To completely destroy something, the best method wasn't to directly pour a cup of water on it, nor to burn it with fire.
Instead, it was to let it start cracking on its own, little by little until finally, it would naturally shatter.

Pei Ruoshui lowered her eyes submissively and nodded formally, "Yes, President, I understand."
