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

"Someone attempted to kill my disciple. What makes you think that you will be the one to decide the punishment?" Eren asked, his voice brimming with authority.

"But the sword-" Frost Demon attempted to speak, only to be abruptly silenced by Eren's interruption.

"The sword is not an apology from him. It is as an apology for you, for your failure in properly instructing your disciple," Eren answered, his words laced with disappointment and reprimand.

In any other circumstance, anyone who dared interrupt his sentence would face the wrath of his anger. They would have been killed.

However, in this situation, the Frost Demon didn't have such freedom unless he wanted to lose his disciple.

Normally, the Frost Demon didn't care about his disciple this much. But Ye Liang had never failed to surprise him with his cultivation and growth.

He even mastered some really difficult skills in a short time, as if he had some external help. In Frost Demon's eyes, it was pure talent. He didn't know about the existence of a system.

It was only because of this assumed talent, Frost Demon was paying such attention to this new disciple of his. He even gave him the communication crystal that he had never given to his other disciples.

He believed that Ye Liang could become the strongest cultivator of this continent with his talent. For him, it was only a matter of time. That was... Unless he died before that.

No matter what, Frost Demon did not want to lose his disciple, so he controlled his anger.

Fortunately, there was no one else to watch this scene. Or they would have been stunned to see the Frost Demon being treated like this.

After the Blood Demon Zhang Wei, Frost Demon was the most well known Elder of this sect. And now, a new Elder who hasn't even been here for a year was scolding him?

"What punishment do you want to give him in that case?" Frost Demon tried to calm himself by taking a deep breath. He had never found himself in a situation like this.

A hint of a smirk appeared on Eren's lips, but it was so subtle that no one noticed it.

He looked at the Main Character, who was clearly furious but he was trying his hardest to not reveal his emotions.

Even though he couldn't die thanks to his last life saving measure, but if possible, he didn't want to have you use it.

'Just look at this brat. No fear in his eyes. If I hadn't read the Novel, I really would have thought that he was brave even in the face of death.'

'If I hadn't known about the thing he received when he first awakened his system, I really would have tried to kill him. But if I do that, that thing will activate on its own when he is on the verge of death.'

'What an annoying treasure. If it activated, he would be taken through space into another continent. Even I might not be able to find him then. If I lost this boy, it would only make things more troublesome for me.'

'But you really did something that you never should have done. At first, I wanted to stay away from you as much as possible. I didn't want to have anything to do with you, other than stealing every opportunity from you.'

'But since you are so eager to come and be an annoying pest, then so be it. I will make sure to put you to good use, my dear main character...'

Ye Liang watched Eren looking at him. He didn't know why, but a bad feeling started rising deep within his heart suddenly. It was as if a predator was looking at him, just waiting to devour him whole.

"I have decided on his punishment! First, he will have to apologize to my disciple. And second..." Eren paused briefly, the corner of his lips crept up. "The Sect Master assigned an important task for me. For that task, I am to lead the disciples."

"You want my disciple to take part in that?" The Frost Demon asked.

"While I do want him to accompany me, it is not as a participating disciple," Eren responded. "As his second punishment, he will serve me as a servant during this expedition."

"I do need someone to take care of some pesky matters for me after all. From this moment until the end of the expedition, he will be my servant."

"You!" The Frost Demon thought that Eren wanted his disciple to take part in the mission for the sect, but he only wanted him as a servant?

He couldn't fathom why Eren would want to use another Elder's personal disciple as a mere servant. Was this an attempt to humiliate him?

"You have the choice to accept this punishment, or we can resort to more drastic measures," Eren provocatively suggested. "Considering the size of the mountain, I am confident I can find a suitable place to bury you two..."

His smile widened as added, "Would you prefer the peak of the mountain or the bottom? Personally, I find the south-facing side to be quite appealing. You'll have a splendid view of the sunset in the afterlife."

Frost Demon interjected, "Do not go too far!"

"We have already gone past the point of 'too far' the moment someone tried to hurt my disciple. This is me being merciful, but you can refuse if you want. I won't force you. I'm not a demon after all."

Eren's innocent expression and taunting words were making Frost Demon even more angry. He was trying his hardest to control his anger.

Eren could even see that his fists were clenched so tightly that drops of blood were falling to the ground.

All these drops were freezing before they could even touch the floor, eventually shattering into multiple blood shards.

Eren didn't care about Frost Demon's anger and pushed forth.

"As you may know, I don't have much patience. On the count of three, I will crush this rude disciple's neck."
