Chapter 1414: Chapter 1401: A Daughter is Enough for Everything, the Best Groom Candidate_1 Chapter 1414: Chapter 1401: A Daughter is Enough for Everything, the Best Groom Candidate_1 Ten years of hard work, no complaints made.
The two, having completed their hefty tasks, were called back to Capital City. The lads who once shone with youthful vigor had grown into refined and mature men.
Both men, unmindful of life's diversions, remained unmarried, without children.
Upon their return to Liyang and based on their merits, they received a three-rank promotion. Overnight, they became popular figures, unsurprisingly considered the most eligible grooms by the well-born ladies.
The Su House's front door was filled constantly with a stream of matchmakers, nearly wearing out the threshold.
The Su Clan became the toast of Capital City, with all the locals eagerly discussing their affairs.
Much deliberation went into deciding what kind of remarkable, well-bred women would catch the eyes of these young nobles to become the Su family's daughters-in-law.
Perhaps by cosmic design, not long after Su Zixuan returned to Capital City, Lin Qingluo's spirit encountered a century of change inside the Orb, eventually fusing successfully with the Lotus of Eternal Life to forge an Indestructible Divine Body.
When she emerged from Spirit Lake and appeared before her loved ones, everyone was overcome with joy, shedding tears.
Ye Xue'e and Li Xiu'e, the two mothers, embraced their beloved daughter, crying uncontrollably.
The Lin Clan brothers and the Su siblings too could not contain their emotions, shedding tears on the spot.
Having a daughter to dote on, Su Hu and his wife put off the matchmaking for their son.
This delay lasted another two years.
Finally, in his prime, Su Zixuan found his destined woman and sealed their beautiful union.

Su House.
The news of the joyous occasion drew a constant stream of guests bearing congratulations.
Carriages full of gifts lined up from the front gate of the Su House to the alley entrance, turning several corners and still seeming endless.
The small courtyard of the Su House was packed; people rubbing shoulders, struggling to move.
Opportunities to befriend the rising nobility were rare, so none who had connections with Su Zixuan missed this chance.
“Ha ha ha, Zixuan, considering your rank, your current residence seems a bit small,” Xu Wei joked as he entered the house, attracting attention with his loud bachelor's voice.
“Brother Xu, please come have tea in the living room,” invited Su Zixuan.
As Minister of the Ministry of Public Works, Su Zixuan had to respect Xu Wei, his direct superior.
Hearing Xu Wei's laughter, Su Zixuan didn't dare to delay and personally came out to welcome him.
“Zixuan, I just heard news yesterday that Minister Li from Hanlin Academy wants to retire because of his old age. He's selling his house,” whispered Xu Wei, hiding his face behind his fan.
“It's close to the Imperial Palace and bigger than yours. If you're interested, you should act fast. Many eyes are watching it.”
“Being close to the Imperial Palace, the sale price must be steep,” mused Su Zixuan, somewhat hesitant. “It's at least three times the current price of my house.”
“Price is not the issue,” assured Xu Wei. With a mischievous smile, he added, “If you want it, I can negotiate. He owes me a favour; it's high time he repays it, with interest.”
“That… doesn't sound very good,” responded Su Zixuan, brow creased, expressing his discomfort.
By accepting, wouldn't he be indebted to Xu Wei? What if Xu Wei demanded repayment with interest one day?
“What's not good about it?” Xu Wei didn't notice his slight hesitation and laughingly replied, “We both serve in the Ministry of Public Works. It's only right we help each other out.”
