Jianghu
- Qiu Chuji says he has no interest in being Wulin Alliance Leader.
- If the Wulin Alliance wants to attack the Mud Cult, Qiu Chuji is willing to go, but mainly because he does not believe the Mud Cult is a Demon Cult and means to talk them around.
- If the Mud Cult really is a Demon Cult, he intends to rid the people of it.
- If Yin Zhiping's favor is high and Zhao Huo's Morality is high, Qiu Chuji proposes taking Zhao Huo as a lay closed-door disciple, that is, as Yin Zhiping's Junior Brother.
- The proposal scene is implemented, but that Quanzhen Sect route is not yet implemented.
