School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Okay!" Mo Shaocong nodded.

After giving the tickets to Mo Shaocong, the man turned and left.

Xiao Han seemed very amused, "Got them that easily?"

"Of course!" Mo Shaocong said proudly as he looked at Xiao Han, "Let's go, we should head inside too, everyone else is already going in."

"Let's go." Xiao Han nodded.

The two quickly entered the venue, which was packed with people. Deyun Club had two levels which combined could accommodate over a thousand spectators. The place was almost at full capacity. There were hardly any empty seats to be seen. Any empty ones were like Xiao Han and Mo Shaocong's - belated arrivals or those delayed by some matters.

Xiao Han's smile spread across his face as he grinned and said, "Wow, there really are a lot of people here!"

"Indeed, Old Guo's crosstalk is really popular!" Mo Shaocong chuckled.

"Yeah!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "He wasn't this popular before, but now with the fame, he's really caught everyone's attention."

"With popularity comes the ease to get carried away!" Mo Shaocong grinned and then added, "These past few years, Old Guo has gotten a bit carried away indeed."

"True!" Xiao Han nodded and commented, "This guy has had his share of negative press."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shaocong chuckled and then said, "Let's go!"

They walked forward, found their seats at the very front, and sat down.

"Xiao Han!" Suddenly, a voice called out.

Xiao Han turned around to see that it was Chen Xiaowu.

"Is it you?" Xiao Han looked at Chen Xiaowu in surprise.

"What a coincidence, you are also here to listen to Guo Degang's crosstalk?" Chen Xiaowu said, astonished.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

Smiling, Mo Shaocong added, "Yeah, I just got the news and came over. Such a coincidence indeed."

Accompanying Chen Xiaowu wasn't Wen Xiaobao, but a beautiful girl. Birds of a feather flock together, and just like Chen Xiaowu, so were her friends remarkably beautiful.

"It really is such a coincidence," Chen Xiaowu said, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Xiao Han inwardly cursed his luck, not expecting to run into Chen Xiaowu at a crosstalk show. He felt surprised and puzzled. However, upon seeing her, he had to greet her with a smile, unless he hadn't seen her, in which case there was nothing to be said.

The crosstalk show soon began.

The down-to-earth Guo Degang, with his partner Yu Qian, took to the stage. Their banter, learning, and singing had the audience in stitches, laughing so hard their jaws were nearly dislocated. Xiao Han was also laughing heartily.

Chen Xiaowu tried several times to strike up a conversation with Xiao Han, but he was too caught up in his own amusement to pay any attention to her. This left Chen Xiaowu feeling quite frustrated. Xiao Han was being terribly annoying by ignoring her.

When the show ended, an excited Chen Xiaowu said, "Xiao Han, shall we have dinner together afterwards?"

"Not this time, I still need to visit The Forbidden City," Xiao Han replied.

"What's so special there?" Chen Xiaowu quickly objected, "There are many more fun places in Beijing than The Forbidden City, why don't I... I can show you around. I'll definitely take you to the most authentic spots in Beijing."

"No need," Xiao Han shook his head, "I still want to go to The Forbidden City. After all, it is our nation's cultural treasure for thousands of years. Coming to Beijing, you definitely need to visit The Forbidden City."

"Alright then, I'll take you. I'll be your free tour guide," Chen Xiaowu giggled.

Xiao Han looked helplessly at Mo Shaocong.

Mo Shaocong shuddered slightly, then said awkwardly, "Xiao Wu, since you want to take Xiao Han, you go ahead. I happen to have some other matters to attend to!"

"Sure!" Chen Xiaowu laughed upon hearing this.

Just as Mo Shaocong was about to make his escape, Xiao Han grabbed his arm.

"Xiao Han, have a good time, Xiao Wu will definitely treat you warmly," Mo Shaocong chuckled, then added, "Trust me, Xiao Wu will make a qualified guide, certainly more so than me."

With that said, Mo Shaocong turned and left.

Watching Mo Shaocong's retreating figure, Xiao Han felt a lump in his throat.

Beside him, two beautiful girls looked at him as if waiting for his commands. Yet, Xiao Han's face resembled a bitter melon.

Outside the Deyun Club, many men's eyes swept over Chen Xiaowu and her friend and then glanced at Xiao Han with eyes full of disdain. Most men would probably be overjoyed with Chen Xiaowu's company, but Xiao Han looked utterly dissatisfied and even seemed to be complaining.

Xiao Han appeared extremely troubled.

Truthfully, it wasn't that he disliked Chen Xiaowu; on the contrary, any man would be fond of such a beautiful girl. However, Chen Xiaowu was Wen Xiaobao's girlfriend. If he had too much contact with her, it could lead to misunderstandings and he might end up in trouble. Hence, Xiao Han decided to keep his distance from Chen Xiaowu.

"Xiao Han, let's get going!" said Chen Xiaowu, enthusiastically reaching for Xiao Han's hand.

Xiao Han was startled and hurriedly pushed Chen Xiaowu's hand away, awkwardly saying, "Let's... let's go."

