After the annual ritual of worship was over, the Medicine Sect began their liveliest day of the year.
Everyone came together, with fine food and wine served, chatting about everything under the sun and exchanging New Year greetings.
At Ye Chenghong's table, there were a dozen people sitting around lavishly.
Four of the Medicine Sect's Elders, Ye Chenghong's junior apprentice brother Nie Shan, and several other close disciples of the Elders were there.
Even though An Yiqing had been away from the Medicine Sect for a long time, her relationship with these senior brothers remained very warm.
"Senior brothers, in the new year, you guys should hurry up and find yourselves wives. Otherwise, our Uncles who are Elders will soon be worrying their beards white," An Yiqing said with a playful twinkle in her eye, raising her cup for a toast.
The teased Elders and several senior brothers shook their heads helplessly, feeling very affectionate towards this smart and adorable girl.
