A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Responsibility

“You both want to go out?”

Wu Hao looked at Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu in front of him, his expression filled with surprise as he asked.

Wu Mowu decisively nodded. “Great Grandfather, as cultivators, we should go against the current and push forward. Staying at home would not stabilize my heart for cultivation, so I want to leave the Wu Family and temper my heart for the Dao!”

Upon hearing Wu Mowu’s words, Wu Hao turned his gaze to Wu Xianni.

Without any hesitation, Wu Xianni said, “I am her brother and have the responsibility to protect her. What if she dies outside? It would be a disgrace to our Wu Family!”

Wu Mowu acknowledged that she felt somewhat moved by the first half of his statement, but the latter half infuriated her to the point where she wanted to teach Wu Xianni a harsh lesson.

In truth, Wu Xianni said this on purpose. Otherwise, if he stated she wanted to go out just for a leisurely time, Great Grandfather would certainly not agree.

As for why Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu came to Wu Hao to discuss this matter, it was because they both knew that if they went directly to their father, he would absolutely refuse.

They could guess the reasoning of the older generation, which would go something like, “Oh, you should just stay at home. Is the Wu Family lacking in resources or practice partners? It’s dangerous outside; staying home is much safer.”

But both Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu knew in their hearts that even if they stayed in the safe environment of the Wu Family, they could restore their Immortal Emperor realm, but it would take much longer.

Thus, to ascend to the Upper Realm and regain the Immortal Emperor status as quickly as possible, Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu had no choice but to seek out Wu Hao.

As long as Wu Hao agreed, then Wu Qinlong on his end should not raise any objections.

Wu Hao naturally would not refuse; in fact, he preferred that the Child of Destiny went out, as they would not be in life-threatening danger. Furthermore, facing challenges would only make them stronger.

For Wu Hao, it was undoubtedly a good thing.

“Since you both insist on going out, make your safety your primary concern. Unless absolutely necessary, don’t mention that you’re from the Wu Family, understand?”

Wu Hao said seriously, giving them a warning.

After all, who knows what enemies the Child of Destiny might attract? Especially since Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu are both formidable figures at the Immortal Emperor level. If they happened to provoke an Immortal Sovereign or even an Immortal Venerable, with Wu Hao’s current cultivation, he would completely be unable to fend them off.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu felt a surge of joy in their hearts and quickly nodded in agreement.

“Great Grandfather, don’t worry! We absolutely won’t mention that we come from the Wu Family!”

Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu thought in unison, their minds racing with the understanding that Great Grandfather indeed wanted them to keep a low profile; otherwise, revealing their identity would render their training meaningless.

Once they all agreed, Wu Hao discreetly left a protective power on them, which would only activate in the event of a life-threatening crisis.

“Grandfather, are you really planning to let them go out?”

Upon hearing the news, Wu Qinlong came to Wu Hao, looking somewhat worried and reluctant.

Wu Hao gently shook his head.

“Yifan and Wu Li both walked this path, and if they want to become strong, they must leave the Wu Family. While the Wu Family serves as a sanctuary, staying in the harbor does not benefit a child’s growth at all.”

“But Grandfather, didn’t Wu Li just break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage?”

Wu Qinlong asked with a peculiar expression, hesitating for a moment before inquiring.

Wu Hao sighed, looking at Wu Qinlong with a gaze full of disappointment.

“Just look at how old Wu Li is; he only turned one hundred and has already reached the Tribulation Crossing stage. At your one hundred years old, weren’t you still at the tribulation stage?”

Wu Qinlong’s eyes brightened, and he realized that he had indeed fallen into a misunderstanding. Comparatively, while Wu Li may fall slightly short when compared to Wu Yifan and Wu Yidao, to everyone else, he remained the unbeatable Heaven’s Chosen.

“Grandfather, I’ve been shortsighted.”

“Hmm, as long as you understand that. Go on now. Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu staying in the Wu Family will never match up to Wu Yifan and Wu Yidao; only by going out can they have a brighter future.”

With that, Wu Hao turned and left.

Meanwhile, after preparing, Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu prepared to leave the Wu Family, but Wu Xianni insisted on staying close to Wu Mowu, no matter how much Wu Mowu tried to avoid her.

“Hey, back in the Wu Family, it was fine for you to follow me. But now that we’ve left the Wu Family, why are you still tagging along?”

Wu Mowu looked at Wu Xianni beside her, who was unwilling to leave, and felt a wave of disdain rise within her. If Wu Xianni stayed by her side, how could she quickly become strong?

The primary goal of Wu Mowu leaving the Wu Family was to overtake others from the outside, quietly grow stronger, and then shock Wu Xianni. But if Wu Xianni kept following her, she wouldn’t be able to overtake others at all.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xianni said with utmost seriousness, “You are my sister, and it is only right for a brother to protect his sister. Plus, my sister is so beautiful; if some yellow-haired guy were to abduct her, wouldn’t that be a loss for the Wu Family?”

But is that really the truth? That’s a lie!

“Ke ke ke, my dear sister, do you really think I don’t know what you’re thinking? By following you, I intend to see just how you secretly become stronger!” Wu Xianni thought to himself, a sly smile creeping onto his face. This expression instantly made Wu Mowu, who had initially been touched, feel disgusted. Forget it; she would find an opportunity to slip away secretly.

However, it wasn’t clear if it was because Wu Xianni was too observant or if Wu Mowu’s attempts were too clumsy, but for more than half a year, Wu Mowu hadn’t been able to shake off Wu Xianni.

After leaving the Wu Family, the two changed their identities. After all, the Wu Family had already been crowned as the first family in the Xuantian Realm. If they were to venture out under their current names, it wouldn’t take long for everyone to know that they were the Heaven’s Chosen of the Wu Family, and they would be treated with utmost respect, not daring to offend them in the slightest. This was completely contrary to their goals.

“Since that’s the case, I will start calling myself Li Jiaoyang from today!” Wu Xianni thought for a moment and then said exuberantly. If it weren’t for the fact that the name would damage his prestige, it might have made him look quite elegant.

Wu Mowu couldn’t help but laugh at this.

“Hahaha, this is hilarious! Wu Xianni, if you can’t come up with a good name, then don’t bother. If others find out later that you are part of the Wu Family, it will certainly bring shame to our family.”

Feeling embarrassed at Wu Mowu’s mocking laughter, Wu Xianni’s face turned red, but it was quickly replaced by indignation.

“Fine, fine, fine! If you think you can come up with a better name, then you do it!”
