The two close friends' sighs didn't really make much sense, and Kong Ziyi understood that perfectly well.
Interfering in another sect's internal selection wasn't just a matter of offending people; it could get people killed!
But she couldn't hold it against her friends. Everyone had their own camp and position. If the two of them only looked after their friends and forgot their sect, that would be inappropriate—and Feng Jun wasn't even really their friend.

She had thought her plan was quite good—simple, clear, and highly practical. She had been more than willing to act as Feng Jun's representative and help him deal with his troubles. So why did it now feel as though things had slipped out of control?
Unable to figure it out, she remembered that Feng Jun didn't seem surprised at all and went to ask him what was going on.
Hearing her question, Feng Jun smiled casually. "Just adapting to circumstances. But this Scarlet Luan really is formidable. You can't beat her when it comes to schemes."
Kong Ziyi naturally refused to accept that—she didn't think she was any less intelligent than Scarlet Luan—so Feng Jun explained the changes to her.
