It’s become pretty fanon-typical to have Qi Qingqi openly dislike Shen Jiu for his alleged perversion, but have we considered Qi Qingqi Being Scared Of Shen Jiu? After all, he is the second highest authority in the sect, could get away with anything with how the sect leader favors him. He never denies the accusations hurled at him like any reasonable, innocent person would. Qi Qingqi is reasonably sure she could over power Shen Jiu in a physical fight if it came down to it, but what about her peak? Her disciples? The other women and girls within the sect she feels obligated to? How would he retaliate if denied? Maybe Qi Qingqi avoids Shen Jiu as much as she can. She tries to never be in the same room alone with him. She sticks to the arms of her other martial siblings just in case. Her peak is the only place that feels safe from that man’s influence, but she can’t help but recall the 14 year old girl merely a footpath away from him, far away from any safe haven.
