A small border town on the northern frontier, which has been captured by the Zhenbei Army and is being used as a command post.

Because of Dongfang Jue's strict order not to disturb the people, the main army was stationed outside the town, and only a small number of troops entered the town.

Inside the makeshift command post converted from a teahouse, dozens of generals surrounded "Dongfang Jue," all clearly harboring doubts.

"Your Majesty, we are not cowards, but we have heard that you have become a disciple of the Lingxian Palace, and all the generals and subordinates have doubts about it!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"His soldiers were all spreading the word..."

Ye Qinghan suddenly grasped the key point: "What should we transmit?"

Seemingly embarrassed by being caught, the man glanced at the two fairies beside him, then at his king, his gaze shifting, as if he wanted to say something but dared not.

Ye Qinghan suddenly burst into laughter, plopped down on the table, and sized up the generals in front of him.

"I know what you're worried about. Are you worried that I'll abandon you? Or that I'll be deceived by that Immortal Su? Or that I'm being blackmailed?"

Ye Qinghan paused for a long time, her gaze sweeping over the generals. The group of burly, brave men looked like elementary school students who hadn't done their homework and were being scolded by their teacher, their heads hanging down, not daring to look at her.

"I've already introduced them to you. These two are my senior sisters. You all know them, right?"

"Senior Sister, you should be familiar with Ye Qinghan. If you're well-informed, you should know about her. You've heard of Ye Yanwang, right?"

"Second Senior Sister, Li Shiyao, you're even more familiar with her, aren't you?"

"To be honest, even if you were tied together, it wouldn't be enough for the two of them to get the exercise they need for their morning workout, let alone Master!"

"If you wanted to harm me, would you have needed to go through all this trouble?"

With a hint of mockery, as if looking at a fool, she glanced at the men below, who all looked ashamed.

"Having joined the sect, I am related to my senior sister by blood, and we address each other as sisters. My senior sister's affairs are my affairs, that's the first point!"

"Secondly, if we win this battle, given our sisterly bond, the North and South can form an alliance, and there will be no more war. This would be beneficial to the country and its people!"

"Thirdly, the most important thing about this trip is to eliminate the barriers between humans and demons. Just as humans are divided into good and evil, so are demons."

Ye Qinghan felt that this was the Northern Region his mother had wanted. If they could make good relations with the human race, then his mother's efforts would not have been in vain.

Completely eliminating the estrangement is not something that can be done overnight, and Ye Qinghan is not in a hurry; it will always take time.

"Senior sister, am I right?"

Li Shiyao didn't speak, she just nodded.

However, this was the result of Dongfang Jue and Ye Qinghan's special instructions to Li Shiyao: to avoid speaking if possible.

Ye Qinghan wouldn't ask questions that required her to say a lot; he would simply ask her to express her opinion or nod.

At least there's some explanation here, and they've started assigning tasks. The army will split into three routes and set off tonight to sweep across the northern region!

The operational meeting was finalized a full day later, and it was already afternoon.

Li Shiyao can't rest yet. The people in this town want to see the fox demon king's blood, so Li Shiyao has no choice but to show her face.

Following behind Li Shiyao, Dongfang Jue also asked Ye Qinghan a question.

"Senior sister, is what you just said true?"

Ye Qinghan spoke as he walked, his face showing a puzzled expression.

"What?"

"That's right, Senior Sister said that just as humans are divided into good and evil, so are demons. Is that really what Senior Sister thinks?"

Ye Qinghan snorted coldly, naturally understanding what Dongfang Jue was thinking, and smiled in response.

"That's the truth, but General Dongfang, I need to observe for a while longer."

Dongfang Jue started laughing and joking. To be honest, it was already very kind of her that her senior sister gave her a chance!

At least they didn't kill her off all at once; they even gave her a chance to prove her loyalty!

"Hehe, Senior Sister, Jue'er truly wants to be sisters with you, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Ye Qinghan wasn't buying it.

"Master had already said that we should observe a person's words and actions. General Dongfang's words still need to be proven by his actions."

"However, if you can keep up this act for the rest of your life, I wouldn't mind being your sister, provided you can keep up the act for the rest of your life."

To be honest, Dongfang Jue never intended to use such a thing to gain her senior sister's trust. However, she figured her senior sister was probably in a good mood because she envisioned a future where humans and demons lived in harmony.

Dongfang Jue had also heard about it; this was something the previous Demon Emperor, Ye Qinghan's mother, had been hoping for.

The reason is not hard to guess. Ye Qinghan's good mood is probably more because she saw the hope of fulfilling her mother's dream.

"Jue'er isn't pretending; Jue'er has really learned her lesson now!"

Ye Qinghan then fell silent and simply followed behind Li Shiyao.

Ye Qinghan felt somewhat lucky at this moment, being able to observe the so-called demon race from an outsider's perspective.

While they were ignorant and foolish, Ye Qinghan knew what they longed for: a demon emperor who would be kind to the people, a demon emperor who could provide them with plenty of food and clothing.

When they looked at the young fox demon king, the longing in their eyes seemed to overflow; it was their hope.

However, just as she said, just as humans can be divided into good and evil, so too can demons.

What the ignorant masses crave is nothing more than to be able to eat their fill, dress warmly, have someone to rely on in their old age, and have children to be cared for.

Similarly, some people don't want things to change because they still need to bully others!

They liked to ride on the heads of weaker animals to highlight their noble status.
