Mo Yuan had never been so angry. That Bai Qian would knock over Die Feng and storm out was bad enough, but that she had yelled at him in front of everyone! His opinion was that any argument they had was between them, not the whole mountain. He didn't go to the hall for dinner that night. Instead, he went to his dragon den in the heart of the mountain. He transformed and threw up a barrier that could not be seen through. He was still furious and he needed time to think. Never in their years together had something this serious come along. Never. He closed down his mind and went to sleep.
Bai Xue tried to calm the situation down in the great hall. He motioned to Die Feng. "Go to the peach tree forest and get Shushu Bai Zhen. Just tell him he is needed. If he is not there then check his estate. You boys go to the hot spring and clean up for dinner. I need to check my boys." When Xue walked into his room, his boys were playing with blocks on the floor. "Fuqin is back! Did you miss me?" They ran to him and grabbed his legs. "How about we go to the hot spring and get baths for some rank dragons!" He gathered a basket of oils and rags and headed to the spring. Baohu, Jinzi and Junjie were already in the water. "Da ge! Please heat the water like Fuqin likes it. It's a little cold." Xue took off his robes and walked into the water with his boys. He heated the water and sat them on a rock ledge to bathe them. "Is that better?" Jinzi grinned as he lay on his back with his tails out. "It's just right, Da ge!" "We better get bathed so we can get to the hall in time for dinner. You know how Fuqin hates for us to be late!" They were all clean and entered together for dinner. Their mother and father never came and neither did Feng Jui or Bai Gun Gun. Xue knew this was not going to be good. Not good at all.
Bai Qian was alone in their bedroom where she had been sleeping beside Mo Yuan, her mate, for millennia. She had only slept alone when either she or he had been ill. Tonight was totally different. She knew she had been wrong to storm off, but that dragon needed a lesson! Hmmmph! She skipped dinner and went to the hot pool to bathe. He didn't come. She undressed and went to bed. He didn't come. Stewing in her own anger, she finally went to bed, but her sleep was fitful and she had dreams of him. Mo Yuan was stewing in his own anger. The audacity of her to yell at him in front of everyone! The nerve. He was blowing smoke out of his nose. The more he thought the madder he got. He was growling and snarling as he thought. Let her sleep alone tonight.
The next morning, Bai Zhen came storming onto Kunlun Mountain like a whirlwind. Bai Xue met him. "Shushu, I hated to call you, but we have a situation brewing here. He told him the whole story. Bai Zhen was furious, but he managed to keep his head. " Bring Bai Feng Jui to me please." Xue left and came back with her and Bai Gun Gun. "Would you like to explain to me where you have been? I'm also assuming this boy doesn't know his father and his father knows nothing about him. What have you got to say, Xiao Jui?" "Shushu I can explain. I didn't want Dijun to know. He made it clear he didn't want me. That's fine, I can live without him. Since he doesn't want me, then I feel he has no right to interfere with my son. Where was he when I labored to bring him into this world? I am fine and I don't need him." "You need to return to your realm as soon as possible. Your father will be furious, but you are your own person now. Where is Xiao Wu?" "Shushu, mother and father had a very serious argument last night and neither one has been seen since. I'm not about to interfere either." "A good choice. Let them work it out. I will take my leave now. Bring your boys to the peach tree woods when you can. I wish to spend time with them." With that he left. Xue went to check on his mother. She was still asleep. He went to the dragon den and saw the barrier. No help there. He left them alone.
For three days neither one of them made an appearance. On the fourth day Bai Qian went to the hot spring to bathe. She was there for two hours. She finally came into the great hall bathed and clean but her face spoke another story. Circles were under her eyes. She had not eaten and she was sick. She was hungry but the food smelled horrible to her. She sat in her spot and swirled her tea in her cup. She kept staring at Mo Yuan's dais. When he didn't come, she walked outside and left Kunlun Mountain. The minute she left the mountain, Mo Yuan knew it. His heart wrenched and he knew he would fall ill quickly. He lowered his barrier and transformed. He tried to get up to follow her. He staggered up the path to the great hall. Xue saw him and jumped to his side. "Fuqin! What's wrong?" "Dragon tear. Must...find....Qian......... He collapsed. " Die Feng! Die Feng!! Go get Zhe Yan. And hurry!!" Bai Qian went to Qing Qui to unwind and work through her anger. She went to Yanhua cave and threw up her barrier.
