Capítulo 20: Qin WenTian’s Bad Fortune/ TianZhu’s Bad Luck
(A/N: So I decided to continue my novel as you guys' wishes.)
Within the Province of the Nine Skies, far above the heavens, there exists nine galaxies of astral rivers . Each of these astral river is made up of the combination of countless constellations interwoven together . These nine galaxies can also be collectively known as the Nine Layers of Heaven .
Humans of this cultivation-oriented world advocate the importance of meditation as a method to sense the Yuan Qi of Heavens and Earth . From a young age, they would practice breathing techniques, to train the spiritual Qi in their bodies, and to increase their vitality – they would cultivate their martial techniques in order to eventually become a Martial Cultivator .
Those with exceedingly strong senses could, through mediation, sense the existences of the nine astral rivers . By absorbing the energy projected by the boundless array of stars, and after forming an innate link with any of the constellations, condense an Astral Soul, and become a revered Stellar Martial Cultivator.
Sky Harmony City, Bai Clan .
"Steel your heart, pain is but a passing thought . Relax yourself, imagine yourself to now be filled with beauty and vitality while soaring amidst the nine galaxies of the astral rivers – admiring the beauty of the countless stars, lost in an entrancing dream – and the pain shall slowly subside as you awaken . " The young handsome youth spoke as he guided the young lady to help her sense the heavenly layer.
This young handsome youth was Qin WenTian.
"Success" The young maiden suddenly opened her eyes as she spoke filled with joy. This girl's name was Autumn Snow, she was the fiancé of the young handsome guy.
"Which heavenly layer?" Qin WenTian looking at his fiancée, smiling as he asked.
"The 3rd Heavenly Layer." Autumn Snow also smiled, that smile was filled with resplendence, as it fully brought her beauty. This girl was the eldest daughter of the Bai Clan.
"Excellent sister, let's tell father" the young girl beside them smile as it seemed she was more excited than her sister. This little was Bai Qing, Autumn Snow's younger sister.
"There's no need for that." A middle aged man walked by . This was the father of Autumn Snow and Bai Qing, and his name is Bai Qingsong . Looking at Autumn Snow, his hands trembled slightly in excitement as he beamed, "Autumn Snow, you have suffered . "
"Daddy, if it wasn't for Wentian gege, elder sister might've been unable to be as successful in condensing her Astral Soul . " Bai Qing piped in, after which, Bai Qingsong turned his attention to Wentian and laughingly stated: "Wentian, thank you for today . You should rest early, me and Autumn Snow will make a move first . "
"Okay, uncle Bai . " Qin Wentian replied with a smile . Ever since both their clans decided on the marriage engagement three years ago, Bai Qingsong had frequently invited him to stay at the Bai residence, and had treated him very well .
This youth was somehow a little bit sad because his fiancé could sense the Heavenly Layer first, while he had the crippled meridian. But that didn't matter, because he believed in his Uncle Black.
Back then the one who the crippled his meridians was exactly his Uncle Black but that is of course because of an important reason, his Uncle didn't want him to absorb Heaven and Earth energy as it would result him to have difficulties in The Stella Martial Cultivation. So his uncle just told other people that he was born with crippled meridians instead.

"I heard that the eldest missus broke through and became a Stellar Martial Cultivator last night, I wonder if the marriage engagement will still hold . " A few voices, which belonged to the servants of the Bai Clan, were sneakily discussing as they watched Qin Wentian doing his running regime .
"Yeah, I heard that last night, Clan Master gathered all the elders for an urgent meeting, in order to disseminate the news throughout the city . Rumour has it that the Eldest Missus Autumn Snow has managed to form an innate link with a constellation from the 3rd Heavenly Layer! Even among the Stellar Martial Cultivators, she could be considered to be a peak-level genius . "
"Yup, I agree . Humans naturally have an Astral Gate within them that can be used to store an Astral Soul . But, if one has no talent, there's no way an Astral Soul will be condensed, and yet, the Eldest Missus could already sense the constellations from the 3rd Layer of Heavens . In the future, when she breaks through the 9th level of the Body Refinement Realm, and steps into the Arterial Circulation Realm, she can open yet another Astral Gate, which would then easily aid her in condensing her second Astral Soul . At the very least, it too should be condensed from the 3rd Layer of Heavens… That's just too terrifying… I don't dare imagine what level of power she'd have if she opened even more Astral Gates… . . "
"Not only that, an Astral Soul that's been condensed from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, contains an immense amount of energy when compared to Astral Souls that were condensed from the 1st Heavenly Layer . It really appears that that trash's position will soon disappear . "
What these servants didn't know was that their low voices had still been heard by Qin Wentian . Qin Wentian had mediated for many years, and thus his sensory abilities were extremely powerful – far beyond that of a normal human . He could even hear and differentiate minute variations in vocal tones . However, Qin Wentian didn't put the gossips whispered by these servants in his heart .
