White Day
I think Second Elder are trying to protect her. Without cultivation at least the disaster become her beautiful face will be become her boomerang
I can understand second elder wanting to protect her, but if he was going to cause her so much pain and isolation for that reason, he should have also made sure he had the power to protect her. He either didn't notice or didn't care enough about how she was bullied and neglected. Considering the state of her home, he had to know she was broke and wasn't been properly taken care of. His half a**ed protection caused her so much trouble that am not sure if it was worth it to hide her face. She might have had a sweetheart to protect her or a rich fiancee to give her a backing and protection. Instead she was treated dreadfully.
