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

Eren walked through the long corridor, but only halfway through, he remembered something important.

"I forgot to tell her to remove me from the blacklist," he thought to himself. However, he quickly dismissed the thought, confident that she would be wise enough to do it herself.

"Even if she doesn't remove me from the blacklist, it's fine," Eren reassured himself, a smile forming on his face. "I'm 'Elder Li' after all."

He continued walking, his long robe gracefully fluttering in the wind.

He soon reached the main hall, where Ye Liang was standing while holding multiple bags that were filled with medicinal herbs.

If it was a normal clan, it would be seen as emptying the entire treasury, but for the Alchemy Hall, this much was nothing.

"Looks like everything is prepared."

Eren observed the ten bags. With the 7th Grade Alchemy Grandmaster's knowledge, he didn't even need to open the bags to see the herbs that were there. Just their mind scent was enough.

Ye Liang waited for Eren to keep the bags in his storage ring, still not understanding why this guy brought him here. Was this just for this much?

Was he just overthinking when he thought that Eren was planning something bad for him?

"Carry all these bags to the foot of my mountain. And remember, don't keep them in the storage ring as it might affect their properties in ways you can't comprehend," Eren told Ye Liang.

Ye Liang's expression darkened. He was to carry all these bags physically? And what did he mean by affecting the properties of herbs by keeping them in a storage ring?

It was absurd. Everyone carried herbs in the storage ring. There was no such thing as affecting their properties! This man... He was clearly saying it because he didn't want him to take the easy way out.

Usually, he could still cheat by keeping these things in his inventory, but he didn't know if Eren was going to be observing him to see if he cheated. He couldn't reveal his inventory or system.

"But your mountain is so far!"

Not only was the place too far, but he couldn't even fly. If he was to walk there with so much weight on his shoulders, it might take the entire night to reach there!

"Good to see that you agreed. As expected of Elder Li's disciple."

Eren ignored Ye Liang's complaints entirely. He only heard what he wanted to hear, which was the thing that Ye Liang didn't even say.

Ye Liang stared at Eren's face blankly. This man couldn't be serious. Was he still trying to have his revenge for what happened earlier? Such a petty man!

Seeing Eren observe him as if waiting for him to carry these things, he begrudgingly picked all these bags, barely managing to carry them all.

As a cultivator, his strength was higher than an ordinary mortal. But still, the weight wasn't little for him.

Only when Ye Liang stepped out of the Alchemy Hall, the smile on Eren's face started fading.

Outside the Alchemy Hall, Ye Liang wasn't hiding the murderous intent either.

'I will definitely kill him!' he thought in his mind while walking down the mountain slowly.

Even now, he didn't speak his thoughts out loud as he thought that Eren was following him secretly to see if he was going to cheat.

Always expecting Eren to be in hiding, Ye Liang didn't try to cheat. Even when his body was aching due to the weight, he kept going forth. The only motivation he had was the thought that he was going to kill Eren.

He didn't realize that Eren was not following him. He hadn't even left the Alchemy Hall, nor was he planning to.

....

Eren told the Alchemy Hall Manager to gather a few more herbs, this time even higher grade herbs.

The Alchemy Hall Manager had already received the permission from the Hall Master to let him take the herbs he wanted.

She didn't check with the Hall Master again and gave all the herbs that Eren wanted.

"Elder, may I ask why you need these herbs? If I'm not wrong, only a Seventh Grade Alchemist can use these herbs. In the entire sect, that would be only our Hall Master."

She was suspicious about Eren's intentions. Was he planning to sell these herbs? That was foolish as well. If he was caught, he could be expelled from the Sect. So why? And why did the Hall Master allow him to take what he wanted?

"That's not something for you to know." Eren kept the herbs in his storage ring, right after telling Ye Liang that it wasn't allowed.

The woman who heard everything he told Ye Liang was at a loss for words.

"Can you have someone guide me to an Alchemy Room?"

"You are... an Alchemist?" The woman found Eren even more confusing. This man was an Alchemist? Why wasn't he associated with the Alchemy Hall then?

"Ah, right away."

Only when she saw Eren glaring at her, she commanded a person to lead Eren to an empty Alchemy Room.

....

Zia checked the Phoenix once more and cast a few protective measures around the room before leaving.

She walked to the main hall and met with the Alchemy Hall Manager.

"Did he leave?"

"If you are talking about the Elder, he hasn't left yet. Instead he..."

She informed everything that happened, including Eren asking for an Alchemy Room

"Hmm? What would he do with that? Does he think it's children's play? That fool will only waste the herbs."

Zia found Eren's action to be very childish. It was no different than Eren looking down on Alchemy.

Just because she became his disciple, did he really go crazy and start thinking that he was some great Alchemy Grandmaster?

"I will check on him myself," she told the young woman while leaving to check on Eren.

Soon, she was in front of the room assigned to Eren. She pushed the door open and entered the room.

"This...."
