Come Back To Gusu. Please

Sunshot Campaign

The Sunshot Campaign has started after a full year. You, and a few of the people you know, really have grown up. You've grown to be more matured, and your lessons for using (I/N) was better, and night hunts have started at Gusu

You and your clan were assigned to go to Qishan Wen Clan.. the... clan you despise. Terribly

Terrible monsters, terrible people who belong in the depths of hell-

You walk around the place, it did feel amazing here, for the large, extravagant and lavish buildings and structures, but.. you still don't feel right. At all
You smooth out your Lan headband, turning to your left, you see Wei Ying, it's been a year since you've seen him or been bothered by him. There's a small part of you that misses him, "Eh? Ah, A-Y/N!~" The boy immediately runs up to you, stopping right in front of you, "A-Ying." You quietly say his name, a calm look on your face, "It's been a year..."

"It has!~" He laughs, putting his hand on your shoulder, to his surprise, you don't seem to care. "What do you think about this year's challenge?" He smiles widely, you sigh, "It's so silly, I wonder how the clan leader merged the Clans together" You hate Wen Ruohan to guts, you swear to Lan An, you hate that man.
"Hm, that's some question~" Wei Ying smiles, until he can hear bells ringing. Drumming together

Every clan lines up, Wen, Jiang, Lan, Jin, and Nie, all disciples lining who are affiliated to their Clans line up.

A loud, stubborn male walks up the stairs, it was.. "His Lordship Wen Chao has arrived!" You frown to yourself, this man is so full of himself. You don't complain or argue, but only in your head, this idiot probably can't shut up.

"This is Wen Chao.. does he think he's the future leader of us all?" Jiang Cheng mutters, furrowing his eyebrows, glaring. "I guess that's why they arranged the seating this way." Wei Ying says in return, he frowns too

"His lordship, Wen Ruohan!" A tall and broad man walks out of the building, hands crossed behind his back. Oh yes, that old man. Anger boils in your blood, this old, crusty man-
"Master Wen of renowned prestige, will live as long as heaven and earth!" Of course the Wens will bow down to their sect leader, but the other clans, including you, just bow normally.

"All of you rise." Wen Ruohan says, as humble as he can be, it's just bullshit

"The year of Jimao unde the reign of Xuanzheng, the archery competition of Cultivation Conference begins now!" A Wen shouts loudly, catching everyone's attention
"Hundreds of evil spirits dwell in the stone forest. The one who shoots the most evil spirits wins. You'll leave along with black flames for wrong shots or miss shots."
The competition feels so serious, but you don't care about winning or not...
"Start!"

It was a long journey for sure, you split up from your friends, and then with a few of your clan members. Evil spirits fly through the foggy skies. One strikes towards you, but you quickly turn around, aiming your bow and arrow right at the spirit, then shooting the enemy right away. The Lan flare lights the sky, bright like cracking fireworks

Other flares light up, forming the sky with bright colors. Arrow by arrow, flames were shot up, and five Wen disciples were already eliminated. As crazy as it sounds, it doesn't bother you. The match was still going on

Your arrow shoots high in the air, but it get bumped away by another, luckily your arrow didn't miss, because it hit straight into another spirit that was passing by, you turn around, and there's Wei Ying, and Jiang Cheng, with a few other disciples, and a few Wens, "..." You don't say anything, but hold your bow tightly in your hand, "A-Ying, Jiang-Gongzi, what's going on?" You ask the ones you are familiar with, glaring daggers at Wen Chao, "Ah, Wen Chao has cheated the rules-" One disciple says, but immediately shutting up when Wen Chao glares hatefully, "Cheated the rules?..."

You look at Wen Chao again, clenching tightly onto your bow, "You're cheating your own rules? How pointless." You insult, making him even more pissed after just realizing that his shot didn't make you get eliminated, "You..!" He immediately points three arrows at you, shooting at you in a fast speed. "A-Y/N...!-" Wei Ying warns, but then, a figure of a male leaps through the air, shooting an arrow at one of the three, snapping it in half, and then killing a evil spirit from nearby.

A Lan flare shoots up in the air, and landing down, was Lan Zhan, "A-Zhan?" You blink, looking at the taller male, who stares back at Wen Chao, "You..! You people!" Wen Chao walks away in defeat, throwing his bow to another Wen
"Lan Zhan, nice shot!" Wei Ying says, his voice filled with relief and amazement. But looking upon Lan Zhan, his headband was slightly tilted awkwardly

He doesn't say anything, but walks away after giving you a soft look and nod, "Hey, Wangji! Your headband is not straight!" But Lan Zhan doesn't believe Wei Ying, "Liar."

"It's true this time!" Wei Ying runs up to him, and in an instant, "Lemme help you-" He tugs on Lan Zhan's forehead ribbon, making it slip off. Your eyes widen, (at least it wasn't you) you didn't expect Wei Ying to rip the headband off of Lan Zhan! "..A-Ying- you...!" You called out to your friend, but your tone was strained, staring back at the angered expression on Lan's Zhan's face

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean too-" Wei Ying backs up, confused and a little afraid, "H-here, you can tie it back yourself...!"

But Lan Zhan clenches to his bow so tightly, it snaps into two, "This is really just a headband, right?" Wei Ying is misunderstanding what the meaning of the Lan headband really was, but Lan Zhan snatches the headband away, anger and betrayal on his expression. He doesn't say anything, but stomp away

"A-Zhan...!" You call back to Lan Zhan, but he doesn't stop for you, you run after him, almost missing your footing, so you bump into his back, "A-Zhan..." You try to reason with your friend, but he stands there. A shadow casted over his face, "Y/N..." He mutters, but you can sense that he's still angry. "A-Zhan... A-Ying, didn't mean to pull the headband off..." You see him put the headband back on, and then he grabs your sleeve, "Let's go."

You don't try to resist, you want to speak with Wei Ying very quickly, but that would probably escalate things. You know he hates him. (Totally hates him 😒)
