Shuhang and Sixteen Had Nowhere to Run

Of course, the idea of investing in the business of 'installing guardrails for flying swords' is just a thought... Shuhang won't actually go and do this business for the time being, as he doesn't even have the capital to invest yet.

"Sixteen, where is the store we're going to? Is it far?" Song Shuhang asked.

"It's a bit far, and walking would take quite a bit of time." Su Clan’s Sixteen put away her phone and sighed, "Before, I wanted to use Senior White's 'Whoosh-Whoosh Flying-Sword App' app to summon 'rental flying' swords so we could take Flying-Sword Taxi App to those shops. But now..."

Now, both of them have abandoned the idea of using the "Whoosh-Whoosh Flying-Sword App" app—what if, when they use this app to summon flying swords, Venerable White comes flying over again?

The five Confucian School disciples screaming in agony in the sky serve as a stark warning!

"Let's walk," Song Shuhang.

Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded. "That's what I think too."

Just as the two were talking, the 'golden roc' formed from the sword light of Venerable White flew over in the sky again.

Upon seeing Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen, Venerable White controlled his flying sword and once again landed straight beside Shuhang.

"Yo, Shuhang ~" Venerable White waved his hand and said.

"Haha, Senior White, you just completed another deal?" Song Shuhang asked. It only took a few words, maybe thirty seconds at most, and Venerable White had already completed a deal so easily?

At Venerable White's speed and efficiency, he could single-handedly handle all the [Whoosh-Whoosh Flying-Sword App] orders in the entire 'White Cloud City'!

Horrible!

"Yes, the place those five scholars were going to was very close. I just 'whooshed' my way there. And this 'Flying-Sword Taxi App' app is really interesting. I don't have to worry about payment at all; I can just use the online transfer function, and then I can pick up the 'Spirit Stone' at headquarters. This way, I even save time collecting the 'flying sword ride fee.' The time saved is enough for me to complete a transaction. It's fantastic," Venerable White replied.

Song Shuhang: 0_0!

This online money transfer function is practically aiding and abetting evil!

Song Shuhang silently mourned for three seconds in his heart for the advanced technology of 'White Cloud City'. It was truly a tragedy when advanced technology met the curious Venerable White.

"By the way, Shuhang, I saw you walking with Sixteen. Where are you headed?" Venerable White asked with a light laugh. "Since we're not busy right now, would you like me to give you a ride?"

"No need, no need, thank you Senior White. We're just browsing around, you just focus on your business," Song Shuhang quickly replied.

Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded vigorously as well, saying, "Yes, Senior White. Shuhang and I were just bored, so we were just strolling around White Cloud City and enjoying the scenery. You don't need to worry about us."

"Hmm, alright. Then call me whenever you need anything~ Oh dear, another order has come in. I'll go and finish this one first, lest someone else snatch it away. The competition in [White Cloud City] is fierce these days; sometimes, several cultivators are vying for the same order," Venerable White sighed.

Having said that, he once again mounted his sword and flew away in a flash...

"Goodbye, Senior White." Song Shuhang waved, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

For your safety and that of your life, please stay away from those Senior White engage in reckless driving.

It feels like for some time to come, the residents of White Cloud City will feel weak in the knees whenever they mention the 'Whoosh-Whoosh Flying-Sword App' app.

Hopefully, Senior White won't ruin the 'Whoosh-Whoosh Flying-Sword App' app for [White Cloud City].

Having escaped Senior White's calamity, Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen continued towards the shops.

Both of them possessed superior lightness skills, so even when traveling on foot, their speed was not slow.

Then, after walking for about three minutes, they ran into an acquaintance. It was Senior Northern River, who was coming out of a clothing store, carrying several pieces of clothing in his arms.

"Hey, Shuhang, Little Sixteen, you two are shopping?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator called out with a smile and a wave. He and Su Clan’s Seven were close friends, so he took extra care of Su Clan’s Sixteen.

Su Clan’s Sixteen replied obediently, "Greetings, Senior Northern River."

"Senior Northern River, what are you doing?" Song Shuhang looked curiously at the large pile of clothes in Northern River's Loose Cultivator's hands. Also, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Northern River's Loose Cultivator's aura seemed to have become even stronger.

"Haha, because of the upcoming plot, Director Jacob suggested that we buy some more props and costumes. I happened to have nothing better to do, so I took on this errand-running task," Northern River's Loose Cultivator explained, then sighed heavily, "However, I didn't expect [White Cloud City] to be so crowded, even flying swords have to be restricted. This is completely unexpected."

"I heard it's because the Confucian School triennial grand gathering is about to begin, so there are a lot of people," Song Shuhang replied.

Su Clan’s Sixteen suddenly spoke up and asked, "Senior Northern River, what was the number of the flying sword you drew when you came in?"

