tbh i want to see a fic where pre-spy reveal, sqh jokingly flirts with yqy to get out of situations.
to be clear, yqy lets things slide bc he thinks its funny.
when sqh starts the whole spiel: "...and have i mentioned, your shoulders look especially wide today, zhangmen-shixiong~~~ new cultivation routine? we're so lucky to have such a strong, dedicated sect leader..." right after mu qingfang off-handedly asks how sqh sourced some demonic medicinal plant so quickly, yqy fully assumes sqh has some black market/demonic dealings. he just doesnt really care too much, so he just acts flattered and moves the conversation along while the other peak lords look a bit weirded out
sqh uses this often bc he did it once without thinking and it worked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and yeah, maybe yqy has more "eldest daughter" vibes than his normal "mean and sexy" type, but yqy is built and nice and doesnt make fun of him, those are good things! flirting isnt too hard!
idk if this goes full yueshang (if thats the ship name), but regardless, after the spy reveal lqg is 2x more pissed and accuses sqh of playing with yqy's heart...good luck shang qinghua, better hope your flirting gets you back in the sect's good graces!!
