Kunlun Mountain Part 4 - The Return

Epilogue 5 - Mo Yuan and Bai Qian 3

News of Kunlun Mountains Graduation Ceremony spread to every Realm  the moment the very first invitation was accepted.  Every Leader of every Realm was invited and being the biggest Graduation Ceremony ever held on Kunlun Mountain, it was expected that every single one of them would attend including Honghui who accepted it.

Yan Zhi too had accepted even though she was still very angry with Mo Yuan, but for Zi Lans sake, she deemed him more important that her dislike for his master.  Also attending would be Die Fengs parents and several of their Generals who were also very good friends of Mo Yuans and of course The Fox Family would also be there.

But what put a smile on both of their faces was the accepted invitation by the Mystics Overlord Lai Cuifen.  It seemed as if they were making an effort to reintegrate themselves among them, though they both knew it would be small steps at a time.  They had remained hidden for so long, that they were still considered a myth by most.

And what put an ever bigger smile on Bai Qians face, was Lai of the Orchid People would also be attending having been invited by Gaogui knowing his mother would want Lanhua there.  But as he was no longer available to either of them, Lai agreed to attend in his place.

Mo Yuan decided that the Ceremony would follow the same format as the first one while an enormous concerted effort from them all would go into the banquet that would follow, and seeing as most of those attending had also offered to assist with the food, Mo Yuan and Bai Qian went ahead with the planning, while Chang Shan fully took over the menu.

And in amongst the excitement and non stop laughter, the twins managed to create merry mayhem which kept them all on their toes.  Not only had Bai Qian been forced to literally hold Mo Yuan back from spanking them, but Die Feng was forced to quickly snatch both boys up into his arms and hurry them out of the Hall after Mo Yuan had caught the both of them on his platform crawling all over his sword Xuan Yuan.  

It had taken mere seconds to realize the boys had been able to call it to them, and not only had they unsheathed it, but they came dangerously close to having their limbs removed as they tried to lift it only to have the sword swing madly around them.  

Picking it up, he used his sleeve to wipe off their slobber which they had managed to get all over the blade before re-sheathing it.  Then placing it back on its stand, it was one more thing that had to be placed behind a barrier.

But excitedly, they all threw themselves into the preparations which saw the Grand Hall once again being decorated with lanterns, streamers, peach blossom floral arrangements and even a Royal Blue carpet which lined the aisle that Gouzhis father donated for the event.

"To think I am going to Graduate at my age!" Zi Lan snorted as he rolled out the carpet so adjustments could be made.

"True true, you are far too old to be graduating at your advanced age Zi Lan." Bai Qian chirped back laughing at the hilarity of his statement.  Because it was actually funny, they were all old enough for their children to graduate.

But a look swept across his face as he looked up, one she could not interpret but for some reason she did not like it.  And his answer when it came, was so shocking that had Mo Yuan not been with them she may have rolled him up in the long thin rug and beat him senseless.

"Actually Seventeenth, I am younger than you," he replied having reverted back to their place numbers and with a small smile which he tried to hide.

Looking up at him, she was momentarily stunned.  

"What?"

"I am two thousand years younger than you." he said though inching back from her having noticed the slight twitch to her body.
