Chapter 277: Nangong Wan’s Family

Chapter 277: Nangong Wan's Family

"Ah?"

Hearing Nangong Wan's words, Wu Li didn't react for a moment, the expression on his face still carrying a trace of disbelief.

After all, he had gotten along quite well with Nangong Wan during this period, and coupled with the great support Nangong Wan had given him while refining the Golden Thunder Flying Sword and in the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, Wu Li found it somewhat difficult to accept that Nangong Wan wanted to leave now.

But Nangong Wan's eyes were hesitant for a moment, though she quickly firmed up and sighed, saying, "My Family has had some trouble, I need to go back."

"Your Family?"

Wu Li's face was thoughtful; he hadn't heard Nangong Wan mention the Family behind her during this time, so in Wu Li's view, Nangong Wan was most likely a Loose Cultivator, but now it seemed that wasn't the case?

"Mm, I have to go back."

Nangong Wan nodded, her expression complex; it was very clear that her relationship with the Nangong Family behind her was not very good.

And just at this moment, Wu Li spoke up.

"Since that's the case, then I will accompany you for a trip. After all, we can be considered friends now, and I also want to contribute a meager effort for my friend."

Wu Li said this without hesitation. It just so happened that his Golden Thunder Flying Sword Array had finished refining, and his hands were itching; while resolving the matter for the Nangong Family, he could also conveniently practice.

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 direction of the Eastern Region across the vast space; that was precisely the direction of the Nangong Family.

And at this time in the Eastern Region, inside the Nangong Family.

Nangong Jun, the head of the Nangong Family, was sitting on the Family Head's seat, and the elders of the Nangong Family were gathered together, their expressions appearing extremely solemn.

After a long while, Nangong Jun finally spoke.

"Everyone, I have already contacted Wan'er. Wan'er is expected to return in half a year. At that time, it will be just right for her to marry the Saint of Tian En Mountain to consolidate our relationship with Tian En Mountain."

Nangong Jun was, in fact, Nangong Wan's biological father.

Hearing Nangong Jun's words, the elders present could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That girl Wan'er is good; she has talent, and coupled with the identity of the Family Head's daughter, marrying the Saint of Tian En Mountain is not losing face for Tian En Mountain, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Nangong Wan is originally from our Nangong Family. Now, marrying Tu Fu Holy Son can be considered a contribution to our Nangong Family. Moreover, Tu Fu Holy Son's talent is terrifying; he has only reached the Immortal King Peak at thirty million years old. Becoming an Immortal Emperor in the near future is to be expected."

"If that girl Nangong Wan knew, she would also be grateful to us. After all, wasn't her wish to become more powerful? With the support of Tian En Mountain's resources, even having her Breakthrough to the Immortal Sovereign or even Immortal Venerable is not a difficult matter."

The elders below spoke in a relaxed and comfortable tone, and no one considered Nangong Wan's thoughts.

It was just that Nangong Jun thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.

"In order to get that girl Wan'er to come back, I didn't hesitate to fabricate that her mother was seriously injured while fighting a Yao Beast outside and wanted to see her, which is why I tricked her into coming back. So, when Wan'er returns, all of you must remember not to let slip the matter of her mother's passing."

"Yes, Family Head, we all know."

The elders present all patted their chests in assurance.

But they all knew clearly that the passing of Nangong Wan's mother was not due to a fight with a Yao Beast, but an accident.

On the other side, Nangong Wan did not know about this matter. At this time, she was silently on the road back with Wu Li.

Along the way, Wu Li noticed Nangong Wan's low mood, but comforting words ultimately did not come out. After all, he also didn't know what had happened to Nangong Wan, and he still needed to go to the Nangong Family to understand it before he could know.

Time also passed quietly second by second during this period.

Soon, half a year had passed. On this journey, Wu Li's cultivation also uncontrollably broke through from the Golden Immortal Peak to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage.

"We have arrived. Ahead is the Nangong Family."

Standing on a distant mountain, looking at a town not far away, Nangong Wan's expression was extremely complex. The Nangong Family was located in a Grotto-heaven, and the town in front was just a place leading to the Nangong Family.

And just when Nangong Wan appeared in front of the Nangong Family's gate with Wu Li, Nangong Jun personally brought the elders of the Nangong Family out to welcome Nangong Wan, as a little compensation for Nangong Wan.

However, upon seeing Wu Li beside Nangong Wan, the expressions of Nangong Jun and the elders became somewhat ugly. If Tu Fu Holy Son found out, he probably wouldn't marry Nangong Wan.

"Wan'er, welcome home. Who is this?"

Nangong Jun looked at Nangong Wan with a hypocritical smile on his face, and after greeting her, looked at Wu Li and asked.

Nangong Wan had no affection for her father and said with a flat expression:

"Father, this is my friend. What, are you not welcoming? If you are not welcoming, then I won't come back."

"How could that be? Wan'er's friend is naturally a friend of our Nangong Family. Come in first."

Nangong Jun smiled and said, then stepped aside.

Hearing this, Nangong Wan looked at Wu Li and said:

"Let's go, we'll go in and talk."

At this time, Wu Li's expression also appeared somewhat solemn. He also saw that Nangong Wan's relationship with the Nangong Jun in front of him was not very good, or rather, it seemed that her relationship with everyone in the Nangong Family was not good.

But now was not the occasion to ask. It was better to just follow inside first and ask later. In Wu Li's perception, the Nangong Jun in front of him was not even as good as Sect Leader Wen, which meant that there wasn't even an Immortal Emperor, so it was still within the scope of what he could handle.

Soon, Wu Li followed Nangong Wan into the Nangong Family. Watching their retreating backs, Nangong Jun narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous light.

"Family Head, what about this brat? If Tu Fu Holy Son finds out, he might demand to change the marriage partner."

Just at this moment, an Elder came to Nangong Jun and said with a solemn expression.

But Nangong Jun waved his hand and said:

"No need to care. Judging from the current situation, the relationship between Wan'er and this brat is not what we thought. We just need to tell Wan'er that this is her mother's dying wish. Presumably, with her temperament, she won't refuse."

"As for this brat, find an opportunity to deal with him, as long as Tu Fu Holy Son doesn't know."

"Yes, Family Head!"

Wu Li didn't know yet that he had already been targeted by Nangong Jun and the others. At this time, under Nangong Wan's guidance, he came to a villa that didn't look very exquisite.
