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

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: True Essence of Arrogance

Eren landed in front of the Alchemy Hall, which was one of the most important places in the Demon Sect.

It was the place where most of the divine pills were created for the Sect's use. It was also the place where Alchemists of the Sect could come and train themselves.

Ye Liang was instantly able to recognise this place as he was sent here by his master once. His master never came here personally, and always sent Disciples whenever he needed to buy something.

He didn't understand why Eren brought him here. Were they here to buy some pills that were to be used during the Sect Master's Quest?

The Guards standing at the entrance of the Alchemy Hall did not recognise Eren.

Everyone in the sect associated Elder Ren with an existence that always traveled on his Phoenix, so they didn't even think of the possibility that it was the same person.

They only saw the Elder's robe on Eren, and understood that he was an Elder of the Sect. But which Elder? There were many Elders who never came here before, so they weren't sure.

"Don't speak until I tell you to, no matter what you hear," Eren reminded Ye Liang before approaching the entrance.

The Guards looked at each other.

One of them asked, "Greetings, Elder. May I ask you for your identity?"

"Li Haoran," Eren answered. "And this is my disciple Ye Liang. Now step aside."

"Ah, that's right. I remember him!" One of the guards suddenly exclaimed. "He came here a few months ago, saying he was a personal disciple of Elder Li. He even had the official token. How could I forget?"

The guards stepped aside and cleared a path for Eren and Ye Liang.

Ye Liang looked at Eren weirdly. Why was this guy pretending to be his master? Just what was he scheming? If he just wanted to enter this place, he could have used his own name as well.

"We apologize for delaying you. Usually, we don't question the Elders. It's just that one of the Elders has recently been banned from the Alchemy Hall. So we had no other choice."

Eren stopped right next to the Guards. He already knew which Elder they were talking about, but he was quite surprised that Great Elder Zia was so fast.

"If I'm not wrong, it must be Elder Ren," he said.

"That is correct, but how did you find out?" The Guards were surprised.

Only the people of the Alchemy Hall were supposed to know about this, and no one was foolish enough to leak it. No matter what, the banished person was still the Elder of the Sect.

"The Alchemy Hall Master told me. It's nothing much. Just be careful and make sure that you don't allow Elder Ren to enter," Eren patted the guard's shoulders and walked past them.

Ye Liang rubbed his forehead. These guards were so foolish. The banished person entered the hall right in front of their eyes.

Not only were they not stopping him, but they were also thinking that he was the Frozen Demon? How could such foolish people be guarding such an important place?

'It's truly a beautiful place. It's so much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. They probably used quite a lot of Space Stones. As expected of one of the wealthiest halls of the sect.'

After entering from the main door, they ended up in the Main Hall, which appeared so vast that it could house tens of thousands of people and still have space left.

He could smell most exotic herbs even in this huge hall where not a single herb was on sight.

'What a waste of money on unnecessary things. They have an entire mountain, but they still have to use spatial stones on such unnecessary things.'

'Then again, I'm even worse than them. Despite having an entire mountain, 'I' chose to make a house at the edge of the cliff.'

He shook his head and cleared unnecessary thoughts. He approached the main desk. Looking at his robe, many disciples that were in front of him cleared his path.

"How may I help you today?" The manager of the Alchemy Hall asked respectfully.

Even though she was respectful, it was not to the extent of the guards. Instead, she was respectful but still talking to him like an equal.

"I am here to sell this."

Eren brought a small herb from his storage ring and placed it on the desk.

"This is...?" The Manager looked at the herb with confusion. She couldn't recognise the herb, even with her vast knowledge.

The herb looked very ordinary, but it was the first time she was seeing a herb like this, which was filled with the scent of blood.

It felt as if the herb had grown in the depths of a bloody battlefield, constantly bathing under the blood.

"What is this?" The woman asked Eren after failing to recognise it.

"I had a feeling that you can't recognise it. You are too young for this. Go ahead and show this to the Great Elder. I'm sure she would recognise it,"

The Manager of the Alchemy Hall silently observed the herb, lost in some thoughts. She was the most knowledgeable person here, but she couldn't recognise it. She could only ask the Alchemy Hall Master, who was Great Elder Zia.

"Please wait right here. I will ask the Great Elder." The Manager carefully kept the herb in a precious box.

"Tell your Great Elder that I have even more things that might interest her. But if she wants to buy them, she might have to come here herself."

The Manager grew completely silent. Who was this arrogant Elder? He wanted the Great Elder to come here for him? This was the first time she was seeing such an arrogant person.

"Lie, please escort the Elder to the vip room. If the Great Elder agrees, we will arrange a meeting there."

The Manager quickly left while handling the other responsibilities to her subordinates.

Another woman told Eren to follow her to the meeting room.

Eren followed the girl and reached the special room, which was completely empty. The room contained only a pair of sofas positioned around a sleek glass table.

He entered the room and took a seat on one of the sofas, casually resting his foot upon the glass table as he awaited the arrival of the Great Elder. Ye Liang stood behind him.

After the girl exited the room and shut the door behind her, only Ye Liang and Eren remained behind.

"You may have mistaken arrogance for confidence. Today, I shall enlighten you on the true essence of arrogance, all while taking back what is rightfully mine," Eren's calm voice broke the silence in the room.
