When Donghuang Lingling brought Gu Feng back, he was already very old.
So old that when they appeared together before the officials of the Donghuang Dynasty, the whole court was unwilling to accept this imperial consort who could be her grandfather.
Even though they knew that this old man, with his wrinkled skin and stooped back, had burned a large amount of life force to cast the Dutian Blood Seal for the protection of the entire Wuji Continent, which led to his premature aging.
His achievements were lauded throughout the Wuji Continent, but this did not change the fact that the officials were unwilling to accept Gu Feng.
"But Empress, you are the sole bloodline of the Donghuang Dynasty. If you are with Lord Gu Feng, then the Donghuang Dynasty will have no heir."
Donghuang Lingling understood all these things, but she was still determined that only Gu Feng could be her imperial consort.
Gu Feng silently took all this in, watching and listening.
When night fell.
