"Bai Gege, wait for me. I will make sure that you will see how powerful I am, so you're not going to reject me anymore. Even if I'm already the disciple of darkness," Han Shun murmured as he continued training.
Before he continued training, hundreds of purple butterflies suddenly descended from the dark sky and gathered in front of Han Shun. Then, Master Han Ye appeared from the dark portal created by the butterflies.
Master Han Ye smiled thinly at Han Shun, "It's been a while since you stayed here. Do you like it in the underworld?"
"No," Han Shun replied curtly. "This place reeks of death, despair, and darkness. I like to stay with my Bai Gege in his realm, where everything has a calming, sweet smell. He often visited me, playing a beautiful melody from his guqin for me. I want that life again."
Han Ye scoffed, "Unfortunately, those days were gone. You cannot return to that life because you're now one with the darkness. But, you can always bring your beloved one here, don't you think? You can create a castle here, decorate it with everything you like, and trap your Bai Gege here. As long as you can trap him, he will have to accept you sooner or later, and you two will have a beautiful life together. Isn't that what you want?"
"Beautiful life with Bai Gege…." Han Shun started imagining his previous life with Bai Gege. Honestly, all stages of his life were beautiful, as long as there was Bai Gege in them.
So he would do anything to get that beautiful life back, even if he had to be one with the malicious evil.
"By the way, I'm here not to talk about that," Master Han Ye said. "I have a little gift for you."
"And what is it, Master Han?"
"It's something from the surface, but not in the immortal realm. It's from the mortal realm where you lived with your Bai Gege and Han Min for some time," Han Ye said.
Han Ye opened his palm, and a mirror suddenly appeared in his hand, "Take a good look in the mirror."
Han Shun obediently watched the mirror that showed his face until the mirror suddenly turned pure black, and a scene appeared with Bai Gege and another young man whose face looked like Han Min from the mortal realm.
—
"Han Ning, I have told your great grandfather, Han Min, about my arrival. I will stay here for a short period of time, but in exchange for my stay, I will teach you a few things to make sure that you're ready to be my messenger," Bai Gege said in the reflection from the mirror.
"Yes, This subject— Han Ning will dedicate my body and soul to serve and devote my life to My Lord, God of Prosperity, Bai Shijue! Thank you for your grace, My Lord! I will learn well!"
Bai Gege patted the young man's head. He smiled and looked gentle, which Han Shun thought was only exclusive to him.
—
Han Shun clenched his fist once he saw the picture, "What is that?"
"It's something that happened just now in the mortal realm. Your Bai Gege is bored of living alone in his immortal sect, so he returned to the mortal realm to find another young man to teach. That is Han Min's great-grandson. His name is Han Ning."
"He is taking Han Ning as his new disciple, training him to be just like you. As expected, you're nothing but a replaceable thing in his life. You'll be forgotten in less than a decade by him. Since he is immortal, he can just continuously take any young man to train them until each of them dies, and he would repeat the process over and over—"
"SHUT UP!" Han Shun shouted. His aura turned pitch black, and the wind around blew harder until it turned into a sandstorm. Han Shun was enraged after looking at Bai Gege with someone else.
Han Ye shrugged nonchalantly, "This is just his nature as a person. He said that he cares for you the most. He said he will do anything to make you strong and respected by everyone."
"However, once you're not on the same path as he is, he will ditch you and find another young man to be trained. He just wants a lapdog, not a partner. You were one of his lapdogs, so if you want to upgrade your position to be more than just a dog, you know what to do, right?"
Han Shun nodded, "I have to chain him until Bai Gege realizes I'm not weak. He needs to know that I can be as powerful as he is, even stronger if possible. Bai Gege never loves someone in his life because everything is fleeting and unnecessary for him."
"So if you want to get him, you need to pull him down from his throne. Make him stoop as low as you do and chain him," Han Ye added. "I'm here to help you, Han Shun."
Han Shun was still angry at Bai Gege, who could easily forget him. It wasn't even that long since the last time he kicked Han Shun out of the immortal sect. But now, he was already finding a new disciple to be his pet.
But there was no use in lamenting. He had to continue his training.
Han Ye smirked in satisfaction as he got what he wanted from Han Shun. He excused himself and left the young man, unleashed his overpowering rage in the underworld, and continued the grueling training until his body was strong enough to be a vassal for Han Ye.
Han Ye returned to his small realm. He sat and started playing with his guqin again, plucking the strings to play the song that he and Bai Yunyu loved to play together back then.
"Ah, my beloved wife, we can finally reunite soon, and then we can destroy everything with our despair, just like we always do. Isn't that what you want? Since you're making me the villain, I will do my duty and be the worst villain in your life."
