[Book 1-11] Stellar Transformation

Book 1 Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Midnight Discussion

"Who is it?" asks a black-armored soldier at the entrance of Misty Villa in a cold voice. The other black-armored soldier also looks at the silhouette far away. Only after a while can these 2 black-armored soldiers see clearly that the person coming is Third Prince Qin Yu. They cannot help feeling startled, but they still kneel down as usual and say respectfully: "Third Prince!"

Because Qin Yu has been running, there are small drops of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes are shining with excitement. His whole face has reddened. He says: "You two please stand up," and even smiles at the 2 black-armored soldiers. After that he hurriedly skips into Misty Villa.

These 2 soldiers look at Qin Yu's back with doubtful eyes.

"When Third Prince went to watch the stars on top of the mountain, he usually waited until after the daybreak of the following day. Why did he return so early this time?" says the black-armored soldier on the left side doubtfully.

The soldier on the right side also shakes his head in confusion. He obviously does not know the reason.

Lian Yan is the person whom Qin Yu calls 'Grandpa Lian.' He is an old man in the Qin clan. The current East Vanquishing Prince Qin De was brought up by him, so his voice in the Qin clan is still very influential. 2 years ago, Qin De let him go to Misty Villa to take care of Qin Yu.

Like a gust of wind, Qin Yu rushes right to the outside of Lian Yan's room. Then he immediately knocks the door powerfully with his little fists.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

"Grandpa Lian, hurry up and open the door. I'm Xiao Yu. I have something to talk to you about. Quickly open the door," shouts Qin Yu hurriedly. After a short while, there is lamplight in the room. "Xiao Yu, your grandpa fell into sleep just a moment ago, but you already woke him up," says a benign voice. Then the door opens.

A kind old man in his sixties wrapped in a coat appears before Qin Yu.

"Ah, Xiao Yu, what's the matter? Your head is sweating a lot." Lian Yan is startled upon seeing Qin Yu. Qin Yu wants to say something but because was running hard not long ago, he can only gasp for breath. Lian Yan says hastily: "Come on, get in the room first and talk later." As he is saying, he leads Qin Yu into the room.

The 2 of them sit down at the table in the room.

"Calm down. There's no hurry. Let's talk about it after you have caught your breath," says Lian Yan hurriedly as he sees that Qin Yu wants to say something. Qin Yu takes a deep breath then stares at Lian Yan and says very resolutely: "Grandpa Lian, I want to practice martial arts."

Practice martial arts? Lian Yan is slightly taken aback. After that he asks laughingly: "Xiao Yu, why do you want to practice martial arts?"

Qin Yu is slightly jolted. But then he says with happy laughter: "There's no reason. It's just that every one of those uncles in Misty Villa is so formidable, so I want to be like them too. Grandpa Lian, can I practice martial arts?"

Qin Yu's desire for his father's affection is buried at the bottom of his heart. He only thinks that when buried in his heart, it will become a goal for him to unceasingly strive for later.

"Xiao Yu, do you know what martial arts are?" asks Lian Yan instead of answering.

Qin Yu shakes his head and says: "I only know martial arts practitioners are very formidable. I don't know much about anything else. There seems to be stuff like internal energy as well." As an 8 year old kid, even though Qin Yu has read quite a few books, there are still too many things he does not know about.
