Chapter 727: Unable to escape their fate
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Of course, this idea about opening a shop to install railing on flying swords was just a random thought that flashed through Song Shuhang’s mind. For the time being, he wasn’t really planning to open a business here… after all, he currently didn’t even have the money to open one!
“Sixteen, which shop do you want to visit? Is it far?” Song Shuhang asked.
“It’s a bit far, and it will take us some time if we walk there on foot.” Su Clan’s Sixteen put away her phone and sighed with emotion, saying, “At first, I was even thinking of using that ‘Whizzing Flying Sword App’ Senior White mentioned to call a flying sword over and visit several shops, but now…”
But now, the two of them had decided that they would by no means use the ‘Whizzing Flying Sword App’! What would they do if Venerable White whizzed over after they called a flying sword with the Whizzing Flying Sword App?
The screams of the five young scholars were still echoing in the sky. As such, they couldn’t make the same mistake!
“Let’s go on foot,” Song Shuhang said.
“I was thinking the same,” Su Clan’s Sixteen said with a nod.
Just as the two of them were discussing, in the sky, Venerable White’s golden roc-shaped sword light whizzed back.
After seeing Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen, Venerable White controlled his flying sword and landed once again next to them.
Venerable White waved his hand, and said, “Oh, Shuhang~”
“Ahaha, Senior White. Did you just complete another course?” Song Shuhang asked. While he and Su Clan’s Sixteen were discussing, only thirty seconds had pa.s.sed. Venerable White had completed one course in such a short amount of time?
Given Venerable White’s speed and efficiency, he could himself take care of all the fares in the White Cloud City issued through the Whizzing Flying Sword App!
That was truly scary!
“The place where those five scholars wanted to go was rather close. As such, I quickly whizzed them to their destination. In addition, the back-end system of this ‘rental flying sword’ app is very impressive, and one doesn’t have to worry about the payment, either. The app uses an online wiring system, and one can withdraw the acc.u.mulated spirit stones from the general headquarters whenever they have the time. Thanks to that, even the time that would be needed to make payment was saved. This allowed me to complete another course in the meantime. Truly excellent,” Venerable White replied.
Song Shuhang: ?
This online wiring system was only helping Senior White do more damage!
Song Shuhang quietly observed a three-second silence for the black technology of the White Cloud City. Now that the black technology had chanced upon Venerable White and his infinite curiosity, a tragedy would soon take place.
“Right. Shuhang, you and Sixteen are actually traveling on foot? Where are you guys planning to go?” Venerable White said with a smile. “It just happens that I don’t have any fare to take care of at this time. Do you want me to give you a ride?”
“Thanks for your concern, but there is no need, Senior White. We were just strolling around the streets, and that’s it. Therefore, you can fully concentrate on your fares,” Song Shuhang quickly said.
Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded repeatedly, and said, “Senior White, Shuhang and I were a bit bored, and thus decided to stroll through the White Cloud City and look at the scenery. You don’t need to worry about us.”
Venerable White sighed with emotion, and said, “Hmm, I see. However, if you need a ride, don’t hesitate to call me~ Oh! Here it is, another fare. In that case, I will go to complete it so as to avoid someone else stealing it from me. There is a fierce compet.i.tion in the White Cloud City at this time. Sometimes, you have several cultivators fighting to get their hands on a single fare.”
After he had said this much, he controlled his flying sword, and whizzed toward a distant place…
“Senior White, see you later~” Song Shuhang waved his hand, and also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
For one’s safety, it was better to stay away from Senior White while he was in racing mode.
According to his estimations, the limbs of the residents of the White Cloud City would immediately become soft whenever the Whizzing Flying Sword App was mentioned in the future.
Hopefully, Senior White wouldn’t play with the ‘Whizzing Flying Sword App’ of the White Cloud City until it broke!

After escaping from Senior White’s clutches, Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen kept heading toward the shops they were interested in.
Both of them possessed first-cla.s.s movement techniques. As such, even though they were traveling on foot, their speed wasn’t slow.
Then, after walking for around three minutes, they met an acquaintance. It was Northern River’s Loose Cultivator. He had just come out of a clothing store, and had several bags full of clothes with him.
“Oh, Shuhang, Little Sixteen, you guys are also strolling around the streets!” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator smiled and waved his hand. He was a good friend of Su Clan’s Seven. Therefore, he really cared about Su Clan’s Sixteen.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said in a cute voice, “Senior Northern River, h.e.l.lo.”
“Senior Northern River, what are you doing?” Song Shuhang curiously glanced at the bags full of clothes that Northern River’s Loose Cultivator was holding in his hands. Perhaps it was just his misconception, but he also felt as though Northern River’s aura had become even more profound.
“Ahaha, it’s for the next scene of the movie. Director Jacob suggested buying some more stage props and clothing. Then, since I had nothing better to do, I decided to complete this task,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator explained. After he had said this much, he sighed deeply, and said, “But, I didn’t expect that there would be so many people in the White Cloud City, to the point that restrictions were applied even to the usage of flying swords. That was really unexpected!”
“From what we heard, there are so many people because the grand ceremony that the scholars hold every three years is about to start,” Song Shuhang replied.
Su Clan’s Sixteen suddenly asked, “Senior Northern River, what’s the flying sword code you got after entering the city?”
“[Govern998], which happens to be banned today.” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator sighed, and continued, “In addition, I have heard that the White Cloud City will implement a new system in a few days due to the increasing number of people entering the city. The flying swords with the codes starting with [Govern, Country, Manage, and Family] and those starting with [Bring, Peace, and World] will be banned every other day. Therefore, the fellow daoists that got the codes starting with [Govern, Country, Manage, and Family] had slightly worse luck than the other group.”
“Ahaha.” Song Shuhang comforted him, “However, it’s likely that we and the movie crew will have left the White Cloud Academy already by that time. Therefore, it’s hardly going to concern us.”
“You are right about that,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said.
