Chapter 713 - RW 1.8

"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," Han Shun vowed. He was the strongest immortal in this world. But he rarely did anything because he felt nothing in this world mattered anyway. 

As an immortal that already forgotten how long he lived, Han Shun had no attachment to this world or anyone. 

He should've stayed nonchalant in the past, but because he started caring for his Plum Blossom Immortal Sect and all the disciples, he got betrayed and left to rot alone in agony.

He learned his lesson, rather than taking care of ungrateful bastards, he might as well use them for his benefit, like baiting those demonic sect members and sacrificing his own disciples in the process, just for the fun of it. 

Meanwhile, Bai Shijue was surprised by Master Han Shun's somewhat nonchalant behavior. He thought his Master would leave and start a mass purging of those demons. 

"Master, you're not going to start hunting them?" Bai Shijue asked. He was baffled by his Master Han Shun. When he first entered this sect, he always thought his master was a benevolent immortal. 

"I'll dispatch more of high-ranked disciples to start searching for those demons. Isn't that enough? Or you have another idea?"

Bai Shijue swallowed his saliva nervously. He didn't want Master Han Shun to be suspicious of himself. So he just shook his head, "Nothing, Master…."

"Then I shall leave now. Don't worry about your body. You will be fine tomorrow morning," Han Shun said. He left the room, and Bai Shijue's pitiful look turned fierce immediately.

He glared at his Master's shadow behind the screen door and cursed, "Heartless bastard, you will pay for what you did to me." 

—!Cut!—

"Okay, that's the end of the scene! Another perfect cut! We don't need any retake!" As he checked in the recording, Director Shen said it was so perfect that taking a new cut would definitely ruin the immersion. 

He had to admit that Han Ye and Bai Yunyu had this certain chemistry, like two people who hate and love each other at the same time. They spoke with their eyes to each other, showing that complicated love, a mix between hatred and longing. 

'Hmm… maybe I should ask Yunyu to play in a BL series. He is definitely going to be amazing in it. But not with Han Ye, of course. He is a movie emperor that's way too popular to play a controversial genre like Boys Love."

Just like before, Han Ye left without saying a word. Yunyu could only lower his gaze when their eyes met after the scene ended, afraid that his gaze might have disturbed Han Ye Gege.

Yunyu tried to remember how many scenes he had today with Han Ye Gege. 

Bai Shijue only appeared in two episodes, but he had a long screen time in those two episodes and was generally the center of the story with Master Han Shun before getting killed off.

"Alright, you should get ready for your next scene. This scene will be you and Huang Ming, the Frozen Flower Demonic Sect leader. This scene will be you accept the offer from Huang Ming, so the demon sect can ambush Han Shun during his weakest state."

Yunyu prepared himself for this scene. This scene was with another actor who played Huang Ming. 

—!Action!—

Bai Shijue morphed from a squirrel back to his human form. He was in the middle of the Forest of the Lost Mist because he had a meeting here with someone dangerous. 

Of course, anyone who dared to enter Forest of the Lost Mist without any guide or at least the ability to defend themselves from the celestial beasts would die has those beasts' snack, so Bai Shijue didn't worry about getting followed by anyone. 

"I'm here," Bai Shijue said. 

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the leaves around Bai Shijue, a dark mist emerged in front of Shijue, forming into a human shape.

A man came out of the dark mist and smirked at Bai Shijue, "Hah, as expected, you will come to me in the end."

"Cut your useless babbling. I'm here for the deal," Bai Shijue said. There was no trace of that gentle and cute Bai Shijue that everybody in his sect knew.

This Bai Shijue looked cold and somewhat malicious. Even Huang Ming had respect for this young man.

"Wow, you're the first one to ever shut me up like that. Tsk, tsk, young man, you really have some guts."

"I'm not here to listen to you saying a nonsensical thing. I'm here for the deal," Bai Shijue said.

"Okay, okay, relax~" Huang Ming chuckled. He was honestly interested in this young man. Because it took a certain amount of hatred and dark thought to betray your own master, who took you in and treated you kindly since you were young. 

Huang Ming snapped his fingers, and a dark scroll appeared in his hand. He threw it to Bai Shijue, and Bai Shijue hurriedly tried to open it to no avail.

Huang Ming laughed, "Young man, that's a forbidden art scroll. You will not be able to open it unless you have killed someone important in your life. That's why, if we can kill Han Shun, then you will be qualified to open that forbidden scroll."

"Though, it makes me wonder, why would you be interested in learning forbidden blood art? You're Han Shun's direct disciple, right? You can ask for everything that you want with him."

"No, I will never take anything coming from him, not after I found out about the truth," Bai Shijue said. "I naturally have a weak constitution and not fitting to be a cultivator. Forbidden art is the only way for me to be strong."

"Even with the expense of killing your own Shifu?"

"That doesn't matter. He doesn't care whether anyone died. He is a bored immortal.. Might as well get something out of it so I can get strong."
