âHuh? Why are you asking me this?â Song Shuhang was bewildered.
âBecause yesterday afternoon I saw someone going all around the school to acquire information regarding student Song Shuhang. Your class, age, residence and information regarding people close to you have all been more or less acquired. As I felt that there was something strange going on, I took note of this happening. By the way, Iâm a member of the schoolâs news club.â Zhuge Yue smiled sweetly.
âThereâs someone investigating me?â Song Shuhang was stunned, he didnât seem to remember having offended anyone recently?
Medicine Master did say that someone was following them, perhaps that person saw him together with Medicine Master, and decided to gather information on him as well. But Medicine Master just arrived this morning!
Also, yesterday evening he beat up a few hoodlums to act as a hero saving a beauty. But that was yesterday evening, it had zero relation to yesterday afternoon!
Song Shuhang truly couldnât wrap his head around what was going on.
âAnyway, I feel that you should be more careful for the next few days. Maybe someone is going to ambush you somewhere. Thatâs all I have to say, I have other matters to attend to, fingers crossed.â Zhuge Yue giggled, patted Song Shuhang on the shoulder, then hummed while leaving the dormitory.
âThanks.â Song Shuhang replied.
If they ambushed him, he wouldnât be afraid, but the opposite party did not just investigate information on him, they also investigated his close friends.
This made him feel uneasy.
In any caseâŠâŠ better to be careful during this period.
Later, when Medicine Master gets here, I should ask him if he has a way of investigating who this person is. Medicine Master seems to be very experienced when it comes to getting rid of people following him.

Thinking that way, Song Shuhang entered the bedroom.
Gao Moumou remained motionless while lying on the bed like a dead dog, so Shuhang worriedly asked, âGao Moumou, are you alright?â
âShuhang, Iâve been tainted.â Gao Moumou murmured.
âThe phrase tainted doesnât seem adequate, itâs not like youâre a beautiful flowery maiden from ancient times, donât use such a disgusting description.â Song Shuhang patted Gao Moumou, then took the chance to inquire, âBy the way, is Zhuge Yue a male?â
Gao Moumouâs face immediately paled, quite a while passed, then he shook his head in an agonized manner, âNo.â
âSo itâs a girl? Can you go kill yourself!? What are you pretending to look like a broken toy from being kissed by a girl for? What youâre doing is showing off, donât you know that!â Song Shuhang patted Gao Moumou with force, âDonât worry, my mouth is sealed. I definitely wonât let your girlfriend know what happened today, wouldnât everything be alright if you just thought of this as being lucky with women?â
However, Gao Moumouâs expression turned for the worse, he shook his head with even greater difficulty.
âWhat does shaking your head mean? Could it be that⊠Zhuge Yue isnât a girl? Which is it then, Zhuge Yue canât possibly be a dual-gendered ladyboy, right?â Song Shuhang was puzzled.
âNone of themâŠâŠ. How should I put this, you guys wonât understand this matter.â Gao Moumou slanted his head, with a face like he would be loveless in this life.
This fella is incurable.
âAlright, you can continue lying down like a corpse.â Song Shuhang patted Gao Moumou.
Then he hummed a song and walked to the balcony, with his gaze set on the skies.
I wonder what the flying sword book transfer will be like.
âŠâŠ
âŠâŠ
Gao Moumou maintained that look of being neither dead nor alive for over ten minutes before getting up from the bed and washing his face. He asked Shuhang, âShuhang, Tubo says he wants go out for a few drinks, and asked us to go gather at Yangdeâs place tonight. Are you free?â
Song Shuhang thought for a while, then replied, âNo problem, but I have a friend coming over to collect something later, so I might come a little late. Iâll go over around 6pm or so!â
âThen Iâll go over first, todayâŠâŠ I want to get dead drunk.â Gao Moumou sullenly said.
âDrinking away all your sorrows?â Song Shuhang said with a smile.
Gao Moumou nodded, then opened the dormitoryâs door, âIâll go on first, try to come early.â
âOkay, sure thing.â
ïŒïŒïŒïŒïŒïŒïŒïŒïŒïŒ
Time trickled past.
