Chapter 1: Ancient Blue

Regardless of whether that young girl is a master at the sixth level of Qi, just relying on Miss Xu's backing, Young Master Seven would not dare to touch her. Otherwise, if the matter escalates, Young Master Seven would certainly face a reprimand, and if things go poorly, he might even end up being punished.

The young girl noticed the man's gaze and playfully stuck out her tongue, saying, "It has nothing to do with me; it was the young lady who instructed me to do this." After speaking, she jogged over to the archway beside the courtyard and came to a stop in front of a tall woman with a slender waist and a green sword hanging at her side.

As the man looked up, his gaze fell upon a lively and charming young girl, seemingly around seventeen or eighteen years old

Troubled by this ongoing problem for three years, the man furrowed his brow slightly, gazing at the countless gravitational equations of stars etched on the ground, while his mind calculated at an extraordinarily terrifying speed.

Just as the man was completely immersed in the calculations of these data, the patterns and formulas written before him were suddenly swept away by a gleaming sword. The originally neat formulas became chaotic, yet the calculation results were clear, all vanishing under the strokes of this sword.

Even the most learned scholars of the Great Qi Dynasty, upon arriving at this place and seeing the patterns that cover the entire courtyard, would likely conclude that these are mere trifles drawn by a bored individual. This is because both the patterns in the sand and the accompanying inscriptions are not from the Great Qi Dynasty, nor have they ever appeared on this continent. It seems to be making its debut in the world, bearing an inscrutable profundity and mystery that no one can comprehend, revealing its existence to the learned scholars of the various nations on the continent.

The man sketched for a moment in the courtyard, but suddenly took a few steps forward and added a few strokes to a pattern that was some distance away from him at mhetushu.com

So what? The marquis has twelve sons and six daughters. Although the seventh young master is ordinary, the eldest and second young masters are exceptionally outstanding. The other young masters are also young talents. With these young masters here, they will surely be able to carry forward the glory of our marquisate

A gardener nearby immediately interjected, "A smile in return? I think it's to please that Miss Xu! Moreover, what else could he do if he doesn't smile? Does he dare to take action against her? That maid is not only Miss Xu's personal maid, but she is also a master who has cultivated to the sixth level of Qi and has condensed her true energy. Does the Seventh Young Master dare to provoke that girl?"

Miss Xu is indeed the daughter of the Xu family, renowned in our Tiandu City, well-known to every household. If it is said that she is a master of the seventh level of Qi Path, I believe it! However, to say that the young girl also...

This matter is evidently not a secret in the capital of Da Qi; as soon as he spoke, someone immediately echoed his words

In a secluded and tranquil courtyard, a young man who appears to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old is holding a slender twig in one hand, continuously drawing arcs on the sandy ground. Accompanying the arcs are numerous circular spheres and countless numerical formulas.

What does it matter how well the Seventh Young Master performs? Miss Xu does not truly like him! If it weren't for the fact that she was confused and angered by the Second Prince at the time, leading her to hastily choose someone to marry in her fury, how could such an enviable matter possibly involve the Seventh Young Master? Given Miss Xu's beauty, temperament, reputation, family background, and capabilities, there are very few noblewomen in the entire Da Qi Dynasty who can compare with her. The young talents pursuing and admiring her could be directly eliminated from our Marquis's residence in Tiandu City.

Upon seeing this, the woman was about to scold a few words, but seemingly recalling her own status, she restrained herself and said softly: "I believe with your abilities, aside from lingering around this courtyard and drawing these things all day, you won't be able to stir up anything else. Therefore, you may as well continue to stay here." After saying this, she left the place, having never even stepped into the courtyard from beginning to end.

That is... not more than Young Master Qishi by one, nor less than Young Master Shaoqi by one...

I wish that if the Seventh Young Master could attain at least the sixth level of Qi cultivation or possess some special skill, the Marquis would be very satisfied. At that time, he could casually assign some tasks, and it would not be the case that he remains at home, idle and looked down upon by others, even his own wife.

The man known as Guqing chuckled softly, nodded at the girl who had disrupted his formula, and said nothing. He continued to stand there, lost in thought about the question he had just been unable to solve.

Indeed, although that girl carries a precious sword and exudes an imposing presence, her delicate and fragile appearance makes it easy for me to topple her. How could she possibly be a master at the sixth level of Qi cultivation?

Indeed, the Second Prince and Miss Xu are the true embodiment of a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made in heaven with their talents and beauty complementing each other. It is a pity that while the fallen flowers have intentions, the flowing water is indifferent... It is truly lamentable that the Second Prince has abandoned Miss Xu for Princess Qingping.

Once "Shenzuki" goes out of control and is unable to gather the stellar power of the five-star alignment, he will not be able to leave this star again for at least several decades

The servant who had spoken earlier could not help but let out a suppressed exclamation upon hearing the news: "That girl? She looks so petite and delicate, yet she is actually a master at the sixth level of Qi Path. You must be joking."

