After three hours of searching, Guo Baiyu and Zhao Renshu met Aishu on their way to find their wife. Aisha showed them the way. The two saw Ping'an standing, and staring down at the Northern Fortress.
Zhao Renshu, "Do you think Aishu said something to her?"
Guo Baiyu, "Don't you mention it in front of her?"
Zhao Renshu, "If she decides to stay here, what would you do?"
Guo Baiyu, "I will be with her. These people are very nice."
Zhao Renshu stopped, "No! Please, you will have to use your brain to persuade her to leave this place. I will not be able to survive on plants and apples."
Gou Baiyu reminded Zhao Renshu, "Remember what she told us in the past? The best thing she encountered was meeting us. I can live here with on plants and apples. If that makes her happy. If you want to eat meat, we can visit Waterfall City."
Zhao Renshu laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid someone will snatch you to be their husband?" He teased whispering softly, "What if Fang Yaoting happens to come to Waterfall City?"
Gou Baiyu shook his head, and the two walked towards Ping'an.
Zhao Renshu shouted, "Ping'an."
Ping'an turned around and walked towards Guo Baiyu and Zhao Renshu. She asked, "Why are you two here?" She looked at Gou Baiyu. "Why are you walking?"
Guo Baiyu smiled at Ping'an, "My back ach from laying down too much."
Ping'an stared at Zhao Renshu.
Zhao Renshu quickly said, "It's not my fault. He wants to find you." He smiled at her. He walked over and kissed her lightly on her lips. "And I miss you too."
Ping'an, "Don't give me that expression."
Zhao Renshu, "What expression? I'm just a caring husband."
Guo Baiyu asked, "What is that?"
Ping'an sighed and said, "That is the Northern Fortress that stands between our world and the world of demon creatures. Aishu said that if the Northern Fortress would to fails, the Demon Gate will be opened and the Centaur kin will be the first to be wiped out. Next is Waterfall City, and the demon will descends down south, one city at a time, until these creatures completely control the land."
Guo Baiyu, "How long do we have?"
Ping'an, "She didn't say."
Guo Baiyu asked, "What role do you play in all this?"
Ping'an, "She told me a story of how Syaoran saved the world five hundred years ago." She sighed deeply. "From the story that Aishu told me, Syaoran is very powerful. He killed two winged beasts alone and closed the Demon Gate, preventing more creatures from escaping. If the Northern Fortress does fails for real I don't..."
Gou Baiyu held her left hand, "We will think about it when we cross that bridge." He smiled at her.
Zhao Renshu, "Agree. We don't have to worry. I really want to leave this place."
Ping'an looked at Guo Baiyu and Zhao Renshu. She said, "Let's take a closer look."
Guo Biayu, "Ping'an, I don't think this is a good idea."
Ping'an said, "Aishu said it's okay."
The lover walked down the small hill and entered the Northern Fortress. The faded bright magic still surrounds the the Northern Fortress's symbol on the ground.
Ping'an stood in the middle between the two orbs. She said, "I don't know what will happen if I put my hands on these two orbs."
Zhao Renshu, "Don't try anything stupid."
Guo Biayu, "You know exactly what will happen if you put your hands there."
Ping'an looked at Guo Baiyu, "Do you think I will become Syaoran?"
Both men said at the same time, "Yes."
Ping'an also wanted to know, and then she quickly put her hands on the orbs.
The two men shouted, "No." Their hands reached out to her.
Ping'an stood for a while, but nothing happened. She felt nothing. Then, she pulled her hands away and put her hands back on to the two orbs. Nothing happened.
The two men were as surprised as Ping'an.
Zhao Renshu, "I don't understand. You didn't turn. This means you are not the real Syaoran."
Guo Baiyu looked at Zhao Renshu and said, "Or maybe it's because the timing is wrong."
Piang'an said, "Even if when the time come. I don't know how I could to become Syaoran."
Zhao Renshu said, "Since you can't become Syaoran, can we leave this place?"
Ping'an smiled at Zhao Renshu, "We still have criminals to catch." She knew the real reason why he want to leave.
Zhao Renshu, "YES!" Zhao Renshu jumped around excitedly.
Ping'an, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Renshu put his arms around Ping'an's waist and put his chin on her right shoulder, "I am worried that you will stay here and refuse to go with us. Then we will eat apples and vegetables for the rest of our lives."
Ping'an scoffed, "If we must live here, you can go to Waterfall City and dine once a month or twice a month."
Zhao Renshu, "Wow...you sound like Baiyu."
Guo Baiyu smiled, "No matter where you are, we will always be by your side." He kissed her on her left cheek.
Ping'an, "To be honest, I believe Syaoran did what he did at the time because of such a moment like this." She kissed Gou Baiyu's lips, and then turned to kiss Zhao Renshu's lips.
Guo Baiyu, "A moment like this is worth it."
Zhao Renshu, "At that time I didn't know how much I loved Syaoran, but now, I know how much I love you."
Ping'an turned around and smiled at him, "When did you start talking so sweetly?" She touched his chin.
Zhao Renshu, "Since I started living with a scholar."
Ping'an turned around and embrace Guo Baiyu and Zhao Renshu. She said, "I will not trade this moment for anything. Since beginning until now, the path we have chosen to move towards the future is full of discrimination and hatred. We are always chasing the sun in pursuit of a better day, dreaming that one day we can build a home and grow old together in a place where people can accept us for who we are. Regardless of the uncertain future. As long as I walk with you two, I am not afraid to walk on this tortuous road full of thorns."
