Kunlun Mountain

The surrounding is now misty as the fog covered almost the whole background. Zhe Yan sips his tea as both Mo Yuan and he appreciates the green scenery from below. The breeze of the wind is from normal to moderate which somehow sway Mo Yuan's hair.

"You took the lightning strike on her behalf, I believe." The Phoenix immortal initiates the dialogue. The atmosphere between them is cold.

"He can't take it yet. It's too strong." 

Zhe Yan chuckled inwardly. "He..." It's more on a statement.

The God of war look at him with his steady feature. Zhe Yan awkwardly stops laughing saying, "I mean, I'm aware you knew she isn't a man, right?"

Mo Yuan remains calm. He did not utter any single words.

Silence

"Ahem!" He put the tea back to the small table. "You know, we can never foresee the future." He exhaled heavily. "Can you be honest to me, Mo Yuan?" He sounded serious.

"What?"

"Do you see Si Yin more than just your disciple?"

Silence

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Come on! What's with that response?"

Mo Yuan looked away, ashamed.

"She's my disciple and nothing else."

"Tch. How naïve you are indeed."

"I see."

Silence

"I'll tell you her real identity." He sigh. "She's the first daughter of the fox king." He eyed the man who remains silent even from earlier. "She's young and naughty as you can tell. She likes to seek trouble. I guess that's how youth enjoy their lives."

Silence

"The fox queen persists to bring her here to maybe, learn good manners and etiquette." He randomly drinks the peach wine while talking. "Si Yin is Bai Qian."

The God of war lowers his gaze. "I got it."

"That's it?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhe Yan smiled sarcastically. "Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan... you can't escape my great power to tell you're into her."

"Am I?" He challenged him back.

The Phoenix immortal was taken aback. He honestly understands why his brother act likes this. He's the God of war and he is destined to be a ruler. A great leader is someone who'll overcome the passing feelings and love is one of them. This is what happened to Donghua Dijun as well. They shall never let mortal emotions conquer their demeanor. "Bai Qian will be crowned as the Empress of Qing Qu after she'll graduate here."

"Good." He simply replied. 

Zhe Yan sips another tea. He knew the meaning behind Mo Yuan's strange gesture and even he won't admit it, for now, he can clearly tell everything. How pathetic.
