Zhu Pingniang was silent for a moment, then she smiled.
Indeed, the moment she said those words, it was as if she dismissed the girls' current emotions, efforts, and connections as worthless.

"I'm speaking the truth too."
Zhu Pingniang met the Shopkeeper's gaze: "I indeed have the ability to give you all a better life, yet I didn't do it."
"Sis." The Shopkeeper took a sip from the tea poured by Zhu Pingniang, savoring it carefully, then put it down and asked, "In Sis's eyes, are we just beggars by the roadside?"
Are they beggars asking for food?
"If you were beggars, I would've kicked you away long ago." Zhu Pingniang replied, "I don't like dirty people, you know that."
"Yet you still say things to upset me." The Shopkeeper pouted.
In her heart, the most dazzling one will always be this woman working late into the night doing accounts, this woman finding musician jobs for the girls, this woman who stands in front to protect her.
What Immortal Sect?
