Woodland Cascades.


The revelations he got were very shocking for him. He was literally crushed by all the feelings and memories and thoughts, like from an avalanche.
After crying a whole night in his father's arms, he still kept himself a little isolated for a while, to think and reflect on everything.

ZhuShen has been taking care of TiShan himself, meanwhile, after WeiLin met him to check on what his problems might be — WonPil of course told him about it, as well as other things, while having a total, huge breakdown.

WeiLin.


Time passes and the sun sets. He and TiShan remained in that house the whole afternoon, while he nervously waited to be summoned.
Eventually, they were given dinner and some delicious natural drinks and TiShan went to sleep, while he still remained sat on the porch.

He doesn't know at what time, exactly, but ZhuShen returns to him and tells him that the Clan Leader is ready to meet him.
He stands up right away and follows the man through a very long path that leads to a seemingly infinite staircase at the side of one of the waterfalls.
It is a long walk and quite scary too, as the height keeps growing at every step.

While heading up, he suddenly stops and bends, catching a little snail that ended up on the stairs. He tries to make it cling to the mountainwall, but it retired into its shell, so he just places it back on the ground, but out of the way.
ZhuShen stopped when he realised that WonPil wasn't following anymore and observed the entire scene with a soft smile.

After over an hour of climbing on those stairs, they finally reach the entrance of a cave, that leads behind the waterfall itself.
«Follow the path, you can't be mistaken. Be careful not to slip, the ground is wet», says ZhuShen, always acting very kind and patient with him, despite he was rather slow on the stairs.
WonPil is worried and scared, but he has no choice. He must see the Clan Leader and find out what's the matter.
He keeps himself clung to the wall while hesitantly proceeding through the short tunnel, that ends in a wide openess.

As soon as he steps out of the tunnel, he looks at the waterfall. It's quite breathtaking, but he then remembers that the Clan Leader must be there too.
He slowly turns to the other side and indeed notices there is someone else there. He doesn't look at his face though, he just sees his clothes: a wide hanfu, of the same colours of his, but even more detailed.
He approaches the man of some steps and bows to him, being as formal as he can.

Silence. It soon starts to feel heavy, so much that he drops on his knees, but the other man catches him before he could reach the ground and helps him to stands straight again, holding him by arm.
«You are just like her…» murmurs the Clan Leader.
WonPil's eyes widen at his words. He can't know for sure, but his mind immediately goes to the mother he knows nothing about.
«LanPu…»
WonPil can't hold himself anymore, he bursts into tears. From the moment he approached that man, he felt some kind of familiarity with him, as if he had always known him. Even before WeiLin says it, he already knows what he is going to tell him, who he is to him.
As he starts to cry, the Clan Leader pulls him in his arms right away.
«Mianhamnida», sobs WonPil.
«Do not, ever, apologize for your feelings. In however form they manifest themselves… my child…»

Sickness.


He basically started crying the moment he saw that abominable undead version of himself and he is still keeping it up even after a few days, despite now all of the Hai who were involved with him are dead without a doubt.

He can't stop thinking that he was really close to end up like that; if Xie had arrived even just one day later than he did, it would probably be his fate. He literally can't get that image off his mind, himself as an undead, maybe attacking his own beloved one while in that state.
The shock causes him insomnia, heavy nightmares and sickness, so much that he vomits almost every day, which is not ideal since he is pregnant.

In any case, he can't waste time focusing on himself and recovering from that, not with TiShan in that state. He doesn't know what else he could do, beside taking him to Cloud Recesses and continue to try with the Cold Springs. He wouldn't bring him to Shiinden, since WuXin doesn't want him close to his children and there they'd meet for sure.

It's afternoon and he leaves home with TiShan and MoonPil. The brother teleports them all the closest possible to Cloud Recesses and, as it's considered a totally safe area, he leaves them to the stairs that lead to the entrance. MoonPil is just supposed to return there in two hours, to bring them home.