"Wentian . " A voice drifted closer, only for the silhouette of Bai Qingsong to appear . He looked at him before asking, "Jogging again?"
"En . " Qing Wentian nodded his head :"How's Autumn Snow, I wish to visit her . "
"Wentian, even if you're unable to cultivate, it doesn't matter . Don't be too hard on yourself . " Bai Qingsong didn't answer Qin Wentian's question, giving Qin Wentian a shock momentarily, before he calmed himself and replied: "I'll work harder . "
"You don't need to force yourself, in fact, being an ordinary human, setting up a family, and peacefully living one's life, is a rather good choice too . " Bai Qingsong continued saying, causing Qin Wentian to freeze up on the spot, after which, he glanced towards Bai Qingsong as he couldn't help but feel that he was talking to a stranger .
"Okay . " Qin Wentian forced a smile on his face before saying: "Uncle Bai, I'll be leaving first . "
"Okay, take note not to run around for these few days . " Bai Qingsong lightly intoned, and after Qin Wentian left, he didn't let Bai Qingsong nor Autumn Snow meet for two days, while the news about Autumn Snow condensing an Astral Soul spread across the entire Sky Harmony City .
When Day number three arrived, it was already morning by the time Qin Wentian had completed his meditation . As he strolled outside, he realised that there were two guards blocking his way . At this moment, his heart sank and his expression turned frosty before stating, "What do you all mean by this?"
"It's very chaotic outside . Young Master Qin had best peacefully stay here for the next few days . " One of the guards interjected back coldly, as Qin Wentian's heart continued sinking . Previously, everyone in the Bai Clan would greet him as Young Master-in-law respectfully, but now, this guard had actually dared to use such a cold tone of voice whilst speaking to him .
"It's better for Young Master Qin to mind your own business, and obediently stay inside your residence . "
"How dare you . " Qing Wentian excoriated: "I want to see Uncle Bai . "
Only to see that one of the guards burst out coldly laughing, glaring at Qin Wentian before saying :"Trash, I shall say it again, you better obediently stay in your residence . Did you really think that you were our Young Master-in-law?"
Qin Wentian's heart had sunk down to the bottom of the valley . He wasn't a dumb person, how could he not have guessed at what was happening? He was imprisoned now, and when he thought back to the words Uncle Bai had said to him a few nights before, he knew that the Bai Clan wanted to destroy this marriage engagement .
"Uncle Bai, if you want to to annul the marriage engagement, you could have directly spoken to me." Qin WenTian murmured in his heart, as he felt the rending of his heartstrings.
"Clan Master . " Outside the residence where Qin Wentian was imprisoned, a voice drifted over in addition to the sounds of many footsteps.
After which, he glanced at Bai Qingsong, before calmly saying, " Uncle Bai, what do you intend to do with me?"
"Qin Wentian, not only are you a heaven-born trash, your conduct is questionable too – to think that you have designs on my little daughter . You tell me, how should I deal with you?"
The current Bai Qingsong felt like a complete stranger to Qin Wentian . Qin Wentian only response was to laugh, as the last hope in his heart flickered out . Looking at Bai Qingsong, he asked :"I only want to know, regarding this, what was Autumn Snow's reaction?"
"You have no need to know . " Bai Qingsong coldly replied, as killing intent began emitting from him .
"Today, if I were to die in the Bai Clan, no matter what the reason was, I dare to guarantee this . My foster father would surely lead his army and trample the Bai's residence into a flatground . " Qin Wentian unexpectedly stated, with no fear in his eyes . In that instant, the previously gentle looking countenance of Qin Wentian, underwent a swift transformation into an expression exhibiting a steel-like determination .
"Uncle Bai, the Bai Clan still does not have the ability to contend against my Qin Clan, I urge you, you better not make a move against me . "
Shocked to his core, Bai Qingsong looked Qin Wentian in his eye . To think that this gentle looking youth still had such a ferocious side to him . After contemplating for some time, Bai Qingsong turned his back and departed . "Ensure that Qin WenTian doesn't step out of the entrance of this courtyard."
Little did he know that right now, a figure with a godly handsome appearance was observing him carefully. This guy was naturally TianZhu.
After a moment a sudden voice sounded in his head [ New Quest Found. Make Qin WenTian your disciple. Time limit : 3 days. Reward: None. Failure: Go to slumber for 1 week. ]
"Fucking shit, the reward is none and yet the failure is the fu*king long slumber that I hate the most. Damn, XiaoJin tell me- didn't I have infinite luck??? Yet, why the hell am I so unlucky to meet this bullshit quest?"TianZhu cursed the system and his bad luck loudly in his room alone.
[.... Sorry LaoDa, I have no idea either.]
"Tch, whatever I'll just show him my might and I'm sure it'll as easy as peel a ripe banana's skin." Still somewhat angry TianZhu.
