“Jealousy is not something she should even think about. If I were her, I wouldn’t even have the face to stand here. I would definitely find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out again.”

"Unfortunately, you are not her, and you can never be her."

Chen Hua's voice came from outside, startling the girls.

"What are you doing? Did we say something wrong? It's her who's fantasizing. With someone like her, how could Qi Yi, the school heartthrob, possibly like her? Only she's still going after him."

"Ha! Is that so? If you ask me, Qi Yi doesn't even have the right to be mentioned alongside her. The reason you say that is because you're jealous of her, right? I think you're right. You should have some self-awareness. Before you talk about others, take a look at yourself first."

The girl blushed at his words and wanted to retort, but she was frightened by his gaze.

Even though he was wearing glasses, the girls were still terrified and quickly walked away.

Shen Hua hurriedly walked out. At this moment, no one knew what they were saying, but Qi Yi went over and was about to slap Shang Wenwen.

Just as Shen Hua's hand was about to land on Shang Wenwen's face, he caught it and quickly slapped Shang Wenwen's hand back.

The whole sequence of events happened so fast that by the time everyone reacted, all they saw was Shang Wenwen still standing there unharmed, with someone standing next to her. Qi Yi had been slapped several steps away, just like when he had pushed Shang Wenwen away at the beginning.

Blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth as he looked this way.

Shang Wenwen looked at Chen Hua with some surprise.

"Aren't you stupid? You just stood there and let yourself get hit."

"No, it's very powerful. I was suppressed, so I wouldn't stand there and let people hit me."

For some reason, Shang Wenwen complained like a wronged child at that moment.

Seeing Chen Hua standing in front of her, she felt a lump in her throat and softly called out, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Chen Hua: ...

She silently changed it to "Master" in her heart.

"Alright, I'm here to help you. From now on, you should cultivate diligently and not let anyone bully you anymore."

Shang Wenwen nodded obediently.

They were fine on their side, but things weren't going well on the other side, especially for Qi Yitao, Meng, and the onlookers.

Shang Jiajia also looked at Chen Hua in surprise. This girl next to Shang Wenwen was so amazing.

She still needed to know how powerful Qi Yi was. He was exceptionally intelligent from a young age and was groomed as an heir, yet Shen Hua managed to defeat him so decisively.

However, she dismissed the idea, believing that Qi Yi still had feelings for Shang Wenwen, which was why he deliberately gave them a way out. Otherwise, how could Shen Hua have driven him away?

Tao Meng had already helped Qi Yi up, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at Chen Hua.

"Keep your eyes away. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist looking at me with those eyes."

Shen Hua gave her a sharp look, which startled Tao Meng so much that she quickly looked away. Just a moment ago, she felt as if death had gripped her life, and she became even more wary of Shen Hua.

The way Shen Hua looked at her made her feel like she had no secrets at all, as if Shen Hua had seen right through her.

"Oh! And you, don't take yourself too seriously. Our Wenwen isn't your toy. Also, keep an eye on your people. If I find out about this again, I don't think you want to know what will happen to them."

After Shen Hua finished speaking, she left with Shang Wenwen.

Shang Wenwen is now looking at Chen Hua with starry eyes, just like Xi Yi often looks at her.

"Chen Hua, you were so cool just now."

Clearly, it wasn't just Shang Wenwen who thought so; those who were present and took photos also felt the same way.

Holding the photo and thinking about what just happened, I felt so excited, I wished I were Shang Wenwen.

Shen Hua didn't say anything. She wanted to act obedient, and she could at least cover up the little bit of her true self that was showing.

Although it might lead to speculation, how could she stand by and watch her apprentice be bullied? She wanted others to know that her apprentice was also protected.

"Yeah, you'll be cool too. Hurry back to your dorm and get ready for class. You can't let unworthy people treat you badly anymore."

Shang Wenwen nodded, then went back to her dorm to wash up. When she saw the little pony that Xiyi had given her and learned the whole story, she was moved for a while, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Shen Hua hadn't been teaching for long when the principal called her to his office.

Qi Yi has quite a lot of power. Normally, he wouldn't be called to the principal's office for anything that happened, but this time, she was called in right after hitting Qi Yi.

Clearly, that's what she thought, and that's what the other students thought too, but the principal didn't think that way.

He saw the school forum, and since he had previously guessed Shen Hua's identity incorrectly, he didn't act like a country bumpkin like the other students, and instead showed a smug smile.

When Shen Hua arrived at the office, she saw the principal grinning foolishly.

What favors did Qi Yi receive from the principal to make someone laugh like this?

"Ahem, Principal, is there something you need from me?"

The principal quickly stopped smiling and looked at Shen Hua with a righteous expression, saying, "Shen Hua, the matter I asked you to come here about is nothing serious, so don't worry!"

He worried that Shen Xiang, like the other students on the school forum, would assume he was standing up for Qi Yi, so he quickly explained.

Chen Hua: ...

She sensed that the principal was acting strangely. Every time she came to see him, he always looked like he didn't want to see her. Why was he comforting her this time?

Something's not right, something's not right.

"Principal, just tell me what you need me for! The way you're saying it makes me nervous even though I'm not nervous at all."

headmaster:……

"Ahem, well, it's like this, in a few days some foreign students will be coming to our country for an exchange program, and I've decided to let you and Xie Sichen go. Do you want to go?"

Chen Hua: ...

They've already said they've decided she'll go, and then asked her if she wanted to go. Does that mean they can stop her from going just because she says she doesn't want to?

"Principal, I..."

"Actually, it's not something I can decide. Your going was assigned by higher-ups. Even the principal can't do anything about it, Shen Hua."

Chen Hua: ...

"Principal, alright then! Let's go have a friendly spar. You'll be disappointed if it doesn't work out."

"How could I be disappointed? I'm overjoyed. If you need anything during this time, feel free to contact me, and I'll do my best to help you."

Shen Hua nodded and said, "Principal, is there anything else?"

Principal: "I do have something to ask you. I'd like to buy a magical artifact from you. Do you have any suitable magical artifacts for sale?"

Selling paintings is a skill that Chen Hua excels at.

"Principal, what kind of item do you want? Let me see if we have any."

Upon hearing this, the principal immediately perked up, realizing that the implication was more than one thing, and that he had indeed made the right judgment on the person.

"A defensive one? I'm not in a hurry. Do you have any?"

Shen Hua thought about it and realized that there really was some, but the price was really hard to negotiate. The main reason was that the principal and Officer Liu were friends, so did the principal have that much money?

It seems that the communication mentioned before can be done via text message, so the principal's purpose in calling me here is probably not to buy a ritual implement, is it?
