System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Outside Taoyuan Immortal Palace

Dong Yu, Dian Wei and Guo Jia walked out of the fog.

"Master, let's not bring the mistress and the others out, okay?"

Dian Wei looked back at the foggy valley and asked timidly.

"Don't bring women with you when you go out to play."

"They are so weak and fragile, they are too much of a hindrance."

Dong Yu shook his head and smiled.

"We've saved quite a bit of fruit this time, which should be enough for us to travel around for several years."

Guo Jia waved his folding fan in a showy manner and laughed.

This was not the first time they had come out. In the past, they would only play for a year or two and then have to go back.

Later, they felt that it was not enough, so they agreed to save more and then go out and have a good time.

“I don’t even know what year it is now.”

"Is my Ying'er still here?"

Dong Yu looked up at the sun and said helplessly.

I don’t know how many years have passed in the mountains.

I only know that the fruit tree ripened more than ten times.

After descending Mang Mountain, Dong Yu and others went all the way to Luoyang City.

This really scared the three of them.

"It seems like it's been a long time since such prosperity."

Guo Jia waved his fan and looked around the bustling Luoyang City.

Pavilions, towers, and bustling traffic.

"It seems that Luoyang has expanded a bit."

Dong Yu said with a smile.

"Hey, why is that thing darker than me?"

At this time, Dian Wei pointed at a man carrying a black thing on his shoulders and back and said.

"What the hell, black people?"

“And white people!”

Dong Yu exclaimed.

"What black and white?"

Guo Jia looked over with some curiosity.

Upon closer inspection, I indeed discovered that there were quite a few people on the streets who were clearly different from the Han people.

"Man, who are these people?"

Dong Yu stopped a passerby and pointed at those weird people and asked.

"Black and white slaves."

"These guys are tough and can do the dirty work."

"Many businessmen are willing to buy these slaves from the west. They are cheap and hardy."

The passerby explained with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid these people will cause trouble?"

Guo Jia looked at this group of people and asked in confusion.

"What are you afraid of?"

"They're all pickled. More than a decade ago, a few princes led their troops to overthrow the western region. They thought these slaves were useful, so they sent some back."

"You are from outside the country, right?"

"This kind of thing has already spread all over the capital."

Passersby looked at the three people suspiciously.

"Uh... hehe, yes, I'm from another place."

Dong Yu nodded awkwardly.

After saying goodbye to the passersby, the three of them found a restaurant, ordered some side dishes and a pot of wine.

"It seems that the changes are really big."

"Just now, the passerby said that several princes turned the west side upside down. Could it be your son, Master?"

Guo Jia stroked his beard and looked at Dong Yu with curiosity.

"probably."

"I have also been living in the Immortal Palace and know as much as you do."

Dong Yu shook his head in confusion, then greeted the waiter in the store.

After dinner, the three of them headed towards the palace.

They must find out what the current situation is and where there are fun things to do.

With the token, the three of them were able to enter the palace unimpeded.

imperial study room

Dong Ying, who is nearly fifty years old, rubbed his eyes.

"If you don't know, you might think I'm yours..."

Dong Ying looked at Dong Yu and said helplessly.

"My what?"

"Say it out loud!"

Dong Yu frowned and glared at his son.

"Uh..."

"Father, where are you planning to go this time?"

Dong Ying's expression froze and she asked quickly.

"Recommend a place."

Dong Yu didn't know where to go, so he asked.

"Yangzhou, now Yangzhou is no longer as depressed as before."

"Seven years ago, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang proposed opening up canals across the country. Now, you can take a boat directly to Yangzhou."

Dong Ying thought for a moment and then told him the place she had always wanted to go but didn't dare to go.

The emperor's travels were very expensive.

Although Dong Ying did not like being an emperor, he hoped to be a thoroughly good emperor.

Therefore, I never dare to travel casually.

"Zhuge Liang became prime minister?"

"What about Xun Yu?"

Dong Yu looked at Dong Ying and asked about Xun Yu.

"Mr. Xun passed away three years ago."

"In recognition of his contributions to Daqian, I posthumously confer the title of Duke of Wei on him."

"By the way, Father, in a few years, I plan to abdicate."

"Next time you go out, you might see Qi'er."

Dong Ying said with emotion.

Hearing this, Dong Yu felt a pang of sadness. Looking at his son who already had many white hairs, his heart was filled with emotion.

"You really don't want to go with your father?"

Looking at his son, Dong Yu couldn't help but ask again.

"No, I don't want to be like you, feeling like I'm in another world every time I come out."

"And...and my first wife is gone, and I don't want her to wait for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."

Dong Ying shook her head and said firmly.

"Jiyue... is younger than you, why did she leave?"

Dong Yu thought of his gentle and well-behaved daughter-in-law and asked in disbelief.

"He died of illness."

"After Xun Gong died, Ji Yue was extremely sad. Add to that the illness she had contracted when she gave birth to her fourth child, and she passed away."

Dong Ying covered her forehead and said with a sad look.

"Ugh."

"Don't be too sad."

"If you figure it out, come to Beimang Immortal Palace."

"I am leaving."

Dong Yu shook his head and turned away.

"Father!"

"I'm afraid I'll never see my father again. Please... take care!"

Dong Ying chased for two steps, then knelt down in front of Dong Yu and shouted with tears in her eyes.

"Take care of yourself too."

Dong Yu gritted his teeth, raised his head and didn't dare to look back.

What is the meaning of longevity?

When Dong Yu saw his son, who had already given birth to white hair, he couldn't help but ask himself.

For the first time, Dong Yu felt skeptical about the system's rewards.

In the past, every reward from the system was extremely beneficial.

But this time he doubted...

When loved ones pass away one by one, when friends are buried one by one.

The suffering of longevity seemed to finally begin to unfold.

This was also the reason why Dong Yu took Guo Jia and others to the Immortal Palace at that time.

He was afraid that one day his connection with this world would completely disappear.

Leaving the Palace

Dong Yu did not go to Yangzhou as Dong Ying said.

“They’re all dead.”

"Xun You, Du Xi, Cui Yan, Jia Xu and others..."

"They're all dead. Lao Xu is dead too. His son is a idiot. My son is a fucking idiot too."

"My son is fine. I heard he's now the governor of Yangzhou. He's such an honest official. I never thought of that."

Dong Yu stood in front of a grave, listening to the responses of Guo Jia and Dian Wei.

"Are you happy and long-lived?"

Dong Yu looked at the words "Zhang Xiu's Tomb" written on the tombstone and couldn't help asking.

“Most of the time I’m happy.”

"The only thing that's painful is hearing the news that these old friends have passed away one after another."

Guo Jia shook his folding fan and spoke.

"I'm fine, but I can't accept hearing that my son is a idiot."

Dian Wei said with a depressed look on his face.

"Since it's painful only when we hear this kind of news, let's not get involved in it."

"Let's go to Yangzhou and have fun."

Dong Yu grinned and spoke.

"Master, why do we live forever?"

"I don't know. Perhaps it's to prepare for the day when the world needs us to step forward... or perhaps it's to witness the dramatic changes in the world."

Dong Yu flicked his sleeves and strode forward.
