook her head and replied: "There’s no problem."
Before Ji You could even feel relieved, she heard Mu Jianling scold: "Good-for-nothing! After eating so much, there’s not even a little change."
Confused, Ji You asked: "Teacher, what do you mean?"
Mu Jianling snorted coldly, without a word.
Dr. Luo had a better temper and explained gently: "Your body’s various metrics haven’t changed much from the check-up two months ago, especially your spiritual power, which has hardly changed at all."
Ji You asked: "What does this... this indicate?"
Dr. Luo thought for a moment and explained: "Physically, continuing won’t be much of a problem for you, but—the fact that your spiritual power hasn’t changed much after using so many Candy Beans suggests that either the Candy Beans are no longer effective, or there’s some other issue."
Ji You listened in silence.
Dr. Luo continued: "Unless, you’re willing to keep it this way, accepting that you won’t improve and just live an ordinary life."
