(Summary):
A Peak Lord Meeting (drama set)
------------------------------------------------------------
Liu Qingge arrived to Cang Qiong and told everyone what happened.
-So you're allowed to meet Shen-shixiong?- asked Wei Qingwei.
Wei Qingwei was the type to express his hate through passive means, such as glaring, subtly siding with the other party, sending mediocre swords to Qing Jing Peak, etc.
Of course, he did this because he knew Shen Qingqiu can still sense all the hate sown in his words and actions no matter how small or subtle.
Then the sword Chun Hua[1], which identifies who is and who isn't virgin, started glowing brightly when close to Shen Qingqiu when the Qing Jing disciples came to claim their spiritual swords.
He started to doubt rumors after that. He wanted to testify for Shen Qingqiu in the trial, but when he tried to convince his shixiong, Shen Qingqiu said to keep silent, insisting that the people in the court will claim that Cang Qiong is just trying to save their second-in-command and their reputation.
When Luo Binghe came and confirmed all the rumors were false, including Shen Qingqiu trying to kill Liu Qingge, he only felt even more guilty. He is glad Shen-shixiong is safe now.
-Mn. I'll try and convince him to come here.- Liu Qingge's reply snapped him out of his thoughts.
-I hope he's doing alright.- Mu Qingfang said. He regretted treating Shen Qingqiu the way he did, as well as the Qing Jing disciples.
He would always put them at the bottom of the list of people he had to heal, even when they had the worst injuries. When Luo Binghe came, Ming Fan even testified how they treated their Shen Qingqiu and their peak, that even a healer would put down their dignity just to spite their Shizun. How many disciples died because of this, including one disciple that Shen Qingqiu adored.

-We thought you could help break down Shizun's walls, Mu-shibo, because you were one of of few people Shizun would allow to enter his abode, and we saw you as a patient man. That was until Chuntian Xi[2] died because you wouldn't give him proper medical attention!- Ming Fan shouted. It was the first time they heard the boy raise his voice.
-Chuntian Xi, along with Ning Yinying, was the light of Shizun's life, of our lives. He and Ning Yingying brought smiles to everyone's faces. And then he had to die a slow and painful death because of your ridiculously stupid and absurd grudges!! A'Xi, our poor A'Xi...- Ming Fan said as he sobbed. Ning Yingying also crying as she tried to comfort her Da-shixiong.

-Let's hope he can visit soon.- Qi Qingqi said. She was the one who made Shen Qingqiu's reputation hit rock bottom along with Liu Qingge. She listened to rumors without properly investigating, and went as far as banning him from her peak and influencing her disciples to hate Shen Qingqiu. She even tried to kidnap Ning Yingying when Shen Qingqiu brought her to the sect when she was two!
-As if Shen-shixiong would actually talk to you of all people.- Bin Qingzhao[3], Peak Lord of Ling Shou Peak[4], the Beast Peak, sneered.
Out of all the peak lords, Bin Qingzhao was one of three peak lords that Shen Qingqiu tolerated, and since it's Shen Qingqiu, being tolerated means that you're basically his friend, best friend if you're hopeful enough.
Whenever Shen Qingqiu would feel stressed, he would come to Ling Shou Peak to have tea with Bin Qingzhao. Since the peak lord was calm and silent most of the time, and most of the time the calm and quiet atmosphere around Qingzhao was what Shen Qingqiu needed, along with the tweeting of the baby pheonixes, the fluffy fur of the Thunder Wolves, and the meows and purrs of the Winter Flake Sabertooths, it made Ling Shou Peak the perfect hangout spot.
