  Li Er was both frightened and worried, but more excited. The fact that someone could disappear in an instant proved that Zhang Sun Chong's words made sense.

  "Oh no!" Zhangsun Chong lay on the ground rubbing his buttocks, "I'm going to die from this fall!"

  As soon as Duan heard the sound of Changsun Wuji's voice, she struggled to get up from Changsun Wuji's arms and knelt on the ground, shaking constantly. She touched Changsun Wuji's face with both hands, shaking non-stop, as if trying to prove that this was not a dream, her son was indeed in front of her, not an illusion.

  Zhang Sun Chong was shaken by Dou Shi so much that he felt dizzy and his eyes were blurred, even the pain on his buttocks was forgotten.

  "Mother... mother... I'm fine, it's just that the old immortal summoned me over!" Zhangsun Chong said weakly, "I'm dizzy, stop shaking me!"

  Dong's mother was overjoyed to see her son return, and she burst into tears of happiness, saying: "My son, my son......"

  Chang Sun Wuji was deep in thought and quick-witted. In this short period of time, he had already come up with several countermeasures!

  "Chong'er, what's going on?" asked Zhangsun Wuji. Now the Emperor also knew about his son's strange encounter, which would save him from making excuses for his son in the future.

  Chang Sun Chong repeated what he and Li Er had said that day.

  "Has the medicine been brought over?" Chang Sun Wuji hastily asked, if it hadn't been brought out, he would have beaten this little rascal even without Li Er taking action.

  Chang Sun Chong took out the medicine that Du Ruhui had used to treat diabetes and handed it over to Chang Sun Wuji, saying: "Dad, they're all here. Take one pill a day for thirty days in a row, and I guarantee you'll be cured of your illness and live to be seventy or eighty years old. You'll naturally pass away at the end of your life without any problems!"

  "If there are immortals, doesn't that mean there really is an elixir of life?" Li Er stared at Zhangsun Chong, asking in a low voice, his face expressionless.

  Chang Sun Wuji's heart skipped a beat. Immortals could live forever, and Qin Shi Huang had sent Xu Fu to the East with 3,000 boys and girls in search of the legendary elixir of immortality. Although his brother-in-law was talented and ambitious, he might not be able to remain calm in the face of the elixir of immortality.

  Chang Sun Chong heard this and thought, "I'm done for. No matter how much I calculated, I forgot that since there are immortals, it's only natural that they wouldn't die and would live forever. This...this is hard to explain."

  "Huh?" Li Er frowned.

  Chang Sun chuckled and said: "I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, Father, Mother, Uncle, and Aunt will be disappointed!" Think of a way, find an excuse...

  "It's nothing!" The four of them said in unison, four people, eight eyes staring intently at Zhangsun Chong.

  "In the heavenly court, all gods are immortal and only increase in number, never decrease. Therefore, after the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment of gods, they no longer accepted mortal cultivators or demon cultivators, and also took back the right for mortals and animals to cultivate. During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang did not believe it, so he sent Xu Fu to search for it personally, but Xu Fu could not find it. Afraid of Qin Shi Huang's cruelty, Xu Fu brought 3,000 boys and girls to sail east to Fusang." Long Sun Chong said slowly, with a very regretful expression.

  "Son, can you go there and become immortal?" asked Dou Shi anxiously, worried that her son would disappear in the blink of an eye again.

  Chang Sun sighed and said: "I'd like to become an immortal, but they simply don't want ordinary people!"

  "How did you disappear?" asked Dou Shi anxiously.

  Those old gods can't die, and they don't have any entertainment in their daily lives. They're very lonely, but all they want is something from the mortal world, so they made a deal with us!" Zhangsun Chong helplessly spread his hands, "As for me, I was chosen because of my special body, but I'm just an unlucky guy who got picked by them! I won't be able to live forever, but they said I can live until I'm 90 years old!"

  Li Er was slightly disappointed, but not regretful. A man lives for a lifetime, and grass lives for an autumn; as long as one lives with great passion, it's much better than living idly for ten thousand years. What he cared about more was whether those gods would come to the mortal world and pose a threat to his rule.

