My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: A Beauty in Embrace; A resolve
‘Fine, I will accept her.’ Eren let out a sigh, accepting the second option.

He had noticed another pattern in these options. The first option was often the most dangerous. Meanwhile, the other three options were often slightly kinder.

Another thing that he realized was that he had only selected the second option so far. Almost every time, it was the second choice that made the most sense.

He wasn’t sure if it was the system offering him guidance. But why was he being guided?

If the system was created by the author who hated him, shouldn’t he have given him only dangerous options? Or rather, he could have given him just the options without any rewards.

Even if there was no reward, he might have selected an option, just to avoid a penalty. So why was he being awarded?

He didn’t know why, but he felt that something was really off with his initial assumption.

[You have been rewarded with an Unknown Egg]

[The Egg has been placed in your System Storage. Please take it out as soon as possible]

“I don’t know if I should thank you or blame you,” Eren muttered, seeing the notification.

He was slightly glad that an egg just didn’t pop out of thin air, just like the pendant. It was like the System was being considerate.

“Did you say anything?” Elder Li glanced at Eren, feeling as if he heard something.

“It’s nothing.”

Eren looked at the young girl, who looked like she had just turned eighteen years old. Even though she was so young, she was clearly very strong.

In the novel, she studied under Zhang Wei. Her rise was also quite fast in the sect. Because of that, she attracted a lot of jealousy in the sect.

Due to the jealousy, there were many attempts on her life. Most of those attempts had failed, but one time, she had almost died.

It was the Main Character who saved her, which made her fall for him. She was one of the love interests for the Main Character in the novel.

Eren looked at Yu Lin, who was waiting for his response. She had made her choice and no elder could refuse her. Still, she waited to get confirmation from Elder Ren.

“May I ask why you chose me?” Eren asked the young girl.

“Because I believe you are the strongest,” the girl replied honestly.

She had made up her mind to select Zhang Wei. But when she saw Eren’s dignified aura and his actions, she felt that he was stronger than Zhang Wei.

She believed he could help her get stronger and achieve her goals.

“You’re quite honest, aren’t you?” Eren stated. She didn’t even hesitate in calling him the strongest, despite the other two Elders being present here.

“Alright. I will accept you as my first Disciple.”

Hearing the response, the girl immediately dropped on her knees and greeted him like a disciple would.

“Disciple Yu Lin greets Master.”

In just a single day, Eren was forced to make so many choices and each of his choices held great significance.

He was really tired at this point. He just wanted to return. He didn’t want to trigger any other choice.

If he didn’t select a disciple here, he didn’t know what kind of choices he was going to receive if he was called by the Sect Master who wanted him to accept a disciple.

To remove any dangerous possibilities for the future, he decided to accept the Disciple. Although it changed the story, he didn’t care. His survival was going to change the story in any case.

Since he had already changed the story, he decided to change things thoroughly. He was going to create this world according to his own will.

Not only was he going to survive, but he was also going to make it so that nothing could threaten him in this world.

In this world, strength was everything. And these options and the rewards were his strength. His future knowledge was his strength! His Phoenix was his strength! And now, his disciples were going to be his strength.

Even if he wasn’t the main character, he had made up his mind to surpass any main character ever. Even if he didn’t have the Plot Armor, he was willing to create an Armor stronger than the Plot Armor.

He stepped forward, reaching out his hand towards Yu Lin.

Yu Lin saw his hand extended towards her. She raised her head, noticing his face from even closer.

She couldn’t help but be awestruck. He was really beautiful beyond description.

She subconsciously reached out her hand, holding his hand.

Warm winds surrounded the two of them, raising them in the air.

The two of them landed on the Phoenix who spread her wings, soaring high in the sky.

Yu Lin was scared as the Phoenix rose higher. It was her first time flying.

Scared of falling to her death, she didn’t even think clearly as she hugged Eren tightly, sitting in his embrace.

Her eyes remained closed and she didn’t dare to open them.

Eren felt the girl’s sweet scent assault his senses. She was sitting on his lap, hugging him tightly, not realizing what a vulnerable position it was.

In his main world, despite his academic achievements, Eren was only a young man who had never experienced romance.

Even in this world, he was still so young. Although he was an Elder, he was only around three years older than the girl.

Eren wanted to push the girl back and maintain his dignity, but his body refused to listen to him.

It was wrong to say that Eren didn’t feel anything when Yu Lin was in his arms. If anything, he also had his feelings stirred.

The Phoenix soared high in the sky. Many people on the ground saw the Phoenix, realizing that it belonged to Elder Ren. But none knew that atop the Phoenix, a man and a woman were in each other’s embrace.

After a long time, Yu Lin came to her senses. She realized that she was tightly hugging Elder Ren.

Her face flushed crimson as she hastily moved away.

However, in her haste, she lost her footing and teetered dangerously close to the edge of the Phoenix’s back.

“Be careful!” Eren’s reflexes kicked in, and he swiftly grabbed her, preventing her from falling.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten his own physical weakness.

As he managed to pull her back, their combined weight caused him to lose his balance. They tumbled backward, with Eren landing on his back and Yu Lin falling atop him.
