You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: You Are The One I’ve Chosen

Far in Northeast China, Su Qin’an of the Daojian Sect was also awake.

Logically, since he cultivated immortality, insomnia should be impossible, but today he was experiencing it…

So he stealthily snuck into Lingchu Pavilion’s…

Hall.

Although it was his girlfriend’s home, he still needed to be cautious.

After all, she… was not yet an adult, what if something happened?

As a result, upon entering, he found Xie Yingqing’s room lights were still on.

Wasn’t this convenient?

He was preparing to sleep, moonlight entered the room, and he happily got up. Missing someone to enjoy it with, he went to Lingchu Pavilion to find Xie Yingqing, and Ying Qing was also awake…

Xie Yingqing was currently wearing a pure white dress, her beautiful hair untied, loosely draped behind her, making her appear even more languid.

Following the principle of “since I’m here,” Su Qin’an gently walked behind Xie Yingqing, patted her left shoulder, and stood to her right.

“Huh? It’s Qin’an, you? In the middle of the night, you ran to my place… missed me? ”

Xie Yingqing looked somewhat sleepy, but seeing Su Qin’an, she became energetic again, speaking in a slightly soft tone, smiling and saying.

“I couldn’t sleep, so I came to find you. ” Su Qin’an touched Xie Yingqing’s hair: “Why does it feel so good? What brand of shampoo do you use? ”

“What shampoo? Couldn’t it be that I was born with a unique bone structure? ” Xie Yingqing stood up and took Su Qin’an’s hand: “Come on, let’s go to the rooftop! ”

“Go to the rooftop to do what? ”

“Relax! Always cultivating, isn’t it tiring! ”

Yes, Ying Qing was also awake, and they watched the stars together on the rooftop.

The rooftop of Lingchu Pavilion was slanted; the two people cast a spell to clean it and lay down directly.

The Daojian Sect’s small world had secret technique enhancements, allowing the people inside to see the distant starry sky through the thick atmosphere and dust.

Countless stars shone in the sky, with a silvery expanse of stars in the center, illuminating the Daojian Sect, illuminating Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an.

“You couldn’t sleep late at night, is there something on your mind? ” Xie Yingqing suddenly took Su Qin’an’s hand, interlacing their fingers: “What’s wrong, tell me? ”

Su Qin’an nodded, looking at the starry sky: “I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt heart palpitations tonight. ”

Xie Yingqing squeezed his hand: “What? Afraid I’ll leave you? ”

“You won’t. ” Su Qin’an turned his head, looking at Xie Yingqing’s profile: “Why would you leave? But this feeling scares me, as if there’s a sharp sword hanging above my head, I don’t know when it will fall. ”

“Have you been doing something lately, hiding it from me and Master? ” Xie Yingqing suddenly turned her head, looking into Su Qin’an’s eyes: “Did you cause trouble? ”

Su Qin’an smiled: “You know me so well! ”

“So you really caused trouble? ” Xie Yingqing worriedly asked: “What kind of trouble? ”

“What trouble, I didn’t cause any trouble! ” Su Qin’an smiled: “It’s just…”

It’s just that he inadvertently cooperated with the Chinese Authorities.

Xie Yingqing was arguably his closest person, so besides the System and classified information, Su Qin’an basically told her everything. As for what he couldn’t say, he simply made excuses.

For example, when Xie Yingqing asked him where he got his Hacker Technology, he said that once he went out traveling and fell off a cliff, and accidentally picked up a Secret Manual…

And when Xie Yingqing asked him about the Nanolithography Machine Technology, he said that once he went out to play, he accidentally fell off a cliff again, and accidentally met an Old Man…

Xie Yingqing: …People fall off a cliff and pick up Arcane Arts, you pick up Nanolithography Machine Technology?

But she didn’t ask further. After all, even couples need to give each other some private space!

“So…”

Xie Yingqing suddenly remembered something: “That Qing’an, is that you? ”

Su Qin’an smiled: “Yes, do you like it? ”

He was referring to the name.

“Yes. ”

Xie Yingqing nodded slightly: “So what are you worried about? ”

“I just feel that my contact with the Chinese Authorities, is it a violation of the Cultivation World’s Rules? ” Su Qin’an said: “After all, isn’t there a rule that cultivators should not interfere with mortal affairs? ”

“Well… why wouldn’t it be? ” Xie Yingqing was silent for a moment, then said: “But you’re not the first, over the years, which Sect hasn’t done this? It’s just that everyone tacitly understands it. ”

“And with that technology, it’s useless if you keep it to yourself, right? It’s better to give it to China! After all, even if we are cultivators, we are China’s cultivators! ”

Su Qin’an pulled Xie Yingqing into his arms, looking at Xie Yingqing’s bright eyes, he gently hugged her: “You’re so right! ”

Their generation and the older generation have many differences.

Although they both contact the Mortal Realm, they are clearly more deeply influenced by the Mortal Realm.

If it were Yin Wanshan, he would absolutely not say “we are China’s cultivators,” at most he would consider China his Cultivation Grounds.

Xie Yingqing’s face turned slightly red, then she said something Su Qin’an would never forget.

“You can rest assured to do everything you want to do. I will always support you. Even if everyone disapproves of you, at least, you are the person I, Xie Yingqing, have chosen. ”

What Xie Yingqing didn’t say was, even if you really violate the Cultivation World’s Rules, so what? I will always support you! If I don’t stand by you, who will?

To put it bluntly, those cold, Rules that have been secretly violated countless times, how could they compare to her Su Qin’an?

Of course, she and Su Qin’an were both shy, they couldn’t say anything too intimate…

“Yingqing…”

“Alright, are you still looking at the stars? If not, go back to sleep! ”

That night, Su Qin’an slept particularly soundly.

Even the initial inexplicable heart palpitations were gone.

The next day, the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology gathered all the top scientific researchers.

Liu Qiming’s first thing this morning was to notify the entire Ministry of Science and Technology to assemble at seven o’clock, saying he had something good.

This caused many people to leave their warm beds at 6:30, as if they had returned to the miserable days of high school.

But after seeing Liu Qiming, everyone swallowed their tempers.

“Come, look at this document, this is the reason for our meeting. ”

Liu Qiming distributed the document he had typed up at some point.

《One-Nanometer Nanolithography Machine Manufacturing Technology》.

“This…”

An old man, after seeing the title of the document, trembled: “This is…”

“Read it before you say anything. ”

Ten minutes later, the conference hall erupted.

“Genius! There’s actually such an idea! ”

“Our previous thinking has been wrong all along? Impossible! ”

“But you know, this thing looks quite likely to succeed…”

“Everyone, what do you think? ” Liu Qiming asked: “Any questions? ”

Actually, there shouldn’t be any questions. Although the document was novel, the contents were unexpected yet reasonable, and there were no new concepts, so it was not difficult to understand.

“Minister, this is… your masterpiece? ”

“The Minister actually has such an idea! Truly a veteran! ”

“Minister…”

“Stop, stop, stop! ” Liu Qiming quickly interrupted: “I didn’t do it. ”

“Not you? ” The elderly man in front was stunned: “Then…”

“Who did it doesn’t matter, I have my channels. ” Liu Qiming said: “Can it be done? If it can, start today, and it must show results within six months! ”

“Absolutely! ” Someone excitedly said: “It doesn’t need six months, at most three months, it can definitely be done! This thing is too detailed! ”

“Then, now, everyone get to work! All holidays in the next three months are cancelled, postponed to later! ”

“Hey? No way! Really three months? Ah?! Minister, don’t go! ”

“Old Zhang! You old rascal! ”
