Chapter 716 - RW 1.11
Director Shen nodded approvingly as he watched the reel of the first take. He clicked his tongue, but not an annoyance. He was just awed that everyone in this cast was so professional that they could finish everything in one take.
Especially Han Ye and Bai Yunyu, as if they had lived as Bai Shijue and Han Shun in their previous lives.
"That's perfect! We don't need another take!" Director Shen said. He didn't want to ruin the natural aspect of their acting. "Do you guys want to take a break or not? We still have plenty of times because you guys make everything perfect in one take!"
Bai Yunyu and Huang Jinren looked at each other and shook their heads simultaneously, "We're good, don't worry about it."
Director Shen then shifted his attention at Han Ye. The man looked away. Everyone's eyes were at him, "Let's just finish this, I don't have time."
"Alright! Then onto the next scene!"
Huang Jinren and Bai Yunyu prepared themselves as they knew the next scene would be heavy. The staff that handled property started to gather around all actors and put the harness around the actor's waist because the next scene had plenty of flying scenes.
"Is this your first time doing a flying scene?" Huang Jinren asked."
"Uhm… this is my first time in everything, Jinren Gege…." Yunyu replied meekly. He was embarrassed because he didn't have much experience with his seniors like Han Ye or Huang Jinan.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll guide you!" Huang Jinren said happily, then he leaned in and whispered. 'I'll be gentle since this is your first time.'
Yunyu was flustered at Huang Jinren's advance. He took one step back and cast his eyes down, "G—Gege, don't tease me like that!"
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, I'm just playing around," Huang Jinren said, but he still looked at Bai Yunyu meaningfully. Meanwhile, Han Ye saw the harmony between Yunyu and Jinren from behind, and he looked away immediately. He didn't want to waste his attention on trash like Bai Yunyu.
After the preparation had been done, Director Shen started the cue, "Okay, camera, rolling, action!"
—!Action!—
Bai Shijue was panicking right now. He flew in a hurry because Huang Ming continued chasing him.
He had flown across the Forest of Lost Mist but refused to return to his sect because he knew Huang Ming would use that as his advantage to invade or infiltrate the sect.
"You're not going anywhere, Little Plum!" Huang Ming threw out his chain, and the chain engulfed Bai Shijue's ankle immediately. He dragged Bai Shijue to the ground in an instant.
"Argh!" Bai Shijue groaned in pain as he fell to the ground. His ankle was heavily bruised because of the Demon's chain.
Huang Ming laughed full of satisfaction as he pulled the chain, dragging Bai Shijue to his side, "Look at what I get here, Little Plum, Han Shun's favored disciple. I don't even know what makes him favor you so much. You're not strong, nor smart."
Huang Ming crouched and then choked Bai Shijue, "Now tell me, where is Han Shun right now? If you tell me his current whereabouts and weakness, then you will be spared."
Bai Shijue gritted his teeth, "You demon! I will never betray my Master! I will keep his secret no matter what!"
"Really?" Huang Ming summoned a dark dagger in his hand and pointed it at Bai Shijue's face, "You won't say anything even in the face of death?"
…
Bai Shijue and Huang Ming were waiting for Han Shun to finally come out of his hiding. Since Bai Shijue was on the verge of getting killed at this point. Han Shun should show up and save the day, then Bai Shijue would betray Han Shun by exposing his weakness, so Huang Ming could kill Han Shun easily.
…
…
Huang Ming yanked Bai Shijue and whispered, 'Where is your Master? You didn't double-cross me, right?'
'I did not. I also don't know why he's not here yet,' Bai Shijue replied with a whisper.
Huang Ming gritted his teeth. He waited for a while in this position. His disciples hid in many spots, waiting for the signal to ambush Han Shun.
But the man didn't appear at all.
Huang Ming threw the dagger on the ground and pushed Bai Shijue, "You tricked me, you trash!"
"What?! I did not!" Bai Shijue defended himself. He was also confused why Master Han Shun didn't come. He already said he would follow and protect Bai Shijue these days until everything had been settled because Bai Shijue's life was in danger.
"You just wasted my time here, Bai Shijue!" Huang Ming yelled frustratedly. Do you know how much I hate incompetent trash like you!?"
"Hey! I seriously don't know why he's not coming, don't blame me for this!" Bai Shijue and Huang Ming were in a clash when Master Han Shun finally showed up from the shadow.
"So, this is your plan, Bai Shijue," Han Shun interrupted the argument between his treacherous disciple and the leader of the Demon Sect.
"H—Han Shun?!"
"Master!"
Both Bai Shijue and Huang Ming were surprised, especially since they got caught red-handed to be working together to trap him.
"You two are nothing but trash to me," Han Shun said. He shifted his gaze at Bai Shijue, "Especially you, Bai Shijue. I had high hope for you and have prepared to give you part of my power to protect yourself. But turns out, you're nothing but a treacherous bastard."
Huang Ming gritted his teeth, "That doesn't matter, my disciples, attack him!"
…
…
There was no response from the Demon sect's disciple, which confused Huang Ming. Because he was 100% sure that he had brought at least half of the disciples to attack Han Shun today.
"I killed them all, one by one. So you don't need to worry about them anymore," Han Shun said with a sneer on his face. "You're wasting your time, Demon."
Huang Ming thought he was in an unfavorable situation right now. He knew that he was no match for Han Shun. So he had to retreat and find a better strategy first.
"I will defeat you later, Han Shun," Huang Ming said as he vanished into thin air.
"M—Master! He is running away! This is our chance to catch him!" Bai Shijue yelled as he tried to make it as natural as possible. Of course, he knew that he had been caught red-handed. But he still tried to get Master Han Shun's favor.
Bai Shijue limped towards his Master because his ankle had been hurt by Huang Ming's chain.
"M—Master, don't believe what that monster told you! I would never betray you, Master! I just want to bait him, so you can defeat him!" Bai Shijue pleaded right in front of Han Shun. His beautiful eyes, delicate face, and ruddy lips were all tempting for Han Shun in his previous life, but after getting betrayed and killed in the process, he had no more heart for this piece of trash.
Han Shun stared at Bai Shijue coldly and scoffed, "I already know what is inside your pocket, Bai Shijue. You stole my mortal stone, right?"
