School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 288 - 290: Ancestral Skill
Chapter 288: Chapter 290: Ancestral Skill
“Can you contact this student for me?” Director Zhang hurriedly said, “This student has a very cold demeanor and doesn’t seem easily persuaded by others. So, I really need your help with this.”
“Sure,” Chen Aiguo chuckled upon hearing this. “Old Zhang, I didn’t expect you to have such a deep appreciation for the arts, to be so accurate in judging people. Let me tell you, this kid really isn’t easy to talk to. He has an inherent arrogance. Heh, so it’s probably true that ordinary people can’t easily invite him. But, I can help you this time.”
“Hmm, okay,” Director Zhang nodded.
Chen Aiguo’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “This Xiao Han, he’s this year’s national college entrance examination top scorer, and also the first ever perfect score achiever in the history of the exam. So, he’s quite proud at heart.”
“I’ve heard,” Director Zhang nodded. As he was in charge of the Provincial TV Station, he was very clear about these matters.
After Xiao Han finished his performance, the applause thundered below the stage. Backstage too was filled with astonishment. It wasn’t that Xiao Han’s performance was so exquisite and flamboyant, but rather, Xiao Han had moved them with a beautiful Guzheng piece. It turns out traditionally Chinese arts are so enchanting, so captivating. A melody of Guzheng resonating for days without ending.
“Xiao Han…” Lan Yudie was moved to near tears by Xiao Han’s Guzheng piece.
Although she didn’t know the name of the Guzheng piece, Lan Yudie could feel the energy emanating from the music, which could touch people’s hearts and penetrate deep into their souls, stirring up hidden pains and worries.
Xiao Han walked out from the stage, his steps slow as he descended.
“Xiao Han, you were fantastic!”
“Xiao Han, you’re so amazing, when did you learn to play the Guzheng?”
“Can you teach me the Guzheng?”
Many girls swarmed over, surrounding Xiao Han. Xiao Han was dressed in ancient attire, seeming somewhat out of place, but he still smiled politely, saying, “Learning anything is not achieved in a single day, but requires accumulation over time. It takes effort, the persistence and perseverance of water wearing through a rock.”
Surrounded by girls, Xiao Han finally managed to extract himself.
Just coming out from the crowd of women, Lan Yudie quickly approached him, her excitement evident. “You little rascal, why didn’t you tell me you could play the Guzheng?”
“Teacher Lan, there’s so much I can do,” Xiao Han grinned, then said, “Do I have to tell you everything?”
“Of course!” Lan Yudie snorted lightly, then said, “You’re my student, naturally I need to know everything about you. If you don’t tell me, how can I keep up with you, understand what’s on your mind?”
“Well… actually, I have a family skill, I don’t know whether or not to tell you!” Xiao Han’s eyes gleamed mischievously as he leaned in close to Lan Yudie’s ear and whispered, “Moreover, this family skill is passed down internally, not externally, to males and not to females!”
“Oh?” Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han in surprise upon hearing this and asked, “What skill? There are still such ultimate techniques?”
“Of course!” Xiao Han’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Moreover, this skill can make one’s mind and body feel pleasant, allowing one to experience mental and even physical enjoyment.”
“More enjoyable than the Guzheng?” Lan Yudie was slightly surprised.
All along, Lan Yudie had felt that Xiao Han was mysterious, even somewhat strange. Therefore, she was very curious about him. Now that Xiao Han had said this, it immediately piqued her curiosity. Looking curiously at Xiao Han, she then asked, “More enjoyable than music?”
“Of course!” Xiao Han smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a mischievous gleam.
However, Lan Yudie felt it was a bit weird, but she never said it out loud. Instead, she smiled and then said, “Then… tell me about it!”
“Want to know?” Xiao Han squinted his eyes.
“Of course!” Lan Yudie nodded.
“Can I not tell you?” Xiao Han chuckled, his cheeks blushing shyly.
“Of course not!” Lan Yudie immediately grew anxious, looking coldly at Xiao Han, then said, “You can’t not tell me. Otherwise, I won’t let you off. Plus, I am your class teacher, if you don’t tell me, I’ll make sure you don’t get enough credits. Humph!”
“Uh…” Xiao Han, upon hearing this, was immediately dumbfounded. “But you’re a teacher; how can you threaten a student like that?”
“I like it, what can you do about it?” Lan Yudie snorted lightly, seemingly dissatisfied.

“I…” Xiao Han stammered.
“Are you going to tell me?” Lan Yudie glared at Xiao Han.
“Alright.” Xiao Han nodded and said, “I’ll tell, I’ll tell, isn’t that okay?”
“So spit it out!” Lan Yudie, hands on her hips, was undeniably gorgeous, even her anger looked mesmerizingly beautiful. It was captivating.
