"Okay, time to deafen my ears from Han Ye scolding soon." 

Jia Jie sighed as she walked towards Han Ye's room. Her legs trembled a bit, knowing that Han Ye would lash out at her. Although he never went physical, his words still hurt a lot. 

Jia Jie opened the door and saw Han Ye sitting with his legs crossed. He leaned on the chair, reading the script of his next scene. He glanced at Jia Jie for a moment before returning to his script. 

"So, you summoned me, right? Do you want me to do something?" Jia Jie asked. She wasn't intimidated by Han Ye since she worked with him for seven years straight.

But Han Ye still had that bearing that made her scared when he was angry or annoyed. 

"Did that trash slept with Director?"

"Huh?"

"What? Do I need to repeat myself?" Han Ye's ruthless question astonished Jia Jie until she was speechless. She didn't know that Han Ye could be that cruel. 

"W—What are you talking about?" Jia Jie asked back.

"That trash has nothing to do but disturb me every day. I think you already know that I never like him," Han Ye said. 

"B—But that doesn't mean he's untalented. Why would you ask that he might sleep with the Director? The Director gave him that role fair and square!" Jia Jie couldn't help but defend Yunyu in this one. What Han Ye said was seriously uncalled for and so cruel.

She knew how much Yunyu trained every day during his free time after helping Han Ye, he could sleep on the floor while reciting the lines for the audition, and he earned it fair and square. Director Shen wasn't someone who would give a role in exchange for one night together. 

"Director Shen even told me that Yunyu is talented!"

"I don't need you to compliment trash. Even if you put decorations in a piece of junk, it will still be a piece of junk," Han Ye said. "I don't care what you say about him being talented and stuff. All of you have been influenced by his fake bright smile."

Jia Jie was again left speechless by Han Ye's ruthlessness. He wasn't even treating Yunyu like a human, even though all Yunyu did was help him through his journey as the hottest movie emperor in China. 

"That trash might have slept with Director Shen to get his role, don't be fooled," Han Ye said. "You can leave now. Asking you doesn't give me an answer."

"I already answered you, Han Ye! Bai Yunyu got the role fair and square! Why are you so stubborn about this!?"

"And why are you so vehemently trying to defend him?" Han Ye asked in a low but sharp voice. 

"Because he is a good kid!"

"Because you're gullible," Han Ye sighed. "Leave now. I have to read this script first before the next scene."

Jia Jie gritted her teeth and turned around. She didn't understand why Han Ye hated Yunyu so much. That kid never did him any harm! At this point, she should've told Yunyu that he shouldn't be idolizing Han Ye anymore.

But that kid was too stubborn and blind with his fan attitude.

Meanwhile, Yunyu was getting his makeup done by Auntie Shu, "How's my acting, Auntie Shu?"

"Aiya, you're so good! Great! My daughter will be happy seeing Bai Shijue on the television!" Auntie Shu praised while making some fake bruises on Yunyu's face. 

"Hehe, thank you so much, Auntie!" Yunyu giggled happily. "I hope Mr. Han Ye doesn't mind me at all…."

"Aish, don't think much about him. He always looks cold from the outside, right? I'm sure he doesn't mind you. It's just his professionalism."

"Mm…"

**

Bai Yunyu and Han Ye came simultaneously to Director Shen, "Uncle Shen, I'm ready!" Yunyu said while showing his newly bruised face. "How is it? Am I believable enough?"

"Aiya! Yunyu, who beat you? Tell Uncle Shen, I will beat him to death! Hahahahah!"

Yunyu and Director Shen laughed heartily, but Han Ye was still cold-faced and looked pissed off for some reason. 

"Okay, get ready for the next scene. This will be Bai Shijue returning to the sect with wounds and bruises. He created a scene in the sect, and Master Han Shun carried him to his room to be treated."

—!Action!—

Bai Shijue was lying weakly on the bed as Master Han Shun carried him to his room. His body was beaten, and he could barely feel his body after so many beatings. 

Those demon sect members were able to somehow catch him off guard while he was traversing around the mortal town to buy his own supplies. He was beaten and almost killed, but he could save himself at the last minute with the pill that could turn him invisible.

With a broken body, he pushed through. He was able to escape those demonic sect members and returned back to Plum Blossom Immortal Sect. 

"I—I'm so sorry for my carelessness, Master. I tried really hard to avoid them, but they are too—"

"Save your energy; I'll heal you first," Han Shun said. He pulled Bai Shijue's robe and quietly slipped his hand inside Bai Shijue's robe. He placed his palm on Shijue's pearly and smooth chest. He took a deep breath, slowly transferring his energy to health any broken tissues and internal wounds. 

Bai Shijue's shivered because Master Han Shun had never touched his body like this. He was nervous and strangely aroused, although he didn't dare say it aloud. 

[Oh god! Oh yes! I—I mean, oh no! Han Ye Gege is touching my chest, kyaaaaaahh!] 

Yunyu was so excited in his heart that he almost acted out of character. Thankfully, he was well trained after having so many transmigration experiences. 

After healing Bai Shijue, Han Shun asked, "Tell me the detail. You're obviously in grave danger just now. How did you get amused?"

"Um… I was walking around the mortal world with regular human disguises, trying to find some snacks for myself and gather more information about the demonic sect. And when I walked into an empty road, I got ambushed by them."

"Do they know that you're a disciple from Plum Blossom Immortal Sect?"

"Un… at first they didn't. Maybe they just see me as a target since they're terrorizing the town to get more blood for themselves. I was walking outside in the middle of the night before returning to the sect, but I got ambush instead."

"I was cornered, Master… so I have no way out other than eating that invisible pill and running away immediately. I think… after they found that I have that pill, they must've realized that I was a disciple in this sect."

"I'm so sorry for blowing up my guise, Master. I deserve a punishment!" Bai Shijue said. He was ashamed of himself. "I'm sorry for not being strong enough to defend myself…."

Han Shun continued his farce as an oblivious sect leader that cared for Bai Shijue, "It's fine. Your safety is still of the utmost importance.. If they dare to reach the Plum Blossom Immortal Sect, then I will be the one wiping them all."
