The way of the world is always like this: with the same approach, while some fail, others naturally succeed.
Clearly, when it came to diverting trouble, Zhu Pingniang was the one who failed.
But was there anyone who succeeded?
Perhaps there was.
Once, that Sect Leader Gu from Hehuan Sect, Miss Gu, did succeed... Zhu Pingniang, blind to the situation, failed to realize how passionately she had once looked at Sect Leader Gu.
That longing and attachment were so intense that not even the cold words and eyes of Zhu Tongjun could hide it.
If Zhu Pingniang were to describe it, it would certainly be more frightening than the look Qinling gave her; after all, Qinling's affection was superficial, while Zhu Tongjun's gaze was buried beneath a cold facade, like a volcano under the deep sea, restrained for too long, and once erupted, who knows what it would be like.
