School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 260: Chapter 299: The School Beauty’s Dilemma

Xuan Tianji stroked his silver-white beard, his face full of mystery, and pinched his fingers, saying, ”As your master, I’m versed in astronomy above and geography below, skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and can discern all matters of this world with a single calculation.”

Chen Nan was stunned for a moment, ”You can calculate even this?”

Seeing Chen Nan’s surprised expression, the old man became even more proud, ”Of course! I just told you, there isn’t anything your master cannot calculate.”

”Since you’re so good at calculating, then did you already know that Yiyi was at Fire Qilin Mountain?” Chen Nan’s face was full of indignation as he shouted, ”Why didn’t you tell me from the start!? I’ve been searching for so long, what kind of master does this make you?”

The old man sighed, ”My child, you are my disciple, how could I harm you? You must believe in your master.”

”Believe my ass!”

Chen Nan, looking dejected, stared at the old man and demanded, ”When I first came down the mountain more than a month ago, you told me that I had already mastered all your skills, but I’ve never heard you mention this divination technique before. Did you teach me that?”

”This... this... this...”

”What ’this’?” Chen Nan’s eyes widened, ”Old man, just how much stuff haven’t you taught me?”

The old man suddenly became sheepish, ”My good disciple, you must believe in your master, I’ve always treated you like my own son. This divination technique is like the ribs of a chicken: complicated, tiresome, and not very useful. You’re better off not learning it.”

Chen Nan stepped closer, ”Aside from this divination technique, is there anything else you haven’t taught me?”

”Nothing, absolutely nothing!” the old man swore, ”Think about it, all these years, has your master ever deceived you? You should trust that your master’s character is the greatest in the world, and he would never deceive you.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan became even more frustrated.

”You still have the nerve to say that! When I was fourteen, you snuck into Widow Wang’s house to steal her underwear. When you were caught, you framed me for it. At fifteen, you dragged me down the mountain to peep at Widow Zhang taking a bath, and when we were discovered, you pushed me out as the scapegoat. When I was sixteen, you...”

”Stop, stop, stop!”

His secrets exposed, the old man hastily interrupted, ”My disciple, truly I didn’t foresee the matter of Yiyi at Fire Qilin Mountain. The terrain of Fire Qilin Mountain is peculiar, repelling all arts of Qimen Dunjia, not just me but even if a great deity descended, they wouldn’t be able to calculate it!

”Really?”

”As true as a pearl!”

Chen Nan’s face was full of disbelief, fixing his eyes on the old man, ”Then can you tell me why, eight years ago, you sent Yiyi down the mountain?”

”Well...” The old man shook his head, ”Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed.”

Chen Nan nodded, raised a finger with a ring on it, and said, ”Not going to talk, huh? Fine, then I’ll chop off this finger, throw away this crappy ring, and die rather than be the Crown Prince of the Sky Team.”

The old man looked disdainful, ”Go ahead and chop, I want to see if you’re a real man!”

Chen Nan was immediately stumped.

Chopping off his own finger was truly something foolish he couldn’t bring himself to do.

”Old man, you’re ruthless!”

Chen Nan flipped him off and then headed toward the school’s interior.

”Remember, when there’s a mission, I will send the subordinates of Sky Team to find you.” The old man’s laughter echoed from behind.

”Find my ass, old man you listen to me, I’m going to spread the word about you visiting prostitutes, and let the whole world know!” Chen Nan muttered angrily, his heart couldn’t be more annoyed.

Watching Chen Nan’s retreating back, the old man smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, ”You stubborn boy, the future fate of our Huaxia Nation depends on you and your fellow disciples, you’ll understand your master’s bitter intentions one day.”

...

I had exams all day yesterday, and today there are three more exams to go.

When Chen Nan walked into the examination classroom, Huo Xinya hadn’t arrived yet, while Han Yuting, who was sitting behind him, looked somewhat gloomy.

She managed a smile and greeted Chen Nan before burying her head back in her books.

Although Chen Nan felt she was troubled, since their relationship wasn’t that close, he didn’t inquire further.

Soon, the first exam began, which was a math test. For Chen Nan, these problems were as incomprehensible as yesterday’s chemistry exam. He recognized the Chinese characters and the Arabic numerals, but he just couldn’t understand the meaning of the questions.

Especially some bizarre symbols, he had never seen them before.

Staring at the exam paper for a good while, Chen Nan concluded with three words—don’t know how.

And the outcome of not knowing how, of course, was also three words—submit a blank.

Aside from randomly filling in some multiple-choice questions, Chen Nan didn’t attempt any problem, so he laid his head down on the desk and slept soundly, causing both Han Yuting behind him and Huo Xinya nearby to frown, wondering if this guy was born in the year of the pig; all he knew was how to sleep.

After the first exam ended, it was already the time for the usual second-period break, and all the students headed to the playground for a break exercise.

