"This is the simultaneous soaring of two dragons?"
In a certain location in Guangzhou, an elderly man opened his eyes and murmured as he gazed at the celestial phenomenon in the sky. His brows furrowed, "Two dragons not meeting each other... Why would two hidden dragons soar at the same time? What is happening here?"
"Senior Brother, why are there two hidden dragons appearing in the sky?" Inside a suite of a five-star hotel, a beautiful young woman from Shuanghua asked the young man standing on the balcony, who was lost in thought while looking up at the sky.
"Two dragons soaring, a rare occurrence in a thousand years. It seems that the divine mechanism has been tampered with. What a grand scale it is. Who is capable of such a feat? Doesn't that person know that when two dragons soar, one must perish? Aren't they afraid of accumulating great karmic debts?"
"Interesting, interesting. It seems that there will be a master present at this gathering." A man dressed in a black robe stroked his chin, gazing at the sky with a profound smile.
"Are you saying that someone manipulated the simultaneous soaring of two dragons, Master Fan?"
"Yes, it seems that one of our peers possesses such great abilities. They are able to deceive the divine mechanism. I truly wish to meet this person."
"If Master Fan says so, then you must also have a method to deceive the divine mechanism?"
"I cannot do it." The man in the black robe glanced at the person behind him before shifting his gaze back to the sky, remaining silent.
The person behind him, upon hearing the words of the man in the black robe, revealed a faintly worried expression on their face. However, they quickly concealed it and turned their gaze to the two hidden dragons in the sky. If Qin Yu and Moyoingxing were present, they would recognize the person behind the man in the black robe as He Ping.
At this moment, Qin Yu's face was filled with bitterness. Who would have expected that there would be another hidden dragon soaring in the Jingxiu District today? With two dragons contending, regardless of which hidden dragon failed, he would be the one responsible for all the consequences. This karmic debt would be counted on his head.
Turning his head to look at the four people below who were staring at the sky in astonishment, Qin Yu could only shake his head and lament inwardly, "Meng Yao, oh Meng Yao, your father may be safe now, but this burden of karmic debt will fall on me."
Previously, Qin Yu could sense a hint of hidden dragon resentment from his future father-in-law, but with the hidden dragon soaring, that resentment had completely dissipated.
In the sky, within the clouds, the battle between the two hidden dragons had already reached a fever pitch. Their bodies frequently appeared, and even the citizens could see that the two hidden dragons were fighting.
Suddenly, another dragon roar resounded, but this time, it seemed to carry anger and sorrow. Upon hearing this dragon roar, Qin Yu's eyes gleamed, and he stared intently at the Dragon Gate in the sky.
"Is it about to reach a conclusion?"
At this moment, there were many people whose eyes sparkled just like Qin Yu's. They all looked up, fixated on the sky, as if they wanted to see through what lay beyond the cloud layer.
"It's raining, it's raining."
The figures of the two dragons disappeared within the clouds, and soon after, a drizzle started falling from the sky. Countless citizens exclaimed, "This is the rain brought by the divine dragons."
"Qin Yu, it's suddenly raining. Could it be that the hidden dragon has successfully soared? Huh? Qin Yu, what's wrong with you?"
As the drizzle fell, for some reason, Mo Yongxing felt a sense of sadness in her heart. It seemed that this gentle rain contained unwillingness and anger, ultimately transforming into a sigh.
While Mo Yongxing was inquiring Qin Yu on the high platform, she suddenly noticed a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. His face turned pale, and he seemed on the verge of collapsing.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing Mo Yongxing's words and seeing his cousin's condition, Zhang Hua hurriedly rushed towards the high platform. However, before he could reach there, a figure darted past him and quickly arrived on the platform, supporting Qin Yu. It was the security guard, Xiao Zhang.
"Master Qin, are you alright? Do you need to go inside and rest?" Meng Fengye walked over, expressing his concern.
"You must be exhausted. It's raining outside. Let's go inside to the lobby." Zhang Hua also advised from the side. They all thought that Qin Yu was simply tired. After all, opening the Dragon Gate was like a fantasy, and it must have consumed a great deal of Qin Yu's mental energy.
"Cough... Cough... No need. Keep watching." Qin Yu gave a grateful look to Xiao Zhang, his eyes continuing to gaze at the sky.
"I don't kill the innocent, yet the innocent dies because of me..." Qin Yu stared at the sky and uttered a cryptic statement that puzzled everyone.
Seeing the bewildered expressions of the others, Qin Yu sighed and explained, "When the hidden dragon soars successfully, it roams the four corners of the earth. When it fails, it transforms into a nourishing rain that benefits all living beings. And in the case of two dragons soaring, there will inevitably be a battle, and the loser will turn into the rain."
