My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 161: Chapter 161: She won’t find out
“The two of them look so good together. They might as well be the most ideal couple in the sect,” the girl said.
She still remembered the time she took part in the Entrance Examination and saw Eren and Zhang Wei together.
She was a new disciple of the Sect who came from the same batch as Yu Lin and Ye Liang. But she had failed to be selected by any Elder. She only managed to become an Inner Disciple.
“I know. But I can still dream. It’s not necessary for a great man like Elder Ren to have only one wife. Elder Zhang can be his main wife and I can be his second?”
“Pah! Keep dreaming!”
Both of them knew that Eren was the sky that they could never touch. They weren’t talented enough to be his disciple, nor beautiful enough to be his wife.
The two girls didn’t realize that someone was standing in the sky, hearing their conversation.
Xiu Ying’s expressions grew dark the moment she heard about Eren and Zhang Wei being the ideal couple.
She knew that it was only the imagination of these girls, but she still hated this imagination. Just the thought alone made her angry.
Her fists were clenched so tight that she had started bleeding, small drops of blood falling from the sky.
….
“I understand. I will do as you ask,” the old Beast Master agreed to Eren. “But before that, can you free me first?”
Eren started freeing the old man’s hands and feet. Although the man was forcefully brought here, but he knew that he wasn’t stupid enough to try to hurt them, especially since they were in the Great Demon Sect.
“She might have been a little rude, but she isn’t a bad person. She was just worried about me,” he told the old man while freeing him, trying to explain that they weren’t bad people.
If he didn’t have to maintain the dignity of an Elder and put up an act, he might have apologized for Xiu Ying.
“I already understand everything. You don’t have to worry. I won’t blame her for it. And what can I even do by blaming her?
She is too strong.”
The old man rubbed his wrists which still had the marks from the bindings. “I suppose I am also at fault. If I knew she was from the Great Demon Sect, I wouldn’t have made her wait.”
If he knew Xiu Ying’s identity or strength, he would have left everything behind to come talk to her. Instead, he made her wait. That was his biggest mistake.
As Xiu Ying was in a hurry, she didn’t wait at all. He was still thinking about the losses he had suffered because of his one mistake.
While the old man was talking to him, Eren was looking around the room, trying to see what trace Zia had noticed.
“While you’re here, you can check my Phoenix. It would always be good to have a second opinion. This will also help you act better.” МѴ∟ЕƜƤႸᎡ.ϲՕᎷ
He brought his Phoenix out and told her to rest in this room for a little while.
The old man’s vision was obstructed as the giant phoenix appeared in the center of the hall, separating him from Eren.
Meanwhile, Eren walked closer to the bed.
“So this is what it was…” He looked under the bed and saw a drop of blood that was sticking to the leg of the bed, having fried up.
“I really should have been more careful. But I truly never thought that someone like Zia would come here. She just happened to be a Beast Master who recognised this blood.”
He cleaned the last trace of the blood as well and made sure to check everything thoroughly to make sure he didn’t make the mistake of leaving something behind again.
He cleaned every remaining trace and came out from under the bed. However, the moment he came out, he saw someone sitting on the bed.
The person wasn’t the old man, but it wasn’t Xiu Ying either. It was none that he knew. Instead, it was a woman that was semi transparent like a ghost.
The woman had a letter in her hand, which was similar to the letter that Xiu Ying had torn before.
“Hmm? Why does it feel like you can see me?” The woman looked curious as she watched Eren looking at her.
Eren hadn’t seen her before. If he had, he would have recognised her as the spirit that was summoned by Xiu Ying in the past.
“Who are you?” Eren asked the woman, standing up. He stepped back, creating some distance from the woman.
“Hmm? So you truly can see me? How is that possible?”
Even the woman appeared surprised as she confirmed that Eren could actually see her. Last time she was observing him on the Ocean of Blood.
She was certain that he couldn’t see her. Or was that because she hadn’t appeared in front of him? It was only now she started considering it. Could it be possible that he would have seen her there as well if she wasn’t hiding?
“It should be absolutely impossible. That’s what Mother said. Only the Contractor can see a Spirit, and you aren’t my contractor. So how?”
She stood up and started circling around Eren as if he was a treasure and she was a treasure collector.
“I had a feeling that you were special. But it seems you are even more special than I had assumed.”
“I came here using my own spirit essence, all because she kept rejecting the invitation. But now, it doesn’t seem like a waste. If mother finds out, she would be quite interested in you as well. I must take you with me.”
She appeared to have made up her mind but she was still hesitating. She knew that if she did it and Xiu Ying found out, it might not be good.
“Urgh, she isn’t here anyway. How will she even find out?!” She convinced herself. She was going to take Eren with her.
