Star Transformation

Secrets (Part 3)

The people of the Qin clan had already been a part of the Chu kingdom for several hundred years without doing their plans. But why did after several hundred years, they decide to act?

Confused about this, Qin Yu looked towards Qin De and asked doubtfully.

"Dad, our Qin Clan has never done anything for the past few hundred years, yet why should we act 5 years later? Could it be that we really need several hundred years of preparation to destroy the Xiang clan? If we fight, why don't we fight earlier?" Qin Yu himself was not convinced that this was the right thing.

"Yu'er," Qin De's face suddenly looked a little angry. "Now, since you have asked, I will tell you another secret."

Suddenly his eldest brother Qing Feng looked even colder, there was no smiling expression at all on his second brother Qin Zheng's face, and at the same time Xu Yuan stopped swinging his fan. Qin Yu also felt that the entire atmosphere in this secret room had already changed. He knew the matter his father would mention was important.

Qin De looked like he was staring at time. He said in an unclear voice. "Yu'er, 14 years ago, when your oldest brother was 10, your mother died. At the time, there was a huge fire. I told you in the past that it was the fire that killed your mother, but what really happened was... Your mother has been murdered!" All of Qin De's facial muscles started to tremble. There was only sadness and destruction in his eyes.

"Bang!" Qin Yu felt that there were various explosions in his head. His face turned very pale.

"Mother has been murdered?" For a while, Qin Yu's mind went awry. She lost her mother when she was 2 years old. At the time, he was very small and did not remember his mother.

Thinking about his mother. The first thing that came to Qin Yu's mind was the painting. Not long after he was born, when he was 1 month old, a painter was asked to draw the painting. A painting of a young married woman smiling with a baby on her chest. Her loving eyes radiated a motherly radiance.

When Qin Yu was very small, there was a lot of time when he stood foolishly looking at the painting and said to himself. "This is my mother" as her mind tried hard to remember her mother. Sometimes his mother appears in his dreams.

Whenever Qin Yu sees another child with his mother in Yan City, he wishes his mother were still alive. How much he wanted his mother alive. When he was very young he cried to his father continuously – constantly asking his mother.

After he grew up, Qin Yu did not cry and asked his mother again. Because when he thought of his mother, he looked up at the stars, because Lian's grandfather once said, the dead will go up into the sky and become stars. This was also one of the reasons Qin Yu liked to see stars.

Now the little Qin Yu has grown up, and now he is told that his mother did not die from the fire, but was killed.

"Who killed my mother?" qin Yu shouted while looking at Qin De. Her eyes are red.

Mom, the only mother. Emotions pulsed in his soul. The image of his mother in Qin Yu's mind was shattered into pieces like a broken glass. Streams of fury erupted from within his soul, reaching his chest until his breathing was tight. This is the wrath. This is absolute hatred.

"Who! Who killed my mother!" all the muscles of Qin Yu's hand started to tremble. His whole body began to boil.

Qin Feng and Qin Zheng's eyes also turned red.

"Could possibly.." It was as if there was enlightenment coming in like light into Qin Yu's mind. Qin Yu immediately suspects one possible suspect. He looked at his father then said, "Dad, could it be that mother was killed by the Xiang clan? Right so?"

"Yes, the killer is the Xiang clan, moreover, the one who has killed your mother is the current Chu Emperor, Xiang Guang. He killed your mother. Your brother witnessed this incident with his own eyes." Qin De said with an ice-cold voice. For a moment, there was complete silence in the secret room.

"Xiang Guang, he thought after he killed Jing Yi, then he made a fake fire, what he was doing would really be a secret. She thought, after she lost the evidence, I couldn't figure out what was going on. But she had no idea that Feng'er, who was 10 at the time, was in Jing Yi's room." Qin De's killing aura increases.

"At that time, if it wasn't for Uncle Feng, I might have already died and no one would have known the truth about mother's death." Qin Feng said coldly.

Everything becomes light.

Everything becomes clear.