“Hehe, actually, the skill passed down in my family is…” Xiao Han whispered so softly, leaning close to Lan Yudie’s ear, “It’s the greatest project of mankind, the written form is called ***** commonly known as… love!!”
“You!” Lan Yudie’s face instantly turned red.
“There, I told you, you can’t say I didn’t!” Xiao Han hurriedly said, “You can’t say I didn’t warn you. I did tell you, it was you who insisted I tell you. You can’t blame me for this.”
“You!” Lan Yudie, suppressing her inner fury, then said, “Explain to me clearly how this skill became a family heirloom for you!”
“That’s right,” Xiao Han nodded and then said, “This has been passed down in my family, a continuous tradition of our human ancestors. Without this ability, how could humanity have continued? Without it, where would humanity be today?”
“Then tell me, how is this skill passed only to males and not to females?” Lan Yudie blocked Xiao Han’s path with her hands on her hips.
“It’s indeed a man’s capability,” Xiao Han stood taller, chest out, and scoffed, “Women don’t have this ability. Only men do. Haha… don’t overthink it.”
“You!” Lan Yudie was at a loss for words, as Xiao Han’s argument was watertight, leaving no room for refutation. She could only hold her breath, frustration bubbling inside her, seemingly fated to be endlessly bullied by Xiao Han.
Lan Yudie could only watch Xiao Han helplessly.
“Alright, I should get ready to leave,” Xiao Han said with a smile.
“Stop right there!” Lan Yudie blocked Xiao Han’s way. But Xiao Han deftly sidestepped her, slipping past Lan Yudie’s block. She could only watch as Xiao Han entered the backstage, stomping her foot in frustration. She decided to intercept him right there.
Xiao Han’s mouth curled into a sly smile as he had anticipated that Lan Yudie would wait for him by the door. So, after he had packed up, he simply left through the back door. There was a rarely used back door behind the stage. It took the responsible teacher a while to find the keys to the back door, which eventually allowed Xiao Han to leave through it. The teacher mumbled, “Strange, why not exit through the proper door and instead go through the back door? Why is that?”
Throughout the evening, Lan Yudie never saw Xiao Han again.
“Strange, where has this guy gone?” Lan Yudie frowned.
“Teacher Lan, aren’t you going back yet?” a nearby teacher asked curiously, “The show has ended.”
“Where’s Xiao Han?” Lan Yudie asked, puzzled, “How come I didn’t see him? That’s strange.”
“Xiao Han left a long time ago,” the teacher laughed, “He left through the back; I opened the door for him.”
“What?!” Lan Yudie gasped, stunned. She hadn’t expected Xiao Han to be so crafty, sneaking away, clearly on purpose to avoid her. She was even more upset, exclaiming furiously, “Scoundrel!”
After saying that, Lan Yudie stomped her foot and left.
Just as she reached the entrance of the auditorium.
“Teacher Lan!” Suddenly, a voice called out.
Lan Yudie turned her head, only to see Chen Aiguo waving at her from a distance, accompanied by Minister Liu from the Provincial Propaganda Department and Director Zhang from the Provincial TV Station. The three walked over, side by side. Lan Yudie hurriedly greeted them with a smile, “Principal Chen, what… what can I do for you?”
“Hmm,” Chen Aiguo nodded, saying, “I need you for a big matter.”
“What matter?” Lan Yudie asked, curious.
“This is the Deputy Minister of the Provincial Propaganda Department, and this is the Director of the Provincial TV Station.” Although Chen Aiguo was a university principal, he somewhat carried an official tone. He smiled and said, “This time, Director Zhang mentioned that Xiao Han’s performance could join the Provincial TV Station’s New Year’s Eve show, what do you think…”
“Really?” Lan Yudie, hearing this, was instantly overjoyed. She hadn’t expected Xiao Han’s performance to be chosen, this news delighted her even more than being on the program herself. Lan Yudie quickly said, “Actually, I also really like Xiao Han’s performance, it’s excellent, very original, and very creative. Director Zhang, you really have a good eye for seeing its potential.”
“Haha…” Director Zhang immediately laughed, “Don’t flatter me. I just want to promote our national essence.”
“Yes!” Lan Yudie nodded eagerly.
“Teacher Lan, can you help me with this?” Chen Aiguo asked with a smile.
“Principal Chen, I assure you the task will be completed!” Lan Yudie immediately nodded, “Xiao Han is my student, I will definitely be able to persuade him. I guarantee he’ll agree to your request to join the Provincial TV Station’s New Year’s Eve show.”
“Great!” Chen Aiguo quickly nodded.
Afterward, the officials left Shuimu University. Lan Yudie was exceptionally excited, seemingly forgetting her recent anger, and headed straight for the male dormitory.
