Chapter 2, Determination

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Qin Yu's face, a radiant and blissful smile: "Xiao Hei, do you know? When I was very, very young, my father was often by my side and cared for me deeply. Later, those twelve teachers came, and my father asked me to study with them. Although I didn't enjoy learning those things, I still worked hard to learn them to make my father happy. I quickly mastered those characters, and my father even praised me as a child prodigy. But later... when I was very, very young, my father was often by my side and cared for me deeply. Later, those twelve teachers came, and my father asked me to study with them. Although I didn't enjoy learning those things, I still worked hard to learn them to make my father happy. I quickly mastered those characters, and my father even praised me as a child prodigy. But later..."

Qin Zheng nodded and smiled at Qin Yu, saying: "Indeed, you have no idea. I managed to squeeze out time for this visit with great effort. However, even so, I only have half a day's rest. After half a day, I must hurry back."

"Second brother, do you think your elder brother is a pig, falling asleep so quickly?" The stern young man, who had been quietly lying with his eyes closed on the other side of the hot spring, opened his eyes and said to Qin Zheng. He then smiled at Qin Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, this hot spring at Yunwu Mountain Villa is indeed miraculous. Last time I soaked here, the scars on my body faded significantly, and now only faint traces remain. If I soak for a few more days, I estimate my body will be just like yours."

suddenly

"Father..." Qin Feng seemed to realize he had said something wrong, and immediately added, "Actually, there is nothing much; it's just that there is temporarily nothing happening with the army, so I came back. Father also permitted it. I found my second brother and brought him along."

I really do not like those books about power struggles and conspiracies, truly, I have forced myself to read them. I really, really want to see my father's smile, to hear my father's affirmations and praises for me, but those conspiracies, those venomous plots, those schemes... I, I force myself, I suppress myself to read them, I know all those cunning strategies and political maneuvers, but I cannot do it. I cannot do it, Father, I really cannot do it!

Elder brother Qin Feng and second brother Qin Zheng both laughed

"Elder brother, you have spoken incorrectly this time. Xiaoyu does not like schemes or strategies for power, and due to issues with his dantian, he is unable to cultivate into a martial general. Thus, he cannot excel in either civil or military affairs. Our father has devoted all his energy to us, yet Xiaoyu rarely sees him, spending most of his time alone with books. If you say that our father has been practicing military chess with you for half a year, how do you think Xiaoyu feels about that?" Qin Zheng said to Qin Feng, appearing quite angry.

Qin Yu began to cry softly, his frail body trembling. Beside him, the little black bird with its shiny eyes stared at Qin Yu, using its small wings to wipe his face.

In the chilly breeze, a slender figure sat atop the mountain, with a black fledgling eagle quietly perched on his shoulder. Qin Yu gazed at the vast expanse of stars, his eyes reflecting a maturity far beyond that of his peers

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly brightened. He immediately released the small black creature in his arms, stood up, tightly closed his eyes, and clasped his hands in front of him: "Let my father care for me, just as he does for my elder brother and second brother. Beat me, punish me, I am not afraid, as long as he does not ignore me, that is enough."

"My father once said that if you make a wish before a shooting star, it will come true. My father would not lie to me; it will definitely come true." Looking at the sky full of stars, there was a sense of determination on Qin Yu's youthful face

"Hehe, Xiaoyu, how can you be so arrogant with your second and eldest brothers? This is really too much. Your second brother and eldest brother are working hard every day, while you get to enjoy the hot springs every day, and it's even the hot springs of Yunwu Mountain Villa!" A young man said indignantly, though there was a hint of a smile deep in his eyes.

Third Prince

"You mean the elder brother? Haha, he is almost asleep," Qin Zheng said with a hearty laugh

Outside Yunwu Mountain Villa

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the meteor that had reached the ends of the earth and sky

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration illuminated Qin Yu's mind

Beneath the mountain path, Qin Feng and Qin Zheng were riding side by side on a fierce tiger

After playing for a long time, Qin Yu comfortably lay down quietly in the hot spring, while Qin Feng and Qin Zheng also settled down.

Qin Yu, dressed in a black brocade robe, looked at Qin Feng and Qin Zheng in the distance, waving his hand repeatedly

"Whoever dares to bully Xiao Yu, I will make him regret coming into this world!" A glint of cold light flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes

In the dark at the top of the mountain, three skilled individuals secretly protecting Qin Yu could not help but sigh.

Suddenly, Qin Yu spoke while looking at the starry sky, but his eyes remained fixed on the countless stars. The black eagle on Qin Yu's shoulder stirred slightly, its pitch-black eyes spinning around a couple of times, yet it did not understand why its little master had called out to it

... ...

