My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Not for the weak
“I have truly been enlightened. To think that there are still people like you in this world.”

Xiu Ying was about to take action when a woman’s voice came from a distance.

Eren turned around and saw a young woman standing back in the line.

The woman didn’t have much presence previously, as if she was a ghost.

“Isn’t that…” Eren couldn’t help but smile.

The woman was quite beautiful. She was in her mid twenties but what attracted his attention were her clothes.

The woman was wearing a black cloak, but the cloak had a very specific marking that almost everyone in this continent could recognise.

It was said that one could offend the King, but not people who wore clothes with these markings.

These markings were something that only the people from the Great Demon Sect were allowed to use.

And the robe that the woman was wearing was given by the Sect to its Inner Disciples.

Eren also had a robe granted by the sect, but the one belonging to him was more luxurious and eye-catching.

His robe was made from golden cicada threads and was enough to prove his identity as the Elder of Great Demon Sect.

Since he was moving secretly, he didn’t wear any clothes that could help people identify him.

‘Those clothes…”

Eren didn’t remember seeing the young woman in the sect. But if she was so far from the Sect, it made sense.

Only a few people had seen his face, and similarly, he had only seen the faces of a few people of the sect.

‘To think that an Inner Disciple of the sect would be here. But I don’t think she recognises me yet. That’s for the best.’

Eren moved closer and whispered something in Xiu Ying’s ears.

Xiu Ying nodded despite appearing somewhat unwilling. She was told that the plan was changed. She wasn’t allowed to kill anyone.

There was another person here to attract the attention of the Guards now. They didn’t need to trouble themselves.

“Is that?” The Guard looked at the young woman’s robe, his face growing pale.

Not just him, but all the other guards were also scared.

It had been a long time since they saw a Disciple from the Great Demon Sect. But they had heard a lot about these people.

It was said that the Great Demon Sect was a place where only crazy people could get selected.

The Sect was the overlord of the Eastern Continent, but it wasn’t simply because of the strength of the Sect Master or Elders.

The Disciples of the Sect were just as crazy.

The Disciples of the Great Demon Sect didn’t take part in any contests outside the sect. That’s why, not many people knew how they fought.

It was said that the reason they didn’t take part in the competitions of the other sects was because the sects were just too weak for them.

“I was too lazy to intervene, but you people have really started getting on my nerves. Was the lesson taught by Elder Zhang last time not enough for you?”

The dark robed woman spoke as she moved. Her movements looked extremely slow, but at the same time, they were too fast.

She was standing at the end of the line, but in the blink of an eye, she was at the entrance of the city.

Her aura was overwhelming, causing everyone around to feel a sense of unease. Despite his powerful presence, there was a certain air of calmness surrounding her.

The Guards looked at each other’s faces. It was true that they had become greedy, but they never expected someone so extraordinary to be standing in the line like that.

“And you… You can’t even protect your woman. It seems you only have some looks, but no courage. You are truly pathetic.”

The woman didn’t just scare the Guards, but she also turned to Eren. She hated weakness, and in her eyes, Eren was the definition of weakness.

The Guards were trying to harass her woman and he couldn’t even fight back. He was trying to leave?

She couldn’t feel any strength coming from him either. She could only imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t intervened.

“If you’re so weak, you should stay at home. This World isn’t a place for people like you!”

She turned around and entered the city after warning Eren. But even as she entered the city, a painful groan was heard.

The guard who had ordered for these people to be detained fell on the ground, his chest bleeding.

No one saw the attack or when he was even hit. But they all knew who did it.

They watched the woman’s back who disappeared inside the city.

“This world truly isn’t for the weak. But isn’t that girl getting too arrogant?”

Eren mumbled while holding Xiu Ying’s hand tightly to stop her from sending the woman flying with a slap.

Although the woman had a sharp tongue, she had indeed helped them by taking the attention of them.

The remaining guards didn’t try to do anything. They returned to their duties and allowed Eren and Xiu Ying to enter the city.

Another guard rushed to the City Lord’s Palace to inform him about the arrival of such an important guest.

Eren hadn’t taken the woman’s words to heart. He was only here to rest. But the moment he entered the city, four options appeared before him.

[Option One: A Disciple from the Sect insulted you. As the Elder, it is your duty to teach her a lesson.

Tell her your true identity and punish her.

Reward: Sword of Punishment (Low Tier)]

[Option Two: You have been impressed by the talent of the woman. Despite being a part of the Great Demon Sect, she was kind enough to help strangers.

Make her your disciple without exposing your real identity.

Reward: Grade Three Alchemy Master Knowledge]

[Option Three: As the Elder, it is important to approach this situation with wisdom and compassion. You don’t want to punish those who didn’t know any better. Ignore the woman’s actions.

Reward: Spirit Healing Herb]

[Option Four: You don’t want to get your hands dirty, but you agree that this world doesn’t belong to the weak.

Have Xiu Ying kill that disrespectful girl.

Reward: Murderous Aura (High Grade)]
