A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God

"ah?"

Upon hearing Nangong Wan's words, Wu Li was momentarily stunned, his expression still showing a hint of disbelief.

After all, he had gotten along quite well with Nangong Wan during this period, and Nangong Wan had given him a lot of support when he was refining the Golden Thunder Flying Sword and in the Azure Thunder Secret Realm. Now that Nangong Wan said she was leaving, Wu Li couldn't accept it for a while.

Nangong Wan hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up her mind and sighed.

"Something happened in my family, and I have to go back."

"Your family?"

Wu Li looked thoughtful. He hadn't heard Nangong Wan mention her family during this time, so he assumed she was probably a rogue cultivator. But now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Yes, I need to go back."

Nangong Wan nodded, her expression complex. Clearly, she didn't have a good relationship with the Nangong family behind her.

Just then, Wu Li spoke up.

"In that case, I'll go with you. After all, we're friends now, and I want to do my part for my friend."

Wu Li replied without hesitation, "I've just finished refining my Golden Thunder Flying Sword Formation, and I'm itching to practice. It would be convenient for me to hone my skills while dealing with the Nangong family."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded in agreement.

"So, in which direction is your family located?"

"My family is in the Eastern Region."

Looking across the vast distance, Nangong Wan gazed towards the Eastern Region, where the Nangong family's territory was clearly located.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Region, within the Nangong family's residence...

The head of the Nangong family, Nangong Jun, was sitting in the patriarch's seat, while the elders of the Nangong family were gathered together, their expressions extremely solemn.

After a long while, Nangong Jun finally spoke.

"Everyone, I have contacted Wan'er. She is expected to return in about six months. At that time, we will have her marry the Holy Son of Tianen Mountain to strengthen our relationship with Tianen Mountain."

Nangong Jun is none other than Nangong Wan's biological father.

Upon hearing Nangong Jun's words, the elders present all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wan'er is a good girl. She has great talent, and with the status of the family head's daughter, marrying the Holy Son of Tianen Mountain wouldn't be a disgrace to Tianen Mountain. It's a win-win situation!"

“Nangong Wan is a member of our Nangong family. Now that she has married the Holy Son Tufu, it can be considered a contribution to our Nangong family. Moreover, the Holy Son Tufu’s talent is extremely terrifying. He has already reached the peak of the Immortal King at the age of 30 million. He will soon be the Immortal Emperor.”

"If Nangong Wan knew, she would be grateful to us. After all, isn't her wish to become stronger? With the resources of Tianen Mountain, it wouldn't be difficult for her to break through to the Immortal Emperor or even the Immortal Venerable."

The elders below spoke in a relaxed and carefree tone, and none of them considered Nangong Wan's thoughts.

But then Nangong Jun seemed to remember something and couldn't help but sigh.

"In order to bring Wan'er back, I went so far as to fabricate a story that her mother was seriously injured in a battle with a demon beast and wanted to see her. That's how I tricked her into coming back. So after Wan'er returns, you must remember not to tell anyone about her mother's death."

"Yes, Master, we know."

The elders present all patted their chests and guaranteed it.

However, they all knew perfectly well that Nangong Wan's mother's death was not due to a battle with a demon beast, but rather an accident.

Meanwhile, Nangong Wan was unaware of this. At this moment, she was silently on her way back with Wu Li.

Along the way, Wu Li noticed Nangong Wan's low spirits, but he didn't say anything to comfort her. After all, he didn't know what had happened to Nangong Wan and would have to go to the Nangong family to find out.

Time also quietly slipped away, second by second.

Half a year passed quickly, and along the way, Wu Li's cultivation level broke through from the peak of Golden Immortal to the early stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"We've arrived. The Nangong family is just ahead."

Standing atop a distant mountain, gazing at a town not far away, Nangong Wan's expression was extremely complex. The Nangong family resided in a blessed land, and the town before her was merely a gateway to their home.

Just as Nangong Wan appeared with Wu Li in front of the Nangong family's gate, Nangong Jun personally led the Nangong family elders out to greet Nangong Wan, as a small compensation for her.

However, when they saw Wu Li beside Nangong Wan, Nangong Jun and the elders' expressions turned somewhat ugly. If the Holy Son of Tu Fu knew, he probably wouldn't marry Nangong Wan.

"Wan'er, welcome home. And who is this gentleman?"

Nangong Jun looked at Nangong Wan with a fake smile on his face, greeted her, and then looked at Wu Li and asked.

Nangong Wan didn't have a good impression of her father and said indifferently.

“Father, this is my friend. What, are you not welcoming him? If you're not welcoming him, then I won't have come back.”

"How could that be? Wan'er's friends are naturally friends of the Nangong family. Let's come in first and talk about it later."

Nangong Jun smiled and said, then stepped aside.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan looked at Wu Li and said.

"Let's go inside and talk."

At this moment, Wu Li's expression also appeared somewhat solemn. He could tell that Nangong Wan's relationship with Nangong Jun in front of her was not very good, or rather, she seemed to have a bad relationship with the entire Nangong family.

But now is not the time to ask questions, so he might as well go in first and ask later. In Wu Li's perception, Nangong Jun in front of him was not as good as Wen Juren, which meant that he did not even have the power of an Immortal Emperor, so he was still within his control.

Soon Wu Li followed Nangong Wan into the Nangong family home. As the two walked away, Nangong Jun's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.

"Patriarch, what should we do with this kid? If the Holy Son of Tu Fu finds out, he might demand a change of marriage partner."

Just then, an elder came to Nangong Jun and said with a solemn expression.

Nangong Jun waved his hand and said...

"No need to worry about it. Judging from the current situation, Wan'er's relationship with this boy is not what we thought. We just need to tell Wan'er that this is her mother's last wish, and I believe she will not refuse given her personality."

"As for this kid, we'll find an opportunity to get rid of him, just make sure the Holy Son of Tu Fu doesn't find out."

"Yes, Master!"

Wu Li was unaware that he had already been targeted by Nangong Jun and his group. At this moment, he arrived at a villa that did not look very exquisite, led by Nangong Wan.
