He turned and arrived at the main hall; Li WenYuan was once again seated in his original position sipping tea.
“Shijie becoming the Emperor, I wonder if that’s a good thing!” Li WenYuan said with slight reproof.
“I asked him, he’s quite eager to try. If it doesn’t work out, he’ll just come back!” Li Shiming replied with ease.
Li WenYuan thought it made sense. With Li Shiming as his elder brother, what did it matter if he failed?
Although he did not know the extent of Li Shiming’s power in the cultivation world, observing the State Preceptor Meng Bin’s respect, which seemed to flow from deep within him upon seeing Li Shiming, he knew Li Shiming was doing very well.
He had met Meng Bin before. As the State Preceptor and an Immortal, he always carried himself above all mortals, including members of the Royal Family and the Princes.
Never had he seen Meng Bin treat a mortal with such demeanor, not even former Emperors.
“Shiming, let’s not talk about Shijie now. Let’s play a game and see if your skills have dropped!” Li WenYuan shifted the topic and said with a smile.
A servant beside them set up the chessboard, with Li WenYuan holding the white pieces and Li Shiming the black; Li Shiming was to move first.
It had always been this way. Li WenYuan had taught Li Shiming to play chess. When there was a spare moment, the father and son would often play a game.
Li Shiming played with care, not because he lacked ability, but because he needed to keep his father in good spirits, so he could not win, yet he could not lose too badly either, lest his father lose interest.