"Yingying, go bring the car around!" Chen Xiaowu quickly said.

"Okay!" Yingying immediately nodded.

Yingying obviously saw Chen Xiaowu just now grabbing Xiao Han's hand. Therefore, she was very curious, looking at Xiao Han. She didn't understand what exactly was the relationship between Chen Xiaowu and Xiao Han? Could it be that they are just friends? This indeed made Yingying a bit curious.

It wasn't long before Yingying drove the car over.

A fiery red Tesla sports car. Its appearance was very stylish and extremely dominant. The entire car looked incredibly cool. One could tell a lot about a person's character from their car. The owner of this vehicle must undoubtedly be someone wild at heart.

"Xiao Han, get in," Chen Xiaowu said with a smile.

Xiao Han reluctantly climbed into the car.

Once inside, Chen Xiaowu said with a smile, "Yingying, your car looks really cool."

"Hehe..." Yingying laughed, her hand covering her mouth as she said, "Just got it two months ago."

"Let's go; we're heading to The Forbidden City," Chen Xiaowu said.

"Sister Xiao Wu, The Forbidden City is so boring," Yingying pouted, "What's the point of going there? We might as well find a place to play games."

Yingying was a total gaming enthusiast, from League of Legends to Honor of Kings; she was highly skilled in all the current popular games. Besides, Yingying had many fellow gaming enthusiasts around her. There was no shortage of people like Chen Xiaowu. However, the level of Chen Xiaowu's gameplay wasn't that great.

The car sped all the way.

Don't be fooled by Yingying's gentle and cute exterior; inside her, there was a wild ambition that could not be suppressed. And this ambition was like a wild horse that had broken free and could erupt at any time.

At that moment, the speed of the car suddenly shot up, zooming forward. It was fast and incredibly rapid.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Han felt the strong pushback, which made him feel dizzy.

"Slow down!" Chen Xiaowu urged hastily.

Sitting in the back, Xiao Han carefully watched the front of the car; he was afraid the young girl might get into an accident. Fortunately, this girl's driving skills were decent. Several potential accidents were skillfully avoided.

When they arrived at The Forbidden City, the car parked in a nearby lot.

The three of them got out of the car, and Yingying flipped her flowing hair with pride, saying, "Sister Xiao Wu, how's my driving?"

"Not bad!" Chen Xiaowu nodded.

"Brother Han, what do you think?" Yingying asked with a smiley face.

"Pretty good," Chen Xiaowu immediately nodded.

"Hehe..." Yingying chuckled.

"Xiao Han, Yingying is actually a member of a racing club," Chen Xiaowu said with a smile: "This girl has even won a major domestic racing prize."

"Really?" Xiao Han looked at Yingying with surprise.

This young lady seemed frail and was the type with a baby face and huge... It was incredible that this seemingly weak girl was actually a cool race car driver; it was simply unbelievable.

Seeing Xiao Han's incredulous expression, Wan Yingying appeared even more proud.

"Let's go," Chen Xiaowu smiled.

Wan Yingying hurriedly ran to buy tickets; purchasing tickets for The Forbidden City required an ID card.

After buying the tickets, the group quickly went through the gate and entered The Forbidden City.

The grand architecture was very imposing. Entering from the Meridian Gate, you could see a straight path ahead, surrounded by an expansive area. The wide square was also very dominant. Xiao Han felt as if he could see ancient monarchs walking solemnly into their courts.

Chen Xiaowu cheerfully explained the history of The Forbidden City to Xiao Han, narrating everything about it.

Wan Yingying added a few comments here and there.

They continued walking from the Meridian Gate towards the inside, reaching the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was the most imposing hall within The Forbidden City because this is where the emperor held court.

Chen Xiaowu said earnestly, "The Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, is the essence of ancient Chinese palace architecture, one of the three great halls in the East. It is the largest existing wooden structure in China. Located in an important position on the central north-south axis of the Beijing Forbidden City, it was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle during the Ming Dynasty, originally named the Hall of Supreme Harmony. In the forty-first year of Jiajing, it was renamed Hall of Supreme Harmony, and in the second year of Shunzhi during the Qing Dynasty, it received its current name. After being built, it suffered multiple fires and was reconstructed several times; the current hall is the one rebuilt in the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi."

Xiao Han listened attentively, and Wan Yingying occasionally added to the explanation.

Chen Xiaowu continued, "The Hall of Supreme Harmony was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle and was originally named the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was renamed Hall of Supreme Harmony in the forty-first year of Jiajing. It was once again renamed during the second year of Shunzhi. Suffering from fires, it was rebuilt several times. With a double-eaved gable and hip roof on top, and sitting on a three-tiered white jade staircase, it features golden dragons and colorful paintings. The rooftop decorations include a set of ten 'immortal men and beasts.' The hall has eleven bays, all following the most prestigious design. It is one of the largest wooden frame buildings in existence. The plaque of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, inscribed with 'Jianji Suiyou' by Emperor Qianlong, is a replica today."
