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

"You should rest more!"

Xiu Ying called out to Eren, who stood up right after consuming a healing pill. The pill was effective in healing a person, but even this could not heal his body instantly.

Most of his wounds were slowly closing, but the pain was still extreme. In this condition, one wasn't supposed to move as it slowed down the healing, but Eren didn't follow through.

"I am fine. It's just a little pain. But more than that, I need to go somewhere."

He pushed the door open, but the moment he looked outside, he stopped in his tracks. He had momentarily forgotten that his house was at the edge of the cliff, and he could not fly.

'Which idiot makes his house at a place like this when they can't fly?!' he cursed in his mind, but he already knew the answer to his question. That idiot was none other than him. Or rather, it was his predecessor in this body.

"On second thought, I am still a little hurt. Can you help me once more?" he turned to Xiu Ying. "Can you take me to Great Elder Zia?"

"Great Elder Zia? Did something happen to your phoenix?" Xiu Ying asked, quite surprised.

Great Elder Zia was another Great Elder like Xiu Ying. She was the Head of the beastmaster department in the Sect as well as the best alchemist in the sect.

Since Eren did not need another healing pill, there was only one reason he would see someone like that. It was if something had happened to his phoenix.

Great Elder Zia was the most knowledgeable person in the sect when it came to beasts. As she also knew alchemy, she was also able to do much more than an ordinary beast master.

That's why she was also the only one who was allowed to take care of the Sect Master's Mythical Beast as well.

"She was hurt when we were fighting the Sea Dragon. She was heavily bleeding and I had to use a secret martial skill to temporarily stop the bleeding and keep her safe. But I still need to get her treated."

Eren could not tell her about the inventory, but he also knew that Xiu Ying was not going to ask more questions than needed. As long as he gave even the slightest plausible explanation, she was going to believe him.

Moreover, she had already seen many more unbelievable things happen to him. This much was nothing.

Just as he expected, Xiu Ying did not question him. She placed her arm around his waist.

At first, Eren was supposed to send her back since she was supposed to be in house arrest. But currently he had no other choice.

"Try to make sure that we aren't seen along the way. You can drop me near her resistance. I will handle the rest."

"Nonsense. I will take you to meet her. If you are alone, she might not even see you."

"She won't? But I am an Elder?"

"She is a little rude in that regard. She won't pay attention to you even if you are an Elder. Many Elders already line up to meet her to buy pills, so her ego is a little..." Xiu Ying did not continue her sentence but her meaning was clear.

"But you are supposed to be under house arrest. If you are seen..."

"Don't worry. My house arrest should already have ended by now."

Xiu Ying flew through the sky, not caring about anything else.

Unlike the other Great Elders, Zia was not someone who stayed inside the Core Region. She was given her own mountain outside the Core Region, mainly so she could be closer to the Beast Hall and Alchemy Hall.

The mountain where she stayed was also named after her. It was called Mount Zia.

Beast Hall was halfway up Mount Zia's South side. Meanwhile, the Alchemy Hall was halfway up Mount Zia's northern side.

"I think we already flew past the Beast Hall, didn't we?" Eren called out, noticing that they had already flown past their destination.

They were still flying towards the peak of the mountain.

"We are not going to the Beast Hall. She probably won't be there. So I will take you to her home directly."

Soon, Xiu Ying reached the peak of the mountain, where a more luxurious courtyard existed.

In front of the courtyard, there was a beautiful garden which was filled with the rarest of herbs that were used by Great Elder Zia for her alchemy.

Xiu Ying landed in front of the courtyard with Eren. "Wait right here. I will talk to her. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes."

She opened the door and entered the courtyard while Eren waited outside.

Xiu Ying searched through the courtyard, trying to find Great Elder Zia.

"Is she not here?" she thought out loud as she failed to find the woman in the courtyard. She started checking through the other rooms.

....

Outside Great Elder Zia's Courtyard, Eren was pacing back and forth. His body was still aching all over the place, but his wounds had completely healed.

Only occasionally cracking sounds came from his bones as they adjusted to their right place.

Eren stretched his arms, trying to test the extent of his current healing.

"May I ask what you are doing here?"

A voice came from behind Eren.

Eren turned around and looked at the source of the voice.

"Hmm? A child?"

He saw a little girl that looked like she was no more than fifteen years old.

"Are you the disciple of Great Elder Zia?" Eren asked the girl.

He had read in the novel that Great Elder Zia had a great temper and didn't like people approaching her courtyard. Only her disciple was allowed a free entry.

"Why would I be a disciple?" The girl asked, her lips twitched in frustration.

"If you are not a disciple, you really shouldn't be here," Eren told the other girl. "If you came here to ask for a pill, you should go to the Alchemy Hall."

"If Great Elder Zia saw you here, with her extreme temper, she might ban you from the Alchemy Hall forever."

Eren patted the head of the little girl.

"Leave before that witch catches you."
