Han Li raked his brain and understood his situation soon enough, and explaining it to his mom seemed a good choice, too, since it made it clearer for himself. Currently, there is an ongoing conflict between two Power Born.
The Power Born Woman, whom Han Li knew by the nickname—Demonic Ice Fairy, was going after Starlight Clan Head's Son, Li Shuanwei, for some reason while also stirring up the other two clans using her underlings.
And then, there was also that Evolution Stage woman with the Illusion of Dao Soul, for whom he had special consideration due to how dangerous she was to him when he had to protect his mother. So overall, he was in the middle of a quagmire if he decided to move.
And even if he won, he wouldn't have much substantial benefit to show for it. It would be a wasteful way of putting himself in danger—not to mention his mother. So, there was only one thing to do: get out of this situation and get back with Liyue and Li Yao.