Song Shuhang felt that he definitely looked like the âAmah Rockâ in Hong Kong as he fixed his gaze at the sky, his heart filled with anticipation.
Approximately twenty minutes later, at 4:07PM in the afternoon.
There was finally contact from Medicine Master, Shuhang picked up the phone, âLittle friend Shuhang, Great Master Tong Xuanâs flying sword book transfer is about to arrive, Iâll come over to your place now, is there anyone else there?â
âNo problem, my roommates have all gone out tonight to drink, Iâm the only one left in the dormitory.â Song Shuhang quickly answered.
âHold on, Iâll be there in a jiffy.â Medicine Master hung up the phone.
Two minutes later.
Medicine Master was already by Song Shuhangâs side.
âItâs here!â He laughed out loud.
âDo we need to do anything?â Song Shuhang asked, âOr can we just sit here and wait for it to come?â
âWatch me.â Medicine Master once again walked into the balcony, then once again pointed his fingers towards the sky, his two fingers turned scarlet red, flashing.
Song Shuhang stared at the sky, and saw a light flicker up in the air, speedily flying towards Medicine Master.
The light drew closer and closer at great speeds; the shape could vaguely be made out to be that of a sword.
âMaking a flying sword book transfer so brazenly, is there no need for an illusion magic or something for protection?â Song Shuhang suddenly comprehended something in his heart. In recent years, people often took photos of things like UFOs, anomalies in the sky and such, could it be that thatâs the cultivatorsâ flying sword book transfer or even them flying on a sword?
Thatâs very dangerous for the cultivators, nowadays technology is getting more and more advanced, there are things like anti-aircraft defense, missiles for aircrafts and others in every country. What if they get struck by something like a anti-aircraft missile?
As Song Shuhang daydreamed, that flying sword had already descended to Medicine Masterâs side.
It was a sharp, black, metal shortsword that was quietly floating above Medicine Masterâs flushed fingers. It was suspended in the air without the aid of any force, this by itself had already gone against the rules of physics in this world.
Song Shuhang remained unperturbed. From the day his worldview had collapsed and burned, he had thrown away half of the knowledge of physics he gained throughout his eighteen years in the world. If it wasnât because the rules of physics was still applicable in the mortal world, he wouldâve thrown the other half into the trash as well.
âHuh? Whereâs the secret books?â Song Shuhang suddenly asked. He thought that a large bundle would be tied to the flying sword, with many string-bound books or beast-skin scrolls inside.
But this black metal shortsword in front of him didnât carry anything along with it, it was empty.
âCould it be that it was lost while flying over?â Song Shuhang thought in his heart.
âThe secret books are right here.â Medicine Master stretched his hand, and the black metal short sword steady fell into his hands. Then he plucked off a thumb sized jade tube from the back of the swordâs handle, it looked a little like a jade thumb ring.
A ring shaped thing made of jade? When he saw this, A name immediately surfaced in Song Shuhangâs mind, he blurted out: âTechnique Transferring Jade Slip?â
It was also called Inheritance Jade Slip, Skill Jade Slip and others.
This is one of the things an MC has to acquire, once he sticks it to his forehead, the martial techniques, mental cultivation techniques and others would be imprinted into the personâs brain! Even an idiot would be able to remember the whole technique!
âYouâre thinking too muchâŠâŠâ Medicine Master shrugged: âSomething like a technique transferring jade slip is incredibly precious, it in itself is a priceless treasure. It would only be used to record those peerless techniques that âcannot be recorded in wordsâ. An ordinary foundation building technique like this would be nowhere near worth recording with a Technique Transferring Jade Slip.â
Only those peerless techniques that contain the laws of heaven and earth and the meaning of great Daos cannot be recorded down in words. Even if it was forcibly recorded into words, it would be erased by the power of the great Dao between heaven and earth. That is when something like the âTechnique Transferring Jade Slipâ would be necessary.
âWhat is that then?â Song Shuhang inquired.
âThis is just an ordinary thumb drive. To be honest, the technology of humans have advanced, the things invented are useful for us cultivators as well. A small thumb drive could contain the contents of a whole rack of scriptures. It could even have images added into it, itâs really incredibly convenient.â Medicine Master once again shattered Song Shuhangâs delusions in a calm manner.