As for Chen Nan, right after the exam ended, he was pulled out of the classroom by Su Qingqing, who continuously asked him about how he spent the night at Yun Fei’s house yesterday, and whether anything inappropriate had occurred.

Regarding this serious issue, Chen Nan naturally omitted what should be omitted and explained in detail about sleeping on the floor.

At this moment in the classroom, after everyone had left, there was still one person who hadn’t left, and that was Han Yuting.

With a distressed look on her face, she stared at the textbook on the desk, deep in thought.

”Yu Ting, I’m here.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and a rather burly boy walked in from the classroom’s front door. It was none other than Xiao Jianren, one of the Four School Bullies, who Chen Nan had beaten until he was searching the floor for his teeth.

With her head lowered, Han Yuting said, ”Please call me by my full name.”

Xiao Jianren’s expression chilled slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, staring at Han Yuting with a lecherous grin, ”Yu Ting, don’t test my patience. My patience has its limits. Have you made up your mind?”

With a look of grievance, Han Yuting kept her head down and stared at her book, saying nothing.

Xiao Jianren furrowed his brow and said, ”Your father is a compulsive gambler and now owes five hundred thousand in usurious loans. That’s no small amount. However, my family is never short of money. Just become my girlfriend, and I can give you five hundred thousand to pay off the debt immediately. How about it?”

Han Yuting bit her lip and continued to stare at the book, still saying nothing.

”You should know that the people who lend money at high interest are powerful. I heard that tomorrow is the final deadline. If you can’t produce the five hundred thousand, by those people’s rules, they will likely either sell you or throw your father into the river to feed the fish. Now, only I can help you. Just agree to me!”

Xiao Jianren, although not diligent in his studies, knew well the principle of coercion and temptation.

Sure enough, a look of terror appeared on Han Yuting’s face: ”Then... if I agree, will you demand that I give myself to you?”

”Have you agreed?”

Xiao Jianren, with excitement on his face, lunged forward, attempting to grab Han Yuting’s hand but sadly, she dodged away.

Han Yuting shrank to the side, ”Answer my question first.”

”Do you even need to ask? If you don’t give yourself to me, what use do I have for you as a girlfriend? Just for decoration?” Xiao Jianren shamelessly said, without feeling any disgust.

He originally wanted to pursue Huo Xinya, but due to Chen Nan, an unbeatable rival, he had to switch targets. Just a few days ago, he overheard from his underlings that Han Yuting’s family was in poor condition, her father having accumulated several hundred thousand in usurious debts, and the deadline to pay back was rapidly approaching.

Han Yuting was a school beauty on the same level as Huo Xinya!

Hearing this, Xiao Jianren was extremely excited, so he shifted his focus from Huo Xinya to Han Yuting.

Han Yuting kept shaking her head, feeling utterly unwilling.

She did not want to let someone she despised tarnish her purity.

But thinking about her father’s five hundred thousand in high-interest debt, she felt a sense of powerlessness. As a vulnerable woman, where could she gather five hundred thousand? Should she really submit to Xiao Jianren?

”Don’t act all noble with me. If you don’t agree before school ends today, it will be useless to beg me later. Think about it yourself!”

Xiao Jianren snorted coldly, dropped a sentence, and turned to leave.

In his heart, he viciously thought: I’ll contact those creditors later and have them go to your house today for the debt, see if you dare not come begging to me, you little wench!

Han Yuting could no longer hold back the bitterness in her heart. Tears fell, wetting the books on the desk, as she sobbed into her desk.

...

By the time the other students returned to the classroom, Han Yuting had already stopped crying and buried her head in her books.

Although her eyes were on the book, her mind was on other matters.

Chen Nan returned to the classroom and glanced at Han Yuting sitting behind him. He initially didn’t want to speak, but seeing her gloomy appearance, he couldn’t help himself and asked, ”What’s wrong? Why are your eyes so red?”

Tears still circled in Han Yuting’s eyes. She shook her head and smiled lightly, ”It’s nothing. You better keep revising; we still have physics test coming up!”

Since she did not want to talk, Chen Nan did not press further, smiled, and turned away.

In this physics exam, Chen Nan did not understand a thing, predictably submitting a blank paper.

”Ah, the ancient sages were right, heroes submit blank papers, and the brave score zero.”

After the exam, Chen Nan sighed deeply, then was promptly dragged by Su Qingqing who had been waiting outside the classroom. They ran towards the cafeteria.

Watching the retreating figures of Chen Nan and Su Qingqing, Huo Xinya frowned deeply.

Everyone thought they were cousins, but Huo Xinya knew clearly, Su Qingqing sticking to Chen Nan was not due to sibling affection, but because she harbored feelings for him.

Now, with Jiang Xiaomi liking him and Su Qingqing liking him as well, and herself also feeling a little stirred, what would he do when his sister returned healed after some time?

”This guy really is something, attracting girls everywhere!”

A bit annoyed, Huo Xinya stamped her foot. With a sour heart and a worried frown, she followed them towards the cafeteria.
