Bai Shijue went to check on Han Min in his room. Han Min was grimacing in pain as he felt his ribs had been broken from inside. Maybe he already had internal bleeding at this point.

He was only 14 years old, not yet an adult. So his bone density wasn't as good as a regular adult. He thought he would die when Young Master Han Shun stepped on his chest.

Bai Shijue slid the door open, and Han Min quickly fixed his expression, trying so hard not to make a painful expression, so he wouldn't worry Master Bai.

He tried to get up to greet Master Bai, but Bai Shijue tapped the wooden floor with his feet twice, and Han Min was forced to lay on the bed. 

"Don't move. You've been severely wounded," Bai Shijue said. He sat crosslegged beside Han Min and quickly checked on the wound. 

His mood worsened after he realized that Han Shun had broken Han Min's ribcage. The young boy must've suffered in agony, but he tried hard not to show any pain.

"M—Master, Han Min is okay. Y—Young Master Han Shun is just too powerful. He didn't mean it…."

"Whether he meant to break your ribs or not, that's not the point," Bai Shijue said. "The point is… Han Shun has hurt you despite knowing that you have no chance to fight against him. And he did that because he felt threatened by your presence."

"T—Threatened? But why? Master Bai's love for him is enormous. He is blessed with Master Bai's overflowing care! ACK!" Han Min finally grimaced in pain in front of Master Bai, much to his shame. 

Bai Shijue gently placed his palm on the area where Han Shun stepped on this poor young man and used his power to start fixing the crushed ribcage. 

Of course, this kind of technique wasn't allowed in the mortal realm, but Han Min would really die if he didn't do this.

[Pupa: You know that you will have to bear the pain of heaven strike after this, right?]

[Yeah, I know. This is basically a violation, right? To use a technique to revert the time in Han Min's body, so his body would return to the moment before Han Shun stepped on him.]

[Pupa: Yes, it's forbidden to use that kind of technique. You will get a heaven strike.]

[I can handle it. Han Min is under my responsibility. I won't let him die because I failed to teach Han Shun how to be more careful.]

[By the way, Han Shun went real overboard this time. Look at the damage he had done to Han Min.]

[Pupa: I think this is a very common trope in all of your husbands from previous worlds.]

[Eh? Really? I don't think everyone is a sociopath like Han Shun.]

[Pupa: They're all sociopaths that would go crazy if you push them over the edge. God Han Ye is… well, a god. Obviously, he has difficulty feeling sympathy when everything is so insignificant compared to him.]

[… I guess so.]

"Han Shun…" Bai Shijue started talking again while he was healing Han Min right now. "He is emotionally stunted. It's my fault because I always teach him to get stronger but not emotionally connected."

"Thus, I will heal you back to full health because he is my responsibility," Bai Shijue said. 

"Master Bai…" Han Min didn't understand why Master Bai seemed to be very attached to Young Master Han Shun. 

Obviously, Young Master took Master Bai's kindness and care for granted. 

'But it's not my place to comment… I'm just a servant here…' Han Min thought. 

After a while, Han Min didn't feel any pain anymore. Thanks to Bai Shijue's ability.

"T—Thank you so much, Master Bai. I didn't know what would happen with me if you weren't here…."

"It's my responsibility to do so," Bai Shijue said. He got up and turned around to leave Han Min's room. "Rest well, and oh—"

Bai Shijue halted his step and said, "You shouldn't serve anything to Han Shun for now. I don't think he will be friendly with you anytime soon."

Han Shun was sitting under the plum blossom tree in Bai Gege's courtyard. He was still peeved that Bai Gege chose to help that kid.

'Tch, that kid is just pretending to be hurt. So he would be given all the care by Bai Gege. What a manipulative bastard,' Han Shun thought. 

"Squee?"

Han Shun looked up and saw Chinchin dangling on the tree, looking down at him with a questioning gaze.

"Squee, Squee?"

"Oh, you're here…" Han Shun said nonchalantly. 

"Squee!" Chinchin jumped and landed on Han Shun's head. He saw that Han Shun wasn't so happy right now. "Squee?"

"Why am I upset? Obviously, Bai Gege brought another man into the residence. Am I not good enough for him?"

"I understand if he needs a little refreshment, like a boy toy or a male prostitute, while I was busy cultivating. But now I'm here. He doesn't need that guy anymore!" Han Shun complained. The more he imagined Bai Gege picking another boy toy, the more aggravated he got.

"Squee? Squee!" Chinchin told Han Shun that Han Min was a good young man. He was also diligent in working around the residence alone.

"Not you too, Chinchin. Did that little shit also bribe you with food?" Han Shun sneered. "He is trying to covet Bai Gege. I know it very well. Because I've been in his spot once."

Han Shun remembered his life when he got picked up and cared for by Bai Gege. He was only 8 at that time.

He thought that Bai Gege wanted his body, but it turned out that Bai Gege wanted to genuinely take care of him until he grew up. But once he hit puberty at 14 years old, he already imagined Bai Gege as his sex object in his wet dream, confirming that he was indeed attracted to Bai Gege sexually and romantically.

And he 100% trusted his judgment. That Han Min kid was also aiming at Bai Gege right now.

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."
