Chapter 2289: Chapter 2290: Welcome Ceremony (First Update)
At the same time, within the Yue Clan, another person was also saying similar words with a face full of joy.
"Junze, well done!"
The speaker was Yue Junze’s father, Yue Hechang.
He was seen pacing around the room excitedly, suddenly stopping, and softly asked, "Does the Family Head know the news yet?"
"Should be aware by now!" the servant replied.
"I can’t let it be. I must personally go see the Family Head. The soldiers who went on the expedition will soon return, and we should express something for that!"
With that, Yue Hechang left in high spirits.
Upon arriving at the flower hall in the backyard, the second young lady had just left.
Yue Hechang bowed and saluted, "Family Head!"
Yue Shifang wasn’t at all surprised by Yue Hechang’s arrival and smiled slightly, "I guessed you would come. They indeed did well this time. You may host a welcoming ceremony for their triumphant return in my stead, to boost everyone’s morale!"
Yue Hechang was overjoyed, "Yes!"
Soon, this proposal spread throughout the Yue Clan.
No one raised even the slightest objection, and they immediately started preparing for the welcoming ceremony.
It must be said that it had been a long time since the Yue Clan had such a lively atmosphere, so people were overjoyed, eager to decorate the entire Yue Clan headquarters with lanterns and banners.
And just as the entire Yue Clan was busily preparing the welcoming ceremony, Xue An was leading the soldiers and the Jing Family convoy, returning grandly to headquarters.
Wherever they passed, whether passing merchants or the stationed soldiers of each Branch Vein, all showed them enough respect.
The reason was none other than Xue An leading the Yue Clan soldiers and eradicating all the pirates on the trade routes in just a month.
Since then, in the vast void within tens of billions of miles around the Yue Clan’s Branch Veins, there wasn’t a single pirate left.
And yet, there hadn’t been a single casualty among the Yue Clan soldiers.
This kind of military achievement was awe-inspiring.
Witnessing this, the members of the Jing Family convoy were quite proud and felt a great sense of prestige.
Even Yue Qinghuan and Yue Junze were delighted by this.
Only Xue An was nonchalant about it.
Because he knew very well that this was merely the beginning.
The real test would be at the Martial Arts Tournament.
But looking at the elite soldiers behind him, honed through blood and fire, exuding substantial Sha aura and an evident valor, Xue An had the confidence to tear apart any enemy daring to stand in the way.
Amidst the anticipation, Xue An and others finally returned to the headquarters of the Yue Clan.
As they stepped off the giant vessel of the convoy, countless fireworks shot skyward, lighting up the skies with brilliant colors.
The entire Yue Clan headquarters turned out en masse, offering the highest level of welcome to the returning Yue Clan soldiers.
Including Yue Junze, all the soldiers were amazed by this welcome ceremony.
Even Yue Qinghuan was somewhat overwhelmed looking at the colorful balloons in the sky.
At this moment, Yue Hechang approached with a smiling face.
"Commander-in-Chief, you have eliminated the pirates plaguing the trade routes, greatly enhancing the prestige of the Yue Clan. We have specially organized this grand triumphant ceremony for you! Please!"
Immediately, all eyes focused on Xue An at the forefront of the team.
Unlike last time, no one had any objection to Xue An’s appointment now, with all gazes filled with respect.
Xue An stood quietly, looking at the brightly decorated Yue Clan headquarters without saying a word.
The scene gradually quieted down, with the Yue Clan soldiers standing as still as a mountain, not even blinking.
The atmosphere became tense.
Many people’s expressions changed slightly, wondering why this victorious Commander-in-Chief remained silent.
Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the welcome ceremony?
At that moment, Xue An’s mouth gradually curled into a faint smile.
"You are quite considerate!"
With that, he stepped forward.
Seeing this, the atmosphere in the venue finally eased, and the heavy burdens weighing on many hearts dropped with a thud, their faces once again lighting up with smiles.
From the crowd, Yue Junze couldn’t help but marvel.
"Third Brother-in-law is amazing; when he doesn’t speak, people don’t even dare to make a noise. When will I ever reach such a level?"
Of course, he spoke quietly, not attracting anyone’s attention.
Only Jing Caihe beside him slightly glanced over, then looked towards Xue An in admiration from afar.
This white-clad youth... truly remarkable!
It’s essential to know that during this more than a month, she had also followed the army in their expeditions, and she was astounded by Xue An’s calmness, wisdom, and brilliant control of the battlefield.
Hence, she wasn’t surprised by the grandeur of the Yue Clan’s arrangements.
After all, the long-declined Yue Clan desperately needed a victory.
Shortly, everyone arrived at the venue.
But a minor episode occurred then.
Those in charge of the banquet at the Yue Clan invited the soldiers to sit, but none were willing, standing silently and looking toward Xue An.
Yue Hechang was deeply moved.
How long had it been since these elite soldiers, once arrogant and domineering, regarded anyone other than the God of War Yue Guannan and the Family Head?
Yet after Xue An took office, within a few days, there was a dramatic change.
Given the current performance of these soldiers, one could undoubtedly describe it as strict obedience to orders.
Thus, he couldn’t help but add a respectful tone, "Commander-in-Chief, the soldiers must be weary after their expedition. Should they take a seat now?"
Xue An glanced at the soldiers, smiling slightly, "Everyone sit down, you indeed worked hard on this journey, don’t hold back during this meal!"
Only after Xue An’s command did the soldiers relax, salute Xue An collectively, then sit down.
Even so, they remained orderly, exuding a palpable sense of pressure.
Yue Hechang and the numerous elders of the Yue Clan were overjoyed by this sight.
If this performance can continue, there’s a chance not only to maintain the current rankings at the Martial Arena but even to take a step further!
Therefore, the subsequent triumphant banquet was enjoyed with remarkable enthusiasm.
Many queued up to toast Xue An, especially the younger generation of the Yue Clan, seeing how Yue Junze had transformed after just one trip, earning parental praise. They couldn’t help but express their desire to train with the main force while toasting.
Xue An did not refuse anyone, and although these young ones might not go to the Martial Arena, letting them train along was beneficial.
This also helped increase the knowledge and strength of the Yue Clan’s younger generation.
The elders of the Yue Clan fully understood this and were therefore more grateful to Xue An.
Everyone stepped forward to toast, Xue An accepting each cup without decline.
In doing so, he won over a group of followers!