Indeed, my father is exceptionally skilled in leading troops. I practiced military chess with him for a full six months before I barely met his expectations. Qin Feng seemed to recall those days and unconsciously remarked, "My father is truly remarkable in commanding troops!"

Qin Feng gave a bitter smile and said, "Second brother, I didn't pay attention for a moment, and I regret saying it now"

Two black-armored warriors also stood up, watching the small figure of Qin Yu rushing into the courtyard, their eyes filled with a hint of affection

Is it truly impossible to cultivate if the Dantian is abnormal

"Elder Brother, Second Brother, aren't you both very busy? How do you have the opportunity to come here?" Qin Yu inquired

... ...

Hehe, the elder brother and the second brother must be soaking in the hot springs. Qin Yu didn't need to think much and directly ran towards the hot spring area in the West Garden of Yunwu Villa, muttering to himself, "Hmph, these two guys dare to enter the hot springs casually without the permission of the dignified master of Yunwu Villa..."

Qin Yu fell silent once more, gazing up at the myriad stars in the sky

Qin Yu turned his head to look at the black eagle on his shoulder, suddenly embracing it tightly in his arms. The black eagle remained very quiet in Qin Yu's embrace, as if it understood its young master's feelings at that moment: "Little Black, I really want to hear my father's praise, I want to see my father's happy smile, I truly wish for it..." Qin Yu murmured softly.

Upon hearing his elder brother speak of the miraculous effects of the hot springs, Qin Yu stood up with a sense of pride, puffing out his small chest and raising his little head, he said with satisfaction: "Of course, the miraculous effects of the hot springs at Yunwu Villa need no further mention. Hmph, don't you see who the owner of Yunwu Villa is? It is none other than your younger brother, me!"

"Second Brother, it really is you. I knew it was you; only you would drag me into this. Eldest Brother wouldn't do that." Qin Yu quickly removed his shirt and pants, leaving only his shorts as he soaked in the hot spring, looking displeased at his Second Brother, Qin Zheng.

"Xiao Hei, let us go to https://m.hetushu.com.com and return to the villa!" Qin Yu said, and as he made the decision, he felt a sense of purpose; everything would become different.

At this moment, Qin Zheng is merely a twelve-year-old boy, yet he always wears a warm smile on his face, making those around him feel as if they are basking in the spring breeze. It is only in the presence of his own brothers that Qin Zheng exhibits the playful antics of a youth.

... ...

Qin Yu has only three relatives: his father and two elder brothers. His father is very busy, coming only once every two years. It is a rare occasion to see his two brothers, but after half a day, he will once again be alone, perhaps accompanied only by the "Little Black" by the hot spring.

In a moment, Qin Yu had already rushed to the western courtyard of the villa

Every day, being alone in the study to read or to think allows Qin Yu to far surpass the thinking of an eight-year-old child

"Elder Brother!" Qin Zheng glanced at Qin Feng, and Qin Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, knowing that he had misspoken.

At the age of six, I remember it clearly, in the tranquil courtyard of the Wang residence, those twelve teachers told me that I could not become a person of high status. Later, Uncle Feng also mentioned my dantian issue, stating that I was unable to accumulate internal energy and could not cultivate. After that, I arrived at Yunwu Mountain Manor. Subsequently... my father no longer valued or cared for me. At that time, I did not understand the meaning of dantian, nor did I comprehend what it meant to be a person of high status. I thought my father had truly sent me here to play, but... at that time, I did not understand the meaning of dantian, nor did I comprehend what it meant to be a person of high status. I thought my father had truly sent me here to play, but...

Qin Yu seemed completely unconcerned, yet his expression was very excited as he began to discuss with Qin Zheng and Qin Feng about their recent experiences. The three brothers talked for a long time in the hot spring, and after having dinner, Qin Feng and Qin Zheng were finally ready to leave

Qin Feng and Qin Zheng turned back and smiled at Qin Yu, and then the two mounted two fierce tigers. Behind them, nearly one hundred elite soldiers also rode on fierce tigers, and in a moment, they had disappeared from the mountain path, leaving no trace.

Outside the gate of Yunwu Mountain Villa, there are two massive stone lions, and two warriors clad in black armor stand on either side of the gate, scanning the surroundings. They stand tall like solitary pines, their robust bodies naturally exuding a murderous aura, a presence that can only be possessed by true warriors who have experienced the bloody battlefield

Qin Yu is still just an eight-year-old child. Although he has matured significantly in his thinking due to reading many books alone, he remains just a child. In the past, because Feng Yuzi had mentioned that there was a problem with his dantian, which prevented him from cultivating, Qin Yu had formed a fixed mindset. At this moment, he has finally come to realize this.