At this point, several subordinates nodded in deep agreement.

A few servants, seeing the middle-aged man speak sternly, did not dare to say more at that moment. One by one, they responded with a few acknowledgments and hurried back to their respective positions to resume their work

The alignment of the nine stars, the power of nine overlapping celestial bodies... The man raised his head, gazing at the sky that had not yet been completely shrouded in darkness, his gaze fixed upon a single star. Even though the night had not fully descended, the brilliant light of that star remained captivating and dazzling.

After that woman left, a servant who had been observing everything from a short distance began to mutter softly: "Young Master Qi is truly kind to Miss Xu; this is already the fifth time this month! I saw Young Master Qi busy all day today, just to create these things, and they were ruined by that little maid of Xu Xiaolin. He didn't even get angry; Young Master is really tolerant towards Miss Xu..."

"Xiaolin, do not pay him any mind!" After speaking, the woman glanced at the man once more, her fair and delicate face revealing a hint of coldness: "Gu Qing, three days from now is His Majesty the Emperor's fiftieth birthday. At that time, ministers and nobles from all over will flock to the capital, among them some exceptionally talented individuals in the realm of Qi cultivation. If there is nothing pressing, you should stay in the courtyard and refrain from wandering about aimlessly. If you provoke someone you cannot afford to offend, I will not take responsibility for you."

I believe our Seventh Young Master is quite commendable; not only does he lack the bad temper often associated with noble young masters, but he also never makes things difficult for us servants. In fact, just now, after his hard work of an entire day was ruined, he still smiled at Miss Xu's maid.

I spent three years calculating the orbits of countless stars, relying on the balance of gravitational forces between the stars to guide the asteroid "Shenyue," which has a diameter of two hundred kilometers, into the sky above the stars... If I cannot calculate the fifth planet that can harness stellar power within six hundred and eighty-two days, "Shenyue" will enter the gravitational orbit of the Qinglong Star and become its satellite. At that time... with the stellar power I cultivated through the second level of "Xingchenyin," it will be impossible to correct the orbit of "Shenyue".

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man nearby quickly approached and shouted sternly: "Shut up, the matters of the masters are not for you few lowly servants to discuss. If the steward hears this, be careful of receiving dozens of lashes and being expelled from the palace! Hurry up and get to work!"

The gardener saw the crowd become agitated due to his words, seemingly filled with a sense of accomplishment: "Not only is that girl at the sixth level of Qi Path, but Miss Xu is also said to be a master at the seventh level of Qi Path who has opened her meridians; otherwise, how could she have such a hold over the Seventh Young Master?"

At this point, although the man's face, which cannot be considered handsome, displayed a certain charm, a hint of contemplation appeared: "Two stars overlapping, even with the addition of the natal star and the current star, there are only four stars in total, and the emitted stellar energy fluctuations do not meet the minimum standard to leave this star... Three years ago, I fell from Earth onto this giant star, but it was only possible due to the rare occurrence of the nine-star alignment that happens once in a century..."

Indeed, the Seventh Young Master spends his days drawing these peculiar things, and he has been doing so for nearly three years, completely neglecting the aspects of military strategy and literature. It is no wonder that the Marquis does not think highly of the Seventh Young Master! Our Great Qi Dynasty is founded on martial prowess, and personal strength almost signifies one's identity and status within the empire! As the seventh son of the Marquis of Wuwei, the Seventh Young Master actually neglects martial arts, failing to study the various martial arts manuals collected by the marquisate, such as swordsmanship and weapon techniques, and instead becomes infatuated with these... childish scribbles. It is truly...

According to the law, the gravitational force between objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them and directly proportional to the product of their masses... Positive particles correspond to antiparticles... Hmm? The orbital path of the Eastern "Qinglong" star is still normal, which means that in seven hundred and ninety-one days, it will indeed overlap with the sub-star "Yinglong" star, thereby causing tidal effects on the star I am currently standing on... The orbital path of the Eastern "Qinglong" star is still normal, which means that in seven hundred and ninety-one days, it will indeed overlap with the sub-star "Yinglong" star, thereby causing tidal effects on the star I am currently standing on...

If there are issues with the light variation period, then there must be a certain discrepancy in the breadth. Now that we have clear data on luminosity and brightness, the calculated distance should theoretically be accurate. However, the distance derived from this formula does not establish a usable connection with the 'Qinglong' star. Temporarily harnessing the power of this star remains a challenging task.

Seeing her fiancé nodding at her, the somewhat awkward young woman leaned closer to the tall figure beside her and said, "Miss, every time the fiancé looks at me like that, I can't help but wonder if he has all these matters on his mind."

Upon noticing the man's gaze directed towards her, the woman maintained her composure, her tone slightly indifferent as if stating the most ordinary of matters: "I recall having told you that every time I see you carelessly scribbling these tedious things, I have the right to have them destroyed once."

However, it seems that the other party was so absorbed in their thoughts that they did not respond to her words at all.
