"Hup! Hah, HYAT!" Han Min kicked the wooden target that Bai Shijue set and destroyed the wooden target with only one kick. Bai Shijue nodded in approval.

"Good, you've perfected that technique. You're so close to being one of the best martial art practitioners in this world," Bai Shijue said. 

"T—Thank you, Master Bai! Thank you for your teaching. This is all because of your generosity!" Han Min bowed deeply at Bai Shijue plenty of times. He felt nothing but deep respect for Master Bai because Master Bai gave him everything he needed. 

"I don't know how to repay for all you've done for me, Master Bai…." 

"Just be a good man and take care of this residence, okay?" Bai Shijue replied.

"That's given!" Han Min responded. "I've sworn to take care of this house while Master Bai and Young Master Han left until the end of my life!" 

"Haha, that's good. Just don't forget to build a family of your own, alright? You have all the money that you need, make sure to marry a good person. I don't mind at all, whether it's a man or woman," Bai Shijue said. 

"Yes, Master Bai!" Han Min nodded excitedly. "But how about you, Master Bai?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"When will you marry Young Master Han? He is so into you…." 

…

"Let's… not talk about it," Bai Shijue said. "I just want him to be a great person in the future. I will assist him for his fate."

"But, what's the point of being the strongest man on earth when you're lonely?"

…

Now Bai Shijue was tongue-tied. He was already fighting his own urge to embrace Han Shun, and Han Min's words didn't help at all. It only pushed him deeper into this abyss called love. 

"I don't know…." Bai Shijue said. "I don't want to think about it."

**

As usual, Han Shun returned home looking haggard, as if he had walked a long way. Of course, he teleported with the Love Talisman, but he still looked exhausted.

Bai Shijue carried him like usual, and Han Shun buried his face in Bai Gege's chest. He could smell the special scent that Bai Gege had. It was a mix of wood and fresh garden. 

It was so refreshing that Han Shun wanted to just bury himself inside Bai Gege's body, so he could be with Bai Gege forever. 

Bai Shijue put Han Shun in Han Shun's bedroom because he didn't want the same incident where Han Shun shot everything with his sticky cum in Bai Shijue's room. 

It was so difficult to clean, and he couldn't ask Han Min to do it because it was damn embarrassing. 

"Han Shun, you should rest for a day," Bai Shijue said. "You've been going to the Forest of Lost Mist every day. It's not good for your health."

"Ah, no, Bai Gege!" Han Shun shook his head. He suddenly burst full of energy again. "I'm okay with it! In fact, I'd want you to go with me to the Forest of Lost Mist tomorrow for the trial!"

Bai Shijue's eyes widened, "You… I know you're amazing and all. But you want me to test you tomorrow? Other people need at least a year until they can familiarize themselves with the forest!"

"Bai Gege, I promise you, I'm already familiar with everything! I can even go in and out of the forest without using the Love talisman. I used it just for convenience!" Han Shun insisted.

"You—" Bai Shijue was lost for words and sighed full of woe. "You're seriously difficult to handle, Han Shun. But, fine, if you really want to go, then I will go with you," Bai Shijue said. "Remember, if you fail to find the path, this conversation about the trial with me will not happen for the next 2 years, alright?"

"Yes, Gege!"

Bai Shijue was wondering, how could this young man hold such confidence to pass the trial so easily? 

[Seriously though, Han Shun is just so confident. It makes me wonder if he has some kind of cheat code. You know how tricky and dangerous that Forest of Lost Mist is.]

[Pupa, can you help me to scan his body? I wonder if he already joined a demonic sect or something.]

Pupa scanned Han Shun's body and couldn't detect any kind of blackening. 

[Pupa: I see nothing. Maybe Han Shun is just that good. He is God Han Ye's strongest soul, you know.]

**

Bai Shijue finally agreed to test Han Shun the day after tomorrow. Because he demanded Han Shun rest for a day. Han Shun used this free day to communicate with God Han Ye. Since God Han Ye was the real master of Forest of Lost Mist.

"Master Han Ye, may I request something?" Han Shun started the conversation.

Han Ye stood beside Han Shun and nodded, waiting for the young man to tell his request. 

"Can you send me a few mid to high-level celestial beasts to fight? So I can show Bai Gege how cool I am!"

'Haha, I can do that easily. I'll make sure Bai Shijue will be awed by your strength,' Han Ye replied. 'I will also make sure that you can be the hero who saves the princess, making sure that Bai Shijue wouldn't be able to move by using a legendary celestial beast to bind him.'

"Wow! Thank you so much, Master Han Ye! I'd never be able to do it without your help!" Han Shun said excitedly. 

Han Ye smiled thin. He had another thing in mind, of course. But he would let this hasty young man have his time. Since he really wanted to look cool in front of his Bai Gege, Han Ye would give just that. 

However, Han Ye also wanted to plant a seed of doubt in Bai Yunyu's heart, making sure he got confused and doubted Han Shun's legitimacy as a real immortal cultivator.

'You will be the only one in his eyes, Han Shun.'
