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

"If only I could find a way to read those novels as well. At least then, I would have a rough understanding of what I am going to face."

He knew what kind of threat the Main Character in the Eastern Continent was. Although Ye Liang had a system, but it was a novel where he went from weak to strong.

Even with the system, he took quite a lot of time to grow strong enough to become a threat. He also had many opportunities to become stronger along the way.

As long as Eren kept an eye on him, not only could he stop him from becoming a threat, but also use him to his own benefit.

On the other hand, he didn't know what kind of people the Main Characters from the other three novels were. All he could do was take a guess from the titles, which was oftentimes misleading.

The only person who knew about the other three books was the author, who stubbornly refused to accept that he was the author.

"Should I send someone to the other continents to investigate those places?" he wondered aloud. "No, it will only become a liability. If that person is caught, it would only lead to more trouble for me."

"First, I need to consolidate my own strength in the Eastern Continent. Then, I need to enter the Hero Academy to steal the item that can unseal me."

"So far, everything seems to be stable. But with my luck, I really can't be sure of anything. I just hope nothing derails my plans..."

He glanced back at the bed, where the heavy Elder's robe lay waiting for him. He hadn't even worn it yet, but he already felt exhausted.

"Before anything else, I need to clean up the remaining sects. Only then can I get the Sect Master off my back and gain some freedom."

He picked up the heavy robe and draped it over his shoulders.

"Celeste, we are going out."

Hearing his voice, Celeste flew to him and sat on his shoulder.

Eren stepped out of the house. He was assigned a task by the Sect Master. He had full authority over the task.

Even the Mission Hall couldn't do anything about it. All he had to do was have the sect disciples gather for this mission.

To make sure that things went smoother, he had already decided to take all the Core Disciples and Inner Disciples.

"With the Core Disciples, I won't even need to intervene unnecessarily," he thought. "It would also be a good opportunity to level up while conserving my strength."

Before going to the Mission Hall, he landed in front of Yu Lin's courtyard to check up on her. He had even thought about taking her with him.

It could be a form of training for her. When seeing the Core Disciples fight, she could learn a lot of things.

He opened the door and stepped inside, soon finding Yu Lin in her room. She was sitting on the bed, with the Breathing Skill Book lying next to her.

"Not bad. Instead of focusing on the Elemental Skill, she is improving her Qi Breathing Skill."

Not only did she understand the essence of the breathing skill, but she was also absorbing all the Qi from her surroundings greedily. She looked like she was on the verge of a breakthrough.

He didn't interrupt her. An opportunity like this was rare, especially since she had only received this skill the previous night.

He thought about waiting for her, but it could take too much time. He didn't even know when she was going to finish.

In the end, he decided to give up on the thought of taking her along. Instead, he wrote a letter telling her that he was going out for some time.

He placed the letter on the table in the room before leaving.

Next, he went to the foot of the mountain. There, Ye Liang was sleeping, using a bag of herbs as a pillow.

Eren stored the bags filled with herbs in his storage ring before pulling the last bag that was being used as a pillow.

Ye Liang hit his head on the ground, immediately waking up from his slumber and seeing the beautiful sky above.

"And here I thought it was all a dream," he said, rubbing the back of his head while standing up.

"Dreams don't take long before becoming nightmares," Eren told the young man as he turned around.

"Elder Ren, greetings." Ye Liang greeted the man who was supposed to be killed by him.

"Enough with the greetings. I am leaving and you are coming with me." Eren grabbed the young man by the collar and flew higher into the sky.

....

Eren reached the Mission Hall, but to his surprise, the leader of the Mission Hall was already waiting outside for him.

"Elder Ren, I received a message that you would be coming today," the bearded man said as he handed Eren a thick book that looked like it had over a thousand pages.

"This is...?" Eren asked, confused.

"This is the list of all the disciples, ranking them from strongest to weakest depending on their cultivation and strength," the old man explained.

"The disciples who are not currently in the sect are marked with a dot in front of their names. Excluding them, you can select anyone."

"I see. The Sect Master already informed you," Eren said, opening the book and checking the first page which listed the core disciples.

"Is there a limitation on how many disciples I can select?" he asked.

The old man shook his head. "I wasn't informed about any such limitations. If you want, you can take all of them."

"Unfortunately, the ship taking you has a limit of only a thousand people. If you can arrange other methods, you can take everyone with you."

"A thousand would be enough in that case. I will take-"

Eren had already made up his mind. He wanted quality over quantity. He only wanted the strongest disciples. But just as he was about to express his desire, he heard a familiar sound.

A screen appeared before him with four options.

"Really now?" he muttered as he read the options.
