Chapter 156 Xiao Yun Breaks Through His Mental State
Yan Qi closed his slightly open mouth, his expression conflicted.
He's used to being a lazy bum and genuinely doesn't want to take over the imperial court.
Wouldn't it be better to be a wealthy and noble immortal?
"I don't know what got into the ancestor, that he chose him to be the ruler of the imperial court."
"With a temperament that even cats and dogs dislike, how could he possibly be fit to be the ruler of a country..."
As if remembering something, Yan Qi's anxious expression vanished, replaced by a cunning smile.
He couldn't do anything to the old ancestor, but wasn't there his nephew Yan Jiayu?
Yes, that's the way to do it. Why not just pass this big problem on to the other party?
Let him argue with the patriarch, while I, of course, will continue to be a carefree, lazy prince.
Thinking of this, Yan Qi couldn't wait to take out the communication token and send a message to Yan Jiayu.
His words were earnest: "Your Majesty, for some unknown reason, the Ancestor suddenly informed Seventh Uncle that he should inherit the position of the Lord of the Imperial Court."
"Of course, Seventh Uncle is absolutely unwilling, you know that."
"It's just that Seventh Uncle is of low status and has low cultivation, so he dares not disobey the Ancestor and can only rely on His Majesty."
"Uncle believes that as long as His Majesty intervenes, the situation can be turned around."
When things got heated, Yan Qi naturally started to flatter him.
"My uncle is to Your Majesty as a sparrow is to a phoenix, or an earthworm to a dragon. There is a world of difference between us. I would never dare to compare myself to Your Majesty."
Finally, he didn't forget to reiterate his loyalty, saying, "I am willing to assist Your Majesty and have no other intentions."
Yan Qi glanced through his messages, which were sincere and purposeful, and nodded in satisfaction.
Yan Xuejiao stood to the side, grinning foolishly, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Yan Qi waved his hand and laughed loudly, "Let's go, Jiaojiao, let's go back to the Prince's Mansion."
Yan Xuejiao smiled broadly and said, "Okay, Father."
After realizing what was happening, he asked, "Father, why are we going back to the Prince's Mansion? Didn't you say it wasn't safe there?"
Before Yan Qi could react, Yan Xuejiao suddenly realized and said, "I understand, Father. It's because Father is now the Emperor appointed by the Ancestor, so naturally you don't need to be timid anymore."
"I don't believe that vixen would dare to overestimate herself and make a move against the Emperor of the Imperial Court."
"Father, you are so wise!"
Yan Qi: "......"
"I thought Yan Qi was a master at pretending to be confused, but I never expected his daughter to be genuinely confused," Yan Qi thought, both amused and exasperated.
Monster Forest
Because he carried demonic energy and a demonic infant, Xiao Yun avoided people the whole way.
He is not afraid of trouble, but he also doesn't want to cause trouble.
After all, few cultivators can remain calm and listen to the ins and outs when they encounter demonic cultivators.
Their consistent principle has always been, "If we encounter a demonic cultivator, we must kill him!"
Because demonic cultivators are cunning and extremely adept at bewitching people, most righteous people convey the philosophy to their disciples that if they encounter a demonic cultivator, they should kill him if they can fight him, and avoid him if they cannot fight him.
"If I hadn't inexplicably signed a life-and-death pact with the Soul-Devouring Demon Insect, turning my spiritual energy into demonic energy, I probably would have drawn my sword to meet any demonic cultivator without hesitation."
Xiao Yun thought to himself.
Noticing the change in Xiao Yun's aura, Xiao Xuan's lips curled slightly.
A cold, mechanical voice sounded in my ear, "Ding, it has been detected that host 006 has triggered side quest twenty-one: assist Xiao Yun in generating the Dao Heart of Seeking the Dao. Complete the quest and you will be rewarded with points."
Feeling something, Xiao Xuan recited aloud: "Heaven and earth, yin and yang, good and evil give rise to each other. Too much rigidity is easy to break, too much softness is difficult to stand. When rigidity and softness are in balance, yin and yang meet, and the Great Dao returns to oneness."
"One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things..."
As Xiao Xuan's ethereal voice rang out, with each word he uttered, Xiao Yun's aura intensified.
A profound and mysterious realization lingered in Xiao Yun's heart.
The Dao Asking Sword emitted a soft hum, turned its blade, and carried Xiao Yun and Xiao Xuan to a valley deep within the Demon Beast Forest.
It remained motionless in mid-air, more than ten meters above the ground.
