Looking at the somewhat dilapidated villa in front of him, Wu Li's expression was a little complicated. From what he knew and his observations of the Nangong family along the way, the Nangong family should not have such a dilapidated villa.
But now not only is it there, it is also Nangong Wan’s residence, which makes Wu Li feel bad.
At this moment, Nangong Wan turned her back to Wu Li, sighed, and said with no emotion in her tone.
"My father is the patriarch of the Nangong family, the middle-aged man just now, a peak-level Immortal Venerable."
"My relationship with him wasn't very good, so I left the Nangong family after I became an adult. I came back this time only because he said my mother wanted to see me. Is there anything else you want to know?"
When she said this, Nangong Wan turned to look at Wu Li and asked with a somewhat calm expression.
Wu Li was silent for a while, then he sighed and said.
"You must have had a very difficult time in the Nangong family during those years."
After all, with the Nangong family's background and Nangong Wan's status, it is absolutely impossible for them to live in such a shabby place. But now they live in such a shabby place, which is enough to show that Nangong Wan must have had a very hard time in those eighteen years.
Nangong Wan obviously didn't expect Wu Li to say such a thing. She was stunned and muttered to herself after a long time.
"It's just a few rough patches, it's all over."
"Nangong Jun has many wives and concubines, and he has many children. My mother was someone he accidentally met outside. He coveted my mother's beauty, so he deceived her."
"By the time my mother realized what was happening, she was already pregnant with me. There was no other way. For my sake, my mother could only humbly ask Nangong Jun for help and move into the Nangong family."
"But because my mother's talent is low, the Nangong family didn't intend to spend too many resources on her. So after helping my mother break through to the Great Emperor Realm, they stopped interfering with my mother."
"Because of my appearance, my mother couldn't leave the Nangong family either. Just because of my mother's identity, I was also looked down upon by the Nangong family, so I left the Nangong family after I became an adult."
"If it weren't for my mother, I probably wouldn't have come back."
Her mother is Nangong Wan's only concern and her only connection with the Nangong family. If it weren't for her mother, she would probably never return to the Nangong family even if she died.
After hearing Nangong Wan's words, Wu Li was silent for a while, and his heart seemed to be touched, and he spoke slowly.
"If you have any problems in the future, you can tell me. We are friends, and I will do my best to help you."
"Just friends?"
When Nangong Wan heard Wu Li's words, she spoke in a somewhat disappointed tone, but because her voice was too low, Wu Li did not hear it.
"What?"
"Nothing, well, you can practice here first. I'm going to go see my mother."
After Nangong Wan finished speaking, she planned to go find her mother, but Wu Li spoke.
"I'll go with you. I don't feel well. Maybe something will happen."
Nangong Wan obviously didn't expect Wu Li to actually speak. After all, in her impression of him during that period, Wu Li was just a wooden man who could only practice cultivation, and he would never say such words.
But now is obviously not the time to reject Wu Li. In addition, she also felt vaguely uneasy after returning to the Nangong family, but she has not yet opened the Eye of Destiny to see what is happening.
After Nangong Wan nodded in agreement, Wu Li followed her in the other direction of Nangong's house.
On the way, Nangong Wan also started to explain.
"My mother originally lived with me, but after I started practicing, Nangong Jun took her to another place, right in front. Here we are."
As Nangong Wan stopped, a villa similar to Nangong Wan's residence suddenly appeared in front of them.
But after stopping, Nangong Wan and Wu Li's expressions became a little solemn, because they both sensed that there was only an extremely powerful aura in the villa in front of them, but it was obviously not from Nangong Wan's mother.
After all, according to Nangong Wan's words, the Nangong family would never waste too many resources on her mother, and the aura of the figure inside that they sensed had reached the level of an Immortal Venerable.
“It’s Nangong Jun.”
Nangong Wan's expression was grim. She had already recognized that the aura inside was that of her biological father, Nangong Jun.
At this time, Wu Li reached out and put his hand on Nangong Wan's shoulder to comfort her.
"Go in first and see what's going on."
"Um."
Nangong Wan nodded with a grim expression, and then entered the villa accompanied by Wu Li.
After entering the villa, Nangong Jun turned his back to them and spoke softly.
"You're here."
"Father, where is my mother?"
Nangong Wan went straight to the point without any hesitation.
Hearing Nangong Wan's words, Nangong Jun couldn't help but sigh, and a look of sadness slowly appeared on his face.
"Yuehua, my Yuehua, she passed away a month ago."
"What!"
Hearing Nangong Jun's words, Nangong Wan felt her heart sink and she almost lost control. She looked at Nangong Jun angrily and said with disbelief in her heart.
"How is this possible, Nangong Jun? What happened to my mother? She is a great emperor with a lifespan of at least a million years. How could she die? Moreover, during this period of time, she also cultivated to the level of Red Dust Immortal. How could she die!"
"Hey, when Yuehua was out looking for opportunities, she was attacked by a peak Red Dust Immortal monster. She burned her essence and escaped back to the Nangong family. However, by the time I found her, it was too late to save her."
When he said this, Nangong Jun's tone was full of sadness. After all, Yuehua was a good toy for him. Now that she has fallen, he naturally feels a little sad.
Nangong Wan didn't believe it at all. In her impression, her mother was very careful about her life. How could she rashly go to the secret realm?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. My mother contacted me just half a year ago and said she wanted to see me. How could something like this happen by such a coincidence?"
"Wan'er, you have to believe that this was really an accident. Your mother is really gone."
Nangong Jun looked at Nangong Wan, and his tone returned to calm from the previous sadness, as if he had let go of the death of Nangong Wan's mother.
But who is Nangong Wan? How could she not see that there was definitely something strange about her mother's death?
