School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 620: Chapter 622: Witchcraft Chapter 620: Chapter 622: Witchcraft “Can you still save your life?” Liu Bin frowned.

“I survived only by my wit,” Xiao Han chuckled.

“Playing dead?” Liu Bin asked curiously.

Haha…

Zhang Feng and Zhang Dagou burst into laughter right away.

Xiao Han gave Liu Bin a look, then responded irritably, “What kind of question is that, do I look like someone who plays dead?”

“But you said the opponent was stronger than you,” Liu Bin chuckled, then added, “And the opponent is an assassin. Yet here you are, alive and well. Tell me, how could I not think along those lines?”

Xiao Han blinked, seeming to think there was nothing wrong with the statement.

“Anyway, I wasn’t playing dead,” Xiao Han retorted.

“Then tell me, how did you manage to come back alive?” Liu Bin asked with a smile.

“I… I defeated him,” Xiao Han replied.

“But you said his strength was greater than yours!” Liu Bin immediately countered, “If his strength was greater, how could you have beaten him? Are you making this up, just to highlight your prowess in escaping death?”

On hearing this, Xiao Han scoffed coldly, then said, “Nonsense, I merely scared him away.”

“A true assassin wouldn’t be easily scared off,” Liu Bin laughed and added, “I guess the person you met was just a low-level assassin. So, don’t worry. With your real strength, you can definitely defeat him.”

Everyone laughed.

If Xiao Han really had encountered an assassin, and a highly skilled one at that, it’s unlikely he would have been able to escape given his abilities. But since Xiao Han did escape, that implies the assassin wasn’t that competent, perhaps just a minor one, or a fake.

Thus, people didn’t really believe Xiao Han’s story.

But they also understood him quite well.

After all, having sustained serious injuries, he must find some reason or excuse. Otherwise, wouldn’t his image as a wise man be damaged?

“It’s good that nothing happened,” Liu Bin smiled from the side.

“Yes, yes, that’s great!” Zhang Feng quickly added, “Though injured, there’s basically no major issue, just a few days of rest and there should be no problem!”

“Right!” Xiao Han nodded.

…………

Xiao Han was fine, and the assassin had run away, which greatly infuriated Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian went to find Hei Tie.

In Hei Tie’s teahouse, the two sat face to face. Qin Xiaotian gritted his teeth; he had paid a million in advance, and now, to make matters worse, not only had the assassin failed, but he was about to explode with anger. However, Qin Xiaotian managed to suppress his rage.

“Hei Tie, didn’t you say the person was a Zhongnanhai bodyguard?” Qin Xiaotian ground his teeth and said, “Xiao Han is still not dead. Have we been deceived?”

Although angry, Qin Xiaotian still dared not speak too harshly to Hei Tie.

“Heh heh…” Hei Tie chuckled and then said, “How do you know it has failed?”

“Because Xiao Han is not dead!” Qin Xiaotian gritted his teeth.

“So what if he’s not dead?” Hei Tie frowned and said, “How can you be so sure that my man has already made a move?”

“Didn’t you say it would happen yesterday?” Qin Xiaotian, upon hearing this, suddenly got anxious, “Could it be that your man is that unreliable?”

Hei Tie was stunned for a moment, then after calculating with his fingers, seemed to find some logic. He thought for a bit and said, “Then let me make a phone call to check.”

After the phone call, Hei Tie was completely dumbfounded. Qin Xiaotian was indeed correct. The attempt had indeed failed. Hei Tie was astonished, staring at Qin Xiaotian speechless. He sighed and then said, “Alas, you’re right, it failed.”

“Damn it!” Qin Xiaotian burst out angrily, “It failed, and he still dares to take the million advance and run off?”

“Failure or not, the advance isn’t refunded!” Hei Tie shook his head and said, “Young Master Qin, please have a seat.”

Qin Xiaotian furrowed his brow and then said, “Motherfucker, Hei Tie, are we just going to let this go?”

“What do you propose?” Hei Tie frowned.

“I want to kill Xiao Han!” Qin Xiaotian said in frustration, “Is it really so difficult to kill a person? We’ve hired several groups already, and it’s unbelievable that none of them worked. Just how powerful is Xiao Han, really?”

“Of course!” Hei Tie nodded and said, “This kid really is formidable; I’ve witnessed his capabilities!”

“Am I just supposed to swallow this insult?” Qin Xiaotian gritted his teeth.

“I think…” Hei Tie squinted his eyes and said, “Since we can’t defeat Xiao Han head-on, perhaps we could outflank him. What do you think?”

“Hmm!” Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotian seemed to think it made sense and curiously asked, “Tell me, how do we do it?”

