The next day,
before the crack of dawn, the sound of firecrackers filled the air.
In the past, there would have been impatient people who would have jumped out to scold them for being a nuisance and making so much noise.
However, today,
there was a joyous, happy atmosphere everywhere.
Even bad-tempered people had a bit more patience.
Xiao Ran opened the door and walked out.
Standing in the courtyard, he listened to the firecrackers around him and looked at the thick smoke rising up in spirals.
One corner of his mouth turned up in a smile.
"Is it starting already?"
He left the courtyard.
After having breakfast at the marketplace, he walked towards the Divine Sword Guards headquarters.
Once he arrived,
the Divine Sword Guards compound was similarly more light-hearted. Compared to the usual murderous and indifferent atmosphere, they were more lively.
Two red lanterns hung by the door.