Moreover, it would be difficult for them to destroy the Chu dynasty and the Qin Clan would probably fall and perish. For the past several hundred years, the Qin clan had always been unable to take the decision to give up its present lifestyle and overthrow the Chu Dynasty. However the death of the wife of the current Qin clan head, Qin De.

Cause them to make decisions. Therefore 14 years ago, Qin De began to organize a power struggle, and he even set in motion some plans prepared several hundred years earlier.

"Dad, I want to get into the army. I will completely avenge mother's death!" Qin Yu said firmly while looking at his father. There are only 2 ways for him to take revenge. First, is to use silent killing. Second was to use the army to destroy the Xiang clan directly and it would be easy for him to kill Xiang Guang.

To infiltrate and kill Xiang Guang?

Qin Yu thought for a while about it then he gave up. As the emperor of Chu, Xiang Guang had always been protected by many fighters. Even an Innate fighter would have a very small chance of killing him. After all, Qin Yu can only practice external techniques, therefore, he has no other choice but to follow Qin De's plan.

"Empty Omong!" Qin De looked at Qin Yu and reprimanded him. "You're a kid. You haven't even studied the art of war or the art of government. How can you lead an army?"

"I can become a frontline warrior, I will become an infantry soldier," Qin Yu replied immediately. He understood he knew nothing about leading an army in battle but he could not imagine just remaining silent somewhere. Moreover, this bloody battle was a battle due to the murder of his mother.

"A frontline soldier? Infantryman?" Qin De shook his head and said. "If we want to destroy the Xiang clan in war, the army will be mobilized by hundreds of thousands. On the battlefield, once the army is lined up, you won't even be able to see the end of it. With so many people fighting simultaneously? What can you do? As long as you still can't become an Innate fighter, you can't save your own life in the midst of such a huge army!"

Qin Yu was unable to speak.

"But.." he wanted to protest.

Qin De walked to his side, he stroked his shoulder and said sincerely. "Yu'er, you must understand, you are the son of the Qin clan. In fact, the blood of the Qin clan could not tolerate mistakes. Your eldest brother, is a general and he has also reached the Innate level, so I will definitely not worry about him. Your second brother will be far from the front lines to handle political and governmental affairs with me, so I'm not worried about him either. If you become a frontline soldier, and then you die on duty? How can I explain it to your ancestors? How can I explain to your dead mother?"

"Yu'er don't be stubborn, if you join the army, you will only make people worry about you. Yu'er, you're an adult, you have to learn how to see the big picture in its entirety." Qin De looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu thought for a moment.

He understood that he could not help in dealing with political affairs. If he became a frontline soldier, his father would be negatively affected while leading an army because he would not be able to ignore his own son in a certain army.

Moreover, the attack power of someone like him would have no effect in a war amidst an army on a large scale.

Qin Yu made his own judgment in his mind. If he were to enter into a plan of power struggle, he might not be of any use, the worst of which was that he would instead exert a negative influence on his father.

"Dad, I understand. I won't be an obstacle to you all." Qin Yu said with a nod, he turned around then left immediately. Seeing Qin Yu leave, Qin De did not feel pleased. Qin Feng, Qin Zheng and Xu Yuan all stood up and followed Qin Yu's departure with their eyes.

The moment Qin Yu reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around, looked towards everyone and said. "Father, first brother, second brother, Uncle Xu, please avenge my mother's death."

"Third sister, don't worry, we will all definitely destroy the Xiang clan." Qin Zheng said firmly. Qin Feng also nodded solemnly to Qin Yu. Xu Yuan and Qin De also looked towards Qin Yu to show they understood what he meant.

"Thank you!" After Qin Yu finished speaking, he directly left the secret room without looking back and headed towards the corridor. It's midnight now. The sky was full of stars that could not be counted. A cold wind blew in the middle of the night, making Qin Yu's entire body tremble nonstop.

Qin Yu then turned around and looked towards the room that was next to the corridor. The secret room was underground from that space. "Maybe dad and the others are discussing an important plan, but I can't offer anything as a favor.." Qin Yu smiled bitterly then he was kind and immediately left the place.
