Chapter 6: Meteor Tears (Part 2)

  ————————————

  On the second day, early in the morning, Qin Yu left the Wang Fu alone and returned to Yunwu Mountain Villa, accompanied only by Heiying.

  Back in the Yunwu Mountain Villa, Qin Yu's training became even more intense and he drastically reduced the time spent on going out to receive assassination missions. Most of his time was spent constantly improving himself. When Qin De learned of this news, he could only bitterly smile and didn't say a word.

  Midnight half a month later.

  Qin Yu walked out of the room and stood in the center of the courtyard. With a sudden burst of force from his feet, he leaped up to the rooftop in an instant. Sitting on the rooftop, Qin Yu gazed silently at the endless starry sky. Beside him, the black eagle also stood quietly by his side.

  Yunwu Mountain Villa is located on the mountain waist, Qin Yu is on the roof and can even see the cliff not far away. A gust of cold wind blows from the deep and secluded cliff, but Qin Yu is completely unaware.

  "Xiao Hei, I feel like I'm completely useless," Qin Yu said in a low voice to the black eagle beside him.

  The black eagle's dark eyes stared at Qin Yu, and it spread its huge wings to cover Qin Yu's back, as if comforting him.

  Looking up at the starry sky, Qin Yu's voice was a little ethereal and tinged with bitterness: "When I was young, I thought Father didn't care about me, so I worked hard to cultivate just to get him to spend more time with me. But when I grew older, I found out that Father did care about me deep down. It's just... he had his own affairs and no time to waste on me. Wiping out the imperial clan of Item House to avenge Mother is indeed difficult. Father, big brother, second brother have been working hard all along, while I..."

  "And I'm completely useless. I'm not good at governance, and I don't know how to lead troops either. With this little bit of ability, in the midst of thousands of soldiers and horses, it's fundamentally useless." Qin Yu's fists clenched involuntarily, "Actually...I also want to help Father Emperor, actually, I also want to make myself useful, at least a little bit useful would be good too."

  It's a pity that good iron is not made into steel.

  Qin Yu hated himself, hated his own uselessness.

  From a young age, Qin Yu felt that he was always lonely. Although he could feel that his father cared about him, the time spent together between them from when he was six to sixteen years old, a total of ten years, did not exceed one month.

  He doesn't hate his own father, he just hates himself for being useless.

  He now knows what his father is doing. Qin Yu also wants to do something. He also wants to help his father, but he really can't help with anything.

  "For my father, I'm probably just a burden. Innate boundary. When can I reach it? At the rate of progress of my current skills, to reach the extreme limit of external skills, at least five or six years are needed." Qin Yu sighed.

  After a long time, Qin Yu suddenly stood up, took a deep breath, and his eyes shone with a resolute light.

  "Big brother, second brother, Father King, you are all working hard and preparing for the big war five years later. Then I will also work hard to cultivate myself in these five years, at least within five years... I want to reach the realm of Zhao Yun Xing teacher, reach the extreme of acquired skills." Qin Yu set a goal for himself.

  Value, a person living in the world must have value. At least in the eyes of parents, there is some value, otherwise, it's just a miserable existence. Qin Yu didn't like relying on his father's status as a spoiled son, he wanted to achieve something, at least... be able to help his own father.

  ……

  The Dragon Continent is extremely vast, but the ocean outside the Dragon Continent is tens or even hundreds of times larger than the Dragon Continent.

  The boundless ocean suddenly surged violently, without a hurricane or any reason, it just surged violently out of thin air. At the same time, the spiritual energy of the entire world was shaken in an instant. The waves rose to a height of hundreds of feet before crashing down again. All cultivators felt the chaos of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and for a moment, they were unable to absorb it at all.

  "Whoosh!"

  In the sky, a very bright meteor suddenly appeared in mid-air and flew at high speed towards the Penglai Continent in a straight line, even emitting a sharp whistling sound. After a moment, the meteor disappeared. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth also instantly recovered its stability, and the boundless ocean returned to its usual appearance.

  ……

  "Shooting star!" Qin Yu saw a shooting star flying from the high altitude, and immediately watched it carefully on the rooftop. The shooting star was actually flying directly towards Qin Yu's direction. Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "No way, this shooting star won't fly directly to Yunwu Mountain Villa, will it?"

  Qin Yu knew that some meteorites were formed when shooting stars fell from the sky.

  "It's possible that I might still find a large piece of meteorite." Qin Yu thought to himself, but what made him slightly disappointed was that the shooting star had disappeared from view when it reached mid-air, still quite far away from Qin Yu.

  "Whatever, but being able to see a shooting star is still pretty good luck." Qin Yu smiled slightly and then jumped off the roof, wanting to jump down. However, as he jumped up, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

  "What's that?" Qin Yu vaguely saw a faint light rising in the Western Garden, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Qin Yu immediately ran towards the Western Garden, and upon arriving at the center of it, he carefully looked around, yet didn't see anything unusual.

  Qin Yu walked a few steps beside the hot spring and suddenly felt a reflection on the ground.

  "What is that." Qin Yu vaguely saw a crystal-like thing on the ground, Qin Yu squatted down to take a closer look, it was a red crystal pendant-like object, picked it up and put it in his hand, this crystal was shaped like a teardrop.

  "A crimson, teardrop-shaped crystal, it should be a crystal." Qin Yu looked at the crystal in his palm and unconsciously fell in love with this 'crystal'.

  "Let's set this 'crystal' into a pendant, it'll make a great gift for Xiaolu, she'll definitely love it. Hmm, what should we call it if it turns out well?" Qin Yu furrowed his brow in thought, then his eyes lit up, "Ah, since we saw it after seeing the shooting star and it's shaped like tears, let's call it 'Shooting Star Tears'."

  Meteor Tears, Qin Yu was very satisfied with this name.

  Qin Yu slightly tried it on his chest, nodded in satisfaction, but suddenly felt a lightness in the palm of his hand. The 'crystal' from just now had... had mysteriously disappeared. It vanished into thin air right from Qin Yu's palm.

  Qin Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

  "What the hell?!" Qin Yu's heart was shaken, he had never encountered such a bizarre thing.

  The thing in his hand vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed before. But Qin Yu was absolutely certain that he had indeed found a crimson teardrop-shaped crystal just now, and he even named it Meteor's Tear.

  "How could it be gone? Could there be a master or immortal who used the technique of capturing objects from afar to take it away directly?" Qin Yu thought to himself, "No, that's not right. I was holding it in my hand. Even if someone had captured it from afar, I should have felt the 'crystal' move. Unless... it vanished into thin air?"

  Qin Yu couldn't imagine it, moving something out of thin air and making it disappear, what kind of magical power was that.

  "Even an immortal wouldn't necessarily have such abilities, and would a super expert like that come to tease me in the middle of the night?" Qin Yu was puzzled.

  In Xiyuan, the confused Qin Yu thought for a long time, but couldn't find any reason, so he could only leave Xiyuan with confusion and helplessness.