“Isn’t the other party very formidable?” Hei Tie chuckled, “We could use witchcraft to deal with him. Or maybe something like Taoist techniques!”

“Do you actually believe in this crap?” Qin Xiaotian almost cried when he heard this.

How helpless Xiao Han must feel, to have pushed Hei Tie to the point of resorting to witchcraft, he thought, amused. Qin Xiaotian stared at Hei Tie in disbelief. Hei Tie glanced at Qin Xiaotian and said, “Don’t you believe in these things?”

“Of course not!” Qin Xiaotian shook his head.

“Then let me show you something!” Having said that, Hei Tie immediately unlocked his phone and clicked on a video to show to Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian eagerly leaned in. In the video, a woman was cursed, appearing dazed and mad, and her forehead was incredibly dark, as if smeared with charcoal. It was disturbing to see.

After watching, Qin Xiaotian frowned and asked, “What… what’s going on here?”

“She’s been cursed!” Hei Tie spoke, “Clearly, she’s suffering from a curse related to witchcraft.”

“Really?” Qin Xiaotian was obviously shocked by the scene.

“Of course, it’s real!” Hei Tie immediately nodded and said, “Besides, why not hire someone to give it a try and see?”

“Yeah!” Qin Xiaotian nodded, “I find your reasoning very sound. After losing a million, losing a bit more doesn’t matter anymore, as long as we can kill Xiao Han, or cripple him, I am willing to spend a bit more money.”

Hei Tie took a deep breath and then said, “Alright, later I’ll find a wizard to give it a try. But first, we’ll use someone else to test his capabilities, if it indeed causes harm— heh, then I’ll believe it.”

“Yeah!” Qin Xiaotian nodded.

………..

Shuimu University.

Before they knew it, it was the end of June, and the school started organizing final exams on a large scale. Almost all the study spaces were utilized, and the students began to prepare for the finals busily.

The library, the cafeteria… these places which normally weren’t used for studying, had now completely turned into examination halls for the students.

Despite being a university, the scale of the exams indeed felt as intense as the national college entrance exams.

“Come on, it’s almost time for the exam,” Liu Bin hurriedly grabbed his books and ran out.

“Zhang Feng, let’s go too,” Xiao Han called out.

Zhang Feng was still deeply engrossed in his textbooks, studying seriously. Although confident, Zhang Feng aimed for high scores. For people like Zhang Feng, only hard work and perseverance daily could lead to good grades.

But Xiao Han was different. He possessed a strong brain and a photographic memory, which alone ensured his high scores. Hence, Xiao Han rarely read books or reviewed lessons on normal days, yet he was still confident of topping the class. As long as Xiao Han didn’t conceal his scores, first place was virtually guaranteed.

Moreover, in university, there was no need to hide one’s grades. Otherwise, how would people know that Xiao Han was once a top scholar in the national college entrance exam?

Xiao Han’s lips curled into a smile. He chuckled and then said, “Let’s go, let’s go, what’s the use of last-minute cramming?”

“Last-minute cramming won’t help much!” Zhang Feng retorted without enthusiasm. However, he still got up and followed Xiao Han out.

The two swiftly exited, Xiao Han’s lips still curled in a smile.

Their exam venue was in the university library. The tables there were all set up, and the students’ names and numbers were already pasted on the tables, with everyone patiently waiting.

When Xiao Han and Zhang Feng entered the examination room, everyone had already arrived, including the invigilators.

“Xiao Yu?” Xiao Han immediately spotted Lan Yudie sitting on a chair.

Lan Yudie playfully blinked at Xiao Han, seemingly saying, “Don’t even think about cheating, or see how I’ll deal with you!”

Xiao Han immediately laughed.

After taking their seats, the exam bell rang.

The invigilators began to distribute the question papers and answer sheets.

Soon, the exam was underway, and everyone buried their heads in earnest. Three invigilators were vigilantly overseeing the room.

Xiao Han glanced at the question paper; the questions were not difficult. Moreover, the topics were rather basic, nothing too complicated. Xiao Han scanned through once and immediately started answering.

In the one-and-a-half-hour exam, Xiao Han finished all the university mathematics questions in just forty minutes and filled out the answer sheet.

Whoosh…

Xiao Han stood up, then turned and walked towards the exit.

“Xiao Han!” Lan Yudie quickly called out to him.

“Teacher Lan, what’s the matter?” Xiao Han turned and looked at Lan Yudie.

“You…” Lan Yudie paused for a moment, then said, “Are you finished already?”

“Yeah!” Xiao Han nodded, “I’ve answered all the questions!”