Zhe Yan came as fast as he could get there. He examined Mo Yuan and turned to Xue. "Where is your mother?" "She flew off the mountain this morning. " Fuqin told me to find her. The dragon tear is active. We need to find her now! And I mean now!" "Is Fuqin going to die?" "He could. I'm not sure. Go to Qing Qui first. If she's not there, go to the back side of the peach tree woods. Hurry now!" Bai Xue called his brothers and sisters into his fathers office. "As you all know, Fuqin is very ill. I'm going to find Mother. Please behave yourselves while I'm gone. Watch over my boys for me. I'll be back soon. Now go and behave!" Xue sent a note to JinDe and left. The fox den was in an uproar when he got there. "Mi Gu! Where's mother? Please tell me she is here! Please!" Bai Zhi was in residence. "Xue, what's wrong?" "Zufu, mother and Fuqin had an argument. Mother left the mountain. The dragon tear is active now. If she doesn't come back, Fuqin will die! Please Zufu help me find her! I don't want Fuqin to die! Please!" Xue was visibly upset and he was wringing his hands. Bai Zhi put his hand on his shoulder. "Calm now. Your mother is here. Come let's go to her." They jumped together to the cave entrance. "Xiao Wu! Drop your barrier. Your son is here to see you!" Nothing. "Mother, please drop your barrier! Please!" She dropped it and Bai Xue, never one to get in a hurry his whole life, rushed into the cave like a whirlwind. He fell in front of his mother and begged. "Mother, if you care for Fuqin at all, I'm begging you to return to Kunlun now. Fuqin is very ill and Zhe Yan said you have to come back now or he could die. Mother, please don't let him die!" He bowed down to the ground and cried. She looked at her first born. "Why should I come back? Let him suffer! Now leave me in peace!" "Mother, I've never disrespected you, but if you let my Fuqin die because of a petty argument, I will see to it that you never set another foot on Kunlun Mountain. You will be a sworn enemy to me and every disciple. Not only that, you will be a sworn enemy to the nine heavens. I hope you can sleep well." He turned, looked at his Zufu and jumped back to Kunlun. He went straight to his father. He was pale and drawn. He had his hand on his fathers arm and his head on his hand. Zhe Yan put his hand on Xue's shoulder. He looked up with a face stricken with pain. "She wouldn't come back. She wouldn't come back." Zhe Yan scanned Mo Yuan and checked his pulse. His face spoke volumes. He was fading. Mo JinDe received his brother's message. He settled Mei Ying down with his boys and left for Kunlun. Ye Hua doubled over in the throne room as he was about to leave. He fell to his knees and screamed. "Da ge! Da ge!" Donghua Dijun grabbed him by the waist and jumped straight to Kunlun.
Bai Qian was rocked to her core by the words of her first born son. Was Mo Yuan really that ill? What about the dragon tear? She pulled her robe aside to look. The glow was faint and she couldn't feel the warmth. She became worried now. She knew she loves Mo Yuan. She decided to return so they could work things out. She was about to jump when she heard the first chime of the bell of Kunlun. She jumped as fast as she could. Dijun carried Ye Hua into Mo Yuan's room. He collapsed by him. He was sobbing and holding his heart. "Da ge! Please don't go! What has happened? Where's JieJie? What has happened?" The disciples were gathered in the hall crying. JinDe jumped in and ran to his father's room. "What has happened, Xue? Where's mother?" "Don't ever mention her to me again! She killed the only person who has loved us regardless of our faults. She killed him over a petty argument! She killed him!" The bell chimed again. Zhe Yan was trying to revive Mo Yuan and Ye Hua was passing energy to him. JinDe stepped forward and passed him energy. Jinzi ran in the room. He placed both of his hands on his father's face and passed him energy until he passed out. JinDe picked him up and held him close. Bai Qian landed on the portico to the grand hall. Blood was running down her chest from her scar. She staggered to their room. When Zhe Yan saw her, he knew what was happening. Mo Yuan was taking the tear with him. She collapsed. JinDe laid her by his father and they waited. Two hours later Mo Yuan opened his eyes to a room full of people. He wanted to sit up but Zhe Yan stopped him. "Rest for now. You will be fine in the morning." He held his heart for a moment. The pain was still there. He laid back and closed his eyes.