Problem is: when MoonPil returns, there is literally nobody waiting for him. He thinks they might be just late and remains there for a while, before starting to get worried. He even decides to try to ask to the people of Cloud Recesses but the guards of the entrance tell him that WonPil never arrived. They involve the Clan Leader and the whole rest of the Huo, they start to search the area all over to find out what could have happened, but there seems to be nothing. They vanished.

MoonPil heads back to Shiirhuang, to see if maybe they just changed their mind and found a way to return home, but it's definitely not so. He even goes to search in Shiinden, but nothing even there.
All that the Huo manage to find is some small tracks of a strange flowerish dust, that seems to have soporific effects.

MoonPil naturally warns everyone, even people who are less close and not from the family, even just to make sure that they don't know where WonPil and TiShan are.

House Party.


Eventually, when BangSul finds out what WonPil is doing, he and his guys join to help with the house too. With them, Itachi's and Min's help, the work proceeds at record times, thanks to all their powers and skills, plus supernatural strength.
In just a few weeks, the house is done and ready. They also use some stuff from the house in the snow, as it was all brand new and super quality and it would be too much of a waste to abandon everything there. That saves a lot of money too, helping to calm WonPil's dumb complexes down, at least for a bit.

In a way, this is at all effects the house of WonPil's dreams. With a wall around, the big gate, central and perimetral garden... a very traditional Xuanghen house, extremely beautiful, smaller but luxurious. It's located in a very lively side of Shiirhuang, close to Old Luo's manor and right behind BangSul's residence.
The house was made following all of their tastes, the children helped to design their own rooms, especially for what concerns the walls themes.

The garden has ponds, cherry and plum trees and is in perfect feng-shui style with the right positioning of plants, waters and rocks. It also includes the classic stone bench under the cherry tree of course.

The family can soon move to their newest - and hopefully long lasting - home and as promised, WonPil has to organise a party for the family and friends, altough he isn't very motivated for it.
In the invitation for WuXin, it's specified that TiShan won't be present, so the guys can freely come safely.
They send the invitation to Deidara and family too, even if they are well aware not to be the only family in the world to move to a new home or to organise a party for it :v

WonPil and MoonPil work together to set the house for the party, while Itachi takes care of the food.
A couple of hours before the estimated time for the party, Old Luo comes to take TiShan away with him, to spend the evening together as TiShan can't be at the party.
A couple of minutes after his son leaves, WonPil has a breakdown and MoonPil takes him bed to have some rest and calm down.

The party starts at 8 pm and they invited literally every friend and family or aquaintances.

Strangeness?


The young Huo at the entrance of Cloud Recesses were very determined to respect the order they received: not to let anyone in until the special guests would leave.
For the time being, the whole area was ironclad. The guests in question are from a very isolated and secretive sect that has never gotten involved with the rest of the world, in the last centuries - that is known. They didn't even participate to the wars against the Hai and Zhi and it is unknown whether they heard about those matters or if they were totally clueless.

The fact they were finally willing to a contact with the Huo was an event of extraordinary importance for the sects world and Cloud Recesses couldn't take any risks with them. The clan leader himself came and letting some outsiders in while he was there would be potentially dangerous for the upcoming relationship between the clans, especially if it's about Imperials - that the said clan seems to be especially hostile towards.

Eventually, the young Huo got softened up enough by TiShan's condition - and also thanks to the influence of their venerable senior brother ShiSui - and accepted to let WonPil and his son in. Only them two and only to the Cold Springs area. One of the two guards accompanied them straight there through a secondary path, keeping as much distance as possible from the main area with the buildings - where they assumed the guests would be.

WonPil proceeded with his part, spent some time in the springs, making sure that TiShan would get soaked. He just kept him in his arms while inside the water, freezing to death himself but resisting for the sake of his child.
After some time, he just took TiShan on his back and left the place, returning to his friends. Both himself and the young Huo thought to have been discreet and secretive enough, but in truth, they were seen by someone.

After joining back with his friends, they simply returned to BangSul's place where WonPil offered some snacks to Itachi and ShiSui.
