Han Shun gritted his teeth, "I can't wait to leave this mortal realm and be with Bai Gege all alone in the immortal realm."
Han Shun was thinking about 1001 ways to kill that little shit who dared to be close to Bai Gege. But his vicious imagination was shattered when he heard the footsteps of Bai Gege entering the courtyard.
Han Shun quickly fixed his vicious gaze and turned it into a remorseful one, much to Chinchin's confusion, "Squee?"
"Shut up and climb the tree, Chinchin. I have to talk with Bai Gege here."
"Squee…" Chinchin still didn't understand why Han Shun had to pretend in front of Bai Gege, but the chipmunk was here because of Bai Shijue's handsome real face, so he didn't care whether Han Shun was acting or not.
Bai Shijue entered his courtyard and saw Han Shun sitting under the plum blossom tree. He looked sad, remorseful at what he did. Han Shun darted his eyes at the flower in front of him and fiddled with it gently.
Bai Shijue took a deep breath. He was ready to scold Han Shun and severely punish him. But his anger deflated when he saw Han Shun didn't react when Bai Shijue stood in front of him.
"Han Shun, raise your head," Bai Shijue ordered.
Han Shun meekly raised his head. He looked hesitant to look straight into Bai Gege's eyes.
In fact, Han Shun looked a little scared…
Han Shun quickly lowered his head again, "Bai Gege, I can't look at you now. I'm too ashamed of myself."
"Ashamed?" Bai Shijue was surprised that Han Shun could learn that word. Did Han Shun accidentally hit his head when Bai SHijue was busy healing Han Min just now?
"Bai Gege, I don't know what to say anymore. I knew I was getting jealous of Han Min, and I just want him to know that I'm the one occupying Bai Gege's heart."
"But I didn't mean to hurt him, I swear!" Han Shun stated firmly.
"Bai Gege, I will apologize to him if you want me to—"
"Okay, okay, let's calm down," Bai Shijue said. He also had to calm Han Shun because he didn't expect Han Shun to be so emotional after Bai Shijue scolded him once.
Bai Shijue sat on the ground, facing Han Shun, still looking sad.
"Han Shun, I've healed Han Min's wound just now. I have to use my advanced technique to redo all the internal damage in his body," Bai Shijue said.
Han Shun's eyes widened for a split second. He was shocked that Bai Gege would go so far just to heal that little shit. Bai Gege always told him that he couldn't use his advanced technique in the mortal realm because the punishment would be severe.
But he would use that technique to heal that meaningless little shit?!
Han Shun clenched his fist, but he quickly tried to control himself because he didn't want Bai Gege to notice his anger.
"Han Shun, do you know why I used my advanced technique— despite having such a high risk and punishment for Han Min?"
Han Shun shook his head gently, "Bai Gege, why don't you heal him like a normal human?"
"Because you make a mess," Bai Shijue replied. He sighed deeply, thinking that Han Shun might feel remorse right now. Though in fact, Han Shun still didn't understand Bai Shijue's intention.
"When you're under my teaching, I won't allow you to commit grave offense written by the heaven, and murdering an innocent human, whether it was intentional or not, would smear your name. What you did to Han Min was severe and might kill him," Bai Shijue explained.
"Bai Gege…" Han Shun was lost for words. He didn't expect Bai Gege to sacrifice himself to protect Han Shun from ruining his name to the heavens forever. Not that Han Shun cared so much about it, all he wanted to do was just stay with Bai Gege. He had no intention of becoming a sect leader or even higher than those.
All he wanted to do was to be the shadow that embraced Bai Gege forever.
'See what that little shit just did? He made you look bad in front of Bai Shijue. And even worse, Bai Shijue had to bear the responsibility because he is too weak!' Han Shun could hear the voice of that mysterious man in a black-golden robe in his mind right now.
'Shut up! I don't need you to lecture me about it!' Han Shun retorted in his heart.
Han Shun had a lot in his mind right now, but he still had to be consistent with his 'remorse.'
"Bai Gege, I'm so sorry…." Han Shun said. "I really didn't know that my action would lead you like this…."
Bai Shijue smiled upon looking at Han Shun, and he patted Han Shun's head gently. He was never angry at Han Shun. He was just disappointed at most.
He also knew that it was mostly his fault for not teaching Han Shun better.
Han Shun's heart skipped for a second when Bai Gege suddenly patted his head. After that, his heartbeat steadily rose until Han Shun could even hear his own heartbeat.
Han Shun looked up and saw Bai Gege smiling at him, just like how he usually smiled when Han Shun was just a little kid.
"Han Shun, do you regret hurting Han Min?"
…
"Un, I regret it, Bai Gege. I want to apologize to him later," Han Shun replied. "I'm sorry for creating trouble, Bai Gege…."
[Awww, it seems that he is genuinely sorry now.]
[I mean, of course, he'd be sorry, he literally almost killed Han Min! We can agree that Han Shun is not like God Han Ye and the rest, right? At least he knows how to sympathize and feel remorse.]
[Pupa: Hmm…]
Pupa scanned Han Shun from head to toe. Pupa would have to admit that Han Shun was either genuinely feeling remorseful, or he was a great actor.