  "Will they come to the human world?" Li Er asked in a low voice.

  Chang Sun Chong had already thought of this and hastily added, "Don't worry, Uncle. Mortals and gods are on different paths. We ordinary people can't enter the realm of the immortals, but they also can't come out. If they do, their place will be reduced to nothing but ash and smoke, not even leaving behind a single speck of dust. That's why I was chosen."

  Li Er yi listened and slightly relaxed, as long as these people didn't come to disturb or interfere with his rule. He said: "Chong er, from now on, our contact with the immortal realm will rely more on you."

  "Uncle, aunt, parents, we are a family. From now on, if I can help in any way, just let me know." The eldest grandson patted his chest, "Right, uncle, we have the medicine to save Du Chengxiang, how should we give it to him? If Du Chengxiang comes back to life, how will we explain it to outsiders?"

  Zhong Sun Chong was overjoyed and told the four elders half the truth, now he could hand these matters over to them and let them figure out an excuse.

  Li Er thought he could take advantage of his strange encounter and get a free meal, so he asked for help wiping his butt, no, that sounds too unpleasant, rather, he asked for assistance!

  "Yes, Second Brother, you must think carefully, otherwise Chong'er will be in danger." The Empress Changsun furrowed her brow, a matter of great importance to both the Changsun family and the Li Tang imperial court.

  Li Er nodded and said: "Yes, I'll stay here today and watch Du Ai, Du Ai will stay here to rest!"

  "Is he here?" Zhangsun Chong felt that Li Er was not making enough sense, so he took the medicine in front of Li Er's face and threw out the scalding yam to make Li Er's head ache. If Li Er put people on the Zhuangzi of the Zhangsun family, after a month, the half-dead Du Ruhui would recover and be lively, as long as he wasn't an idiot, anyone could guess that there was a connection with the Zhangsun family.

  "Hmm!" Li Er smiled and said, "This is the most suitable place!"

  "Why?" Zhangsun Chong was perplexed and couldn't figure it out.

  Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji exchanged a glance, shook their heads and smiled.

  Empress Changsun slapped Longsun Chong on the back of his head and said, "On the other side of the river south of your family's estate is the Du family's estate!"

  That river is two miles away, and there's a stone arch bridge on it. The Du family's village is very close to the Zhangsun family's village!

  Du Hei that scoundrel, lives so close to his own home in Zhuangzi, yet he spends every day living at my eldest grandson's house, eating at my eldest grandson's house, and even shamelessly hitting on the young women in my family's Zhuangzi.

  But thinking of Du He's father being ill at the moment, he let this kid off for now and would make him spit it out double when he had the chance in the future.

  "Stay tonight and tomorrow morning, I will personally send Du Ai Qing to the neighboring Zhuangzi." Li Er looked at the medicine in his hand, he accompanied Du Ru Hui by her side, wanting to see the effect of this medicine with his own eyes.

  It was just one night, and he would leave tomorrow, never thinking of him again.

  Li Er held the medicine and arrived at the room where Du Ruhui was placed. He walked to Du Ruhui's bedside and said, "Brother Keming, don't worry, I've already sent someone to fetch the medicine for you. You shouldn't move today, so just stay here temporarily. Tomorrow, I'll personally escort you back to your home in Zhuangzi. My dear consorts, you can all go back first. I'll keep company with Brother Keming."

  Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were very close, kneeling on the ground, knocking their heads and crying: "Your humble minister begs Your Majesty to allow me to stay here with Ke Ming for one night and see him off!"

  Wei Zheng wiped his eyes and choked with sobs, saying: "Your Majesty, I, your humble minister, have served in the same court as ×××, we are like brothers, I also want to stay behind to accompany Ci Ming's younger brother."

  At this time, Li Er's facial muscles twitched. He had originally thought of dispersing these people, but they all thought that Du Ruhui would not live through the night and were unwilling to leave, wanting to accompany Du Ruhui on his last journey.
