The restriction of physical contact between men and women is not just a restriction of traditional ethics.
After all, women's defense capabilities are lower than men's, and a man and a woman cannot be alone in a room, which is also for the personal safety of women.
But...you, An Zhisu, don't want to stay in the same room with Qiu Changtian, is it just out of disgust, right?
Of course, such a reason was not recognized by Zhenjun. The other party did not even give a response, but just smiled meaningfully and then left.
So the two of them stayed in the room together. An Zhisu's face was full of frost, while Qiu Changtian was calm and composed, and he was quickly recalling how he had offended her.
Oh, I remember now.
Initially, it was because of his great fame that An Zhisu subconsciously disliked him... This was inevitable. After all, An Zhisu always felt that Ling Yunpo's strength was not weaker than Qiu Changtian, but he did not have such a transcendent status and reputation in Shushan.
Although it was just intuition, in a sense it was also the truth.
Then came the Baiyujing competition. She defeated An Zhisu through clever and flexible means, but the other party found it completely incomprehensible. This bad feeling was greatly aggravated... Perhaps in the eyes of Senior Sister An, her own Junior Brother Ling is indeed not as good as this Kunlun Qiu Changtian. This is almost the most intolerable thing.
Anyway, the attribute of protecting one's own shortcomings, when taken to the extreme, is equivalent to being unreasonable, and Ling Yunpo himself has experienced this a long time ago.
After a while, Qiu Changtian suddenly said:
"Why can't I see Master Qing Heng?"
Perhaps because of the mention of Lingyunpo, An Zhisu reluctantly responded and said:
"He gave me the chance to advance."
Qiu Changtian immediately understood and said with a faint smile:
"I see. The elders are friends and the younger ones are respectful and supportive of each other. This ethos of the Qingluo Peak lineage in Shushan is truly enviable."
This remark hit the spot for An Zhisu. What did she care about most? Lingyunpo, Su Jian, Qingluo Peak, nothing else.
So Sister An smiled innocently and said proudly:
"Of course, our Qingluo Peak lineage is like this. We value the harmony of the relationships within the sect the most. Things like other factions where brothers compete and hate each other for power and profit will never happen here."
Hearing her bragging like this, Qiu Changtian unconsciously thought of his second senior brother Song He, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage and had once secretly harmed him.
All I can say is that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are many people, the rivers and lakes are more turbulent. There is nothing that can be done about it.
"I heard that the Seven Killers Master Su Jian was also an expert in swordsmanship in Mount Shu in the past." Qiu Changtian said casually.
"Have you heard of Master's name?" An Zhisu's eyes lit up.
"I have seen the sword tablet of Qi Sha Zhenren in the Patriarch Hall of the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain," Qiu Changtian replied. "The various merits recorded on it are truly impressive."
"Yes, but what is recorded there is only one tenth or one twelfth of my master's glorious deeds." An Zhisu said with a smile, "My master once challenged various demon masters..."
She repeated to Qiu Changtian what she had boasted to Ling Yunpo.
The latter showed expressions of "surprise", "admiration", "admiration" and "respect" at the right time and in just the right way, which made An Zhisu enjoy it even more and his favorability towards him increased greatly.
"By the way, I haven't told you about Junior Brother Ling yet, right?" Perhaps her wariness was almost gone, so An Zhisu took the initiative to start the topic.
"Junior Brother Ling?" Qiu Changtian pretended to be stunned, and then he reacted, "I remember now, it's Master Qing Heng, right?"
"That's right." When it comes to Lingyunpo, An Zhisu can't stop talking about it anymore, and starts to introduce Lingyunpo to Qiu Changtian, "My junior brother is born with sword bones, does Chang Geng know about this talent?"
"I've heard of it." Qiu Changtian smiled faintly, "His entire body is like a sword blade, strong and hard to break. This is a rare talent among sword immortals."
"That's right." An Zhisu laughed. "My junior brother's talent in sword cultivation is almost as rare as a person with a clear mind of Taoism in the field of sword cultivation."
"I see." Qiu Changtian thought to himself that he was still a little inferior, but he said, "No wonder he was able to win the top 12 of Baiyujing in the past. I think the test of the Golden Palace Secret Realm this time will be a piece of cake."
"Of course." An Zhisu said confidently, "Chang Geng, just wait and see. The next one to come in will definitely be my junior fellow apprentice..."
Before he finished speaking, another True Lord came in with some people.
Qiu Changtian looked carefully and found that it was Shi Liuli!
He immediately stopped talking, knowing that his wife was smart, clever, good at math, and had a sharp intuition, so he was afraid that if he said too much, she would see something.
When An Zhisu saw that it was Shi Liuli from Penglai, and his previous words were contradicted, he lost interest in continuing the conversation for a moment. He just folded his arms and said nothing.
Shi Liuli entered the attic and quickly glanced at the two of them.
Qiu Changtian and Chang Geng Zhenren had dealt with each other last time at the Donghua Sect ruins, and their relationship was relatively good.
An Zhisu, Zhenren Jiangxiao, the last time I met him was during the Baiyujing competition. It seems that his first impression of me was not good, which needs to be carefully improved.
Thinking of this, Shi Liuli smiled and greeted Qiu Changtian.
"Master Dongyou." Qiu Changtian nodded in response, "Congratulations on winning the position of the Lord of the Golden Palace."
"It was just luck." Shi Liuli said modestly, then turned to An Zhisu and said, "Master Jiang Xiao, long time no see."
"Yeah." An Zhisu's response was extremely cold.
Therefore, Qiu Changtian became even more certain that Senior Sister An must have social aversion and her attitude towards strangers was extremely bad.
Shi Liuli naturally didn't care, or perhaps her current scheming and skills had enabled her to appear completely inconsistent, and even someone as experienced as Qiu Changtian was unable to discern her true emotions.
However, perhaps this is also the reason why An Zhisu is quite repulsive to her: this senior sister is a natural swordsman after all, and also possesses an almost intuitive acumen in some aspects.
After several attempts to find a topic, all of which were met with extremely perfunctory responses, Shi Liuli finally stopped trying to please Qiu Changtian, and started chatting with him about other topics:
"The Demon Cult is now so powerful that they even dare to get involved in the Golden Palace Secret Realm. It is really hard to imagine what they can do next."
This statement is actually irrational if you examine it carefully. Who stipulates that the Golden Palace Secret Realm must belong to the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Religion?
Qiu Changtian nodded in agreement and said seriously:
"I think that the Wei Sect Master of the Fansheng Dao has great ambitions. If his power becomes stronger in the future, it will not be a blessing for the Orthodox Church."
"That's right." Shi Liuli thought thoughtfully.
In fact, she personally felt that Wei Dongliu's reforms were quite bold - after all, with the original muddy state of Fansheng Dao, it would be of no use without drastic measures.
It was just that Master Ziwei had just made a sharp comment on the reform of the Mortal Dao not long ago, and it was impossible for Master Chang Geng to go against his master, so Shi Liuli didn't take it too seriously.
An Zhisu, on the other hand, was left aside by the two of them, and as Junior Brother Ling had not arrived yet, she became more and more anxious.
