Chapter 1682: Chapter 1768: No Regrets
"Haha, Sister Fragrant Concubine, you’re older and smarter than me, but when it comes to feelings, if you truly like someone, I think you should boldly express it. Did you just hear? Bu Daming has found a way out, we might be leaving soon!"
Luo Tianyi gazed into the distance, a faint smile at the corner of her lips.
When Fragrant Concubine heard this, she felt a pang in her heart and suddenly felt an emptiness. She knew Su Xuan would eventually leave; that guy was never someone who could stay in one place, especially a place like the Great Desert, which he didn’t like at all.
At the thought of parting ways with Su Xuan, a strange feeling arose in her heart—a kind of unease, though she couldn’t pinpoint why.
"Big Brother Su has many women; I’m not the first, nor will I be the last!"
Watching Su Xuan, who was excitedly jumping around like a child in the desert, Luo Tianyi wore a joyful smile on her face. Though she knew she could never have all of Su Xuan, she felt no regret.
"And you still want to stay with him!"
Looking at Luo Tianyi, in that moment, Fragrant Concubine truly didn’t understand how this girl thought. Even though Luo Tianyi came from a great family, was beautiful and kind-hearted, her suitors probably lined up in a long queue.
"One life, one love is beautiful, but I can’t help but love this silly brother. Whether shameless or not, at least I’m willing to follow my heart, Sister Fragrant Concubine. Life is only a few decades long, and while I don’t wish Big Brother Su had another beautiful woman like you by his side, I cherish our sisterly bond, and I don’t want you to live with regret!"
As Luo Tianyi spoke, she turned around and dashed toward Su Xuan. Seeing Su Xuan happy made her even happier, because her emotions were intertwined with his.
"Tianyi, great news, we can leave! Haha..."
Su Xuan lifted Luo Tianyi up, spinning in a circle in the desert, their laughter like silver bells ringing.
"That’s great, I’ve grown tired of staying in this desert!"
Luo Tianyi stuck out her tongue and said adorably.
On the city wall, watching Luo Tianyi and Su Xuan below, Fragrant Concubine’s mind was filled with Luo Tianyi’s words. Her heart was a whirl of emotions; Luo Tianyi’s meaning was simple: if she liked Su Xuan, she should express it, because getting Su Xuan to actively confess to a girl might be difficult due to the number of women around him.
"As I live, you are yet to be born; as I am born, you are already old. Brother Su, we are not destined in this life, but if there’s a next life, would you wait for Xuan?"
At this moment, Xuan watched Su Xuan from not far away, her eyes slightly red. The past three months had been the happiest for her, because she could see Su Xuan every day, and she felt very blessed. However, Xuan knew clearly that once they could leave here, she and Su Xuan would walk entirely different paths.
Su Xuan was a hero in the Martial World, with no place he could linger for long, while she had to shoulder the family’s mission. Of course, she had to help Su Xuan rescue Xue Mengxue.
A stream of crystal-clear tears flowed out, vanishing with the desert wind. The tears of a beauty can break a heart; the saying goes, "A glimpse of Su Xuan ruins a lifetime." Su Xuan accomplished much for others, but also disappointed many—who could say for sure?
"Bu Daming, I really like you. Damn it, if I don’t get out of here soon, I’ll become one with the desert. When can we leave!"
Su Xuan hurriedly said, thinking about being disconnected from the outside world for so long and wondering what might have changed in Miaojiang. He initially planned to return home for the New Year, but unexpectedly got delayed here, surprising even Su Xuan.
In truth, he couldn’t stay here because he was worried. His phone used to be ringing all day long, and now he’d been cut off from the world for nearly half a year. Frankly, Su Xuan couldn’t guess what might have happened outside, which was something he dared not think too much about.
Miaojiang wasn’t peaceful to start with, so Su Xuan was still worried about any changes outside. Knowing they could leave, he was naturally very happy.
"The soonest will be tomorrow night. Brother, we’re traveling far, proper preparation is needed. Although the windy season is over, it doesn’t mean the desert lacks dangers!"
"Well, alright, go prepare then, but do it quickly!"
Su Xuan was impatient, already eager to set sail and ride the waves.
"Hey, brother, can I discuss something with you?"
Bu Daming suddenly said with a mischievous smile.
"You want me to be your matchmaker, don’t you?"
Su Xuan said with a smirk.
"Damn it... can you stop trying to introduce me to women all the time? I don’t like women! Oh, seeing Fragrant Concubine ruins a lifetime!"
Bu Daming said, full of emotion.
"Damn, what’s the big deal, what do you want to discuss then?"
Su Xuan asked curiously.
"Well, I was thinking, after we leave, can I tag along with you? I heard from Brother Meng that you’re actually the Manor Master of Heroic Manor. Is there a job for me, even washing dishes will do!"
Bu Daming replied with a smile.
"Uh... that would be too humble for you. Now, I’ve got shares in Dragon Gate Inn, and many businesses will be linked with Heroic Manor going forward, so you just help me manage that!"
Su Xuan had intended for Bu Daming to assist him; the guy had a sharp mind and, more importantly, was familiar with the desert. Now that the businesses here were mostly set up by Su Xuan anyway.
Initially uninterested in the business here, being stuck in the desert was so dull, he ended up researching entertainment facilities together with Blade Emperor and Sword Saint, opposite of the usual bloodiness.
So Su Xuan planned to invest billions into high-end entertainment facilities here, an idea supported unanimously by Blade Emperor and Sword Saint.
"Can I handle it?"
In an instant, he felt a lot of pressure, knowing the project’s scale meant billions in investment, which was an enormous venture.
"Of course you can, I’m counting on you!" Su Xuan shrugged his nose and said with a smile.
"Brother, can I come with you?"
