Tear up the ancestral genealogy, my family tree will be written from me onwards!
“Hahaha, this is great! Our entire army's positions have been elevated by one rank. We can truly be considered to have brought glory to our ancestors now!”
“Isn’t that right? I just spoke to my dad on the phone. Our Family’s genealogical record, passed down for twenty generations, has been burned. From now on, our Family’s record will start with me!”
“Good things make a person feel refreshed, but it’s a pity we can’t drink alcohol with the war approaching. Otherwise, we’d have to drink our fill today and not stop until we’re drunk!”
“Alright, alright, we still have more military merits to earn. Why drink alcohol? Tea will do as a substitute. We can drink until we’re full!”
…
The military camp was filled with boisterous noise.
The soldiers drank tea as a substitute for wine, clinking cups and discussing the specifics of their position promotions, often bursting into laughter.
The elevation of everyone’s position by one rank was an honor that made Jiang Qing’s many soldiers well-known, their reputations spreading throughout their hometowns.
Aside from Stone Victory and a few others who were already Martial Arts Prodigies, many of Jiang Qing’s twenty-something Centurions were ordinary people promoted from the new recruit camp. In the past, they were unknown and unnoticed.
Most of these people did not get into a Martial Arts University due to insufficient talent, so they joined the army to seize an opportunity. Their starting point was already a step behind others, and their potential was not high.
But following Jiang Qing, everyone’s position has now been elevated by one rank, their reputations have spread throughout their hometowns, bringing glory to their ancestors, and even more military merits await them in the future.
Since the military rank promotions were announced this afternoon, their hometowns had already sent congratulatory messages, celebrating their promotions.
Even more, some Family members directly tore up their Family’s genealogical record and started writing from this generation.
“Quiet down, quiet down, everyone listen to me!” In the lively atmosphere, a Centurion stood up and gestured for everyone to stop. The crowd immediately fell silent and watched him quietly.
“Everything we have today, whether it’s our current strength or the military ranks we’ve been granted, was given by the Husband.” The Centurion faced Jiang Qing and solemnly raised his cup.
“Husband, I toast you!” After speaking, the Centurion immediately drank the tea in his cup.
Jiang Qing smiled and raised his cup in response.
“Old Wang, you’re wrong. The Husband is no longer a Thousand-Man Commander. Now we should call him General or Marquis!”
“Exactly, exactly. What do you mean by calling him Husband? Now that you yourself are a Thousand-Man Commander, do you intend to be on equal footing with our General?”
The soldiers beside them laughed and teased him when they saw this scene.
“Ah, no, no.” The speaking Centurion lowered his head, his face flushed, and said awkwardly, “It slipped out, it slipped out. I’ll make amends with another cup.”
“Hahaha.”
Amidst the clamor, Jiang Qing and Xia Cang sat together, quietly drinking tea.
“Ding-a-ling…”
The phone vibrated, and Jiang Qing took out his phone from his waist.
It was a message from Su Yue. She was already waiting outside.
“Wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”
Jiang Qing left first, heading to the military camp gate to pick up Su Yue.
He walked to the military camp gate.
Besides Su Yue, Jiang Qing also saw a familiar figure.
Just as Su Yue said, this sister, with whom she had a very good relationship, was indeed someone Jiang Qing knew.
The school beauty of Yucai High School, Yu Shuxuan’s older sister, Yu Shuling.
Back when he was in Jiangcheng, Jiang Qing and Yu Shuling had met once when exploring the Purple Lightning Remains.
“Hello, Senior Sister.” Jiang Qing walked over and greeted Yu Shuling with a smile.
“Hello.” Yu Shuling’s words seemed a bit reserved; she didn’t even dare to call Jiang Qing ‘Junior Brother’.
The disparity in their statuses was too great now. Jiang Qing was a commanding General who had been conferred the title of Champion Marquis, while Yu Shuling was just an ordinary clerk in the logistics department. The immense difference in status made it difficult for her to act naturally in front of Jiang Qing.
Moreover, there was no old friendship between them to begin with. The only connection was that they both belonged to Jiangcheng, but Yu Shuling did not believe that this alone would allow her to get close to Jiang Qing.
“Oh.” Su Yue gently stroked the little green snake, and upon hearing their conversation, she smiled and said, “Jiang Qing, you really do know Senior Sister Shuling.”
“Yes.” Jiang Qing nodded and said, “We met once in Jiangcheng. Senior Sister Shuling and I both graduated from Yucai High School.”
“Then that truly is fate,” Su Yue said with a smile.
“It is quite a coincidence. I also didn’t expect to see Senior Sister Shuling here,” Jiang Qing said with a smile.
“Don’t chat here, let’s go inside. The celebration banquet is about to begin.”
Jiang Qing led the two into the military camp, chatting as they walked towards the celebration banquet location.
Most of the time, Jiang Qing and Su Yue were chatting, with Yu Shuling occasionally saying a word. With Jiang Qing there, she seemed much more reserved.
At this moment, Yu Shuling looked at Jiang Qing, who was talking with Su Yue in front, and felt that everything before her was like a dream, unreal.
When Yu Shuling first met Jiang Qing, she noticed that his Cultivation was far beyond that of previous students in Jiangcheng, with surging Qi and blood power contained within him.
From that moment, Yu Shuling began to pay attention to this junior who was one year younger than her.
During that period, Jiang Qing was brilliant, but he had not yet deviated from the actual situation in Jiangcheng.
But gradually, Jiang Qing became more and more terrifying. First, he took the title of Martial Arts Champion of Jiangzhe Province with an extraordinary performance, then he created an unbreakable historical record upon entering Demon Suppression Pass, and he even single-handedly blocked the descent of the evil god’s incarnation…
Until now, when Yu Shuling first saw Jiang Qing, she instinctively used her Innate Spiritual Eye talent, but she could no longer detect any abnormalities in Jiang Qing.
In her Innate Spiritual Eye, Jiang Qing seemed like an ordinary person; his Cultivation and aura were completely hidden and could not be seen through.
Jiang Qing obviously could not be an ordinary person with no Cultivation. There was only one explanation for this situation: Jiang Qing’s Cultivation was already beyond what her Spiritual Eye could see through.
The gap between them was too vast, causing her Innate talent to become ineffective…
Thinking of this, Yu Shuling’s eyes held a complex and hard-to-read expression.
Jiang Qing led the two to the celebration banquet location.
“Hello, Senior Sister.”
Xia Cang greeted Yu Shuling.
“Hello,” Yu Shuling replied.
“General Su!”
Upon seeing Su Yue arrive, many Husbands quickly stood up and greeted her.
These Husbands had already become familiar with Su Yue during their time at Demon Suppression Pass, knowing that she was one of the people closest to Jiang Qing, and her powerful strength earned her great respect from these Husbands.
“Please sit down,” Su Yue responded with a smile.
As everyone took their seats, the celebration banquet officially began.
A celebration banquet for being conferred the Champion Marquis title would normally be a grand affair, with the entire army celebrating for three days to show its solemnity.
However, with the war imminent, everything was kept simple. Jiang Qing did not indulge in extravagance, holding only a small celebration banquet with his subordinate soldiers, without inviting anyone else.
But even so, when the celebration banquet began, many Advanced generals sent orderlies to congratulate him and present gifts celebrating Jiang Qing’s conferment as Champion Marquis.
The two Human Race Martial Saints also sent gifts to congratulate Jiang Qing. These were texts of will written with their Martial Saint essence Qi, which would aid in daily Cultivation and comprehending Martial Arts, making them extremely valuable.
