Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2432 Why Now?

?Chapter 2432 Why Now?

Qi Xue frowned and turned to look at Qi Kan Tian,

She was not surprised he noticed.

The two of them have been staying by each other's side and talked in private with each other, there might be some clues from her behavior. But....

"Why now?"

"Because it's time for me to move on too," Qi Kan Tian said slowly, a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

To be honest, Qi Kan Tian never had any interest on the throne. The main reason why he stayed to sit on that throne was because it was his brother's dream and also ambition when he was young.

Qi Kan Tian wanted to continue sitting as the emperor and protected his father and brother's legacy.

But after so many years, Qi Kan Tian was tired.

He knew very well that he was living the life that his brother and father wanted and longed. He was also fulfilling their dreams and allowed Qi Xi Kingdom to thrive and got better under his reign.

However, none of these were what he truly want.

Becoming the Emperor?

Qi Kan Tian never have any interest to sit on that throne if it was not because of his brother's death making him the first in line to inherit the throne.

He could have given it up.

His cousins or nephews would be very happy to sit on the throne and lead Qi Xi Kingdom.

But in that state of disrepairs, Qi Kan Tian knew that Qi Xi Kingdom needed someone who could rebuild the kingdom. Because the cries of sadness and the destruction had caused so much pain and misery for Qi Xi Kingdom.

This was caused by their loss in the war.

And Qi Kan Tian decided to hold it all on his shoulder.

He knew that Qi Xue was sad and stayed still because of his brother. Through her occasional gaze, he found her seemed to be looking at someone behind him, which Qi Kan Tian could guess.

But he let her.

Because he had his own selfishness.

What if...?

Years passed by and they were no longer the teenagers from before. Qi Kan Tian also realized many things and become more mature as the result.

He understood that if he truly wanted to sit on the throne, there were many things that he had to do.

And to sit on that throne, he had to trample on many people who opposed him.

It was a bloody path.

And the rise of Fei Yang Kingdom was something that was both expected and unexpected. Emperor Yang Zhou might sit on the throne at a young age, but he possessed enough maturity and vision of the future to hold the power in his own grasp.

Fei Yang Kingdom is strong.

This was something that Qi Kan Tian had noticed when he came to pay a visit to Fei Yang Kingdom in the past.

At that time, he realized that perhaps... the history would change.

He took the bet.

And he won the bet.

So it was time for him to move on too.

When he decided to let Qi Xi Kingdom under Fei Yang Kingdom, Qi Kan Tian knew that he would no longer be the emperor nor would he have any important and honorable position anymore.

He would be nothing,

But it was good.

He had fulfilled the dream that belonged to his father and brother, bringing the conclusion of the entire Qi Xi Kingdom and allowed the people who lived to experience a completely different life under Fei Yang Kingdom.

Under the promise of Emperor Yang Zhou, their lives would not be so bad.

So from now on until his time was up... Qi Kan Tian just wanted to live for himself. There was no need for him to live for others or fulfill the dreams that others have. It was enough for him to live comfortably.

He knew that he had his own thoughts when he allowed Qi Xue to stay nearby.

But so much time has passed.

It was enough.

"You..." Qi Xue wanted to speak that he couldn't do this but in the end, no words came out from her throat. She took a deep breath.

"Who are you to decide what I should do?"

"I don't." Qi Kan Tian shook his head. "I only tell you what you're not allowed to do, which is following me!

He couldn't decide what Qi Xue did, but he could tell her what she was not allowed to do and the consequences if she tried to do so.

Qi Xue frowned.

She looked at Qi Kan Tian, wanting to ask what had changed but found Qi Kan Tian's calm gaze.

It was very calm and indifferent.

While it was not so cold that he treated her as enemies or stranger, but it was clear that Qi Kan Tian had started to treat her as nothing more than an ordinary senior sister of his. There was no longer any other thoughts.

Qi Xue understood.

She lowered her gaze.

The two of them never talked about this matter openly in the past because it was both awkward and not suitable. Moreover, it was not right for Qi Kan Xiang in their minds.

In the end, time passed so quickly. They were no longer that young.

It was time for them to move on.

Qi Xue nodded. "I understand."

After that, Qi Xue stood up and walked in the direction of the hut.

Her moves had told Qi Kan Tian the answer he needed to know.

Qi Kan Tian smiled.

How casy is it to move on?

It's not easy.

But he didn't want to waste the rest of his life being confined in this matter. So even if this might not be the best answer... it was already very good for him.

Qi Kan Tian took a deep breath.

He had thought about this over and over in the past few days and now, he was no longer so bothered.

He slowly stood up and walked in the direction of the hut too.
