Free Web NovelChapter 1757: Chapter 1843: Impregnable Fortress
The structure of Sun Zhihao’s official system is also becoming clearer. Su Xuan has also introduced his team to Miaojiang to develop the economy and build new schools. The changes in Miaojiang have been evident to everyone.
Heroic Manor has become like a Guardian God to Miaojiang. With improved living conditions, the people have placed more trust in Heroic Manor than anything else. Heaven Sect initially intended to cause trouble for Heroic Manor but realized that Heroic Manor had become impregnable, as solid as a fortress.
Thanks to the connection with Bu Daming, Heroic Manor has also been linked to the Dragon Gate Inn in the desert, further enhancing the prowess of Heroic Manor as a whole.
Heaven Sect found itself stuck in the mire with a criminal gang and could not extricate itself. Even when Alliance Leader Zuo joined later, it was already too late to turn the tide.
Three months later!
Su Xuan and Bu Daming stood on the top floor of Heroic Manor, looking at the dramatic changes in Miaojiang. Bu Daming admiredly said,
"I never imagined that Miaojiang could change so drastically in such a short time. Brother, you have been indispensable in this!"
"Haha, it’s the result of everyone’s effort. Huaxia is taking off, and we help whenever we can."
This is the true reason why Su Xuan founded Heroic Manor. He wasn’t motivated by wealth but by a sense of purpose. Seeing the harmony, where the children of ordinary people could attend school, he felt a steady sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Mayor Sun has mentioned it to me several times, wanting to introduce his daughter to you!"
Bu Daming said with a mischievous grin.
"Ahem, don’t talk nonsense, she and I are just like brother and sister. However, you could try pursuing her; Sun Qianxun is a nice girl!"
"Uh... I could almost be her father!"
Bu Daming blushed and felt quite awkward.
"Haha..."
The two burst into hearty laughter.
"By the way, I might be leaving with Xue’er in a few days. I’ll leave this place to you guys. Heaven Sect is currently too preoccupied to deal with Heroic Manor, so there’s no need to worry. Your main focus should be on economic development."
"Leaving so soon!"
Bu Daming said reluctantly.
"Come on, it’s not soon. I planned to leave three months ago but stayed here forcefully for three months. My wife is about to give birth in two months, and do you know how long I’ve been here?"
Su Xuan calculated that he was already turning thirty, having come here at twenty-eight, and he had stayed in Miaojiang for two years. He had been an absentee manager for two years, and even though he attended conference calls during the last three months, he really felt a bit guilty!
"..."
Bu Daming scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, thinking how time seemed to have flown by.
Considering the time, Su Xuan had been here for two whole years.
"Are you really not taking Xuan away?"
"Taking her with me would only harm her. Take good care of Xuan; she is crucial for the stability of Miaojiang!"
In the past, Gu Poison in Miaojiang was misused, but now with the establishment of the Gu Poison family, anyone who practiced the Gu Technique must abide by the rules.
"Sigh... it’s a pity, alright, don’t worry, I will take good care of her!"
Another week passed, and Su Xuan was ready to leave Miaojiang this time. This trip to Miaojiang had lasted too long.
On the day Su Xuan left, Xuan stood on the highest floor of Heroic Manor, watching Su Xuan leave, standing there for a full three hours before coming down.
"Big Brother Su, although in this life we are fated but not destined, Xuan wishes that in another life, we could have a good relationship!"
On the train, Su Xuan read the message Xuan had sent him, and his heart felt truly uneasy, realizing that the emotional debts he had amassed were not trifling.
"Aren’t you going to reply?"
Mengxue, taking Su Xuan’s phone, softly said.
"Um... better not!"
Su Xuan replied weakly, but Mengxue helped him send a reply nonetheless.
"If there is a next life, I will not let you down!"
These eight concise characters made Xuan burst into tears upon reading them, yet also filled her with deep satisfaction.
"Aren’t you making it harder for her?"
Su Xuan gently asked.
"Silly brother, whether there’s another life, I don’t know, but in this life, you and Xuan are already impossible. Are you unwilling to even give her that faint hope of another life?"
"Sigh..."
Su Xuan sighed with a sense of helplessness. He felt he had let down several women in his life: Akihime, who died for him; the Fragrant Concubine, who might remain in the desert for a lifetime; and Xuan, who might never marry.
Looking at Mengxue, whose belly had grown quite large, Su Xuan felt a surge of impending fatherhood joy. With only two months left until Mengxue gave birth, Su Xuan’s parents had called countless times, and this time they even issued an ultimatum, saying if he didn’t return, they would come directly.
"Husband, I’m a bit nervous about meeting your parents!"
Mengxue softly said.
"Silly, what’s there to be nervous about? It’s just an in-law meeting, and you’re not even a disliked daughter-in-law. Don’t worry, my mom always praises your beauty when she calls!"
Su Xuan teased with a grin.
"Really?"
Mengxue asked excitedly. Even though Mengxue was indeed very beautiful, meeting her husband’s parents for the first time made her nervous.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Don’t be nervous, get some rest!"
Su Xuan smiled gently. This time, he was heading straight for Subei, where his parents were eagerly waiting for a grandchild. So he bought a train ticket back to Subei, which was quite a distance from Miaojiang, requiring an entire day and night on the train.
After Mengxue fell asleep, Su Xuan stepped out from the compartment, watching the scenery pass by, feeling nostalgic. Time had flown by; it seemed like just yesterday when he brought Mengxue to Miaojiang for treatment, yet it was already two years ago.
In no time, he would be celebrating his thirtieth birthday. Lighting a cigarette, Su Xuan exhaled a smoke ring, gazing at the receding Miaojiang with mixed emotions.
The journey to Miaojiang was truly significant for Su Xuan. While the changes weren’t solely his doing, he played a big part.
Through these events, Su Xuan realized that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Heaven granted him power, and he must live up to this gift.
Miaojiang was the true starting point of his career. Before, he pursued business for money, but now he had accumulated enough for several lifetimes. Su Xuan now sought to give back to society.
And giving back isn’t about just donating money; it’s about teaching people to fish rather than just giving them fish, which is most important.
