If he hadn't suddenly become useless, how could he have come from the sect to the Fengbo Kingdom?
For three years, he had endured, experiencing hatred and despair. But now, he felt that all of this was his life.
The three years of downfall had allowed him to see the true faces of many people around him. It had dissipated his arrogance and made him more mature and resilient.
Most importantly, during his downfall, Baili Hongzhuang appeared by his side.
Perhaps, all of this was destined by the heavens. He stood up because of Baili Hongzhuang, and by a twist of fate, Baili Hongzhuang became his wife.
He was grateful for everything arranged by the heavens and wanted to protect Baili Hongzhuang with all his heart.
Listening to Emperor Beichen's explanation, Baili Hongzhuang's mood gradually improved.
She believed Emperor Beichen's words. If Emperor Beichen had feelings for Han Xiling, he wouldn't have come to her.
"Wife, do you believe me?" Emperor Beichen smiled and asked, observing Baili Hongzhuang's changing expression.
Baili Hongzhuang pursed her lips, a hint of a smile appearing in the corners of her eyes. Though she didn't speak, Emperor Beichen already understood everything.
"Wife, would you like to hear my story?" Emperor Beichen asked.
He hadn't told it before, not because he didn't want to, but because he thought Baili Hongzhuang might not be willing to listen.
Now that their relationship had progressed, he felt that Baili Hongzhuang should know more to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, "What was your life like before?"
Emperor Beichen looked ahead slowly, his eyes deep and filled with nostalgia.
Through Emperor Beichen's narration, Baili Hongzhuang finally understood his identity.
As it turned out, Emperor Beichen was a disciple of the Tiangang Sect, and his master, Mo Canyang, was the sect's leader.
Mo Canyang had no children throughout his life, so he had always treated Emperor Beichen as his own son and imparted all his lifelong knowledge to him.
Emperor Beichen's talent was also outstanding. He never disappointed Mo Canyang since he started cultivating. Subconsciously, everyone regarded Emperor Beichen as the future successor of the Tiangang Sect.
In addition to the sect leader, there were four elders in the sect, each with their proud disciples.
Since its establishment, the Tiangang Sect had a tradition regarding the position of the Young Sect Master. It would be chosen among the sect leader and the proud disciples of the four elders.
Whoever had the strongest strength would become the Young Sect Master.
This method was to avoid a lack of competition, as it would diminish the motivation of the successor. Only through competition could the strongest emerge, and it was a good way for the sect to maintain its strength.
A few years ago, Mo Canyang left the Tiangang Sect in search of a breakthrough, which was a common thing.
Not only Mo Canyang, but the leaders of other sects and some old family heads would often venture out to seek breakthrough opportunities.
At their age, achieving a breakthrough was not a simple matter and often required a long time.
After some time had passed since Mo Canyang's departure, Emperor Beichen's problem with the Cursed Body started to surface, and the other competitors wanted to take advantage of this and eliminate him.
Initially, he was able to resist, but as he could no longer stand up, the support from the sect diminished, and he was left with few allies. In the end, he had no choice but to come to the Fengbo Kingdom.
For three years, he had been pretending to be useless, but in fact, he had never given up...