The next morning Mo Yuan rose from the bed and put on his robes. He looked down at Bai Qian. He held his hand over her heart. The tear started to vibrate and a red glow appeared. Slowly the tear begin to move. He increased his power until he finally removed it from her. He held it in his hand for a moment. With a single tear running down his face, he crushed the tear in his hand and dropped the pieces on the bed. He walked out a broken man. He walked to the great hall and drank tea. He said nothing. His eyes were faraway and he didn't acknowledge anyone. When he finished his tea, he walked through the peach grove to the little valley with the pavilion. With a wave of his hand he torn it down and burned it. He turned and left. He walked back to his study. Ye Hua was waiting for him. "Da ge, are you ok now? My spirit tells me you are not. Do you wish to discuss it? Can I help you?" "There is nothing you can do now, Ye Hua. Go back to your family. At least your wife loves you. I'll be fine. Don't worry." "Da ge, I'll return, but I can feel something is very wrong. Very wrong. Please tell me!" "I have nothing to say right now. I'm going in seclusion right now. I'll be fine when I come out." "Ok, but I still don't feel right." Mo JinDe walked into his father's study. "Fuqin, what's wrong? Will you tell me?" Mo Yuan looked at JinDe. His eyes were cold and detached. "Go back to your family. I don't need you here. Go home." JinDe hung his head and saw the father he had loved disappear. He got up and jumped to the nine heavens.
Bai Feng Jui packed her things, took Bai Gun Gun and left. She knew Dijun had brought Ye Hua, but she didn't want to see him. She returned to the fox den in misery and pain. Donghua Dijun knew she was there and knew when she left. He was in the great hall when Ming Wang came in. Only he wasn't Ming Wang. He was Qong Ti, the mortal general that Xiao Bai had brought to the celestial realm. He sat opposite of Donghua and stared him down. "Aren't you going to ask me about her? Don't you care?" Still Dijun said nothing. Qong Ti got up, bowed and left. He went straight to Qing Qui. Donghua Dijun was left wondering what the Hades was going on around here. He stood and decided he'd had enough. He jumped back to Taichen Palace.
Bai Qian was moved out of Mo Yuan's room to the nursery. She was still sleeping. He never visited her and he didn't ask about her. He tended to Kunlun business just like he did before he was ever married. Die Feng was worried. He didn't know exactly what had happened, but something bad had happened. Something really bad. On day four Bai Qian's scar was still bleeding and Mo Yuan still hadn't even looked at her. Finally Bai Xue had the nerve to call for Zhe Yan and then he marched into his father's study. "Fuqin, would you please explain to me exactly what is going on? Why haven't you even checked on mother? She's still bleeding. Don't you even care?" Mo Yuan looked up with a look of sheer hatred in his eyes. "If you care so much, take her back to her cave. I don't need her here. I removed the tear so I won't be affected anymore. Don't mention her to me again. Her name will be stricken from every record on this mountain. I never want to see that murderous bitch again. Get out and take her with you. I will return to the life I had of peace and tranquility before she disrupted it." "But Fuqin, what about us, your children? Are you forsaking us too? Do you want us to leave? What do you want from us?" "You can leave or you can stay. I suppose since you are mine I do have a responsibility to see these younger children raised properly or you and your brother could take them. I'm through with it. Now leave. I have a schedule to keep." Bai Xue was in total absolute disbelief. What had happened to his Fuqin? The loving father who had taught and nurtured them all? He had just basically disclaimed paternity and responsibility for them. Was his father insane? What had happened?
