Meigui Pov
A year later
"Are you ready? We're almost there". Father said, I did a nod. My father wished for me to accompany him to the archery conference to introduce myself to the other clans, particularly to Wen Rohan. He and my father have a long history and were friends until an incident caused a rift between them, leading to silence. Currently, there is tension between our sect and theirs, marked by a profound rivalry in power and skills.
"I'm ready". I said, He gently touched the bruise on my cheek, a mark left by my mother. Upon my return, she had reprimanded me for getting Li into trouble during our time in Cloud Recesses, and her strike resulted in this faint bruise. It's less visible now, but upon closer inspection, it can still be seen.
"If they ask what happened, say it was from training, saves you the embarrassment in front of the other sects". He spoke.
"This is getting worse, since your older now she's been more violent towards you, the better you marry Wei Wuxian the better". He said.
"That also means leaving you alone again". I said with furrowed eyebrows.
"I will be fine on my own. Your future and happiness are what matter most to me, and that's all I wish for you. Staying there with your mother may cause you to lose control". He said, I sighed.
"I wish things were different; I want to establish a bond with her, but despite my efforts, she always angry when I approach her". I said sadly.
"I know it hurts, Meigui, but nothing will change her mind about you, don't waste your time on someone like her who doesn't want to give you a chance". He said.
"Are you really going to divorce her? won't that ruin-".
"We'll talk about that later when we get home, don't speak of it now". He said.
"Yes, father". I said in understanding, Father placed his hand down and looked ahead with a serious and stern expression as we arrived at the Wen sect. He alighted first and then assisted me in getting off.
"Do you understand what you have to do?". He asked seriously.
"Yes, father, I won't disappoint you". I said seriously but also with worry of the outcome of his plan.

"So, this must be your eldest daughter, Baihe Meigui; she indeed possesses a striking beauty with a sharp demeanor". Sect Leader Jin said with a smile, I stood beside my father, who was seated next to Sect Leader Jiang. With the competitors gone, the clan leaders were engaged in conversation amongst themselves.
'He disgusts me, he reminds me of Natsu'. I thought with disgust, it was bad enough that Wen Chao was eyeing me like a piece of meat and basically eye raping me, I had to stop the urge of walking over and punching the living hell out of him.
