Zhu Pingniang finds herself liking Ah Qing more and more, as such a clever girl is truly a rarity. With a mere hint, Ah Qing knows exactly what to say to please her.
Indeed, Zhu Pingniang wants to tell Ah Qing that neither the Immortal Sect nor the Demon Sect has anything to do with her. The so-called villains are only those who "break the rules."
It's not that Zhu Pingniang has any fondness for the Demon Sect; in fact, she loathes that place.
But as the Patriarch, she must consider her daughter's well-being.
Ah Qing has suffered much hardship at the hands of the Immortal Sect, so it's not wise to force her to say she likes the Immortal Sect... hence Zhu Pingniang opts for a subtler way to change Ah Qing's thinking.
What Zhu Pingniang says about "good rule-abiding people" is nice, but essentially... isn't she implying that the Chaoyun Sect is good?
After all, compared to the disorganized Demon Sect, the Immortal Sect registered with the Chaoyun Sect is much more orderly.
