I don't know what Jiang Fengxian is thinking. Anyway, after Zhouyang expressed his intentions, she didn't force him to give her a satisfactory explanation.
Perhaps she is also conflicted inside, not knowing what kind of explanation she truly wants.
Zhouyang's words had some rhetoric in them, but the logic was not wrong.
If, because of her pressure, Zhouyang abandoned his current Dao companion to be with her, with her pride, she probably wouldn't be willing to accept that outcome.
However, asking her to willingly lower herself and share a Dao companion with other women is something she absolutely cannot do.
Thus, the matter was temporarily put indefinitely on hold as Zhouyang hoped, never to be brought up again.
Jiang Fengxian's attitude returned to how it was before they encountered the Wood Demon, as if nothing had happened between them because of the entanglement in the Cyan Treasure Cauldron, at least on the surface.
