As an orphan adopted by the Wen Clan, Wen MeiXiao never acted much like her other clan members. She was amiable, whimsical and a bit shameless sometimes. After realizing her true wishes for freedom, she hatches a plan to run away from the Wen clan t...

A hand roughly grabbed her arm, dragging her body away from the cave entrance. Wen Meixiao staggered, and met Wen Qing's eyes. "Come, we'll talk later" she proceeded to drag the younger away.
Before Wen Meixiao could leave, she needed to do one last thing. "Nie Huaisang!" She called him. "Goodbye!" She didn't know him that much but the times they spent together we're always the most interesting, and also because he was the only friend she had outside her clan.
"Uh, bye?" He answered confused.
Wen Meixiao could only nod nostalgically as if it was some sort of duty of hers, and ran back to her village. When returned home, Wen Qing snapped. "Where have you been?"
"It wasn't my fault! Wen Chao dragged me to go hunting for some monster with the other clan members. I didn't want to be there, protecting his whore."
"Don't speak that word." Wen Qing lectured. "But it was unavoidable. Let's not talk about that, but your plan for tonight. Maybe we should postpone it, seeing that other clan members are here-"
"No!" Wen Meixiao blurred. "It has to be today, and it's better that people from other clans are here. They'll hear about my 'death' and know just how atrocious this clan is! There's nothing more the Wen clan hates but embarrassment."
Wen Qing looked abnormally shocked at the younger's decision. She didn't just want to run away from the clan, she also wanted to give them a parting gift for revenge. "Alright. Have it your way. Six pm sharp, when everyone's having dinner, I'll distract Wen Ruohan and Wen Zhuliu, the strongest cultivators. Make sure it's the weaker cultivators who chase you" Wen Qing instructed.
"I'll go and set a monument on fire." Wen Meixiao added. "I've already decided- I'll burn down the statue of Old Wen, then I'll make sure people see me and chase me. Then I'll run, and jump, I'll make sure they're close behind me when I jump so they can see my fall."
Wen Qing's expression was unreadable. "Just make sure you never look back when you run. Letting you do something this dangerous is already hurting me, but it'll hurt even more if you get caught and executed before my eyes."
Wen Meixiao smiled sadly. "Let's hope that doesn't happen. And I feel bad too, Wen Ning doesn't even know anything about this."
Wen Qing looked at the clock. "I should go now. While you were outside goofing around, I packed your bags. This one is full of cushions, wear it on your front. The second bag is cow blood. The third bag is water, food and a map."
