Listening to Zhu Pingniang’s words, Miss Lu was montarily at a loss for what to say.
"Ms. Zhu, I didn’t an... I’m not looking down on you..."
She suddenly felt a bit wronged.
"I understand what you an." Zhu Pingniang held Miss Lu’s hand and said, "The girls who co here, no matter what past they have, it shouldn’t be surprising. I should have told you early on to keep an open mind."
Zhu Pingniang’s words were sincere.
Among the girls at Flower Moon Building, having an unusual background is quite normal.
After all, can there be anything more outrageous than Zhu Tongjun becoming the Madam here and even performing on stage herself?
As the owner of Flower Moon Building, Zhu Tongjun herself is one of the girls here, so her past as Zhu Tongjun alone is enough to shock anyone.
To surpass her, maybe only Ah Bai or the Sect Leader stepping down to serve custors could possibly...
"Ahem."
Zhu Pingniang spat lightly.
She shouldn’t think like that.
If Ah Bai knew she was joking about the Sect Leader like this, with her admiration and respect for him, she probably wouldn’t speak to her for years.
The Sect Leader won’t do, but that person from the Demon Sect might.
"It’s just killing soone, a trivial matter. Didn’t Ah Qing say they were all people who broke the rules? Even if I don’t have the right to say they deserved to die... but they’re dead now, can your sister really bla Ah Qing for a few deceased?"
Zhu Pingniang spat lightly again.
Why would she bla her own daughter for so people she’s never even seen?
So, of course, she’s on Ah Qing’s side.
Seeing Miss Lu’s stunned look, Zhu Pingniang thought for a mont and smiled, "You were trained by , and killing a bad person makes you lose sleep?"
Hearing the indifferent tone of Zhu Pingniang, Miss Lu couldn’t help but sigh.
Am I just timid?
Ah Qing is a Half-Demon, after all.
And among Half-Demons, those who’ve touched human blood and those who haven’t can be distinguished at a different threat level.
It’s like a wild tiger on a mountain.
A tiger that’s taken a life compared to one that hasn’t... can they be the sa?
As the Steward of Flower Moon Building, she had to consider the safety of the girls. Unlike Zhu Pingniang, she didn’t have absolute confidence or a broad mind to accept everything.
As the de facto "manager" of Flower Moon Building, Miss Lu actually had to think more thoroughly than Zhu Pingniang.
"Ms. Zhu, an awakened Half-Demon that even the Immortal Sect finds hard to deal with, and one who’s taken a life..." Miss Lu looked worriedly at Zhu Pingniang’s slender fra and finally couldn’t help but say, "You... can you handle it?"
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
She stared blankly at Miss Lu in front of her, only to see her full of concern.
Though Zhu Pingniang’s figure was tall and slender, overall she appeared thinner because her stature wasn’t as good as Ah Qing’s.
When it cos to girls fighting, it’s either about their physique or how ruthless they are.
It seed in these two aspects, Zhu Pingniang didn’t have the upper hand compared to a Half-Demon.
"Sister, honestly, I kept feeling, feeling... that if you and Ah Qing really fought, she could pin you down on the table." Miss Lu cautiously ntioned.
No kidding.
When she saw Zhu Pingniang being blocked by Ah Qing from kissing her, she instinctively felt that Zhu Pingniang wasn’t Ah Qing’s match.
Like really being pinned down and roughed up on the table.
Zhu Pingniang: "?"
, not capable?
She sprang up from her chair, eyes wide open, "Who says I can’t beat Ah Qing?"
She wasn’t going to take that lying down.
Zhu Tongjun had never been afraid of anyone in a fight; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been such a cold fairy woman openly, yet always called a madwoman behind her back.
"Hmph, you’re still not as good as Qin’Er. She would never think I’m weaker than others." Zhu Pingniang said, not quite happy.
Once upon a ti, in Qinling’s eyes, she was the strongest woman in the world.
It was from Qinling that Zhu Pingniang started to like being seen with worshipful eyes by her own daughters... Thus, upon hearing her competence being questioned, she had such a dramatic reaction.
"You naughty girl, I should have told you, I’m very capable." Zhu Pingniang glared at Miss Lu.
"A girl saying she’s capable... isn’t that normal?" Miss Lu muttered, "I say I’m capable too... who knows."
Zhu Pingniang’s eye twitched.
So she was boasting when she told Miss Lu she was capable?
"I’m really quite capable." Zhu Pingniang emphasized.
"Does a truly powerful Immortal Sect mber spend their days dealing with brothels and abacuses like you?" Miss Lu retorted.
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
She was at a loss for words.
She suddenly felt a bit aggrieved, "Girl, I haven’t lied to you, have I?"
Miss Lu couldn’t help but sigh, "Sister, how can I not believe you? It’s just... trusting you and being worried don’t contradict each other, right? After all, my experience only goes so far."
Even if she knew Zhu Pingniang might really be powerful, wouldn’t she still be concerned?
To her, a Half-Demon was a calamity, and she didn’t understand the nuances of their strength.
Miss Lu paused her tone, "Ms. Zhu, it’s not like you tell much about your Immortal Sect days, so I really lack the knowledge and am unaware of your true skills."
"Enough, whenever I talk about the Immortal Sect, when have you ever shown interest?" Zhu Pingniang spat lightly.
"You never talk about your own stuff, always telling about the Profound Sword Bureau or the Fire Spirit Sect... how could I be interested?" Miss Lu asked.
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
