Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Between me and her

It was the middle of the night when Eren's eyes slowly fluttered open.

He felt the weight of Feng Yu's head resting against his shoulder, slightest taken aback. Still, he didn't disturb her and let her sleep. This was the rest that she deserved.

He waited for her to wake up, while wondering what the Ancestral Elders were going to plan. He had already sent Yelen to keep an eye on them to find out what they were planning.

Even though he trusted Feng Yu's plan, he trusted his own abilities more. It was even better since Yelen was someone that couldn't be noticed by others unless she used her abilities.

Even Feng Yu didn't know about Yelen yet, let alone the Ancestral Elders. With someone to spy on the Ancestral Elders, he didn't have to worry about the unknown.

Not long after, Feng Yu also woke up, feeling extremely relaxed. She didn't know why, but ever since she had been with Eren, she had been having good sleep that she rarely had in the past.

She raised her head, yawning without realizing that Eren was also awake. It was only when she looked in his direction and saw him looking at her that she realized.

She didn't show embarrassment, only maintaining a calm exterior. "How long have you been awake?"

"Not long," Eren answered, innocently smiling. It was true that he had only been awakened for half an hour, and it couldn't be called much.

"If you were awake, why don't you wake me up?" Feng Yu asked.

"You were sleeping so peacefully. You also looked so beautiful when you were sleeping. How could I bear to wake you up?" Eren responded, not missing the opportunity to compliment her.

It wasn't as if he was lying either, as he did believe that she looked extremely beautiful when she was sleeping. Even though she didn't have the seductive charm of Xiu Ying or the aura of innocence that Yelen possessed, she had her own charm.

"Are you saying that I don't look beautiful when I am awake?" Feng Yu asked, only to grow stunned at her own words. She couldn't believe that she actually said such a thing, as if she was begging for compliments.

She quickly turned her head to another direction, not letting him see her face.

"I will bring my disciple to the palace. Don't worry, she won't find your presence."

As the Palace was huge, it was easy for him to hide the presence of Feng Yu, especially with the seal in the main hall.

Watching his leave, Feng Yu didn't know what to say. She just looked at his back as a portal opened before him that connected to his mountain.

"Between me and Xiu Yin..." she said suddenly as Eren was about to step inside the portal.

"Did you say something?" Eren turned around, not hearing her words clearly.

"It's nothing." Feng Yu didn't continue her question, shaking her head lightly.

Although confused, Eren didn't dwell on it. He stepped inside the portal that he had opened with the help of the Sect Master's ring.

With the ring, travel inside the sect had become a lot easier. He was sure that if he had the ring in the past he wouldn't have such a hard time when trying to kill the Frost Demon Elder and the main character.

He appeared in front of his disciple's house which was right next to the house that she had made for him.

"Hmm? Why is there a third house here?" he frowned, scratching the back of his head. "Just what is that brat doing here instead of cultivating? Is she trying to create an entire city on the mountain?"

There were only two people who were supposed to live on the mountain, but now there were three houses even if he was to ignore that deathly courtyard of his at the edge of the cliff.

Shaking his head, he entered the courtyard where Yu Lin lived.

"Lin'er?" he called out, walking through the corridor.

"Master!" A voice came from the direction of the bathroom.

The door suddenly opened and a young girl stepped out, her body wrapped in a thin layer of a towel that was barely enough to cover her.
