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

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Bad News

Eren escorted Yu Lin back to the palace, assigning her a secluded room at the farthest end. He wanted to ensure her safety, even in the unlikely event of an attack from outside. The farther she was from the entrance, the better it was.

He noticed that Yu Lin was pushing herself too hard, but he couldn't grasp her reasons. Her recent change intrigued him, leaving him with only one uncertainty.

Was her transformation due to him, or was it her mother?

As he watched Yu Lin sleeping, exhausted, on the bed, his mind was filled with questions. He had already given her a pill to restore her depleted life essence, but the effects were not immediate.

He was sure that she was going to need a lot of rest for the time being.

"Sleep well, little one." He said while casting a protective barrier around this area.

With the barrier, he could immediately know if someone entered this domain or if Yu Lin left this place. After taking every precaution possible, he turned to leave. However, as he was about to step out of the room, he stopped.

He turned back and walked closer to Yu Lin who was sleeping without any awareness. He placed his hand on the young girl's forehead, using the Dragon Bloodline.

"Dragon's Blessing," he said, using the Dragon Tongue. It was a language that only he and the Dragons could learn.

Even if someone was to hear his words, they could only see it as him speaking gibberish unless they knew how the Dragons used the Dragon Tongue.

Yu Lin's face relaxed a little as she received the blessing of a Dragon.

Eren placed another healing pill on the table next to the bed along with some instructions before finally leaving the room.

He started walking back towards the Main Hall of the Palace where Feng Yu was still waiting for him. With the Main Hall being in the middle of the palace, it did allow him quick access to the exit as well as the room where Yu Lin was sleeping.

"What did you find out?" he asked while only the sound of his footsteps resounded in the long corridor.

"How did you find me?" Yelen appeared behind him, taken aback. She was even planning to scare him by suddenly jumping in front of him, trying to mess with him.

She didn't expect him to call her out as soon as she came.

"Not many people have that sweet yet strong scent that you do," Eren lazily said, walking without looking back.

For others, Yelen was invisible. They could neither see her nor listen to her. She was like a ghost to them. However, for him it was different.

As she was his guardian, she was like a normal person to him. He could hear her, see her and even feel her scent when she was nearby.

"Tsk," Yelen clicked her tongue as she caught up to him. "Are you saying that I smell?"

Eren simply shrugged, not knowing how to answer.

After a pause, he briefly exclaimed, "Do you say that flowers smell? I just said that you have quite a nice scent. That aside, what did you find out?"

"Hmph, I'll let you go this time," Yelen rolled her eyes before turning serious. "Though I did find out what they are planning. All I can say is that you are in a deep mess."

"Why? Are they planning to attack me together?" Eren asked, already expecting a few of their actions.

"You wish," Yelen answered. "They have gathered all the Great Elders and Elders. They told them that you killed the Sect Master and took her place. At the moment, almost the entire sect is brainwashed against you."

"I suppose my reputation didn't help me much either?" Eren said, realizing that with the kind of evil reputation he had, more people were going to believe this story.

Only a few of them knew that the ring could only be passed from one sect master to another.

Even if he was going to explain that it was impossible for him to kill the Sect Master as he had the ring, it was impossible for them to believe him.

"How much time do I have?" he asked Yelen.

With the entire sect being brainwashed against him, he already knew what the Ancestral Elders were planning. They were trying to use a borrowed sword to kill him.

It was only a matter of time before they convinced all the Elders and even the ignorant disciples into attacking the palace in the name of justice.

If he didn't do anything, everything was going to be destroyed. He might even be seriously hurt. If he killed them, then their hatred was only going to increase, giving the Ancestral Elders even more justification.

It was as if he was placed in a checkmate. No matter what he did, he had to stand against the Great Demon Sect, unless Feng Yu showed herself.

There were still a few more days left until Feng Yu could be free, so revealing her was an even worse outcome.

He at least hoped that they were going to take a long time before mounting an assault on the palace.

"Tomorrow," Yelen told Eren, making his expressions go darker.

"There is one more thing. And it might even be worse." While Eren was already concerned about the situation, Yelen continued.

"What could be worse?" he asked, only to regret even asking.

"One of the Ancestral Elders has already leaked the information that Feng Yu is dead. The information has been sent to Mist. She also responded," Yelen said.

"Don't tell me she is also coming to take a piece of the pie?" Eren rubbed his forehead, his tone getting darker.

The last thing he lacked was another Overlord dancing over his head, especially one who had sent him as a spy here.

"I will not tell you then," Yelen didn't continue further, her meaning being clear. Eren was right, and Mist was also coming here personally.
