Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 270 - 272 Breaking Out of the Shell

"Son, do you... do you still hate me?" Wu Fa took a step forward, intending to embrace his son, but Wu Tian dodged.

Wu Tian’s expression was calm. For twenty years, this man had never returned to find him and his mother. He still remembered the hardships they had endured during his childhood, all of which were connected to Wu Fa.

His heart was already serene and detached. Hate? That no longer existed. He had become completely indifferent toward this man.

"Have you come back to acknowledge me and Mom?" Wu Tian asked.

"This..." Wu Fa glanced at Wang Cai standing behind him, his face troubled. Wang Cai had also sacrificed a lot for him. Although she was magnanimous, Wu Fa knew that no woman was willing to share her husband.

Seeing his hesitation, Wu Tian gave a cold smile. "If that’s the case, why are you really here?"

Wu Fa sighed. There was another reason he hadn’t sought out Murong Yezi and Wu Tian: the feuds of Ghost Valley could not be allowed to involve them. After a moment of deliberation, he said, "I came to Yang City to find a Divine Doctor."

"Oh?" Wu Tian was intrigued. If he wasn’t mistaken, the Divine Doctor Wu Fa was looking for was none other than himself. He glanced at Wang Cai again; her pale face confirmed she was ill. After a thought, Wu Tian asked, "Aren’t you going to see her?"

Wu Fa knew the "her" Wu Tian mentioned was Murong Yezi. Murong Yezi was aware of Wu Tian’s medical skills. If Wu Fa went to see her and told her about Wang Cai’s condition, her kind heart would surely lead her to ask Wu Tian for help.

But Wu Fa shook his head. "No, I won’t go."

Wu Tian gave a dry laugh. "You’ve missed your chance."

With that said, Wu Tian picked up the little fellow and drifted away. He wouldn’t change his principles just because Wu Fa was his father.

Wu Fa was momentarily stunned by Wu Tian’s words, not understanding what he meant. Wang Cai was also stunned, but she recovered more quickly. "Right, that aura just now... was that Wu Tian’s? We have to ask him to be sure."

Snapping back to reality, Wu Fa nodded hurriedly. He took Wang Cai by the hand and they chased after Wu Tian.

"So fast!"

"Yes!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

But by the time the crowd looked again, Wu Tian and the little fellow had already vanished without a trace. Wu Fa and Wang Cai couldn’t possibly catch up. They didn’t even see their retreating figures.

"Wait, what did that father and daughter look like? Does anyone remember?" an old man in the crowd suddenly cried out in disbelief.

At his words, the others tried to recall, only to realize they couldn’t remember the faces of the young man and the little fellow at all. They exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if they had just encountered an Immortal or a monster.

Wu Fa and Wang Cai were even more shocked. Has Wu Tian really become this powerful?

"Should we go look for him?" Wang Cai asked again.

"No. Nothing is more important than your health. Let’s find the Divine Doctor first," Wu Fa said firmly.

Little did he know, the so-called Divine Doctor had just been right in front of him.

Home was right in front of Wu Tian and the little fellow.

"Should I tell Grandma?" the little fellow asked in her small, child-like voice.

Wu Tian shook his head. "There’s no need."

If Murong Yezi knew why Wu Fa hadn’t come for her, she would probably be heartbroken, wouldn’t she? Back then, Wu Fa had told her he was just going home for a bit and would return immediately. Yet, he had been gone for so many years. Murong Yezi believed something must be holding him back, a belief that gave her a reason to keep going. What would she do if she found out he had taken another wife?

Later that evening, as soon as Wu Tian finished dinner, Qin Yuhan asked him to begin teaching her the Martial Path. Wu Tian readily agreed and asked her to come to his room. The little fellow wanted to tag along but was held back by Murong Yezi.

"But Granny, why? They’re just going to practice the Martial Path," the little fellow said, her expression innocent and confused.

"You’re wrong. In any case, you are not to disturb them." Murong Yezi settled the little fellow down to watch cartoons. There weren’t many good ones on TV anymore, so she connected a computer to play shows from an old animation channel.

The theme song for "Chinese Diligent Study Stories" began to play: "A day’s plan starts in the morning, a life’s plan starts with diligence... Let me tell you a string of stories, for ambition blossoms in youth..."

Murong Yezi used to show these stories to Wu Tian when he was young, hoping he would learn the value of hard work, just like the great figures of the past. She now hoped to raise her granddaughter to be a top scholar and was quite confident she could.

The little fellow, however, wasn’t so confident in herself.

"Granny, is it okay if I don’t become a top scholar?"

"No!"

As for Qin Yuhan, she entered Wu Tian’s room. The usually icy CEO showed a hint of shyness.

"What... what are you planning to do?" she asked, her tone slightly defensive.

Speechless, Wu Tian simply told her about the Teleportation Formation in his room. It was the first time Qin Yuhan had heard of such a thing, and a look of wonder appeared on her pretty face.

Wu Tian then led Qin Yuhan to the Teleportation Formation. In the next moment, they arrived at the New Holy Land of Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.

Outside the New Holy Land, a military camp was still stationed. Experts had been invited to research how to enter the Sacred Land, but even they were powerless. There were too many things in this world that science couldn’t explain. Arrow King and Arrow Queen were also outside the New Holy Land, but they had no solution either.

Inside the New Holy Land, Wu Tian began teaching Qin Yuhan an ordinary ’manual.’ Though it was an ordinary ’manual,’ it was widely circulated in the Immortal Emperor Realm. Its author was unknown, but its perfectly balanced nature made it the most suitable choice for Qin Yuhan.

Qin Yuhan closed her eyes and began her cultivation. The Spiritual Energy of the New Holy Land flowed into her body with each breath. Her skin grew smoother, her complexion fairer.

Not bad. Wu Tian nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on her. When he first arrived in the Immortal Emperor Realm, he had also used this ’manual’ as his first Secret Scroll. Now, as he watched Qin Yuhan’s progress, he compared her cultivation path with his own, looking for any ways his own journey could have been perfected.

Yuhan has only just started her cultivation. It won’t do for her to be without a protective Magical Treasure. Qin Yuhan’s aura was still faint, but it was distinct enough that practitioners of Martial Skills could sense it. Wu Tian worried she might get drawn into the conflicts of the Jianghu.

I need to find some good iron! To forge a weapon for Qin Yuhan, he knew a fine piece of metal was essential. This wasn’t the Immortal Emperor Realm. In the secular world, what was the best metal available? Naturally, it was Xuan iron.

Just then, the Teleportation Formation in the New Holy Land fluctuated again. It was Little Kirin, entering with the egg on its back and an anxious look in its eyes.

Wu Tian looked closely and saw cracks forming on the egg’s shell. The Divine Beast inside was about to hatch. But what kind of Divine Beast is it? he wondered.
