Another New Year had arrived.
The Bai Mansion was bustling with a rare liveliness, and for once, Bai Yuan and Xiao Qiaoniang were able to spend the New Year together.
In this era, the holiday wasn't called the Spring Festival. It was simply known as New Year's Day.
To liven things up, Bai Yuan had specially invited Yang Fangyu and his family, as well as Li Ting, Ma Dingjun, Cheng Li, You Shengnan, and Xiongshan from the Divine Mansion Sect.
Yue Xiaobai was also among them.
After Shi Yan left, Yue Xiaobai had not followed him south, choosing instead to remain in Ling Province.
According to him, staying by Bai Yuan's side made it easier to condense his Sword Qi.
Bai Yuan was naturally happy for Yue Xiaobai to stay. Just as he had in the Capital City, he kept a room prepared for Yue Xiaobai in the Bai Mansion.
Inside, the group gathered and chatted idly.
The occasional CRACKLE-POP of firecrackers from outside filled the air with the festive spirit of the New Year.
