"He Wuya isn’t afraid of pushing too hard, and the Li Family jumping out?"

"The Li Family has nowhere to go, and He Wuya won’t push too hard, because he’s worried that the Long Night Emperor sits and watches, taking advantage of the situation."

"Do you plan to let Little Ice handle it?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Little Ice has just emerged into the world. Though it appears powerful, its mindset is still that of an infant.

As a divine beast of the Innate Profound Yellow Three Realms, it hasn’t even learned to speak or transform into a human form, showing its naivety.

It can’t distinguish good from bad. In a battle, it could use its immense power to ignore schemes and determine the outcome, but in a situation suited for probing like this, Little Ice is not suitable to appear.

The old ones would quickly notice Little Ice’s mindset and might use it, bringing variables to the Li Family’s future.

I don’t know how they would use it, but provoking a child into a frenzy or agony isn’t difficult.

I won’t give them that chance, I’ll snuff out any possible risk ahead of time.

Little Ice will show up only under two circumstances.

First, I win big; it appears once, adding elegance to the victory;

Second, I lose terribly; it appears once, showing the world that my loss is inconsequential.

But regardless of victory or defeat, Little Ice’s appearance can only be fleeting, never lingering.

In the mortal world, gods and buddhas are revered because they remain high above, enshrined in golden bodies, unseen and unknown, each appearance fleeting, only revealing their power and brilliance, which commands respect and awe.

Little Ice, though a relative, is also a deity the Li Family needs to worship."

As the words fell, the room suddenly calmed down.

Song Yan looked up to see Li Shanhai smiling at him, satisfaction in his expression, while Han Weizi looked at him with some surprise.

In Han Weizi’s understanding, Li Xuanchan appeared scholarly and unrestrained on the surface, but was selfish and ruthless at heart—her "villainess" nature and malicious schemes were learned from Li Xuanchan.

Han Weizi could fully imagine that, if it were the Li Family’s former master, he would have coldly uttered something like, "With the Ice Abyss Phoenix, the Li Family can be dominant here. Besides the Long Night Emperor, who else is a match?" or "Secretly overthrow He Wuya, making the Crane Spirit Sect the Li Family’s domain."

But now... the master shows an incredible measure of thoughtfulness.

No matter the obstacles, he remains composed despite the arising storms.

Li Shanhai observed this heir with increasing satisfaction, finally speaking: "Though you’re only at the Realm Boundary Early Stage, with your domain just a hundred zhang wide and not yet reaching Ten Mountains, I didn’t intend to speak of matters affecting cultivation, but now... The Li Family only has you to rely on. Hence, some magical battle techniques of the Late Realm, even Realm Spirit Realm, must be discussed with you."

He gently stroked his beard, saying, "I came today to teach you how to... play a game of strategy."

With force, he pressed his divine sense forward, the darkness gradually clarifying, revealing a nineteen-way chessboard. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
