Chapter 717 - RW 1.12

—!Action!—

"I already know what is inside your pocket, Bai Shijue. You stole my mortal stone, right?" Han Shun said. "Do you really think I cannot sense where my mortal stone went to? Such an idiot."

Bai Shijue's face paled, and his leg trembled as he realized that he wasn't safe anymore. 

What Han Shun referred to as Mortal Stone was the stone in his pocket that could turn an immortal into a mortal for a brief moment. This stone was buried deep inside the Plum Blossom courtyard, and only Han Shun and Bai Shijue knew the location of the buried stone. 

Bai Shijue's plan was to attack Han Shun with the Mortal Stone and turn him into a mortal for a brief moment, so Huang Ming could kill Han Shun easily. 

Han Shun scoffed and pulled the Mortal Stone from Bai Shijue's pocket. He crushed it with his hand, making the supposed weakness of the strongest immortal, a speck of dust, "This kind of idiotic weakness of mine. I just want to be more grounded with those mortal and low-grade immortals who could die. I can just crush this stone and be the most powerful immortal forever."

Bai Shijue was completely astonished and scared of what Master Han Shun would do to him, especially when he saw that glare from Master Han Shun. 

Bai Shijue took a step back with his trembling legs and pale face, "M—Master Han Shun, I never want to betray you, I swear—"

PA!

Han Shun suddenly took one step forward and raised his palm. He slapped Bai Shijue so hard on the cheek that Bai Shijue started bleeding from his nose. 

"AH!" Bai Shijue slumped on the ground with stinging pain in his face. Fresh blood streamed down from his nose as he got a nosebleed after that hard slap.

**

[Ack! Okay, that one feels so personal! He slapped me for real!]

[Ouch, my nose is bleeding, this is so painful, Wuwuwu.]

[Pupa, where are you? I need you to deliver justice to him. He's such a bad man. This is domestic violence!]

Everyone in the studio gasped when they saw fresh blood coming from Yunyu's nose because it wasn't intentional. 

In the script, Han Shun did slap Bai Shijue until he fell to the ground. But it'd be a sound effect that made it, not a real hard slap like that. 

"What the heck! Bai Yunyu is hurting there, Director, please stop the camera—"

"Wait, don't stop it," Director Shen ordered while continued staring at Bai Yunyu and Han Ye. "I don't know what happened between them, but those two want to continue this scene, believe me."

Huang Jinren was distressed, but what Director Shen said was correct. Bai Yunyu and Han Ye continued their acting.

**

Bai Shijue's body trembled all over as he looked at his Master, Han Shun. 

"M—Master… why?"

"Why? You betrayed me and tried to kill me, and you still ask why?" Han Shun started to get angry at this young man. He called him Little Plum before because he really thought Bai Shijue was a good person, as fresh as a little budding plum. 

But he was actually a green tea bitch. 

Bai Shijue knew that it was his fault, of course. But he couldn't help it. He was so angry when he realized the truth about himself and Han Shun. 

Now that their bond had been destroyed, Bai Shijue had no need to act sweet anymore. 

"Han Shun, you don't know how much torment I bear. You're the villain here, not me," Bai Shijue looked up and glared at Han Shun. "You're the source of my suffering."

"I don't care about your useless talk, Bai Shijue. You should die in this Forest of Lost Mist, eaten by a celestial beast."

Bai Shijue's eyes widened. He bit his lower lip but refused to beg for forgiveness at this point. He knew that he was beyond saving, but he wanted to have the last laugh, so he suddenly smirked at Han Shun and said, "Master Han Shun, I am the closest thing you have as an emotion. After my death, you will be another heartless immortal forever."

"I would rather be a heartless immortal than staying with a monster like you, Bai Shijue," Han Shun turned around. He clenched his fist, and the scream from Bai Shijue filled the quiet forest. 

Han Shun broke Bai Shijue's legs and wrist, making sure that he couldn't do anything, "Goodbye, Little Plum."

—!Cut!—

After the cue from Director Shen, the medic rushed to Bai Yunyu because the blood kept on flowing from his nose, and his face was bruised purple-blue. 

Han Ye really beat Yunyu. It wasn't acting anymore, yet, the man didn't even apologize. He just turned his back and walked away.

Nobody dared to reprimand Han Ye for what he did because he was the movie emperor, not this nobody new kid called Bai Yunyu. 

Huang Jinren was angry. He stomped his feet towards Han Ye and pushed his chest, "Han Ye! What did you do to him!"

"I beat him," Han Ye said coldly. 

"What the—why don't you apologize, you idiot!" 

"I have no need to apologize. It is part of the acting," Han Ye said. But everybody knew that the slap was definitely personal. 

"You-You're bullying him!" Huang Jinren yelled, but Han Ye didn't seem to care at all. 

"If you don't have anything important to say, then excuse me," Han Ye just sidestepped Jinren and walked away as if he did nothing in the scene. 

"Han Ye!" Huang Jinren was about to catch up to Han Ye again when Yunyu suddenly called him. 

"J—Jinren Gege, I'm okay, please don't disturb him!" Yunyu said while he was being treated by the medic. 

Huang Jinren turned his head at Yunyu, whose face was bruised purple-blue. His heart was pained to see a good young man like Yunyu getting bullied by his senior. 

"What do you mean you're okay? Don't you see your face?!"

"J—Jinren Gege, please, please don't make too much ruckus for Han Ye Gege. I'm okay, really!" Yunyu begged for Huang Jinren. He was afraid that Han Ye Gege might get into trouble because he beat him. "T—This is just a small bruise. It's part of the acting! Don't you see how good my acting was? Hehe…"

The more Yunyu tried to protect Han Ye, the more painful Huang Jinren's heart got. Everyone in the set also pitied Yunyu. Technically, he could call the press and tell everyone that he had been abused in the set by Han Ye.

Although it might kill his budding career, it would inevitably dim Han Ye's career as well, knowing how big Han Ye's fan club was. 

Director Shen sighed and walked towards Yunyu, "Yunyu, can you get up now?"

"Yes, I can, Uncle!" Yunyu tried to look strong because he didn't want Han Ye Gege to get into trouble because of him. "Look, I'm all fine! Please just forget about this accident. It's because Han Ye Gege is a great actor. Um.... a method actor, yes, he is a method actor! That's why he doesn't realize his strength. He must've been into his character so much!"