"And this time, it was the other hidden dragon in the Jingxiu District that failed. Today was supposed to be its day of soaring, but due to my manipulation of the divine mechanism, causing the two dragons to contend with each other, it lost in the battle and turned into the rain."
Qin Yu reached out his hand and caught the drizzle falling from the sky. As the drizzle touched his body, it felt like heavy drums pounding on the doors of his heart. His spiritual energy was damaged, and the backlash from the heavens was his karmic debt.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap. Silver serpents danced in the sky, and the resounding thunder unsettled everyone's minds.
"It's here!" The young man in the hotel suite revealed a gleam in his eyes and softly uttered these words.
"The third calamity has arrived!" The man in the black robe gazed up at the sky, his face filled with excitement.
At this moment, in many corners of Guangzhou, countless people raised their heads and stared at the sky with anticipation, their eyes shining as if waiting for something.
The thunder grew louder and louder, waking up numerous households, and the frequency of lightning strikes increased rapidly, with dozens of bolts simultaneously flashing across the sky.
This scene resembled an apocalyptic disaster from Hollywood movies, and many children were scared, seeking refuge in their parents' arms, crying loudly.
The spectacle of lightning and thunder lasted for a moment and abruptly ceased. Then, a torrential downpour followed.
"Ah, it failed again!"
"With the two dragons contending, consuming most of their energy, how could they possibly survive this third calamity?"
"Splurt!"
Sitting on the platform, Qin Yu witnessed the pouring rain and suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood. His complexion turned as white as paper, his body trembled, and although he attempted to speak, he couldn't utter a word before fainting.
"Qin Yu!"
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"
"Master Qin!"
...
"Cousin, how are you feeling? Are you better?"
Qin Yu lay on the hospital bed in a deluxe ward, flipping through a magazine out of boredom. Three days had passed since he collapsed that day.
"We were so frightened when you fainted. If you hadn't regained consciousness quickly, I would have called Auntie." Zhang Hua entered the room carrying a bag of fruits, followed by Tong Min.
Speaking of which, Zhang Hua's face still wore an expression of lingering fear. Suddenly, Qin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out. It scared everyone in the room. Fortunately, there was a medical room in Jingxiu District, and Meng Fengye called some doctors who explained that Qin Yu's condition was due to exhaustion, a sudden spike in blood pressure, and a series of unfortunate events that led to his loss of consciousness.
After the doctors provided emergency treatment, Qin Yu woke up immediately. However, Meng Fengye insisted that he be admitted to the hospital for recuperation. Meng Fengye even made a call and arranged for a deluxe ward in the city hospital for Qin Yu.
But honestly, this deluxe ward was almost like a five-star hotel suite. It had a bathroom, balcony, and even an office. The facilities were complete. If it weren't for the intravenous drip hanging from Qin Yu's hand, one wouldn't be able to tell it was a hospital room.
Actually, the deluxe ward in the municipal hospital is originally intended for privileged and wealthy individuals. Many company executives, even when they are hospitalized due to illness, have numerous matters to attend to. Therefore, the hospital sets up an office within the ward, which is convenient for these individuals. Of course, the price of the deluxe ward is significantly higher compared to a regular ward.
"By the way, cousin, you haven't told me why you fainted even though you seemed perfectly fine," Zhang Hua placed the fruits on the table and asked Qin Yu.
"It was just a backlash when I was casting a spell, a few days of rest and I'll be fine," Qin Yu casually brushed off the topic and redirected the question, "Did you inform my parents?"
"No, I'm going to tell Auntie about you fainting. My parents and grandma would definitely give me a hard time if they found out I didn't," Zhang Hua rolled his eyes, feeling that his cousin was definitely more favored than himself. If the family found out that his cousin had collapsed in Guangzhou, his dad might be the first to rush over and beat him up.
"Good, better not to mention it."
"Ring ring..."
Qin Yu's phone, placed on the bedside table, suddenly rang. He looked at the number and a smile appeared on his face. He turned to his cousin and Tong Min, saying, "I'll take this call. Miss Tong, please have a seat, cousin, why are you still standing there? Peel some fruit for Miss Tong."
After saying that, he took his phone and walked to the balcony, pressing the answer button.
"Hello, is this Qin Yu?"
A melodious and clear voice came through the speaker, and Qin Yu's expression softened upon hearing that voice. For the sake of Meng Yao, what harm would a little karma do?
"Yes, it's me," Qin Yu replied calmly.
