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

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Precious Guest

....

Feng Yu sat in silence with her eyes closed. She couldn't help but think about the things that Xiu Ying had told her.

"She fell in love..." she mumbled under her breath. "I hope this won't create any unnecessary troubles."

She still remembered the day when Xiu Ying was brought to the Sect for the first time.

It was a time when the Great Demon Sect was still an ordinary sect in the upper tier and the Sect Master was Feng Yu's father.

"This is Xiu Ying. From today onwards, she will live with us. You two should get along."

That was what her father said when he introduced Xiu Ying to her.

The girl had completely blank eyes as she hid behind Feng Yu's father. She looked like she was dead inside as she didn't even say a single word.

Feng Yu listened to her father and tried to get along with Xiu Ying, but the little girl didn't react much. No matter what Feng Yu did, there was no response from her.

A few years passed and nothing changed. During the years, her father trained both of them.

Feng Yu was talented and was able to learn skills quite fast.

Meanwhile, Xiu Ying was talented in her own ways. She wasn't much behind when it came to comprehending the skills. In some ways, her comprehension was even better than Feng Yu.

As time passed, it felt as if Xiu Ying was slowly coming out of the trauma and adjusting to her new life in the sect. She started talking more as well.

However, Feng Yu knew that she was just trying to hide how broken she was on the inside by smiling on the outside.

As they grew up together, they became best friends despite all the oddities. If anything, they treated each other as sisters, despite their different positions in the sect.

The Sect Master also treated them equally. Throughout this time, there was one thing that Feng Yu noticed.

During the years, Feng Yu didn't treat any martial skills or treasures as precious to her. The only time she appeared to care about was a ring that she had brought with herself.

The ring was not her size and she couldn't even wear it properly. There was nothing special about the ring either as it was just a cheap iron ring that could be made anywhere.

Still, no matter how ordinary that ring was, Xiu Ying was obsessed with it. It was her most precious belonging as it was the last remnant of her family that died because of her.

She already carried that being with her, no matter where she went. It was always in her pocket, and sometimes around her neck, being used as a pendant after being tied to a thread.

Feng Yu didn't find it odd. Everyone had a thing or two that they loved. However, Xiu Ying's love wasn't any ordinary love.

Feng Yu stood up and walked out of the Palace, thinking back to the day when a servant in the sect was brutally killed by Xiu Ying who was just sixteen years old at that time.

She still remembered Xiu Ying hitting the servant again and again, all because he had accidentally touched her ring.

That was the first time Feng Yu had seen how possessive Xiu Ying could become. The things she loved, she didn't like them being taken by others. That was also the biggest flaw of Xiu Ying.

Fortunately, there weren't many things that Xiu Ying loved, so it was easy to handle her. As Xiu Ying grew up, she also became distant from others because of her charming physique blossoming.

She didn't leave the core region. Most of her time was spent with Feng Yu, or reading books by some unknown writer. So much time had passed that Feng Yu had almost forgotten the past.

However, after all this time, Xiu Ying again had a thing she loved. Moreover, that thing wasn't an object but a person.

Thinking about it, Feng Yu didn't know how to react. It was already too late. If she killed Eren, then Xiu Ying was going to be upset at her.

She could make Eren disappear during one of the missions, but that was even more problematic. In an instant, Eren's position had risen, albeit accidentally.

"Should I not send him to the Western Continent?" she wondered as she finally stepped out of the palace, ignoring the greetings of the Guards.

She hadn't told Xiu Ying about the mission Eren was being sent to. However, she was certain that she might find out from Eren.

She had even made up half her mind to not send Zhang Wei if Xiu Ying raised her objections due to her jealousy. However, at the same time, she also thought that maybe Xiu Ying had changed as she had grown up now.

She didn't realize that Xiu Ying didn't even know that Eren was going on a mission with Zhang Wei, as Eren had selected a different option.

....

Elder Li returned to his mansion after meeting with the Sect Master, only to find the main character Ye Liang standing in front of the house.

Ye Liang was completely safe, which proved that Eren hadn't hurt him. However, that didn't lower Elder Li's anger. If anything, seeing Ye Liang reminded him of that insulting day.

His resolve to kill Eren had only become stronger, and this trip was a perfect opportunity. He didn't know that Ye Liang also had the same goal.

Ye Liang was wondering how he could kill Eren as he had failed the last opportunity. Was he ever going to receive a similar opportunity? He wasn't sure.

At least that was the case until Elder Li brought him inside the house and told him that they were going to the Western Continent with Eren and Zhang Wei.

In another place, Zhang Wei still remembered the cold gaze of Xiu Ying. For some reason, she had a really bad feeling about it.

....

In the Western Continent, a Priestess was sitting near the feet of the statue of the goddess.

"We have received a response. The guests will come..." A voice came from out the door.

The Holy Priestess opened her eyes, the corner of her lips creeping up.

"Shouldn't you start preparing to welcome our precious guest then?" she said, her melodious voice echoing in the prayer room.
