Yinhwa's Pov

"Yinhwa!" My brother called out while I sat on the floor in the library, engrossed in a book. "What's up?" I responded without lifting my gaze.

"I need you to attend the conference at the Unclean Realm with me today," He replied, and I peered at him. "Is it important?" I asked, to which he nodded, prompting me to stand.

"All the Clan Leaders are inquiring about your marriage plans. They're eager for you to wed their sons, especially Clan Leader Yao," He explained as we entered my room.

"Him? Even after everything I've done? Wait isn't his son still 20?!" I questioned. "He isn't plotting to marry me off to his daughter, is he?" I pondered as I changed my attire.

"Who knows, perhaps. How are things between Wanyin and Wei Ying?" Qingqiu inquired, facing the other direction.

"They're doing quite well. Wei Wuxian has been spending time in Yunmeng lately. Jiang Cheng's slowly reverting to his old self from before Shijie passed."

"And Wei Wuxian is, um, well, being Wei Wuxian-running around, engaging with the disciples, napping, lounging about, the usual antics," I explained.

"How do I look?" I asked. "You look splendid," He complimented, planting a kiss on my head as we made our way to the Unclean Realm.

"It's been ages since I was here," I remarked looking around.

We entered the room and respectfully bowed to everyone present

We entered the room and respectfully bowed to everyone present. "Forgive us for our tardiness, Clan Leader Nie," Qingqiu expressed, to which Huaisang shook his head.

"No trouble at all, Clan Leader Chang. Please, take a seat, both of you,"

Huaisang invited, and we settled in. I found myself seated between Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, the latter greeting me with a wave that I reciprocated.

"Ahem! Now that everyone's here, shall we commence the meeting?" Nie Huaisang proposed, initiating hours of discussions.

Time Skip~~~

"Alright, let's conclude the meeting for today," Huaisang suggested as evening approached.

"Since it's almost night fall, why don't you all stay and relax before departing?" He signaling for servants to bring forth fruits and delicacies for our refreshment.

"Since Miss Chang is here, shall we discuss it?" Huaisang inquired, and I smiled, sipping my wine. "Discuss what, Huaisang?" I asked, prompting a chuckle from him as he waved his fan.

Amidst the surprised whispers because of how I addressed Huaisang with an amused tone. "What did you expect me to call you formally now that you're a 'Clan Leader' ?"

"No, no, Ah-Yii. You're welcome to address me however you please. We're friends; no need for formalities," Huaisang replied, and my brother sighed.

"It's about your marriage," He continued, and I set my glass on the table.