"The 'Government 998' flying sword is restricted today." Northern River's Loose Cultivator sighed and said, "I've also heard that as more and more fellow Daoists enter 'White Cloud City,' in a few days White Cloud City will implement a one-day restriction on the flying swords of 'Govern the State and Regulating the Order the Family,' and then a one-day restriction on the flying swords of 'Pacify All Under Heaven,' and so on. In this way, fellow Daoists who draw 'Govern the State and Order the Family' will have slightly worse luck than those who draw 'Pacify All Under Heaven.'"

"Haha," Song Shuhang comforted him, "But Senior Northern River, in a few days, we'll be leaving White Cloud Academy with the film crew. I doubt we'll live to see that day."

"That makes sense," Northern River's Loose Cultivator.

He first put these 'clothes' into his Heaven-and-Earth Bag, then asked, "Young friend Shuhang, Little Sixteen, where are you going?"

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, "Go to that shoe store called 'Bai Yun Yi Yi' up ahead. I saw a pair of shoes that came with a 'Levitation Technique' function, which allows you to float in the air for a short time. The effect is quite good."

"What a coincidence, we're going the same way. I also need to go to that commercial district to buy a few things," Northern River's Loose Cultivator said with a smile. "Shall we go together?"

Northern River's Loose Cultivator wanted to give Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen a ride since they were going the same way.

Shuhang and Sixteen nodded and said, "Okay."

The three of them traveled together...

Throughout the journey, Northern River's Loose Cultivator kept his head down, playing with his phone.

"Senior Northern River, what are you looking at?" Song Shuhang asked casually, just to start a conversation.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator chuckled, shook his phone, and said proudly, "When I entered 'White Cloud City,' I drew a 'Heal'-themed Flying Sword Number Barcode, so I downloaded an app called 'Whoosh-Whoosh Flying-Sword App.' This app is great. Just enter your destination, and a 'Flying-Sword Taxi App' will come to take you there in minutes. You can even pay directly through the app. It would be wonderful if it could be promoted throughout the entire Cultivation World!"

Northern River's Loose Cultivator highly praised this software.

Su Clan’s Sixteen: "..."

Song Shuhang's eyes widened. "Senior Northern River, you didn't already place an order, did you?"

"Of course, I've been working on this for so long. Oh, someone's already accepted the order." Northern River's Loose Cultivator laughed heartily, "[Tian 888] has accepted the order and is on its way. This number is really auspicious; the cultivator who drew this number must be Fortune person. Young friend Song, Little Sixteen, let's hitch a ride, I'll give you a ride."

Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen turned pale.

A strange feeling of "inescapable doom" welled up in their hearts—they had escaped once, they had escaped twice, but in the end, they had still fallen into the hands of Venerable White?

"Shouldn't we still have time to escape?" Song Shuhang asked anxiously.

"Too late..." Su Clan’s Sixteen sighed.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator looked puzzled, not understanding why the two of them had such 'life is meaningless' expressions.

Just then, with a whoosh, Venerable White's flying sword flashed in the sky and landed in front of Northern River's Loose Cultivator.

"Hey, Sixteen, Shuhang, what brings you two here again?" Venerable White waved his hand, then turned to look at Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "Eh? Fellow Daoist Northern River? What a coincidence, were you the one who placed the order just now?"

"What a coincidence? [Tian 888] is Senior White?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator, at the same time he already understood the reason for Shuhang and Sixteen's 'lifeless face' - Tian 888 is Senior White, and Senior White is actually doing the business of 'Flying-Sword Taxi App'.

More importantly, Senior White flew over at a speed that was... slightly fast.

No, this is beyond just "slightly fast"; it's downright brutally fast.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator felt that riding on Venerable White's flying sword would be too exciting, and his heart and liver wouldn't be able to handle it.

So, find an excuse to refuse?

Before Northern River's Loose Cultivator could answer, Venerable White flicked his sleeve and rolled him onto his flying sword—a move that Senior White was very skilled at.

In the forty-odd minutes after Song Shuhang fell unconscious, how many cultivators did Venerable White use this technique to pull onto his flying sword, to become so proficient?

"The destination is near 'White Cloud Lingering Shoe Shop'? Northern River, sit tight! Oh, and remember to give me a five-star service review later." Venerable White said earnestly.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator immediately looked utterly hopeless.

Below, Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen secretly breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed that Venerable White believed that the 'guest' was only Senior Northern River.

They escaped death once again!

Song Shuhang waved enthusiastically to Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "Goodbye, Senior Northern River."

Better to die than to die, Northern River!

Northern River's Loose Cultivator looked at Shuhang —why didn't the Venerable White pull Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen onto the flying sword?

Haha, how could my little friend Shuhang miss something so interesting?

It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, young friend Shuhang and little Sixteen also wanted to go to that shoe store earlier. Would you mind giving them a ride?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator asked earnestly.

"Oh? Young friend Shuhang and Sixteen want to go too? Alright, I'll give you a ride. Let's go!" said Venerable White.

The next moment, the two of them were already engulfed on the flying sword.
