1427 The Beginning of the End
"Once again, congratulations on your marriage." Emperor Xiu said to Tian Xian after the wedding in a private meeting.
"Thank you for allowing me to marry Xiu Mei, father. You will not regret this." Tian Xian said with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha! Why are you being so humble out of nowhere? It's weird!" Emperor Xiu laughed out loud.
After chatting for a while, Emperor Xiu spoke with a serious expression on his face, "Let's talk about why I called you here, Tian Xian. Now that you are officially part of our family, do you have any desire to rule your own territory?"
"My own territory?" Tian Xian raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
"Indeed. You are no longer just a soldier with a duty. Now that you are one of us, you have two options. One, remain here and compete with the others for my position as its Emperor. Or two, leave and build your own empire. Of course, I will support you regardless of your decision."
After hearing his choices, Tian Xian, without hesitation, responded, "I will leave this place to build my own empire."
Emperor Xiu smiled and said, "I knew you would say that. As much as I hate to admit it, this place is too small for you, Tian Xian. You're already stronger than me by an entire realm. Go build your own empire—one that is worthy of the one called God of War. Your talents will surely bring you to a place where even I have to tilt my head and look up."
"What about Xiu Mei…?" Tian Xian then asked.
"Why are you asking me? You're responsible for her now, so make your own decisions!" Emperor Xiu quickly said. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"So you won't be upset if I decide to take her with me?"
"Of course, I will be upset. However, she is already an adult. If she wants to follow you to the edge of the world, I have no authority over her decision."
Tian Xian went to speak with Xiu Mei after his conversation with Emperor Xiu ended. To his surprise, Xiu Mei didn't object to his decision at all. In fact, she even encouraged it.
"Why do you look so surprised? I know you're not the type to linger in this small place when you could be doing much bigger things—not that this small city could handle someone like you. As a matter of fact, I have been wanting to leave this place for some time now and planned on speaking to you about relocating soon." Xiu Mei said.
After receiving Xiu Mei's answer, the two of them returned to Emperor Xiu to further plan their departure.
"Do you have a location in mind? If it's within my power, I can help you with acquiring the land." Emperor Xiu said.
Tian Xian pondered for a moment before responding, "Do you know where the soldiers found me? I want to build a city around there."
"That's a little too close to this city, which could cause problems. However, there's a small village not too far away from that place. Since I own that territory, I can arrange it so that you will become its new lord." Emperor Xiu said.
Tian Xian nodded, "Let's do that."
