After this analysis, She Long began to regret his actions.

He even began to resent Xiao Chenyu for not saying so sooner.

He had almost forgotten that he hadn't revealed the matter of Qian Renxue replacing Xue Qinghe before, and hadn't given Xiao Chenyu a chance to say it.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Qian Renxue, on the contrary, was not in a hurry at all. She leaned back in her chair with her soft body and smiled at the boy in front of her.

Based on her understanding of Xiao Chenyu, she knew that if he had spoken up, he must have had his own reasons.

At this point, the test for Xiao Chenyu is meaningless.

The Contra in the shadows was certain that Xiao Chenyu was speaking from the heart.

In other words, Xiao Chenyu didn't care about the fate of the Heaven Dou Empire at all; he was more concerned about her cultivation.

This alone made Qian Renxue feel as if she had eaten honey, her heart filled with warmth.

There are always people in this world who truly love and care for her.

Xiao Chenyu chuckled, first finding a chair and sitting down, before slowly saying:

"It's simple, gradually delegate authority, and then establish an image of someone obsessed with cultivation or focused on life."

"If I don't reveal my abilities, Emperor Xueye will probably depose me from my position as crown prince," Qian Renxue said hesitantly, her expression faltering.

This was the first task Qian Daoliu had given her, and she wanted to do it well.

And with that woman around, she didn't want to be laughed at all.

Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Chenyu pleadingly, clearly unwilling to do so.

"Why do you think that relinquishing power will lead to losing the position of Crown Prince? You're not thinking of getting rid of your 'brother,' are you? Besides, is the position of Crown Prince really that important?" Xiao Chenyu looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression.

Although Qian Renxue did exactly that in the original story, he genuinely felt that doing so would indicate a serious mental illness.

The fact that the second and third sons have both passed away proves that the eldest son had a problem.

Even if no one discovers he's a fake crown prince, who wouldn't be wary of this seemingly gentle but ruthless leader?

Moreover, if you're going to do something, do it thoroughly. What kind of operation is it to leave a spoiled brat unpunished?

"Isn't the position of Crown Prince important?"

Upon hearing Xiao Chenyu's words, Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise:

"It sounds like you overheard my conversation with Uncle She, and that we really are plotting to get rid of the other princes."

"Let me tell you, either Uncle She is a spy for the Heavenly Dou Empire, or he's not very bright; otherwise, how could he be so stupid..."

Although he knew that She Long was most likely nearby, Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but say it, relying on Qian Renxue's presence:

"If you killed the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, and you were completely unscathed, appearing to be extremely capable and shrewd, wouldn't everyone think it was you who did it?"

"Perhaps we could keep the most useless one?" Qian Renxue said cautiously.

Even she herself now felt that this method was a bit stupid, even though she had been very excited and praised She Long's idea at the time.

"Wouldn't that be even more stupid! How do you know that the most useless one isn't just holding back?" Xiao Chenyu sneered. "So, the best way is for you to become the most useless one!"

"What's the logic behind this?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.

"As long as you become the one who is most enthusiastic about cultivation but has the lowest soul power, and behave in an ordinary manner on weekdays, the others will naturally become interested." Xiao Chenyu's lips curled up.

Qian Renxue still didn't quite understand, but She Long couldn't hold back any longer and stepped out from the shadows.

He first glared at Xiao Chenyu, which made him shrink back slightly.

Seeing Xiao Chenyu back down, She Long, who had just been scolded, finally calmed down and asked with uncertainty on his face:

"You mean, let the other princes kill each other?"

“That’s right. If the Crown Prince is weak, the other princes will have their own agendas. That’s when the Spirit Hall’s advantage comes into play.” Xiao Chenyu nodded.

"The Spirit Hall's advantage... You want us to support other princes?"

She Long's eyes widened; he truly hadn't expected such a move.

"Yes, for example, the Spirit Hall supported the Fourth Prince Xue Beng and secretly killed the Second and Third Princes. There is no problem with that, right?"

Xiao Chenyu smiled and shrugged, then glanced at Qian Renxue sitting on top:

"As for Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, he is incompetent and not worthy of being the emperor of the Tiandou Empire. Emperor Xue Ye, who lost two princes, will secretly send people to protect Xue Qinghe."

"By then, whether Xueye supports the eldest son's succession or wants the most capable person to take the throne, the situation will no longer be under his control."

"Why? Isn't there also the Fourth Prince's avalanche?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.

"The avalanche is over."

She Long looked deeply at Xiao Chenyu, and said with some apprehension:

"As long as it's revealed that Avalanche colluded with the Spirit Hall, he's finished. And even if Avalanche takes over, it won't matter, the Spirit Hall will still win in the end."

Two betting options, one explicit and one implicit.

To be able to think of these things at the age of 7 is beyond the scope of being described as a genius.

Even now, She Long suddenly began to doubt Qian Daoliu's words.

This is hardly Qian Renxue's right-hand man in the future; perhaps Qian Renxue and the Spirit Hall are Xiao Chenyu's right-hand men.

If such a person were to grow up, he could probably rival the Spirit Hall on his own.

The only saving grace is that such a genius already belongs to the Spirit Hall.

Xiaoxue, Uncle She has high hopes for you!

Feeling uncomfortable under She Long's inexplicable gaze, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask:

"Uncle She, what do you think of what Chen Yu said?"
