(A/N: The final content of this chapter is a bit cruel. If you didn't wish to read it, you may skip to the next chapter)

Traveling Doctor Liu came and intercepted.

At that time, Qi Xue didn't understand what Traveling Doctor Liu wanted from her. There were only Shan Yu and Yu Zheng Xi who were with him and she became the sixth disciple of Traveling Doctor Liu.

He taught her many things while traveling to Qi Xi Kingdom.

At that time, Qi Xi Kingdom's territory was vast and it was easy to cross the land from Shi Long Kingdom to Qi Xi Kingdom.

Around a year after her meeting with Traveling Doctor Liu, she met with her two junior brothers.

Qi Kan Xiang, the first prince of Qi Xi Kingdom.

Qi Kan Tian, the second prince of Qi Xi Kingdom.

Qi Kan Xiang was around the same age as her while Qi Kan Tian was five years younger, being only 9 years old at that time.

One way or another, Traveling Doctor Liu accepted these two as his disciple and for the next few years, the five of them would spend their time together in Qi Xi Kingdom. Aside from Yu Zheng Xi who was already in his mid twenties, the rest were only teenagers.

Shan Yu was even younger than her, being only 11 years old at that time.

Since they were all of similar age, they were able to get along well.

Under Traveling Doctor Liu, they studied a lot.

Qi Kan Xiang is the first prince and also the crown prince, so he didn't spend much time studying with Traveling Doctor Liu. He had many other studies that he had to cover and it was Qi Kan Tian who spend more time with Traveling Doctor Liu.

In order to help Qi Kan Xiang with his study, Qi Xue usually copied her notes and helped to explain things to Qi Kan Xiang.

Perhaps, that was when everything started.

For the next four or so years, everything was really peaceful for them.

Studying, playing, and many others.

Even though Yu Zheng Xi's identity did bring him some troubles when Qi Kan Xiang found out, but he chose not to pursue that matter. Qi Kan Xiang is really talented and learned everything quickly.

They all believed that he would become a great emperor after he ascended the throne. Until the war happened.

The previous emperor of Qi Xi Kingdom, Qi Kan Xiang and Qi Kan Tian's father, was an ambitious person. He had been expanding Qi Xi Kingdom, following his grandfather's expansion before he passed away.

Qi Xi Kingdom was growing rapidly.

The size expanded again and again.

In his rule, the territory expansion was even more than what his father had done, which made him very proud.

But under the rapid expansion, countless troubles silently crept out.

The few people in the cities at the border had never truly accepted their changes of identity to become part of Qi Xi Kingdom.

And many other kingdoms felt threatened when they saw the former Qi Xi Kingdom Emperor expanded the territory so rapidly. Their interest has long been touched and many of their cities were taken by Qi Xi Kingdom.

The smallest kingdom at that time, Wei Da Kingdom, was the one that suffered the most followed by Fan Yi Kingdom, Zhang Xu Kingdom, and Shi Long Kingdom. The expansion of Qi Xi Kingdom had taken the territory that belonged to these four kingdoms.

If one had to say, only Fei Yang Kingdom's interest was not touched that much.

But it was close.

Because of the rapid expansion of Qi Xi Kingdom, they were already approaching Fei Yang Kingdom.

And then...n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

War broke out.

The other five kingdoms collaborated and waged a war against Qi Xi Kingdom. They were determined to stop Qi Xi Kingdom from expanding more and pressed back further and further. The border were quickly taken back by the five kingdom's army and the people in various cities even helped them.

The former Qi Xi Kingdom Emperor truly never had the time to clean up the people there. This resulted in massive casualties.

As Fei Yang Kingdom's army approaching, Qi Xi Kingdom Emperor could only lead the army on his own.

The result?

It was a loss.

The former Qi Xi Kingdom Emperor died in the battle.

Everything happened so quickly.

They were all still living their lives normally when the war suddenly broke out. After the war broke out, what followed was the news of the former Qi Xi Kingdom's Emperor's death.

Qi Kan Xiang, who was only 18 years old, was pushed to the throne.

He's not even an adult yet.

(Men are called an adult when they're 20 years old)

But as the first in line for the throne, Qi Kan Xiang had to take over his father's work and reorganized the army.

Traveling Doctor Liu couldn't help.

All he knew was that Fei Yang Kingdom would not push them to the very end as his fourth disciple, Wei Da Lang, was among the army there. But Wei Da Lang at that time was not the famous general from Fei Yang Kingdom. He was just a little known commander with not much say on the battlefield.

The other generals were people whom Traveling Doctor Liu was not too close with. Even if he had interacted with them, the relationship between doctors and patient couldn't be used in

this situation.

Qi Kan Xiang also didn't ask for help.

The war turned worse as the army approached Qi Xi Kingdom's Capital City.

In order to stop the army from approaching, Qi Kan Xiang met them in another city and fought

there.

They didn't know what happened exactly.

But after a few days, the army from the five kingdoms retreated.

Along with the news of Qi Kan Xiang's death.

The people who went there told them secretly that Qi Kan Xiang used his own life to ensure that Qi Xi Kingdom could still stand. But the land that they had taken would not be returned and Qi Kan Xiang's body was brought back incomplete.

Because his decapitated head was brought away by the army as a 'token' to end the war.
