"But you never expected that a six-year-old child could escape from such a tight net."

It's easy to imagine that if he hadn't joined the Lingxian Palace, even if he had escaped, he would have had no way to seek revenge.

She had heard another version of life in her master's heartfelt words. She joined the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. Although Cheng Liang was willing to help her, he was actually using this as an excuse to unify the Northern Region.

That version of Ye Chenmeng was a fool. Not only did she willingly become someone's harem member, but she also forgot her blood feud and let many people go based on Cheng Liang's few words.

Ye Qinghan didn't know what kind of ending would be good, but she knew that her master had never had any selfish motives and that everything he did was for her.

She was glad that she was Ye Qinghan, and not Ye Chenmeng.

Ye Qinghan's master is a guy with no ambitions; his biggest dream is to get rich and not have to haggle when buying groceries.

Even though she knew her master meant well, she still wanted to know the truth behind it all, to know the answer she shouldn't know.

Ye Qinghan leaned back in his chair, feeling more exhausted than ever before. Even when facing endless ferocious beasts, he had never felt so heavy.

Knowing the truth lay behind the door, an instinctive fear welled up within Ye Qinghan, leaving him unsure how to speak.

As long as you ask a question, you'll most likely get the answer you want, but that answer might not satisfy her.

"Tell me what you know."

Using a woman's last remaining blood and flesh as leverage to blackmail her is not Ye Qinghan's style.

But Ye Qinghan was too lazy to think about so much at the moment. She was neither a saint nor a pushover. All she wanted was the truth and revenge!

After doing all that, all she wanted was to be with her master every day, to be close to him, and to help him practice calligraphy.

The woman glanced at the girl kneeling beside her, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke.

"How much does Your Highness know?"

"If you don't want to tell me, I have other ways to get the answer."

There was no other way; the woman had to be honest.

The woman's name was Su Yuan. Back then, she was just a maidservant under the Demon Emperor, and her daily work was simply to serve him.

When the Empress went hunting, she saw a man fall from the sky, seriously injured. She rescued him and brought him back to the Demon Capital.

The man was a celestial being who, unable to defeat humans in battle, broke through the gate between the two realms and fled here, defying taboos.

His subordinates all advised the Demon Emperor that this person was exceptionally powerful and might be difficult to control, potentially leading to his subjugation.

However, the Demon Emperor is still young, exceptionally talented, and possesses remarkable strength. He also has his own ambitions and ideals.

That is to hope that the human and demon races can shake hands and make peace, so that everyone can be happy.

Su Yuan didn't believe such a thing either. In the eyes of the demon race, the human race was inherently untrustworthy.

Similarly, none of the Demon Emperor's subordinates believed that anyone could do such a thing, as the war between humans and demons had never ceased at that time.

The General of the North's army has been stationed on the border for many years, leading to constant friction, compounded by interference from the demon race and various immortal sects.

Shaking hands and making peace—it's not that easy.

In the eyes of the demon race, this was nothing more than the Demon Emperor's unrealistic and naive fantasy.

Returning to the immortal who descended from the sky, this gave the Demon Emperor a breakthrough. With the immortal's help, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The Demon Emperor felt that by starting with her to accept the human race and setting a good example, this idea could be better promoted.

Years of war have left the demon race destitute and its people in dire straits. She longs for the demon people to also live a prosperous life and to lead them out of this bitter and cold land.

"But as it turns out, humans are not trustworthy."

Ye Qinghan's icy voice reflected the bitter cold, making it impossible to feel any emotion.

The Demon Emperor offered the man high office and generous rewards, and treated him well. At first, the man was indeed very kind.

But as we all know, it's easy to do something, but difficult to keep doing it consistently.

When the human race, the demon race, and all the immortal sects learned that the immortal had descended to the mortal realm, they were initially wary of the immortal's strength and all tried to curry favor with him.

However, it wasn't long before his true colors were revealed.

Soon, the immortal failed the test and fell for the enemy's divisive tactics, leading to mutual suspicion between him and the demon emperor.

But if you think about it, you'll understand: who could tolerate the criticism of an entire race?

If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but this man was a celestial being from heaven, so how could he endure everyone's disdain forever?

Even though the Demon Emperor was very kind to him, he still couldn't bridge the gap between them.

It was a sensitive time, with many forces eyeing the situation covetously. In the end, even the immortal was successfully turned against him, as was Su Yuan.

His personal maids, civil and military officials, all harbored ulterior motives, and the Demon Emperor ultimately became a truly lonely figure.

Twelve powerful demon clan members holding important positions harbored rebellious intentions and joined forces with other races to launch a revolution.

In Su Yuan's eyes, the rebels were not them, but the Demon Emperor!

By the time the immortal realized he had been used, it was too late. The banner of eliminating the rebels had already been raised, and this was a campaign against the Demon Emperor.

Such a cowardly demon emperor is not what the demon race needs.

From top to bottom, all of the Demon Emperor's confidants were eliminated one by one in order to completely isolate him.

All those who sided with the Demon Emperor were slaughtered along with their entire families. This was a change of the times; the demon race had no need for a cowardly ruler.

Of course, besides Su Yuan, she also needed to continue monitoring the Demon Emperor and providing cover for everyone.

As Su Cheng said, it was not the work of any one person, but rather the work of destiny.

That's true, but it's not just that.

The immortal also died in that rebellion, but on a different battlefield, facing the mastermind behind it all.
