This is not a struggle worth his investing too much heart and soul.
But the matters of the Northern Five States are different.
If he loses to the Ninth Prince, then he, the entire Qian State, will be completely finished.
Therefore... concerning those Dark Child left by Chen Jingxuan inside the territory of Li Kingdom, Nalan Xuance chose to turn a blind eye. He really didn't have the heart power to initiate a massive purge, so he could only allow their infiltration, tolerating and indulging as long as they didn't do anything that crossed the line.
Chen Jingxuan understood Nalan Xuance's bottom line, so over the years, what the Fire Master did never violated the fundamental interests of Qian State.
The reason for his existence here was never to interfere with the Li Kingdom's royal power.
This rule of the game, Chen Jingxuan still abides by.
However, not long ago, sending Xie Xuanyi into Xuanbei Pass was considered an exception.
