"This dream is so complicated. I don't know whether I should be happy to meet the kinder version of you, or should I be sad when I saw my beloved Han Shun had done a terrible deed, even turning into the dark side."

…

Han Ye tightened his embrace around Bai Yunyu. He was conflicted about whether he should tell him the truth of that supposed 'real world' of his or he should not and let Bai Yunyu see him as a monster instead of a man with a heart. 

Because that was what Bai Yunyu wanted, he wanted drama, so he forced Han Ye to play along despite his reluctance. 

Amidst Han Ye's hesitation, Bai Yunyu asked, "Han Ye Gege, do you know what happened to Han Shun? What I saw in this dream… is that really true?"

…

"Yes," Han Ye replied firmly. "What you see in this dream is like a recording. Han Shun has been playing with fire. He made a deal with the demonic sect. The deal instantly turns him into a powerful demonic cultivator with his superb talent. 

"But I feel nothing when he is around me. If he has become a powerful demonic cultivator, I should be able to sense his darkening!" Bai Yunyu said. 

"That's because he got the aid from that evil god, the God of Nothingness. He saw the potential in Han Shun and helped mask his darkening presence in front of you," Han Ye replied, making sure that Bai Yunyu got even more agitated.

"And Han Shun just accepted it?"

"Yes…"

Bai Yunyu felt his heart pinched from inside. He couldn't believe the young man he had raised with all his care and love had betrayed him and joined the demonic cultivation. 

"Han Ye Gege, how do you know about all this?" Bai Yunyu asked. He also had a suspicion that Han Ye Gege must've had an involvement here, knowing that Han Ye Gege abused him until he committed suicide. "Are you the same Han Ye Gege in my real world? Are you trying to kill me as well?"

…

"I will never hurt you physically," Han Ye replied. "The Han Ye in your real world is just a fragment of me, just like the rest of them."

"Really? But that Han Ye Gege acts so mean towards me. A lot meaner than the other Han Ye Geges in other worlds combined…."

…

Han Ye tried to shift the topic instead, "I know that Han Shun is making a deal with the evil god because he is part of my soul fragments. I have wanted to tell you for so long, but you haven't slept. So I can't enter your dream."

Bai Yunyu was still lamenting that his beloved disciple had betrayed him, "Why did he do that? Did I ever treat him wrong?" Yunyu asked. "I give him all he needs to be a great immortal. If he has any difficulty, all he needs to do is ask me, and I will be willing to help him. Why did he do this to me?"

"Wife, don't be too emotional. He is just a young man in the end. Give it time until he can mature, okay?" Han Ye said. But the more Han Ye tried to pacify him, the angrier Bai Yunyu got. 

He pushed Han Ye Gege and separated himself. He stared at Han Ye Gege, who seemed to be at a loss.

"Han Ye Gege, you don't understand the pain that I experienced! The pain of getting betrayed by someone you held dearly in your heart. It feels like my heart is burning from the inside!" Bai Yunyu yelled. "I will talk to him! There must be a way to reprimand Han Shun and save him before it's too late!" 

"Wife…" Han Ye called his wife in a gentle tone, ensuring he wasn't too agitated. He approached his wife again, but Bai Yunyu took a step back. 

"I'm sorry, Han Ye Gege. But I really need to wake up now. I need to find Han Shun and confront him about this!" 

…

Knowing nothing he could do, Han Ye snapped his finger, and Bai Yunyu was slowly sucked into a portal, "Until we meet again, wife."

Han Ye was left alone again, in this emptiness where he was sealed for so long that he had already forgotten about the concept of time. He waited so long until he could meet with his wife again, and his wife told him that he didn't know about the feeling of getting betrayed by your loved one?

"Ah, that's so hypocritical of you, Wife. After what you did to me, you still think that I don't know that feeling? Hahaha…" Han Ye laughed mirthlessly. It was so ironic coming from Bai Yunyu's mouth.

"Oh well, this is what you like, right? The whole e drama… the whole blaming on me, it's always what you like," Han Ye said. "Han Shun will turn into the second me you despise so much, and I will be completely free once the process is done. Let's see what will you do once that truly happens."

"We will repeat this cycle over and over, inflicting pain on one another. Since that's what you always want, right?"

**

Bai Yunyu opened his eyes soon after. He took a deep breath and got up instantly. Pupa was invisible while following Yunyu from behind;

[Pupa: Where are you going?]

[To find Han Shun, I need to confront him about something. At least I need to check with my power whether he has joined with the demonic sect.]

[Pupa: Demonic sect?!]

[Yes, my beloved disciple Han Shun has been playing with fire and making a deal with the evil god. I will talk to him— No, I will punish him until he admits his wrongdoing!]

[Pupa: Are you sure about punishing him? He is still a young man. What if he got angry at you instead?]

[Then I will punish him more! What an ungrateful kid!]
