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

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Death Flag

"Would you believe me if I said that this was an accident?" That was the first thing that came out of Eren's mouth.

Zhang Wei's eyes slowly regained focus, her expression shifting from shock to embarrassment. Her eyes narrowed as she looked down in the direction of her chest.

Eren followed her gaze and realized what she was looking at. His expression quickly changed as he retracted his hand and leapt back to create some distance.

"I was testing a portal skill, but something went wrong and I fell down. I didn't expect you to be in my room when I fell," he explained while Zhang Wei stood up, holding her arms around her chest.

Her face was slightly red as she glared at Eren. It wasn't clear if her face was red from embarrassment or plain anger.

Eren did, however, notice her fists clenched as a mist of blood rose around her.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei controlled her bloodlust at the right moment. The Blood Mist disappeared from around her, though it didn't mean she had forgotten what happened.

She realized there was some truth in Eren's words. When she came here, he wasn't here. For him to suddenly appear, it meant he came through a portal and something had gone wrong.

Although she was embarrassed, she couldn't just attack him over an accident. She didn't have a bad impression of him after all. If anything, their first meeting had given her a favorable impression.

Moreover, she wasn't even sure if she could actually hurt him if she attacked. She had felt his Sword Emperor's Aura during the entrance exam, which was comparable to the sect master if not stronger.

His recent reputation also didn't do him any injustice. He had killed the Asura Sect Master alone while also leading the weakest disciples of the sect to destroy the remaining sects.

Within the last few months, his achievements had made him appear like a towering existence. She didn't see any point in fighting him, especially if what he did wasn't intentional.

Eren could see her hesitation in attacking him. Inwardly, he sighed in relief. However, he didn't want to give her any opportunity either.

He quickly changed the topic and asked, "What brought you here though?"

"What else? The Sect Master told me to meet up with you, as we will be leaving for the Western Continent together."

"Ah, right. There was that."

Eren remembered that he was also planning to go meet her before he was kidnapped by Estelina. He wasn't the only one who had to go to the Western Continent after all.

As this was something that outsiders weren't supposed to know, Eren told the Beast Master to leave and return where he came from.

The Beast Master looked hesitant. He hadn't even finished appreciating Eren's Phoenix properly.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Wei glaring at him, he quickly flew out of the house. He left the sect as fast as possible, getting away.

While leaving, he kept reminding himself to never mess with the people of the Great Demon Sect. These people were too crazy.

He was also slightly jealous of Eren. On one hand, Eren had a lover like Xiu Ying. On the other hand, he was messing around with Zhang Wei, who was a beauty as well.

"If only I could see the Phoenix once more..." This was his biggest regret as he flew away, wondering if he was ever going to have a similar opportunity.

While the kidnapped Beast Master left, Eren stayed with Zhang Wei in his house. Yelen and Celeste were also in the room. Just as Yelen couldn't see Celeste, Zhang Wei couldn't see Yelen.

Eren and Zhang Wei discussed their upcoming trip to the Western Continent and all the preparations they needed to finish. Zhang Wei knew more about the Western Continent at this point in time after all.

It was almost evening when they finished talking.

"I will tell Elder Li what we discussed," Zhang Wei said as she stood up and started leaving.

However, just as she was about to step out, Eren called out to her.

"Do you think this is a trap?" he stood up and approached Zhang Wei who was standing near the door.

A sudden invitation from the Western Continent... In the novel, it didn't happen. At least it didn't happen at this point in time.

Even if he had changed the future, that was only in regards with the Southern, Eastern and Northern Continent. He hadn't done anything related to the Western Continent.

Nothing related to them should have changed due to him. He was certain that someone else had changed the future of the Western Continent, making it appear quite a lot like a trap.

"I don't think the Western Continent has any reason to mess with us. They should be busy dealing with the Necromancer Tower. They would have to be a fool to try to mess with us," Zhang Wei smiled, not taking the talk about traps seriously.

"And even if it is a trap, all we have to do is break their traps. It shouldn't be that hard," she confidently stated. "Before we know it, we should be back safely."

Hearing her words, Eren rubbed his forehead.

'Did she just raise a death flag?'

Zhang Wei didn't understand why Eren was talking about this as if he already knew that something was going to go wrong.

Wasn't he being a bit too cautious for someone who was known as the strongest Elder at the moment? Or was he just worried about her safety? She wondered.

She didn't think Eren would be scared of death. It made her believe that she was most probably worried about her as she was weaker than him.

"I think you are being too cautious. It's a good thing for the weak, but for us, it's completely unnecessary," Zhang Wei smiled in response, trying to comfort her.

She placed her hand on Eren's shoulder as she repeated, "As I said, we will all return safely."

Unfortunately, Eren only felt a sharp pain rise in his chest, thinking about the same death flag being raised again as if one time wasn't enough.

'Is this a fortress where you keep raising flags?!' he thought inwardly.

Not far from them, Xiu Ying was looking at them, having returned from a meeting with the Sect Master.

Zhang Wei had her hand on Eren's shoulder while Eren was looking at her in a gaze, mainly because he was cursing her inwardly.

However, from a distance, it looked like something else entirely.
