Chapter 208 - 204: Seven Points
Year-end festivities had arrived, and Chi Xiao City grew even livelier, with every household adorning their homes with lanterns and festive decorations.
Even cultivators paused their pursuits to celebrate in their own way.
The city nights were even more bustling than the days, illuminated brightly with countless lights. Every street and alley was filled with the essence of the festivities, and all major shops and taverns were packed to the brim.
Especially during this time of year, Sword Cultivators from various parts of Da Li would gather in Chi Xiao City, adding yet another layer of excitement to the atmosphere.
Li Fan, after finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner at the inn, decided to step out with Lu Yuan, Yue Qingqiu, and the others.
*In past years, he had always spent this time with his senior sister, Old Blind Man. This year, being in the company of Lu Yuan and others, he at least had some Li Mountain disciples by his side, which made his mood slightly more comfortable.*
Old Blind Man had already accepted Huang Xiong as a disciple on behalf of Uncle Master Xing Feng, which naturally made Huang Xiong a fellow disciple.
"Why do humans celebrate the New Year?" Yue Qingqiu asked softly as she observed the lively streets.
Occasionally, passersby cast glances toward their group. Their presence was too eye-catching; women as beautiful as Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu were rare even in Chi Xiao City. Meanwhile, Li Fan carried himself with an extraordinary aura, standing tall and graceful like a jade tree swaying in the wind.
"I’m not entirely sure. Perhaps it’s because cultivators spend so much of the year traveling, and the New Year is seen as a chance for wanderers to return home and reunite with their families," Li Fan replied softly.
"Family..." Yue Qingqiu murmured quietly. She didn’t have a family, just as Li Fan appeared to have none.
