Chapter 710 - RW 1.5

As Yunyu was busy looking around, the director, Uncle Shen, called him, "Where's that kid? Ah, YUNYU, COME HERE! TIME TO START!"

Yunyu turned around and saw Uncle Shen waving his hand towards him. There was Han Ye, who looked astonished when Uncle Shen mentioned Yunyu's name. 

The first thing that Yunyu saw was Han Ye Gege looking so handsome with that white-golden robe and his flowing wig that looked so natural. Yunyu's natural reaction was rushing towards Han Ye and praising him, "Whoa! Han Ye Gege looks so handsome! Are you sure you're not a real immortal cultivator? Because you look so ethereal!"

Uncle Shen laughed when Yunyu praised Han Ye to the moon and back. He knew—in fact, everybody knew that Yunyu was the number one fan of Han Ye. He was a loyal fan and a good kid who would help everyone around the movie set whenever he could. 

Uncle Shen patted Yunyu's shoulder, "Han Ye, don't misunderstand. I didn't pick Yunyu because he hangs out around the set a lot. He did the casting fair and square, and I saw his potential. He fits as Bai Shijue the most!"

Uncle Shen knew that Han Ye mostly ignored this kid, much to his confusion. Because Han Ye wasn't that heartless despite having a cold demeanor. 

But Yunyu was a persistent little bun, making Uncle Shen's heart melt into a puddle. He couldn't help but spoil Yunyu a bit, thinking of Yunyu as his own son. 

Han Ye still looked at Yunyu with obvious displeasure in his eyes. He was pissed off as well, but in the end, he stayed professional and turned his back, walking towards the set in silence. 

Yunyu's eyes followed Han Ye Gege, and he looked at Uncle Shen worriedly. He was nervous and scared simultaneously since Han Ye Gege didn't like him.

Uncle Sheen smiled and said, "Don't be scared. Han Ye is a professional. He will do his job, and you should do yours as well."

"Okay, Uncle…"

Yunyu walked to the set that had been prepared this morning. It was a small courtyard with a plum blossom tree in the middle. This was Plum blossom courtyard, Han Shun's personal courtyard. Bai Shijue was allowed to enter because he was an important disciple—no, not because he was powerful or whatsoever. But because the sect leader, Han Shun, saw that Bai Shijue had the potential to be a good student and perhaps, a good teacher in the future.

Han Shun personally picked Bai Shijue as his disciple because of his favorable persona as a bright and cheery student who would do his best despite not being very talented. 

He even allowed Bai Shijue to have his own room here, so Han Shun could personally teach Bai Shijue some cultivation methods in private.

There was no sexual tension between them in the book. They were purely master and disciple. But of course, the fans always found a way to make a BL fan fiction out of it. 

In this scene, Bai Shijue visited his master because of the complaints from the mortals about the attack from the demon sect, but Han Shun didn't know that Bai Shijue was the one directing the attack under the order from the leader of the demon sect. 

—!Action!—

"Master, master!" Bai Shijue rushed to the courtyard. He was catching his breath as if he had run a long way to reach Plum Blossom Courtyard. 

Han Shun raised his brow. He smiled thinly and asked, "Calm down, what makes you like this, Little Plum."

Little Plum was Han Shun's nickname for Bai Shijue. 

Bai Shijue took a deep breath before he reported what he saw in the mortal world, "Master, I—I went to a mortal village just now to buy some snacks for myself, and then I saw... the whole village has been desecrated to the ground, the villagers are all dead!"

"WHAT?!" Han Shun's eyes widened instantly. He enjoyed his time, but this sudden news ruined the whole day for him. "What happened? How could the whole village get massacred? Was it the mortal's doing?"

"N—No, Master! I was so scared because of the corpses lying on the ground, bloodied. They massacred everyone, even the women and children!" Bai Shijue reported. His face paled, and he felt weak. He vomited his guts out due to shock before he came here. 

"B—But there is one young man who barely survives, and he grabbed my leg before his death. He mentioned one name before he died…." Bai Shijue's pale face got even paler as he was about to mention a name feared by many. Even he wasn't immune to this fear. He looked around in fear and then leaned in to whisper on Master Han Shun's ear, 'Frozen Flower Demonic Sect, Master….'

Master Han Shun's gaze darkened as Bai Shijue mentioned that demonic sect name. Because that was the strongest demonic sect that was so destructive, they were difficult to defeat because the leader, Huang Ming, had cultivated for 1000 years to gain his ancient blood demon art. 

In a fair fight, he was no match for Han Shun, but Huang Ming knew his limitation. That was why he avoided confrontation with Han Sun and instead started massacring mortal villages to make a mark of their terror. 

Their art also used blood to feed their hunger, like a vampire. So this kind of massacre was beneficial for them.

"Did you meet any of their followers while returning here?" Han Shun asked.

Bai Shijue shook his head, "I don't think so, Master! You told me to always use my morphing skill to traverse in the Forest of Lost Mist, so I won't get noticed by the mystical beast or other dangerous cultivators! So I mopped into the forest squirrel!"

"Good, they're too dangerous for you to handle," Han Shun nodded. He was relieved that Bai Shijue didn't stumble upon those dangerous cultivators. 

Bai Shijue wasn't powerful, he didn't know how to use destructive art, but he was really good with his deceit and trickery, such as celestial morphing art, that let him transform into various small animals and wouldn't be able to get detected by enemies. 

This was Bai Shijue's first and most important art because Han Shun could see that Little Plum wouldn't survive outside without any way to defend himself. 

"Um… Master, what should we do with them? The mortal world is currently terrorized by that demonic sect, and our Plum Blossom Immortal Sect is the guardian of the mortal world…" Bai Shijue asked. He was worried that more and more would fall into chaos as Master Han Shun continued being ignorant about this problem. 

"We will continue scouting for the potential lead that might bring us to those Frozen Flower demonic sect. Since they kept avoiding us, they are too scared to fight us toe to toe."

"But, how about the mortals…." Bai Shijue was distressed over this. He was also a mortal before he ascended here, so he still had an attachment to the mortal world. 

"Don't worry, I'll send more of our high-ranked disciples to start patrolling around the mortal world, so there will no more of this massacre in the future."
