My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 382 - : Digging a bigger hole
From the moment she entered the Holy City, Xiu Ying had heard a lot of rumors. Many people were talking about the two great elders who had arrived as guests, claiming they were lovers.
At that time, she didn't think much about it. Although the Demon Sect had many Great Elders, none of them were supposed to be here.
She thought some people might be pretending to be Great Elders of the Demon Sect to take advantage of the Holy Empire. She was even planning to teach them a lesson for faking their identities.
She arrived at the hall, expecting to make a scene, but the moment she saw those two people, she froze in place. One of them was Great Elder Zia, and the other was her lover Eren.
She was informed that Eren had temporarily left the Demon Sect, but his destination was unknown. She never imagined him to be in the Western Continent.
Even worse, he was not alone. He was with Great Elder Zia? While she was worrying about him, he was having fun with Zia, making a name for himself as a lecherous man?
When she looked at Eren, all the rumors she had heard along the way appeared in her head. Her heart felt pain like never before.
She didn't say anything to Eren. She didn't even take a single step inside.
After a long period of silence, she turned around, her face appearing completely expressionless, as if she had been truly heartbroken.
"Wait a minute!" Eren, still disguised as the Holy Emperor, chased after Xiu Ying. He understood what Xiu Ying was thinking, even if she didn't say anything.
Xiu Ying walked away from the Royal Palace. Even though she had come to investigate the disappearance of the Elders, she didn't think about that at the moment. For now, she simply wanted to be alone.
While she was leaving, she wondered if Eren was going to chase after her to explain. Deep down, even though she was angry, she was hoping for him to come after her to explain.
After some time, she looked back towards the Palace, hoping to see Eren coming after her. Unfortunately, she didn't find him there. It was as if he didn't even care about her in the slightest.
Instead, it was the Holy Emperor, who was chasing after her. She didn't understand why an unknown man was coming after her but she was not in the mood to talk with anyone, even if it was for work.
The Guards who were stationed outside the Palace watched Eren chase after the woman of the Demon Sect. Once again, they were confused about the Holy Emperor's strange behavior but they didn't stop him.
If anything, it was the Cardinal who tried to approach Eren. Did the Holy Emperor even know the name of the woman? He wondered. Did it mean he was much closer to the Demon Sect than they thought?
He tried to go after the Holy Emperor, only to be stopped by Eren's clone and Zia. Both of them started talking to him, saying they wanted to discuss something.
Even if Cardinal Treniel wanted to leave, he wasn't allowed to leave. He was kept distracted.
"Xiu Ying, stop! You are misunderstanding!" Eren called out to Xiu Ying when he reached a place which was scarcely populated.
There were no people in the area as they had reached near the exit of the city.
Xiu Ying, hearing another man call her name, fumed in anger. Turning around, she sliced with her finger, sending out a Qi Blade, not caring if it was a commoner or the Holy Emperor who was chasing after her.
"Calm down!" Eren barely dodged the blade that came for him like lightning. He also increased his speed, using acceleration to appear in front of Xiu Ying.
"That blade was a warning for me. Since you don't appreciate it, then let me send you to the afterlife!" Xiu Ying grew even more serious.
If the man was trying to antagonize her, then she was willing to teach him manners. All the anger that she had for Eren was now directed towards the Holy Emperor.
She attacked the Holy Emperor who once again used Acceleration to dodge the attack. Instead, the attack hit nearby buildings, making many of them crumbling down.
"Stop attacking!" Eren appeared right behind Xiu Ying, grabbing both her hands, holding them restricted behind her.
Even though Xiu Ying was previously stronger than him, after his recent streak of leveling, Eren's stats had increased by a lot. They were much higher than Xiu Ying who was taken aback that she couldn't even free her hand from this man's grip.
"I will kill you!" Xiu Ying exclaimed, only for Eren to spank her butt.
"Are you seriously talking about killing your husband? Since when did you become so bad?" he asked, his tone being extremely familiar.
Eren also changed his disguise to a small extent, making his voice return to normal so Xiu Ying could recognise him.
"That voice... How...?" Xiu Ying recognised that voice, growing shocked. She remembered seeing Eren with Xia. How could this person be Eren?
At the same time, the way this person talked was also identical. It was as if he was really Eren.
Eren brought his lips closer to Xiu Ying's ears and whispered, "I am Eren. The person who was standing with Zia was just a clone."
He explained, "A lot of things had happened and I can't tell you here. However, none of the rumors about me are true. They were intentionally spread by me."
"So that was not you?" Xiu Ying's eyes lit up as she heard the confirmation that the person with Zia wasn't him. Her jealousy slowly calmed down and her resistance stopped.
"Of course that was not me. That was just an act," Eren told her before releasing her hand.
Xiu Ying turned back to him, feeling very relieved. However when she looked at him, her expressions again darkened. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"If you're... That means the one proposing to the Holy Priestess was you?!" she asked, her temper flaring even more.
While trying to escape from Zia's situation, Eren had confessed that he was the one proposing to the Holy Priestess, something which he hadn't even done to her yet.

When he heard her question, Eren was also at a loss.
