He's a minor cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a novel and cultivates immortality,

Yan Qi spoke slowly and deliberately: "Jiaojiao, you are still young and easily act impulsively."

"What's more important than your life, face?"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, as long as it's not a life-or-death feud, just let it pass by if you can just muddle through."

Yan Xuejiao: "......"

The Imperial Court Ancestor: "..."

"Whose descendant is this? Why is he so cowardly?" the Imperial Ancestor wondered.

However, on second thought, there are advantages to being timid. Being too rigid can lead to breaking. The cultivation world has never lacked exceptionally talented geniuses.

But many more perish young.

Only those who grow up to become true prodigies are truly prodigies; those who perish unexpectedly along the way are nothing at all.

"This boy has great potential!" thought the old patriarch of the Imperial Court.

Yan Qi was about to give Yan Xuejiao a few more pointers.

Suddenly, a giant hand formed from spiritual energy attacked Yan Qi from behind.

Before he could react, they dragged him into the cave.

Yan Xuejiao followed closely behind on her flying magical artifact.

Inside the cave

After being set down by the giant palm of spiritual energy, Yan Qi smiled and said, "Junior Yan Qi greets the Ancestor."

The Imperial Ancestor nodded in satisfaction.

"He's someone who knows how to adapt to the times," the old patriarch of the Imperial Court thought to himself.

Yan Xuejiao jumped off the flying artifact and rushed in.

Before he could even speak, Yan Qi used a binding spell to imprison his voice and movements.

Yan Qi: "My daughter is spoiled and willful; I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Ancestor."

The Imperial Ancestor laughed heartily, "Hahaha, what's wrong with my Imperial Princess being a little spoiled?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuejiao, who had been harboring resentment, instantly became excited.

They looked at the old patriarch of the Imperial Court with curiosity in their eyes.

Yan Qi: "Grandmaster, you misunderstand. My daughter is a princess, and I am a prince of the imperial court, not..."

The Imperial Ancestor interrupted Yan Qi, saying, "You were a prince before, but from today onwards you are His Majesty."

Yan Qi: "......"

Yan Xuejiao: "......"

Yan Qi looked completely bewildered.

After regaining his senses, Yan Qi quickly said, "Ancestor is joking."

“Our imperial court has a master, and that is my nephew, Yan Jiayu.”

"Please rest assured, Ancestor, he is much more reliable than I am."

"Wouldn't it be better for Yan Qi to be a carefree prince, using his power to bully others? Why bother with being the ruler of the imperial court? It's a thankless and arduous task."

“He has no intention of rebelling.”

Yan Qi thought to himself.

Yan Xuejiao was overjoyed to hear that the Imperial Ancestor called her "Little Princess" and was willing to support her father to become the ruler of the Imperial Court.

He kept winking at Yan Qi.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Ancestor immediately released Yan Qi's binding spell on Yan Xuejiao.

Yan Xuejiao first obediently bowed to the Imperial Ancestor who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, saying, "Junior Yan Xuejiao greets Ancestor."

Then, she eagerly went to Yan Qi's side, shook his arm, and pleaded, "Dad, please say yes to Grandmother, Dad..."

Yan Qi: "......"

"Why is this precious daughter blindly joining in the fun and causing trouble for her father?" Yan Qi thought to himself.

The old patriarch of the imperial court naturally realized that Yan Qi's refusal was not out of politeness, but because he was genuinely uninterested.

However, since the person walked right into our door, we have no choice but to accept it whether he likes it or not.

The dignified voice of the Imperial Ancestor carried a hint of amusement, "Alright, it's settled then."

"From this day forward, Yan Qi, you are the new emperor of the imperial court. Now, depart."

Before Yan Qi could react, the Imperial Ancestor waved his sleeve, and Yan Qi and Yan Xuejiao disappeared from the cave and appeared outside the forbidden area.

Yan Qi: "......"

Yan Xuejiao: "......"