Qin Yu lowered his head and bit his lip, his eyes filled with melancholy: "Over the past two years, I have also been curious and asked those uncles about the meanings of the dantian and the higher-ups. I think I should understand the reason why Father no longer values me.

Late at night, atop Donglan Mountain.

Yunwu Mountain Villa is located on the slope of Donglan Mountain, where a team of brave soldiers patrols openly for protection. The skilled experts hidden within are completely unknown to outsiders. Moreover, this Yunwu Mountain Villa belongs to the Lord of the East Town, and who would dare to invade, valuing their life.

Qin Feng and Qin Zheng exchanged a glance, both feeling a deep sense of helplessness in their hearts

"Elder brother, has our father gone to the boundless wilderness to teach you many strategies for leading troops?" Qin Yu suddenly laughed again and immediately asked, "I know that our father is very skilled in commanding troops, as even grandfather often mentions it."

Qin Yu fell silent

Puff

Qin Yu had not seen his elder brother and second brother for a long time, and they began to playfully tease each other. However, Qin Feng and Qin Zheng were slightly more accommodating towards Qin Yu. Both Qin Feng and Qin Zheng were very fond of their younger brother, and since they had no mother, they naturally cared for him even more.

This is Qin Yu's elder brother, Qin Feng, who is already sixteen years old this year. Due to his martial arts training, he appears to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. Qin Feng is someone whom Qin Yu greatly admires. The last time he saw his brother, he witnessed him shatter a wooden post as thick as a thigh with a single punch, which made Qin Yu extremely envious

Qin Yu quickly jumped down from the back of the tiger, and the black eagle perched steadily on his shoulder. At this moment, Qin Yu was evidently very excited and happy, swiftly running towards the main gate while cheerfully saying to the two soldiers, "Uncles, hurry up and get up."

Two black-armored warriors suddenly knelt on one knee and respectfully said

The two brothers, accompanied by their guards, quickly left Donglan Mountain and headed towards the capital city of Yan.

Oh, just half a day. Qin Yu responded to the book, appearing somewhat desolate, as the earlier excitement and playfulness had completely vanished.

A meteor streaked across the starry sky, its brilliance dazzling; for a moment, the light of the meteor surpassed that of any other star in the sky

Suddenly, Qin Feng's expression turned stern: "Second brother, Xiao Yu was born with a problem in his dantian, and he has no talent in either literature or martial arts, lacking the ability to protect himself. We must ensure Xiao Yu's safety and absolutely cannot allow him to be bullied by anyone."

Meteor

Qin Yu stood with his hands on his hips, suddenly pointing his right hand, filled with vigor as he glared at the two individuals in the hot spring, saying: "Hey, you two have some nerve, entering the sacred grounds of the hot spring without my permission, ah..." Before Qin Yu could finish his exclamation, a hand suddenly reached out and yanked him forcefully, causing him to lose his balance and tumble into the hot spring.

"I haven't taken off my clothes yet!" With Qin Yu's loud shout, he fell into the hot spring with a "thud," splashing countless droplets of water. The black eagle on Qin Yu's shoulder hurriedly flapped its wings repeatedly, narrowly avoiding falling into the hot spring; otherwise, this future eagle would have turned into a drenched chicken.

At this moment, the black eagle perched on Qin Yu's shoulder seemed quite pleased, flapping its wings repeatedly. Qin Yu hopped and ran towards the Cloud Mist Villa. In a moment, three dark figures flashed by, like three wisps of smoke, chasing after Qin Yu.

You rascal

Qin Yu suddenly spat out the water in his mouth, completely soaking himself. He glared at the boy in front of him, visibly angry.

I am too, after a while, I will also leave with my second brother

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he slapped his forehead: "Ah, I was really too foolish. Wen Wu, Wen Wu, if I can't excel in literature, can't I still excel in martial arts? Uncle Wang once said that there are countless internal martial arts techniques in the world, and perhaps there is one suitable for my dantian. Even if there isn't, does practicing martial arts necessarily require internal skills?"

Goodbye, elder brother and second brother. A hint of reluctance flickered in Qin Yu's eyes

Indeed, as long as one puts in the effort, even an iron pestle can be ground down to a needle. This principle was also stated by my father. As long as I work hard, I will surely succeed. Qin Yu nodded emphatically to himself, his eyes filled with immense confidence and unwavering determination
