After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 49: You’re Not Thinking of Using Magic Again, Are You?

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: You’re Not Thinking of Using Magic Again, Are You?

Qin Hongbo sighed with relief after she finished speaking.

Then, he revealed a smug and disdainful expression.

"Since you also said you wouldn’t make coming in last your excuse, shouldn’t you be prepared to accept your loss?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Indeed, I should accept my loss, and I hope Teacher Qin doesn’t forget that."

Qin Hongbo felt somewhat displeased hearing this.

"You’re the one who ranked last, not me having to resign, what have I got to lose?"

Shi Yaoguang revealed an expression filled with profound meaning, "That’s not necessarily the case."

Qin Hongbo’s face changed, "You, you’re not planning to use your sorcery again, are you?"

The principal’s expression turned unsightly upon hearing the word "sorcery."

In a society governed by law, feudal superstition is unacceptable.

After the founding of the country, even animals couldn’t turn into spirits, and here was Qin Hongbo, a successor of socialism, actually uttering words tinted with feudal superstition like "sorcery," which was simply a violation of professional ethics!

Qin Hongbo, however, failed to notice the principal’s dark expression.

At the moment, his heart was filled with unease.

He even began to feel a hint of regret deep inside.

Shi Yaoguang was not an ordinary student.

She was someone who knew sorcery!

What if she got angry and suddenly targeted him with her sorcery? What then?

Qin Hongbo grew more and more frightened as he thought about it, his gaze toward her was also one of panicked confusion.

Cheng Lingdang didn’t know what he was afraid of and showed a look of disgust.

"Teacher Qin, what’s with that look in your eyes?"

Qin Hongbo glared at her, finding her very meddlesome and annoying.

Unfazed, Cheng Lingdang glared back, "What are you glaring at? Is it a contest to see who has bigger eyes?"

Qin Hongbo’s expression turned unfriendly, "This has nothing to do with you, which class are you from? Go back to your own class."

"I’m from Class One." Cheng Lingdang introduced herself with a smile, "My name is Cheng Lingdang, from the Cheng Family. We have a bit of money, Teacher Qin surely wouldn’t look down on that, right?"

Qin Hongbo flipped through his memory, Mingzhu City didn’t seem to have a particularly famous Cheng Family.

At the very least, they couldn’t compare to the Shi Family.

With this thought, he became more self-righteous, "What does a mere Cheng Family count for? Today’s matter isn’t something a little girl like you can interfere with, hurry back to your class."

Teacher Qin sure has big airs," Cheng Lingdang said, "No wonder you look down on my insignificant Cheng Family."

"However—"

With malicious intent, Cheng Lingdang said, "The main business of my Cheng Family isn’t in Mingzhu City. My dad, who isn’t much, does sit on even terms with the deputy mayor. Just a minor official, it’s normal for Teacher Qin to look down on."

Qin Hongbo’s legs went weak when she finished speaking.

"What, what did you say?"

Cheng Lingdang pretended not to understand, "I said quite a lot, Teacher Qin, which sentence would you like me to repeat?"

Seeing her confident manner, Qin Hongbo knew her words were true and not just boasting.

With this realization, his heart sank even further.

Fortunately, he wasn’t without support.

A group of students who looked up to him as their leader, as well as classmates who were friendly with Shi Yiqing and looked down upon Shi Yaoguang, actually banded together and stormed the principal’s office.

Leading them was Yu Zhenzhen.

Yu Zhenzhen, brimming with righteous indignation, marched over with her classmates and pointed at Shi Yaoguang, demanding loudly that she get out of Ruihe High School.

"Oh, Miss Yu."

Shi Yaoguang flashed a friendly smile, greeted her, and then asked with an air of concern, "Miss Yu, what do you intend to do by bringing such a crowd here?"

"What do you think I want to do?"

Yu Zhenzhen lifted her chin proudly, scoffed coldly, "You lost a bet with Teacher Qin, and we’re here to see you off the school premises."

Shi Yaoguang slowly revealed a smile, "Lost the bet, did I? That’s not necessarily the case."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenzhen showed a look of contempt.

"Heh, Qingqing told us that you’re not that kind of person, yet there were some who didn’t believe her. Now, it seems that Qingqing is indeed too kind, still holding out hope for someone like you."

"Someone like me?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyebrows arched upward, "Do tell, what would someone like me do?"

Yu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, "Do I really have to spell out everything you did? You’re shameless beyond measure."

"But since you want me to speak up, then I will."

Yu Zhenzhen said with a disdainful tone, "Don’t think I can’t see through your little game. Weren’t you just trying to exploit a loophole when you made that bet with Teacher Qin?"

"Even if the loophole does exist, anyone with a shred of dignity wouldn’t try to resist it, right? After all, no one is a fool; if you said you’d rank first, who would bet on coming in last?" freёnovelkiss.com

"Under those circumstances, it’s only normal that Teacher Qin didn’t notice any loophole in the bet."

Shi Yaoguang nodded, approvingly, "You’re right."

Yu Zhenzhen had braced herself for an argument, but she was caught off guard by Shi Yaoguang’s calm response.

But, remembering that she was fighting for Qingqing, she regained her resolve.

No matter what, she couldn’t let Shi Yaoguang exploit any loopholes.

Cheng Lingdang stood resolutely beside Shi Yaoguang, listening to Yu Zhenzhen assertively block any chance Shi Yaoguang might have to turn the tables through the bet’s loopholes, and sneered dismissively.

If Shi brother wasn’t so confident in himself, she would have made sure that Yu Zhenzhen couldn’t utter another word.

The bet’s term itself is quite significant.

When you make a bet, if you don’t pay attention to the terms, whining about it afterward is pointless. Do you really think the world revolves around you, and that everyone should indulge you?

Cheng Lingdang mentally simulated a debate with Yu Zhenzhen, imagining herself leaving Yu Zhenzhen speechless, and instantly felt better.

When her eyes landed on Yu Zhenzhen again, she felt as if she were looking at a fool.

Indeed, Yu Zhenzhen was a fool through and through.

Completely used by Shi Yiqing, yet believing her to be a pure and innocent damsel.

But none of that mattered. What was important was...

She seemed to want Shi brother to stand up for her!!!

Yu Zhenzhen had been babbling for quite some time without getting a proper response from Shi Yaoguang, which made her increasingly irritated.

"Shi Yaoguang, I’m talking to you. What are you, playing dumb?"

Shi Yaoguang replied with an innocent tone, "I’m not playing dumb, am I?"

"Then why aren’t you talking!" Yu Zhenzhen said, fuming.

Shi Yaoguang spread her hands, expressing her innocence once again, "I didn’t speak because I wanted to give you a chance to perform. What can you say once I open my mouth?"

Yu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, "who asked for your opportunity?"

"Are you sure you don’t need it?" Shi Yaoguang asked, as if seeking confirmation.

Yu Zhenzhen’s eyebrows flew up, punctuating each word, "Don’t, need, it!"

"Alright then." Shi Yaoguang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her gaze rested on the principal, who was watching the drama unfold.

When the principal felt her look his way, he subconsciously straightened his spine.
