100 Years later-The little lost bunny, Ti-Ao!

Following the Red Thread-Immortal's instructions, the little fairy Ti-Ao leaves his home to find the one in the book of marriage (Feng Lu Xin) but the heavenly palace is so huge (not to mention the realm that includes many mountains, cliffs or gardens) that he easily gets lost.

Even though his destination is marked on the map handed by Lao Bai and everything is clear and explicit,Ti-Ao has no sense of direction from the very first day that he is born and he mistakenly exits the heavenly palace. Wandering for some months between the realms, the little boy ends up dirty and unrecognisable and also because of his forgetful nature, Ti-Ao forgets the name of the person that he is searching.

In a desperate moment, he starts panicking, changes his body into the bunny shape again and starts senselessly hopping until he intrudes Taohua. When he's out of energy, the small white ball faints and only the smell of carrots or fresh lettuce can bring him back to life.

Seeing that the little boy doesn't come back after all this time, the Red Thread-Immortal pays a short visit to the Fate-Immortal, Ming Yun, to find out about Ti-Ao's fate.

(Ming Yun is a dashing-handsome young man that is courted by many fairies from the palace,in comparison with the Red Thread Immortal who only receives visits from these ladies to influence him to give them a good marriage matching.Only one glance from him can make many fall on the ground or melt like the ice under the sun's rays. Shortly, the old Bai fells a bit embarrassed when he's around the young glowing Immortal of Fate.)

Ming Yun was concentrating on his books

when the Red Thread-Immortal silently enters the library dressed up as a tortoise fairy and startles him with his foolishly pranks, he throws a black spider on the scroll he was reading to catch his attention.

"Old man, what are you doing in my library? Where did you come from? Get out of here, I don't have time for you. I'm busy right now, go back to your flock!, yells the angry young man."

"Ming Yun, look closely! Who it is? Don't you recognize me? Hihihihihi...!!!!, replies back the round tortoise shell."

He looks closely but seems not to recognize him.

Ming Yue tells him that he doesn't know him and chases him away making waves with his right hand.

"It's me, it's me!!! Look again!, and the old man points his finger at his white beard. "Hmmm???? Do you recognize me now?"

The Fate-Immortal measures his stature with his eyes and suddenly his eyes stops in one point, the old man's beard. You would ask yourselves what's so great about a white long beard but this was no ordinary braided beard, it was tied with a red glowing thread, an unique red thread that only the Red Thread-Immortal was capable of producing and owning. Ming Yue suddenly comes to his senses and exclaims: "It's you old Bai!"

"That's the way to speak to your senior, young man?, seriously scolds him the Red Thread-Immortal.

"Why are you here, old Bai? We're friends aren't we? Don't you always ask me my advice when you're matchmaking these fairies and immortals? This is how I avoided my marriage many times, you owe me this favour! I hope you will not forget your debt and unwillingly tie a red thread on me under the influence of these crazy ladies!"

"Ehhhhhh.....don't worry Ming Yue, I have your back covered, rest assured!"

"Phew...! I'm safe!", Ming Yue gets out a sigh of relief.

"But why are you so afraid of marriage, Ming Yue? I was always curious about this."

"That's none of your business, old man! Why did you come here this time, whose fate do you want to know?",asks the immortal of fate.

"Ti-Ao!!!!", loudly replies the Red Thread-Immortal.

Ming Yue gets out "The Fairies book of fate"and starts flipping the pages in the both directions.

"Isn't this one of your fairies and if I remember well, he's just a teenager why do you want to know his fate? He's definitely too young to get married!", asks the immortal of fate.

"I am not trying to find out his fate for that purpose!"

"Then, why do you want to know it, old man?"

"I recently sent him in a mission and he hasn't returned yet! It's been months since then! What if something bad has happened to him? This kid is so forgetful sometimes. What if he forgot something and got lost somewhere in this huge place!"

"Where have you sent him?",further asks Ming Yue.

"Not that far away! To find immortal Feng Lu Xin. It should be right on this cliff and that immortal usually guards this gate of the palace.", saying this Lao Bai points with his fingers the two locations on a map of the heavenly realm.

"But old man, why have you sent this forgetful little bunny on this kind of mission? It's written in his fate not to have the sense of direction! I was the one who personally wrote that fate."

"And you're proud of that? My poor boy! What am I going to do?", says Lao Bai walking from place to place in front of Ming Yue.

"Calm down old man! Look here....(and he points on Ti-Ao's scroll of fate a location)! He's here, sound and safe! Now you know the truth, are you happy old man?"

"Taohua....but what is he doing there?", exclaims the Red Thread-Immortal.

"How should I know that? Don't ask me? I write a fate for everyone but sometimes that fate is altered by each person's own actions. Originally, he wasn't supposed to leave the Red Thread mountain until the age of twenty, I wasn't the one who sent him on this mission!"

"Can the people around you alter your fate?"

"Of course they can! This kid has a forgetful mind and poor sense of direction so I especially wrote this home life destiny for him. He won't become someone influential, he will only be a small fairy bunny living happily on his Red Thread Mount."

"So what am I going to do now?"

"I don't know old man, I'm not going to bring your kid back. Go and fetch him back yourself!"

"I guess that's the only way! Thank you Ming Yue, you helped this old man this time too!",saying these words he respectfully salutes the immortal of fate.

"Don't do that old man! It's not proper to show so much appreciation to a youngster like me. You know that I will always help you but I really can't leave this place to search for your boy because I will be punished by the Heavenly Emperor. I'm already breaking the rules by showing you these people's fates all the time."

"Oh, I understand, you don't have to excuse yourself for not going after Ti-Ao. He's one of my little fairies, so is my duty to bring him back. You already did a lot for me today, I'm grateful."

"Don't mention it! You're already welcomed here!", says Ming Yue throwing the old man a jar of peach wine.

"Where did you got this?,asks Lao Bai.

"Some fairies recently visited Taohua and picked up so many baskets of fresh peaches. I just woke up over night with dozens of baskets at my door! What could I have done with so many?"

"So you made wine.", says the old man.

"Yes. It's a good brew, it can replenish your stamina! It's good when you go on a long trip!"

"Thank you my friend, you're so thoughtful!", says the Red Thread-Immortal while he turns around and exits the library."

So now, the Red Thread Immortal has a new problem on his head and he's the only one who can fix it.
