Sheng Chuhan looked at Sheng Chuli and said, "Second brother, let's make this clear first. You can't tell Mother. I wanted to keep a cat, but Mother wouldn't allow it. If she knew I had a white fox, she would be terrified, and I would definitely get a scolding from Father. You caught this white fox, so you have to keep it a secret for me."
Saint Chuli put down the three gold treasures, reached out and poked Saint Chuhan's forehead with his finger, "This battle will take at least a year or two, so just rest assured and take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Chuhan exclaimed, "It takes this long?"
Saint Chuli nodded. "Well, let's look on the bright side. We'll see how the Xuan Army cooperates with us. Maybe we can end this sooner."
Sheng Chuhan asked thoughtfully, "Second Brother, with the help of the Xuan Army, are we guaranteed to win?"
Saint Chuli gently patted Saint Chuhan's arm, "Don't worry, we won't lose."
As for the chances of winning, to be honest, he can't be blindly confident.
I've heard that Queen Sumeru has a medicine to deal with Qiongyi. If this news is true, then our chances of winning will be even greater.
However, he didn't even tell his confidants this news, for fear that if he placed too much hope on them, he would be even more disappointed.
On Yun Qingluo's side, there were no major conflicts along the way, but minor conflicts continued to arise.
When He Ming first met everyone in the capital, his eyes revealed deep dissatisfaction and prejudice against the Sumeru Continent.
Xiao Yi frowned, complaining indignantly, "That He Ming is such a snob! Back when you two left the city, even someone like Xuan Ming treated you with great courtesy and gave you repeated instructions. But now, it's like the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. What's he so smug about?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's angry words, Yun Qingluo smiled slightly and gently comforted her, "Don't be angry. Getting angry so easily can make you very sensitive."
"Why get so angry about this? Let's think about it from a different perspective. After all, compared to our tenth continent, the first continent seems to depend on the first continent no matter how you look at it, and we might even be seen as taking advantage of the first continent. So, it's understandable that they are unhappy."
Yun Qingluo suddenly changed the subject, saying leisurely, "Besides, someone as straightforward and outspoken as He Ming isn't so bad. If he doesn't like you, he'll just say it out loud and won't play games or pretend with you. In contrast, if we encounter someone who's two-faced and likes to play tricks on us, then we really have to be on guard all the time."
After hearing Yun Qingluo's words, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel annoyed and frustrated.
She pouted and muttered, "Hey, why does it sound like you admire that He Ming? Humph, but he doesn't appreciate your kindness at all. He's been finding fault with us the whole way here, and his attitude has been terrible. I think we should just leave on our own. Why put up with their rudeness and have to put up with their attitude?"
Yun Qingluo seemed unconcerned. She yawned lazily and then steadily caught the beef jerky that Xiao Yi threw out of the system.
Then, she smiled slightly, broke the beef jerky in her hand in half, and handed one half to Mo Beichen beside her. The two of them then shared the jerky as if no one else was around.
Yun Qingluo responded to Xiao Yi's words, "Are you stupid? If we follow the army, at least we'll have more protection. If we act rashly on our own, it's uncertain whether we'll even be able to reunite with the people of the Holy Sky Continent alive."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi asked with a puzzled look, "Why do you say that? We also have quite a few people with us, and each of them can take on a hundred people."
Yun Qingluo sighed helplessly: "Once we lose the protection of the Xuan Army, our forces are insignificant compared to those of other continents. They wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap for them. Therefore, we must be extremely cautious in our actions."
After saying this, Yun Qingluo frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something important.
At this moment, Xiao Yi mumbled something, but Yun Qingluo couldn't hear it because her voice was too soft.
Just then, Mo Beichen, who had been silently watching Yun Qingluo, noticed that she had lost in thought and was chatting enthusiastically with Xiao Yi.
His eyes dimmed slightly, and then he said, "Luo Luo, did I personally copy this copy of 'The Art of War'?"
As he spoke, Mo Beichen gently picked up the book in his hand and handed it to Yun Qingluo, casting an inquiring glance at her.
Yun Qingluo, who had been somewhat absent-minded, was brought back to reality by the sudden question. She was taken aback at first, and then a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, she rushed forward and carefully examined the handwriting on the book.
After a moment, she slowly nodded in agreement.
He secretly wondered to himself: He had already read this book several times, so why would he suddenly ask such a strange question?
Seeing that Yun Qingluo's thoughts had been pulled back, Mo Beichen stopped dwelling on it, nodded thoughtfully, and continued reading attentively.
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes in the system.
Stingy person, drinking cold water.
Even with amnesia, she's still incredibly jealous.
Yun Qingluo opened her mouth as if she wanted to say a few more words, but at that moment, a noisy sound came from outside, instantly breaking the original peaceful atmosphere.
Yunying hurriedly announced loudly, "Your Majesty and General Long request your presence for a discussion."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen exchanged a glance and a look.
Xiao Yi, standing to the side, grumbled angrily, "I warned them beforehand that there would be heavy rain, but those guys wouldn't listen. As a result, they were all soaked to the bone the next day and caught colds. They had to rest for a whole day before they could even get up and leave."
Even the fastest-acting medicine prescription was written by you, and yet we didn't get a single kind word in return. Hmph, these people are far too arrogant and rude. I think we should just ignore them to avoid making ourselves suffer and seeing their sour faces.” With that, Xiao Yi gave a resentful snort.
Yun Qingluo simply smiled and gently comforted Xiao Yidao, saying, "As the saying goes, 'When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.'"
Then, she turned her head, looked at Mo Beichen with tender eyes, and said softly, "Achen, how about I go with you?"
Mo Beichen shook his head without hesitation and decisively refused, saying, "No need. I can go and see for myself what happened. Don't worry, they shouldn't dare to make things difficult for me."
In fact, deep down, he had a subconscious protective instinct and did not want Yun Qingluo to go with him and suffer the cold treatment from others.
