Chapter 684: Chapter 18 I know the first three Chapter 684: Chapter 18 I know the first three The separation of men and women in receiving and giving is not just limited by traditional manners and etiquette.
After all, women’s defensive abilities are generally lower than men’s, and the practice of not allowing a single man and a single woman to be alone together is also a consideration for women’s personal safety.

However…
your reluctance to share a room with Qiu Changtian, An Zhisu, is just out of disgust, isn’t it?
Such a reason of course did not receive the true person’s approval, and the other party did not even respond, but just smiled meaningfully and then left.
And so, the two of them ended up staying in the same room.
An Zhisu’s face was frosty, while Qiu Changtian was calm and collected, quickly trying to recall where he had offended her.
Oh, now I remember.
Initially, it was because his own fame was too great, causing An Zhisu to subconsciously dislike him…
which was inevitable, after all, An Zhisu always felt that Ling Yunpo’s strength was not inferior to Qiu Changtian’s, yet he didn’t have such an esteemed status and reputation in Shushan.
Although it was intuition, in some sense, it was also announcing the truth.
Then there was the White Jade Capital competition, where he defeated An Zhisu by clever and flexible means, and she found she could not understand at all; such malice greatly intensified…
Perhaps in Senior Sister An’s eyes, her own Junior Brother Ling indeed was not as good as this Kunlun’s Qiu Changtian, which must have been almost unbearable.

After all, being biased to the extreme is equivalent to being unreasonable, and Ling Yunpo himself was well aware of this.
A moment later, Qiu Changtian suddenly said,
“How come Qing Heng True Person is not here?”
Perhaps because he mentioned Ling Yunpo, An Zhisu grudgingly replied,
“He gave up his chance to advance to me.”
Qiu Changtian immediately understood and said with a faint smile,
“I see.
Friends from youth, supporting each other – the atmosphere of this Qingluo Peak lineage of Shushan is indeed enviable.”
These words hit right at An Zhisu’s soft spot.
What mattered most to her?
Ling Yunpo, Su Jian, Qingluo Peak – nothing else.
So Senior Sister An couldn’t help but smile naively, proudly saying,
“Of course, our Qingluo Peak lineage has always been like this, placing great value in harmony within our sect.
The kind of competition and hostility between brothers and sisters for power and profit, as seen in other factions, is absolutely impossible here.”
Hearing her boast like this, Qiu Changtian inadvertently recalled Song He, his Foundation Establishment Realm Second Senior Brother who had once secretly harmed him.
One could only say that where there are people, there will be jianghu, and the larger the crowd, the greater the turmoil in jianghu – there is no help for it.
“I’ve heard that Seven Kills True Person, Su Jian, was once unparalleled in swordsmanship in Shushan,” Qiu Changtian casually remarked.
“You’ve heard of my master’s name?” An Zhisu’s eyes lit up.
“In the Ancestral Master Hall at Emei Golden Summit, I’ve seen the stele of Seven Kills True Person,” Qiu Changtian replied, “The various merits recorded there were indeed impressive.”
“Mm-hm, but what’s recorded there is only one-tenth or two of my master’s glorious deeds,” An Zhisu said with a smile, “In those days, my master had challenged many giants of the Demonic Path…”
She repeated to Qiu Changtian the tales she had often boasted about with Ling Yunpo.
The latter took the opportunity to show expressions of “surprise”, “admiration”, “respect”, and “reverence” at just the right moments, making An Zhisu all the more pleased, and her favorable impression of him soared immediately.
“Right, I haven’t told you about Junior Brother Ling yet, have I?” Perhaps her guard was almost completely down, An Zhisu then brought up the topic on her own initiative.
“Junior Brother Ling?” Qiu Changtian pretended to be surprised, then remembered, “Ah, you mean Qing Heng True Person, right?”
“That’s right.” When the topic of Ling Yunpo came up, An Zhisu couldn’t hold back any longer and began to introduce it to Qiu Changtian, “My junior brother is born with Innate Sword Bone.
Changgeng, do you know of this talent?”
“I’ve heard of it,” Qiu Changtian replied with a faint smile, “A body whose bones are like sword edges, firm and unyielding, a one in ten thousand talent among Sword Immortals.”
“Exactly.” An Zhisu smiled, “My junior brother’s talent for sword cultivation is almost as rare as Daoist Heart Clarity in the realm of sword cultivators.”
“I see,” Qiu Changtian thought to himself that it still seemed somewhat inferior, but he said, “No wonder he seized a spot among the top twelve at White Jade Capital in the past.
The trials of the Golden Que Secret Realm this time must be a piece of cake for him.”
“Naturally,” An Zhisu said confidently, “Just you wait, Changgeng.
The next one to come will definitely be my junior brother…”
Before she could finish, another True Person led someone in.
Qiu Changtian looked carefully; to his surprise, it was Shi Liuli!
He immediately fell silent, knowing his wife’s cleverness and wit, her skill in Art Calculation, and her sharp intuition.
He feared that speaking more might give her some hint.
Seeing that it was Shi Liuli from Penglai, and with her previous words being contradicted, An Zhisu lost the interest to continue the conversation and stood with her arms folded, saying nothing.
Shi Liuli entered the loft, her gaze swiftly sweeping over the two people.
Qiu Changtian, Changgeng True Person, had previously interacted with her during an incident at the Donghua Sect ruins, and their relationship was relatively good.
An Zhisu, Jiao Xiao True Person, last saw her during the competition at White Jade Capital, where her first impression of her was not great; she needed to carefully mend this.
With this in mind, Shi Liuli greeted Qiu Changtian with a smile and exchanged pleasantries.
“Dong You True Person,” Qiu Changtian nodded in response, “Congratulations on obtaining the position of the Golden Que’s master.”
“Just luck,” Shi Liuli said modestly, then turning to An Zhisu, she said, “Jiao Xiao True Person, it’s been a long time.”
“Hmm.” An Zhisu’s response was extremely cold.
So, Qiu Changtian became even more certain that Senior Sister An definitely had some sort of social aversion, her attitude toward strangers was simply too poor.
Shi Liuli naturally didn’t take it personally, or perhaps her ability to keep her true feelings hidden was so developed that even someone as experienced as Qiu Changtian couldn’t discern her genuine emotions.
However, perhaps this was the reason An Zhisu was so repulsed by her: this senior sister was ultimately born with Innate Sword Heart and, in some aspects, possessed nearly instinctive sharpness.
After a few attempts at making conversation were met with barely concealed indifference, Shi Liuli finally stopped trying to engage with An Zhisu, and instead began discussing other matters with Qiu Changtian:
“The Demon Cult’s influence is growing, they even dare to reach into the Golden Que Secret Realm.
It’s hard to imagine what else they might do next.”
This remark, if analyzed carefully, was actually illogical; who decided that the Golden Que Secret Realm must belong to the Three Pure Orthodox Sect?
Qiu Changtian nodded in agreement and said seriously:
“I believe that Sect Master Wei of the Mortal Life Path has great ambitions.
If their momentum grows more fierce in the future, it will not bode well for the Orthodox Sect.”
“Indeed,” Shi Liuli pondered.
In fact, she personally felt that Wei Dongliu’s reforms were bold-even with the Mortal Life Path’s previous quagmire-like state, drastic measures were absolutely necessary.
But since the Ziwei Master had sharply criticized the Mortal Life Path reforms not long ago, Changgeng True Person naturally could not contradict his sect, so Shi Liuli didn’t pay much attention to it.
Meanwhile, An Zhisu, being left out by the others and with Ling Yunpo’s junior brother yet to arrive, grew increasingly impatient.
