The fifth time ten years have passed, young man

  Looking at the Rejuvenating Pellet in Zhang Tian Shi's hand, Xi Men Chui Xue's heart was racing wildly, as if he had taken Viagra and seen a naked beauty, causing his aged heart to surge with a hint of crazy passion.

  It's not like he doesn't want to live ten more years, free from disasters and illnesses. However, Xi Men Chui Xue can't just abandon his own dignity, right? He had just refused, and now he wants to take it back, which is quite hard to say.

  Zhang also glared at her husband fiercely, as if to say, "Look at you, who asked you to be hypocritical? Now it's fun!"

  Zhang Yu, who was in Zhang's womb, oh no, it was Ximen Qing, had a shocking gaze at Zhang Tian Shi, that gaze was like a wolf, staring at Zhang Tian Shi as if he could swallow him alive.

  Hui Chun Dan? Extending life by ten years? This is a great thing, didn't expect this old guy to have such goods, now I'm going to get rich! Right, this old guy seems to care about me, heh heh, I'll swindle some from him later. Ximen Qing thought to himself, laughing slyly in his heart.

  Zhang Tian Shi also saw Ximen Chui Xue's embarrassment, and immediately burst out laughing. He stuffed the jade bottle into Ximen Chui Xue's hand and said: "Ximen old master, don't be polite! This Spring Dan was originally prepared by me for you two. Please don't disappoint my good intentions. If you two won't accept it, then I'll have no face to come again in ten years!"

  Ximen Chui Xue smiled awkwardly, then tightly grasped the bottle and nodded, saying: "In that case, I'll take my leave. Farewell, Master Dao, be careful on your journey!"

  Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, Daozhang, be careful on the road!"

  Zhang Tian Shi nodded and smiled as he took a jade pendant from his own bosom and hung it around Ximen Qing's neck.

  The jade pendant is round in shape, with carved hollow flowers on its surface. It looks ordinary, but it's crystal clear and transparent, like pure crystal.

  He smiled and explained to Ximen Chui Xue and Zhang Shi, "This jade pendant is carved from the crystal nurtured by heaven and earth, with the effect of nourishing Qi and activating blood. Moreover, it can also keep the innate motherly aura in Qing'er's body from dissipating. Although that innate motherly aura is very weak, it is exceptionally precious. After ten years, when Qing'er starts practicing martial arts, it will have an extraordinary great effect. Hehe... so let him wear it all the time!"

  Although Xi Men Chui Xue didn't quite understand Zhang Tian Shi's words, he still nodded solemnly and then stuffed the jade pendant into Xi Men Qing's clothes.

  "Both of you, I bid farewell and take my leave!" said Zhang Tian Shi with a bow.

  Ximen Chui Xue and Zhang Shi also nodded repeatedly, shaking their heads as they saw Zhang Tian Shi off.

  Embracing Zhang Shi, Ximen Chongxue teased Ximen Qing and then said to Zhang Shi: "Madam, let's go in!"

  ······

  Time flies like an arrow, years are like flying shuttles, and in the blink of an eye, they have quietly passed. Ten years have gone by, just like that.

  Yesterday's baby in swaddling clothes has already grown into a handsome young man.

  At this time, in the backyard of the Ximen government office, a handsome young man was lying on a reclining chair, drinking wine leisurely, with an expression of enjoyment.

  "Master, master, sir is calling you!"

  At this moment, a 28-year-old maid rushed in and panted to the young man on the couch.

  The young man opened his eyes, glanced at the maid who had run over, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He muttered to himself: "Xiao Si's figure is getting better and better, but unfortunately for this young master, my figure is so small, and my little brother is so useless!"

  Then he stood up and said: "Alright, I know!"

  Having said that, he walked towards the living room in front of him.

  It's been ten years since I traveled back to the Song Dynasty. Zhang Yu has also fully accepted his identity, accepted his parents, and become the real Ximen Qing.

  Zhang Yu knew that the dynasty he was in was the Song Dynasty, and it seemed to have already reached the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song. As for other things, they were unknowable. There was no way around it - who let Zhang Yu from his previous life be uneducated and ignorant of history? Now he was in a predicament, having become a time-traveling illiterate.

  Walking in the corridor, Ximen Qing smacked his lips and said: "Huizong? The good men from Water Margin are also in this era, I wonder what they look like now? If we meet them in the future, we must take them as younger brothers..."

  Ximen Qing's previous life was not learned or skilled, but he knew some Water Margin stories, so there were still some impressions in his mind. However, these impressions were too shallow and could almost be ignored.

  "Right, that old Taoist priest should be arriving soon too. It's been ten years, and when he comes, I'll have to make sure to extort him well..." Ximen Qing muttered to himself, and as he raised his head, he had already arrived at the living room.

  At this time, in the living room, Ximen Chui Xue was drinking fragrant tea and waiting for Ximen Qing. Ten years later, Ximen Chui Xue had already turned seventy, his hair had turned white, and his face was covered with wrinkles. However, despite all this, his body was still exceptionally robust, and he had never been ill before. This was naturally the effect of the Rejuvenating Elixir, which made Ximen Qing even more convinced that the old Taoist priest was a formidable person, worthy of being thoroughly exploited.

  "Father, have you returned from doing business?" Ximen Qing said with a smile, and then sat down in the wooden chair beside Ximen Chusheng.

  Since Ximen Qing was born, Ximen Chusheng's business has been getting bigger and bigger. The wealth accumulated so far can't be said to be rich enough to rival the country, but at least it can guarantee that the Ximen family will have no worries for ten generations. With more business, Ximen Chusheng is also working hard, fortunately, there is Huichundan to help, otherwise Ximen Chusheng's old bones really can't hold on.

  Looking at his own son, Ximen Chui Xue felt exceptionally happy. Leaving home for business was only ten days, but Ximen Chui Xue couldn't help but miss his son. It's not easy to have a child in old age, so Ximen Chui Xue cherished him extremely, and wished he could do everything with this son by his side.

  Ximen Chuixue said: "Back again, Qing'er, how was your class?"

  "Still the same, ah, Father, I'm just not cut out for studying, so you'd better not force me to take the imperial exam anymore, that's too difficult! And Father, you shouldn't do business either, you're already so old, it's time to stay at home and enjoy yourself. The family business will naturally be taken care of by others, just staying at home and collecting the money is fine, isn't it?"

  Ximen Qing's words made Ximen Chaoxue both annoyed and delighted.

  He was annoyed that his own son was not cut out for studying, and didn't even have the brains for business, all he knew how to do was loaf around the streets, practice boxing and train his body. He had originally been hoping that his son would pass the imperial examination with honors and bring glory to their family, but now it seemed almost impossible. After being annoyed, Ximen Qing then felt joyful. What brought him joy was naturally that his own son cared about him.

  Ximen nodded and said, "Alright, let's listen to Qing'er's words. We won't do business anymore. From now on, I'll stay at home and accompany you, your mother, and the concubines. Qing'er, you don't have the talent to become a top scholar or a successful businessman, so I won't force you to be something you're not. I just hope you can be a good person and live an ordinary life. Although our Ximen family doesn't have much power, we do have enough money for you to spend."

  After finishing speaking, Ximen Chuixue couldn't help but think of a phrase that an old Taoist priest had said ten years ago.

  "Your son is no ordinary person, his future achievements will be beyond words. The Great Song Dynasty is gradually declining, and your child is the hope for its resurgence!"

  Every time he thought of this sentence, Ximen Chui Xue's heart couldn't calm down.
