He, as the principal, has no say in matters outside of school. But he has to take care of the students' affairs.

He said in a deep voice, "And your Liu family, I heard before that you wanted to make Liu Yanhong drop out of school and marry a man in his sixties? Is that true?"

"This...this...well..." Liu Chong stammered, as if the question was difficult to answer, and later he even turned to look at Zhao's father and mother.

With a displeased expression, Zhao's mother asked, "Why are you looking at us?" The mention of this matter reminded her of the nasty things Liu Yanhong had said about Zhao Zhu, which made her very angry again.

Liu Chong could only give an awkward smile, his face turning pale.

Suddenly, Aunt Liu cried out, "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, could you please talk to Mr. Yan..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Chong interrupted her in a muffled voice.

Upon seeing the situation, the principal guessed, "You weren't really forced to make this decision, were you? What Liu Yanhong said before jumping off the building... was it all true?" He then looked at Zhao's parents with some shock.

Zhao's mother said, "In my opinion, Xiao Yan is just trying to scare you. He won't really force you to marry off your daughters carelessly. As long as your daughters keep their mouths shut in the future and don't spread rumors and slander others, this kind of thing probably won't happen again."

Mr. Zhao nudged her with his elbow and whispered in her ear, "Let's discuss this with Xiao Yan beforehand and hear her opinion." He dared not make decisions for Xiao Yan on his own!

Zhao's mother said, "Liu Yanhong slandered my daughter. As her mother, don't I have a say in whether or not she should be punished? Also, didn't you like Xiao Yan before? Why do you need to discuss this with him beforehand?"

Mr. Zhao: "Do you think you can make the decision without consulting him? Go ask Mr. Liu, do you think he'll listen to you?"

Zhao's mother immediately felt embarrassed: It seems that what the couple said doesn't really count.

The two sides agreed on a time for dinner, and the principal present also received a warm invitation from Liu Chong.

The principal initially didn't want to go, but he also wanted to see how the two girls fared. He, as the principal, wanted to nip any puppy love or marriage in the bud. The children's priority now was studying; getting into university and completing their studies was paramount. Everything else was irrelevant. So, after thinking it over, he agreed.

Many teachers and students thought that the arrival of the Liu family would lead to a huge scene, perhaps even a physical altercation, and that it would definitely be quite a spectacle. However, to their surprise, the parents talked for a long time in the principal's office, and when the principal finally saw them out, they were all laughing and chatting, seemingly as if they had known each other for a long time.

Everyone was confused.

Liu Yanhong arrived at school in the afternoon. As soon as she entered the classroom, the once lively classroom fell silent.

The students looked at her in shock: she had just jumped from the fifth floor that morning, bleeding profusely, yet she was standing unharmed in front of them. Was this girl a human or a ghost?

Liu Yanhong returned to her seat as if nothing had happened. She still carried her bag across her shoulder with a touch of roguishness, her hands in her pockets, and her face was full of arrogant coldness, so no one suspected that the soul inside this body had been replaced.

Chu Nian didn't intend to interfere in the female lead's life, so she just wanted to keep a low profile and hoped that Liu Yanhong wouldn't cause her and Fei Sisi trouble like the original Liu Yanhong did after she changed her soul.

Fei Sisi received a call from Zhao Nian. Zhao Nian said he would pick her up after school that evening, which made Fei Sisi very happy.

After hanging up the phone, she told Chu Nian about it, saying, "My mom has never said she would pick me up from school before. I don't know what's wrong with her lately. After saying she would take me to school last time, she actually said she would pick me up from school today."

Chu Nian tapped her index finger lightly on the table and said, "Did you mention your sleepwalking incident to your mother?" She had become Fei Sisi's best friend, and the two could talk about anything. After Fei Sisi "sleptwalked" that night, she told Chu Nian about it the next day when they rode their bikes to school together.

Fei Sisi shook her head and asked, "Do you think she's been more worried about me lately because I sleepwalk?"

Chu Nian said, "Since you didn't mention this to her, then I'm probably overthinking it." She still suspected that Zhao Nian was looking for an opportunity to get rid of Fei Sisi. Since the hallucinogen had already worn off and she hadn't used it again, it was probably because this special hallucinogen could only be used once.

But if Zhao Nian personally takes care of Fei Sisi, isn't she afraid of being exposed? Or does she have a way to make Fei Sisi's death seem reasonable even though she took action herself?

Chu Nian pondered, her fingers tapping incessantly on the table.

Liu Yanhong, who was sitting diagonally in front of her, suddenly turned her head and glanced at her.

Although Fei Sisi wasn't the object of her gaze, the moment she turned her head, she was startled by the inertia and unconsciously reached out to grab Chu Nian's school uniform sleeve.

Chu Nian said helplessly, "You've been practicing martial arts for a while now, so you don't need to be afraid of her anymore."

Fei Sisi said, "But I don't know why, I feel she's even scarier than before. Do you think she'll take revenge on us now that she survived her jump?"

Chu Nian said nonchalantly, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way, whether it's soldiers or water."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Yanhong suddenly stood up from her seat. Fei Sisi, who had just let go of Chu Nian's sleeve, was startled by this sudden movement and gripped it tightly again, instinctively shrinking behind Chu Nian.

Liu Yanhong turned around and walked up to Chu Nian and Fei Sisi, saying, "I will not cause you any more trouble in the future. I hope that you and I will keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other."

"Okay," Chu Nian said with a smile, agreeing very readily.

Liu Yanhong probably knew very well that Fei Sisi was now a big fan of Chu Nian, so she didn't even look at Fei Sisi. After receiving Chu Nian's reply, she turned around and returned to her seat. Her words and actions were unusually decisive and efficient.

Fei Sisi whispered in Chu Nian's ear, "Why do I feel like Liu Yanhong is different now than before?"

As if she had heard her words, Liu Yanhong turned her head sharply and looked over, which startled Fei Sisi, who quickly shut her mouth, sat up straight, and acted as if to say, "We didn't whisper in each other's ears."

Chu Nian felt that Liu Yanhong's combat power was probably extraordinary now. She wondered if all aliens were like this? If so, wouldn't they be able to use this method to successfully invade Earth in no time?

Why is she worrying about this? She'll be removed from this world after completing her mission; let the future people worry about what happens next!

Chu Nian was about to pretend to be engrossed in reading and then release her detection power to investigate Maria Company's underground laboratory when she unexpectedly discovered that Liu Yanhong was releasing a burst of energy that instantly enveloped her.
