“What? Why do you ask this?” Song Shuhang wondered.

“Because I saw someone asking around for information on ‘Song Shuhang, a student of Jiangnan College’ in the school yesterday at noon. They’ve found out about your class, age, place of residence, and close friends. I felt something was wrong so I bore this in mind. By the way, I am a member of the school’s Department of Public Information.” Zhuge Yue smiled.

“Someone was probing into me?” Song Shuhang was stunned. He didn’t think he had offended anyone recently.

Medicine Master had told him that someone was following him. Maybe someone saw he stayed with Medicine Master, and so investigated about his background while at it. But, Medicine Master just came here this morning!

In addition, he had rescued the girl and beaten the bad boys yesterday evening. However, it happened yesterday evening, but these guys were asking about his information yesterday at noon!

Song Shuhang really didn’t have any clue in regards to this.

“Anyway, I suggest you’d better be careful nowadays. Maybe someone found you unpleasant to their eyes and is looking for a chance to beat you up. That’s all I know. I gotta go. Good luck to you.” Zhuge Yue smiled, patted Song Shuhang on the shoulder and left the dorm, humming a tune.

“Thank you.” Song Shuhang said.

He would not be afraid if someone was aiming at him. However, the guy was not only probing into him, but also looking into his relatives and friends.

It upset him.

Anyway… he’d better be careful in the upcoming days.

When Medicine Master came by, he would ask him if there was any way to find out who was investigating him. Senior Medicine Master seemed to have a lot of experience in counter-tracking.

❄️❄️❄️

Thinking of it, Song Shuhang went into the bedroom.

Gao Moumou still lay motionlessly like a dead dog, so Shuhang felt worried for him. “Gao Moumou, are you alright?”

“Shuhang, I was stained,” whispered Gao Moumou.

“It’s a very inappropriate word to use. You’re not a virgin girl from ancient times. Don’t speak like this.” Song Shuhang patted Gao Moumou and took the opportunity to ask, “By the way, is that Zhuge Yue a man?”

Gao Moumou’s face suddenly turned white. After a moment, he shook his head bitterly, “No.”

“So, is she a girl? Damn it! Why are you posing like a raped girl if you were just kissed by a girl? You know what? You are flaunting it! “Song Shuhang patted Gao Moumou hard. “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I will never tell your girlfriend about this. Just take it as an unexpected romance, alright? ”

However, Gao Moumou looked even more distraught, and he shook his head even harder.

“What do you mean by shaking your head? Is… is Zhuge Yue not a girl? Then what is she? Is she a bisexual or a transsexual?” Song Shuhang wondered.

“Neither… How should I put this? You won’t understand it.” Gao Moumou tilted his head, looking desperate.

This guy… was simply hopeless.

“Alright, keep lying then.” Song Shuhang patted Gao Moumou on the shoulder.

Then he went to the balcony and stared at the sky, humming a tune.

Oh, sending books with a flying sword! What it would be like?

❄️❄️❄️

After lying lifelessly for more than ten minutes, Gao Moumou got up with a numb face. He washed his face and asked, “Shuhang, Tubo said he would like to have a few drinks tonight, so he asked us to gather in Yangde’s apartment this evening. How about you? Are you free?”

Song Shuhang thought for a while and answered, “No problem, but I have a friend coming over to collect something soon. I might be late, and I’ll be there about six o ‘clock!”

“Then I’ll go there first, today… I’m gonna get drunk.” Gao Moumou looked very distressed.

“Forgetting about all your troubles by getting drunk?” Song Shuhang laughed.

Gao Moumou nodded, and pushed open the door of the dorm. “I gotta go, remember to come quickly.”

“Ok, no problem.”

❄️❄️❄️

Time passed.

Song Shuhang felt that he must look like a ‘Husband-Gazing Stone Statue’ ¹ , staring at the sky filled with anticipation.

About twenty minutes later, at 4:07 p.m.

Finally, he got a message from Medicine Master on his phone. “Little Friend Shuhang, the flying sword of Great Master Profound Principle is coming. I’m going to your dorm. Is anybody there?”

“No problem. My roommates are going out for a drink in the evening. Now it’s only me in the dorm.” Song Shuhang responded quickly.

“Wait for me. I’ll be there right away.” Medicine Master hung up the phone.

Two minutes later.

Medicine Master showed up beside Song Shuhang.

“Here I am!” he laughed.

“What shall we do?” Song Shuhang asked. “Or, do we just need to sit here and wait?”

“I’ll handle it.” Medicine Master went to the balcony, reached out with two fingers, and pointed them towards to the sky once again. The two fingers turned red and twinkled.

Staring at the sky, Song Shuhang found that a light flickered in the distant sky, and quickly flew towards the direction of Medicine Master.

Quite fast, the light was getting closer and closer—it was a sword-shaped object.

Oh, they just do it in the open? They don’t even cover it with some concealing spell?—Song Shuhang suddenly understood— In recent years, human beings often photographed UFO and other unidentified objects in the air. Were they actually the flying swords used by cultivators? Or, were they simply cultivators riding flying swords?

It’s dangerous for cultivators to do this. As technology develops, every country has ground-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft guns, and other stuff like that deployed. What if they get hit by these weapons?

The flying sword had fallen beside Medicine Master while Song Shuhang was still filled with wild thoughts.

It was a sharp black iron sword, hovering in the air over the reddened fingers of Medicine Master. Suspended in the air without any supporting force like this… it completely violated the physical rules of the world.

Song Shuhang was very calm. He had abandoned half of his physics knowledge that he learnt during the first eighteen years of his life since his worldview was completely shattered that day. If it weren’t for the fact that the laws of physics still applied in the mundane world, he would have completely thrown away everything, and not just one half.

“Well, where are these techniques?” Song Shuhang asked suddenly. As he imagined, there should be a big parcel that had many thread-bound books or hide scrolls inside attached onto the sword.

However, there was nothing attached to this black iron sword, nothing at all.

“Was it lost during the flight?” Song Shuhang wondered aloud.

“The techniques are here.” Medicine Master reached out and the little black iron sword fell steadily into his hands. Then, he plucked a thumb-long jade tube that looked like a jade thumb ring from the handle of the black iron sword.

A jade tube? When Song Shuhang saw the object, he blurted out the name of an object in his mind, “Technique Transmitting Jade Slip?”

It was also called a Heritage Jade Slip, a Skill Inheriting Jade Slip, or something like that.

This was one of the must-haves for heroes in Xianxia novels. By placing it onto one’s head, the techniques and other stuff recorded in it would be imprinted onto one’s mind! Even a fool could remember a whole technique with it!

“You’re thinking too much…” Medicine Master shrugged his shoulders. “A Technique Transmitting Jade Slip is precious, even priceless. It will only be used to record the most precious techniques that couldn’t be recorded with words. It’s not worth it to record common Foundation Establishment techniques like these with a Technique Transmitting Jade Slip.”

Only the most precious techniques containing the laws of heaven and earth and the principles of the Great Way, which couldn’t be recorded with words, and would be erased by the power of heaven and earth even if they were recorded with words forcefully, would need to be recorded with something as precious as ‘Technique Transmitting Jade Slip’.

“Then what’s this?” Song Shuhang asked.

“It’s just an ordinary USB flash drive. To be honest, mortal technology is getting more and more advanced, and many of the things they have invented are also very handy for cultivators. A small USB flash drive can contain the contents that used to fill a whole scripture library, and you can even add videos into it. It is really convenient.” Calmly, Medicine Master shattered the fantasies of Song Shuhang once again.

It hurts, mom! My liver hurts!
