Chapter 1301: Naturally So
Han Zhongjie was shocked by His Majesty's words, and even more deeply confused. How could a monarch of a nation say such things in front of a cultivator? Was it out of ignorance, or was he truly seeking death?
Regardless, this was not something he, a Supreme General, could merely stand by and watch.
Chen Changsheng was surprised to hear Xie Huan's words—surprised that he could speak so blatantly. It showed he was truly suffering immense torment.
Xie Huan looked at him and asked, "Not even you?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Your life and death, however, decide the fate of millions of commoners. You are the monarch of a nation. Your life and death cannot always be decided by you alone. Otherwise, why would you come to ask This Chen?"
If he simply wanted to die, Xie Huan had countless ways to do it. But it was precisely those commoners that left him so torn, and it was amid this torment that he had spoken those words.
Xie Huan looked at the man before him, falling silent for a long time.
After a long while, he uttered only a single phrase: "You are right..."
If he were truly free of burdens, how could he fear death? He had obstinately chosen to walk this path, and his own ignorance had led to this situation.
