Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Congratulations from a Hundred Generals (2nd Update)
This sentence shocked many who had previously looked down upon the situation.

Wei Rulan, who was in the distance, was even more startled and muttered to herself, “To contain the great Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, I always thought such a thing was but a legend, never did I imagine it truly existed!”

When many people learned from others about the miraculous and precious nature of this ring, they all looked at An Yan with extremely envious eyes.

Especially the girls, who were nearly driven mad with envy.

The considerateness and gentleness, the domineering and wealth, the handsomeness and strength of Xue An—all these made the young ladies envious.

An Yan stood up with the support of Xue An and naturally hooked her arm into his, walking out together.

Xue Xiang and Xue Nian followed closely behind; the two little girls were also dressed in finely made children’s formal wear today.

This family walking together drew countless envious and amazed gazes.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall,

the atmosphere reached its climax.

Chen Xiuhe and many others all stood up to greet the newlyweds.

Xue Anchong nodded slightly to the crowd.

Just at that moment, a hearty laughter was heard from outside.

“Congratulations to General Xue!”

General Xue?

What kind of title was this? Many were puzzled.

Suddenly, a great crowd of people filed in from the door.

The arrival of this group stunned everyone present.

That’s because most of the newcomers were generals, and the number was so great it seemed as though all the generals of Zhongdu had come.

Someone said in a trembling voice, “A hundred generals come to congratulate!”

Many people were shaken inside.

In Huaguo, there was a legend that if a wedding was congratulated by a hundred generals, the couple would be blessed with eternal happiness.

Of course, most often this was taken merely as a legend.

After all, who could invite a hundred generals to their wedding?

But today, Xue An had done just that.

Leading them was none other than General Yang.

He approached with a smile, took Xue An’s hand, and said, “General Xue, I was slightly delayed on the road and ended up late!”

A faint smile appeared on Xue An’s lips, and then he glanced at Chen Xiuhe standing proudly to the side, knowing for certain that this was his doing.

Although Xue An was not particularly impressed by the idea of a hundred generals giving their congratulations,

since they had come, and also provided such a splendid surprise, he had to consider giving some face.

Therefore, he nodded with a smile, “Thank you to all the generals for coming!”

“Don’t mention it, General Xue, after all, we are colleagues. You are getting married, and naturally, we ought to come here and share a toast!” Yang laughed heartily.

Many couldn’t hold back any longer.

Colleagues?

And addressing him repeatedly as General Xue!

What in the world was going on?

At this time, General Yang noticed the puzzled looks around him and smiled slightly, “Perhaps everyone is not aware! General Xue was in fact personally promoted to the rank of Vermilion Bird Major General by Great General Lin, and after some deliberation, we felt General Xue’s merits were numerous, so we decided to promote General Xue to the rank of Lieutenant General!”

Boom!

The entire hall was stunned.

Lieutenant General?

This was a truly high military rank in Huaguo!

Only a rank below Great General and First Class General!

At this point, countless envious gazes focused on Xue An.

Xue An merely smiled slightly and nodded, “Thank you to all the generals for your kindness!”

General Yang chuckled, “You’re being too polite, General Xue! With your achievements, this is truly well-deserved!”

Saying so, he personally took out the medal of a Lieutenant General and pinned it onto Xue An’s chest.

Then came the time for revelry.

More guests had arrived today than anticipated.

But Chen Xiuhe had come prepared.

He had already booked the entire kitchen staff from Zhongdu’s most renowned restaurants in advance,

and now several chef teams were busily working behind the scenes.

Dish after dish was served like flowing water.

Xue An and the guests naturally had to partake in this meal before they could take An Yan home.

According to the customs of Huaguo, the groom today must finish the drink, no matter who comes to toast.

Many people came just to see the joke that was Xue An.

Chen Xiuhe had also found several heavy drinkers ready to replace Xue An at any moment.

But unexpectedly, Xue An downed his drinks as they came, without any reluctance.

He quickly laid out a swath of people.

And when others came along, unconvinced, Xue An simply stopped pouring wine and started drinking from the bottles directly.

And that was 53-degree Maotai!

But Xue An drank it as if it were water, polishing off ten bottles.

That shocked everyone present.

No one dared to challenge him after that,

and Xue An showed no signs of drunkenness.

He even managed to get these generals drunk in the process.

Towards the end, General Yang’s tongue even started to thicken, as he clung to Xue An and began to spout nonsense.

“General Xue, those materials you provided to our country last time…they’ve been a huge help…hmm…”

Xue An smiled and had Qin Yu distribute a red envelope to each general.

“What’s this?” someone asked in amazement.

Xue An said indifferently, “The cultivation technique I gave you last time will encounter a bottleneck in the later stages; use this Spirit Stone to help break through when the time comes!”

This revelation sobered the generals up, and greed flashed in their eyes.

“General Xue, do you have any more?” General Yang asked eagerly.

Xue An smiled, “I have plenty of these, but there’s no time to get them out now!”

With that, Xue An stood up, picked up a glass of wine, and nodded to everyone in the room, “You’ve all come here to congratulate me; I toast to all of you!”

With that, Xue An drank it all.

The crowd applauded and cheered.

Xue An smiled and then leaned down to say to An Yan, “Let’s go, it’s time to head home!”

An Yan obediently stood up.

Everyone automatically cleared a path.

An Yan and Xue An left hand in hand.

An Qing followed behind with tears in her eyes, happy that her sister had finally found her lifelong happiness and destiny.

Her heart was naturally full of joy.

The group heading to Beijiang was not small.

Besides An Qing, who was certain to go, Chen Xiuhe, Chen Rushi, Wei Ruyan, Wei Rulan, and General Yang, among others, were all going to see them off.

Once everyone had boarded the plane, they left Zhongdu amidst the envious gazes of onlookers, flying toward Beijiang.

It wasn’t until the plane was out of sight that someone exclaimed, “This wedding was truly unparalleled in the world!”

Afterward, the group dispersed.

The girls who had been accompanying An Yan also returned to their homes.

One of them, once home, started excitedly talking about the day’s events.

“Did you get a red envelope this time?”

It was only after her family asked her that she suddenly remembered the red envelope from Xue An and quickly took it out.

“I wonder what kind of red envelope Mr. Xue would give?”

“I bet it’s gold! Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so bulging!”

But upon opening it, they found a glittering and translucent piece of jade.

“What is this?” the family wondered.

As the phone rang, the Family Head answered, and his expression gradually turned serious.

“Yes! Yes! I will definitely hand it over to the nation!”

After hanging up the phone, someone asked, “What’s going on?”

The Family Head gave a wry smile and then reluctantly glanced at the piece of jade.

“That was the military on the line; this piece of jade is a national treasure, and they want us to hand it over to the state!”

“How can that be? We got it…”

“It’s not for nothing; they will give our family ample compensation!”

No one spoke further.

All of them just silently looked at the piece of jade.

The girl suddenly felt a regret; if she had asked for one more red envelope at the time, how wonderful that would have been!
