As an observer, there's actually no need to deeply understand Xu Chang'an to know the principles he acts on.
It's almost all for that Miss Yun.
From cultivation to all his efforts now, it's all for Yun Qian.
Although Zhu Pingniang knows it's not quite right to think this way, she indeed believes... just like Xu Chang'an putting effort into cultivation, including his respect for her, is also for Yun Qian.
Zhu Pingniang isn't shooting in the dark, after all, Xu Chang'an clearly knows best how to maintain distance from women, yet he endures to maintain a good relationship with her.
Clearly, it's for Yun Qian.
For example, if he has a good relationship with her, she can help take care of Yun Qian when Xu Chang'an is working hard in the Chaoyun Sect for the future, allowing Xu Chang'an to cultivate with peace of mind.
Thinking of this... Zhu Pingniang can't help but feel somewhat like a qualified tool.