Bai Xue went to his room and packed all of his things. With a wave of his hand he emptied his room and sent all of his things to his palace. He called Baohu and Jinzi to him. "I want you to pack up your room and move your things to Fuqin's palace in the nine heavens. Leave nothing here. Leave your room empty. Understand? Don't ask me any questions, just do it. I'll be back to check on you." He walked down the hall and relayed his message to each child. He wanted to wipe their presence from Kunlun forever. Xue walked to the lotus pond. By magic he placed a pure white lotus for each one of them in the pond and left. He checked back with each one of his siblings. Their rooms were bare. They waited in the great hall alone and scared. Bai Xue called Die Feng to him. "Die Feng, I don't know what happened to Fuqin, but he basically disowned us and denied his paternity and responsibility for us. I don't know what happened but he's not right. Please go get Zhe Yan and have mother moved to the peach tree woods as soon as you can. I just don't know what to say. Good by, Die Feng. Please take care of him." He took the six children and left. Die Feng left and went to the peach tree grove. Zhe Yan met him. "High God Zhe Yan, Bai Xue has told me that Shifu instructed him to remove Bai Qian from Kunlun Mountain along with her children. The children have been taken to the nine heavens. Shiqi is still there but she is still asleep. Do you wish for me to bring her here?" "No, I will come get her myself. You may go." Right after Die Feng left, Zhe Yan left to go see Mo Yuan. He didn't knock and he wasn't announced. He stood over Mo Yuan as he sat at his desk going over correspondence. "Can I help you?" His voice was cold and detached. "Would you like to explain to me why you have disowned your children, kicked them out of their home and now you're kicking their mother out to? What is your reasoning?" "I have no wife anymore. She broke all ties herself by choosing to let me nearly die. I extracted my dragon tear and broke it. I will not have that murderous bitch on my mountain another day. Take her away. I never want to see her again. I'm done with her. Now take her and get off my mountain." He walked out and left Zhe Yan standing in shock and dismay. His own fury was starting to grow. He followed Mo Yuan to the great hall. He confronted Mo Yuan loudly. "Any man who denies his children and tries to destroy their mother is less than honorable. You should be relieved of your title of God of War as of this day. I will make this petition today in the nine heavens. I thought you were an honorable and considerate man. I was wrong. You are barred from the peach tree woods. Good day to you, High God Mo Yuan." He turned to walk out. He went straight to the nursery. He picked up Bai Qian and walked through the hall out to the portico with her in his arms. He looked back at Mo Yuan sitting on his dais saying nothing. He had the pieces of the dragon tear in his pocket. He would get to the bottom of this if it was the last thing he ever did. With one last look straight into his eyes, he jumped straight to Shangdi Zhanzheng palace.
Bai Xue went straight to see Ye Hua after he settled the children in their new home. Ye Hua was in a state of panic. "Shushu, something has happened to Fuqin and I intend to get to the bottom of it. He kicked all of us, his children, off of Kunlun. He also told me to take mother and never come back. Something happened to him. He would never treat mother like that. Please ask Dijun to read his mind. Please? What will happen to these children without Fuqin to teach them? What about mother? She was still bleeding from her heart. Shushu why has this happened?" Bai Xue was sobbing like a small child when Mo JinDe walked in. He sat by his brother and he too sobbed. Ye Hua was beside himself. He sent a message to Donghua Dijun to please come to his study. Ye Hua was pacing when Zhe Yan walked into his study. He was furious. He looked straight into Ye Hua's eyes. "Tomorrow I will bring a petition to the throne to have Mo Yuan removed as God of War. He has broken his oath and is no longer a man of honor. I have brought Bai Qian to the palace here. I don't know why she's still bleeding and I don't know why she won't wake up. I found this on her bed." He held out his hand and there was the broken dragon tear. One look and Ye Hua put his head into his hand and cried.
