Chapter 41: Destined to be the greatest
As Eren had managed to deflect Xiu Ying's charm last time, he wasn't affected by it anymore. But still, even without the charm, the woman was enough to make him feel certain emotions.
"I came here to ask for your help," Eren said as he lightly tried to push the woman away as he didn't want to lose himself at this place.
Unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough to push her away. Although the woman looked weak and relied on charm, it didn't mean that she was weak.
Even without her uncontrollable charm, she was still strong enough to create a path of blood in her wake.
"Even if you want my life, I am willing," Xiu Ying said with a determined voice.
"I don't want your life. I just want you to accompany me as I will be leaving the Sect for a few days."
After unsuccessfully trying to create some distance, Eren finally gave up and let her stay in his embrace.
Hearing his words, Xiu Ying's eyes lit up. In her eyes, didn't this mean he was asking her to come on a date with him?
"Just the two of us?" she asked, trying hard to control her happiness.
"There's no one else I can ask," Eren replied. "It's really important for me. And it can't be no one else but you."
Xiu Ying's heart skipped a beat thanks to Eren's words. The love in her heart flared even more as she wondered if he was going to ask her to marry him on this trip.
At this moment, she didn't care if she was under house arrest. For her, accompanying him was more important than anything else.
"When are we leaving?" she asked.
"If you will be kind enough to release me, then right now." Eren placed his hand on Xiu Ying's shoulder, trying to push her away.
This time, she didn't offer any resistance and listened to him like a good girl.
"I will start preparing right away!"
Meanwhile, within the Mountain Range of the sect, the Phoenix took to the sky, soaring gracefully amongst the clouds.
It flew at a speed that even Eren had not previously experienced.
Typically, the Phoenix would regulate her speed while carrying Eren, ensuring his safety above all else. However, when it came to reuniting with her master, she unleashed her full speed without reservation.
In no time, the Phoenix arrived at the remote location where Eren eagerly awaited her.
Extending his hand towards the Great Elder, Eren invited her to join him.
With a beautiful smile adorning her face, the Great Elder accepted his gesture, and both of them landed on the Phoenix's back, marking the commencement of their extraordinary journey together.

"Junior Brother, this is a dangerous mission. Are you sure you want to take it? Even many seniors haven't managed to complete this mission!"
Back in the sect, the Main Character Ye Liang had finished taking the mission.
The moment the fellow Disciples under his master came to know of the mission he selected, they grew slightly worried.
As they had the same master, they were like brothers. They didn't want to lose the youngest and become a laughingstock in the sect.
"I believe I can complete it." Ye Liang smiled innocently.
Contrary to his outward smile, deep inside his heart, he was quite serious.
'With the help of my System, I'm destined to be the greatest in this world. How can you compare me with the standards of others?'
'So what if they failed? I will succeed! And I will get the reward from the system! No one can stand in my path!'
'I will become stronger by completing the normal missions. And when I'm strong enough, I'll finish the Main Scenario and kill Elder Ren!'
He folded the mission paper and kept it in his pocket and he departed as well.
