She wouldn’t think Ah Qing approached Zhu Tongjun, because with their abilities, someone like Zhu Tongjun and Li Zhibai wouldn’t be worth her effort.

For a while, Ah Qing’s behavior of dressing flamboyantly and dancing, besides personal preference, Shi Qingjun couldn’t find any other reason.

"Shi Qingjun," Ah Qing suddenly called her in a calm tone.

"..."

Shi Qingjun tilted her head, only after a moment did she realize the other was calling her.

No one had ever called her by her full name before.

It was quite novel.

Unexpectedly, it was also somewhat warm.

Shi Qingjun didn’t know what she felt in her heart now, but she really hadn’t thought the atmosphere would be like this after meeting Ah Qing.

No arguments, not only able to converse quietly, but there was even a kind of inexplicable atmosphere.

Especially... Shi Qingjun didn’t know why, but from the beginning, Ah Qing had an indescribable blush on her face, adding a few degrees of allure to the atmosphere.

Interesting.

Especially Ah Qing speaking seriously, but with an indescribable blush on her face, rendered her exhibited indifference unconvincing.

For the current Shi Qingjun who appreciates beauty, Ah Qing in front of her gave an indescribable feeling.

To put it bluntly, somewhat like those Li Hua cats perched on the window in the Flower Moon Building, fierce, but very cute.

"Shi Qingjun."

"Hmm."

No one had ever called her like this; was this the "equality" she wanted? Shi Qingjun couldn’t quite understand either, so she quietly looked at Ah Qing, wanting to know why she called her this way.

Only to hear Ah Qing say, "Shi Qingjun, following your Dao, I’ve really taken quite a few detours..."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, not easy at all." Ah Qing nodded.

Regarding the Dao Rhyme, the Abyss Sea, and even the gradually lost feelings before, she indeed endured a lot of hardships.

After a simple conversation, the two women looked at each other for a while, with Ah Qing being the first to avert her gaze, to which Shi Qingjun felt was normal, as the person in front of her was not the other’s true form, just an avatar with an eighty percent similarity in thinking.

However...

Shi Qingjun unexpectedly glanced at Ah Qing and said in a calm tone, "I hadn’t thought you were following me."

Every Qiankun Realm practitioner has their pride, how could they go back to imitating others?

Especially the proud ones from the Demon Sect, to say they are following my path, Shi Qingjun was somewhat astonished.

"That’s understandable," Ah Qing shrugged slightly.

Who was the Immortal Chaoyun back then?

There’s nothing shameful about cultivating along her Dao, self-respect isn’t to be used in such matters.

"No," Shi Qingjun suddenly recalled something, shaking her head gently. "Following my Dao wouldn’t lead you to the Frosty Heaven."

Ah Qing being able to reside in the Qiankun means she’s walked her own Dao.

"You’re still underestimating yourself," Ah Qing smiled slightly, not explaining, just glancing at the feast platform, saying, "Since neither of us wants the Dao Rhyme... can you not mind my business?"

"What do you mean?" Shi Qingjun thought she wouldn’t meddle in others’ affairs.

"The Flower Moon Building." Ah Qing lifted her skirt hem and spun around in front of Shi Qingjun, as the skirt swung up in ripples, she said, "I actually quite like it here."

"..." Shi Qingjun took a deep look at Ah Qing.

Sure enough, Ah Qing must have known Xu Chang’an’s hidden identity... at the very least, she knew some of his abilities, otherwise, why would someone of Ah Qing’s stature say such a thing.

What’s so worthwhile about liking the Flower Moon Building? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Shi Qingjun thought to herself, suddenly pausing.

No.

This place seems quite endearing.

Shi Qingjun didn’t give a specific response to Ah Qing, and Ah Qing knew this well, she didn’t expect Shi Qingjun to really pretend this matter hadn’t happened...

After all, chatting with her here at the brothel was already quite unbelievable in itself.

So today’s conversation couldn’t really go well.

It seemed they could talk calmly on the surface, but the logic had long since dissipated; neither Shi Qingjun nor she was prepared to talk serious matters in a brothel...

So regarding the Demon Sect and the Chaoyun Sect, as well as the Great Competition Era, external demon threats, and other ’serious matters’, she and Shi Qingjun tacitly wouldn’t bring them up.

One performer in Qiankun Realm on stage.

One in a brothel being served by courtesans in Qiankun Realm.

Merely meeting was awkward enough... so the best choice was to casually chat, then pretend nothing happened, and discuss matters later if needed.

After today’s simple conversation, Ah Qing found herself more at ease facing Shi Qingjun, she was just surprised that Shi Qingjun saw her in such an embarrassing state, yet she wasn’t embarrassed at all.

Could it be that her skin had thickened after being in the Flower Moon Building?

"It’s not like that..." Ah Qing sighed, covering her face, with her earlobes blushing uncontrollably.

She wasn’t without shame, but the sense of shame from Shi Qingjun is far less compared to being watched by Xu Chang’an, so she could converse calmly with Shi Qingjun now.

If Xu Chang’an weren’t around, and Shi Qingjun saw her performing onstage, she might really feel like dying.

"Shall we talk about anything else later?" Ah Qing suggested.

"Later..." Shi Qingjun thought for a moment, then said, "Abyss Sea?"

"No, please don’t come over," Ah Qing’s eye twitched slightly.
