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

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Variables

Feng Yu's words echoed in Eren's mind, causing him to struggle with controlling his emotions. He was trying his hardest not to reveal anything through his emotions, but internally, chaos consumed him.

'Did she find out everything?'

This question plagued Eren's thoughts.

"I don't understand what you mean by 'kill'," Eren feigned ignorance, attempting to downplay the situation. "Could there be a misunderstanding?"

Feng Yu rose from her seat, her expression cold. Her words alone carried a weight that made Eren feel as if he stood on the edge of death.

Approaching Eren with silent steps, Feng Yu exuded an increasing aura of pressure, intensifying the unease within him.

Eren maintained his composure. He refused to let fear consume him. After all, what difference did it make if she were an Overlord? This time, he had a plan of his own.

"Does anything come to mind now?"

Feng Yu stopped before Eren, her eyes looking in his eyes, as if she was trying to see through his soul.

Eren was standing with his hands behind his back. Thanks to that, Feng Yu could not see his hand. She didn't notice a roll of thread appearing in his head.

'I thought I would be using this much later. If I don't use it now, I might really die."

The Thread of Marriage has appeared in Eren's hand. Since his thoughts were already consumed by Feng Yu, he didn't need much to activate the thread.

He simply released the threads that only he could see. While the threads fell towards the ground, one end of the thread flew towards his wrist and tied itself around him.

The other end of the thread flew towards Feng Yu and tied around her wrist.

As both threads were tied, the threads disappeared completely and even Eren was not able to see them anymore. He didn't even know if it had worked.

[Congratulations on using the Thread of Marriage]

[Path of Lover Progression: 5.6 Percent]

'Hmm? That was a lot of progress. I didn't think just trying to save my life could help me in this way. But for now, I can't lower my guard."

The Thread of Marriage made it almost impossible for Feng Yu to kill him. With this, his safety was guaranteed, at least temporarily.

Still, he didn't want to have a fallout here.

"I have killed quite a few people that deserved to die, so I don't understand who you are talking about?" he stated. "I'm afraid the Sect Master will have to be more specific."

"The Sect Master of Asura Sect... Does that remind you of something?" Feng Yu asked.

"Him?" Eren looked weirdly at Feng Yu.

'She was talking about that? I thought she was talking about Astral and found out my identity! This girl... She really knows how to scare a person.'

"I came here because I was informed that you have returned. You even had some argument with Zia right after returning?"

"It was not my intention to have an argument with her. It was just a misunderstanding..."

"It doesn't matter. What you do is insignificant to me. But when you spoil a prey, that is not something I can ignore."

"A prey? Are you talking about the Asura Sect Master?"

"That is right. I was looking forward to that insect trying to attack my sect with other insects. After so long, I would have had an excuse to come out. What a pity..."

Feng Yu turned around. She didn't ask how Eren was able to kill the Asura Sect Master. Instead, she just looked disappointed, even though her face didn't reveal it.

"Now that you have already ruined it, let it be. More interesting things have started happening, so it doesn't matter. But you... I still can't let you go without punishment."

"I want you to end it once and for all. A new guest has started making an appearance. At a time like this, I don't want any internal conflict in the future."

"Hence, you are to take the disciples and completely eradicate the remnant sects. Last time, I let a few exist, but it seems there is no need for that anymore."

"Eradicate the other sects? Does that include the Elders only, or..."

"Everyone... The Elders, and the disciples and even the new masters. I want you to clean it thoroughly so there are no unnecessary variables left."

"I..."

"You can refuse this instruction, but I don't know what might happen after that. So think carefully."

Feng Yu opened the door, as if preparing to leave. She didn't even care about his answer anymore.

"I will do it. But I have one question. You said a new guest is making an appearance? May I ask which guest you are talking about?"

"You don't need to know that. But remember, if you fail me, I might retrieve my protection. Everything you did to join my sect will go to waste."

Feng Yu stepped out of the house and flew away. The barrier cast by Xiu Ying was still present, but it couldn't even touch her.

"This arrogant girl... I was feeling bad about her for what Ren did, but sometimes she really makes it hard to feel pity for her."

Eren stood at the door, looking at the night sky.

"If I'm not wrong, the new guest she is talking about is most probably me. Either that, or it's another Transmigrator. But what did she mean by her last sentence?"

"Everything I did to join her sect? What did I do? With my weak body, I couldn't have done much. So the Hero Academy must have put up an act."

"Whatever... It's just cleansing a few sects. I can let the disciples take care of it. It might even be a good opportunity for me to level up."

"My own disciple can also train through practicals. What a good opportunity."

Eren jumped out the door. However, his body didn't start falling this time. Instead, he was flying through the air.

"I thought I should go teach my disciple a little. But since there is a chance in plans, let's retrieve my system first."

He flew straight towards the mountain of Great Elder Zia.
