"ah?"
When Wu Li heard Nangong Wan's words, he didn't react for a moment, and there was still a hint of disbelief on his face.
After all, he and Nangong Wan got along quite well during this period of time. In addition, Nangong Wan gave him great support when he was refining the Golden Thunder Flying Sword and in the Cang Lei Secret Realm. Now that Nangong Wan said she wanted to leave, Wu Li couldn't accept it for a while.
But Nangong Wan's eyes hesitated for a moment, but soon she became determined, sighed and said.
"Something happened in my family, I have to go back."
"Your family?"
Wu Li's face was full of thought. He had not heard Nangong Wan mention the family behind her during this period of time, so in Wu Li's opinion, Nangong Wan was most likely a casual cultivator, but now it seems that she is not?
"Well, I have to go back."
Nangong Wan nodded with a complicated expression on her face. It was obvious that she did not have a good relationship with the Nangong family behind her.
And just at this moment, Wu Li spoke.
"If that's the case, then I'll go with you. After all, we can be considered friends now, and I want to do my bit for my friend."
Wu Li said without hesitation at this time. It just so happened that he had finished refining the Golden Thunder Flying Sword Formation and his hands were itching to practice. It would be convenient for him to practice while solving the Nangong family's problems.
Hearing this, Nangong Wan's eyes lit up and she quickly nodded in agreement.
"So, which direction is your family in?"
"My family is in the Eastern Region."
Nangong Wan looked towards the East Region across the distant space. There, it was the direction of the Nangong family.
At this time in the Eastern Region, in the Nangong family.
I saw Nangong Jun, the head of the Nangong family, sitting in the seat of the head of the family, and the elders of the Nangong family gathered together, their expressions looking extremely solemn.
After a long while, Nangong Jun finally spoke.
"Everyone, I have contacted Wan'er. She will be back in about six months. By then, it will be a perfect time for her to marry the Holy Son of Tian'en Mountain to solidify our relationship with Tian'en Mountain."
Nangong Jun is actually Nangong Wan's biological father.
Hearing Nangong Jun's words, the elders present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wan'er is a good girl. She's talented. Plus, as the daughter of the patriarch, marrying the Holy Son of Tian'en Mountain wouldn't be considered a disgrace to Tian'en Mountain. It's a win-win situation!"
"Nangong Wan is a member of our Nangong family. Now that she is married to Saint Tu Fu, she can be considered as making a contribution to our Nangong family. Moreover, Saint Tu Fu's talent is extremely terrifying. He has cultivated to the peak of the Immortal King at only 30 million years old. He can expect to become an Immortal Emperor soon."
"If Nangong Wan knew, she would be grateful to us. After all, isn't her wish to become even more powerful? With the resources of Tian'en Mountain, it won't be difficult for her to break through to the Immortal Emperor or even the Immortal Venerable."
The elders below spoke in a relaxed tone, and no one considered Nangong Wan's thoughts.
But Nangong Jun thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.
"In order to get Wan'er to come back, I even fabricated a story that her mother was seriously injured in a fight with a monster outside and wanted to see her, so I tricked her back. So after Wan'er returns, remember not to tell anyone about her mother's death."
"Yes, Patriarch, we all know."
The elders present all patted their chests and made assurances.
But they all knew that Nangong Wan's mother's death was not due to a fight with a monster, but an accident.
On the other side, Nangong Wan didn't know about this. At this moment, she was rushing back with Wu Li in silence.
Along the way, Wu Li noticed Nangong Wan's low mood, but he didn't say any words of comfort. After all, he didn't know what had happened to Nangong Wan, so he still needed to go to Nangong's house to find out.
Time also passed quietly by minute by second.
Soon half a year passed, and during this journey, Wu Li's cultivation level uncontrollably broke through from the peak of the Golden Immortal to the early stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
"We're here. In front of us is the Nangong family."
Standing on a distant mountain, looking at a town not far away, Nangong Wan's expression was extremely complicated. The Nangong family was located in a blessed land, and the town in front was just the way to the Nangong family.
Just when Nangong Wan and Wu Li appeared in front of the Nangong family's gate, Nangong Jun personally brought the elders of the Nangong family out to greet Nangong Wan, as a little compensation to Nangong Wan.
However, when they saw Wu Li beside Nangong Wan, Nangong Jun and the other elders' expressions became a little ugly. If Saint Tu Fu knew about this, he would probably not marry Nangong Wan.
"Wan'er, welcome home. Who is this?"
Nangong Jun looked at Nangong Wan with a hypocritical smile on his face. After greeting her, he looked at Wu Li and asked.
Nangong Wan didn't have a good impression of her father and spoke with a flat expression.
"Father, this is my friend. Why, is he not welcome? If he is not welcome, then I will not come back."
"How is that possible? Wan'er's friends are naturally friends of our Nangong family. Come in first and we'll talk."
Nangong Jun smiled and said, then stepped aside and said.
Hearing this, Nangong Wan looked at Wu Li and said.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk."
At this time, Wu Li's expression seemed a little solemn. He also saw that Nangong Wan did not have a good relationship with Nangong Jun in front of him, or it seemed that she had a bad relationship with the entire Nangong family.
But now is not the time to ask questions, so he can just follow in first and ask later. In Wu Li's perception, Nangong Jun in front of him is not as good as Wen Juren, which means he is not even as good as the Immortal Emperor, so it is still within the scope of what he can handle.
Soon Wu Li followed Nangong Wan into the Nangong family. Looking at the backs of the two people entering, Nangong Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light in his eyes.
"Master, what should we do with this kid? If Saint Tu Fu knew about this, he would probably ask for a different marriage partner."
At this moment, an elder came to Nangong Jun and said with a serious expression.
But Nangong Jun waved his hand and said.
"Don't worry about it. Judging from the current situation, Wan'er's relationship with this kid isn't what we thought it would be. We just need to tell Wan'er that this is her mother's last wish. I'm sure she won't refuse given her personality."
"As for this brat, find an opportunity to get rid of him without letting Saint Tu Fu know."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Wu Li didn't know that he had been targeted by Nangong Jun and the others. At this time, he was led by Nangong Wan to a villa that didn't look very exquisite.
