Two days later.
New Year's Eve.
Nomads and farmers celebrated New Year's Eve the same way. On this day, the entire Zhongjing City was decorated with lanterns and banners. It was a festive day.
People posted couplets, set off firecrackers, hung red lanterns, and even learned to dance lions. Although the dance was awkward, it looked special.
As a big family in Zhongjing City, the Han Family was naturally more solemn and festive. In order to wash away the bad luck of the previous two days, the Han Family worked harder this year. They pasted red paper on all the walls and hung rainbows everywhere.
On this day, the Han Family was busy because the servants were allowed to go home for the New Year, so there were fewer people. Even the people in the family were busy. Although they were tired, they felt like they were celebrating the New Year.
After two days of rest, Lu An's body recovered a lot. At least, he no longer felt pain when he moved. Seeing Lu An alive and kicking, the doctors who treated Lu An were surprised.
Was this kid a monster? How could his body be so strong?
Lu An, who could move freely, was also busy in the Han Family. Because he used to be a slave, he was very discerning and could tell at a glance where help was needed and where there was no one to do it. With Lu An's help, everyone felt a lot more convenient.
Han Zhengsheng stood outside the main hall and looked at the people in the courtyard hurriedly moving things back and forth. Then he looked at the busy Lu An and suddenly sighed in his heart.
This young man was not arrogant or arrogant, and he was so talented. If only he was my son.
With such a child, I don't have to worry about the Han Family's business.
At this time, Han Ya happened to pass by in front of Han Zhengshen. Suddenly, he was startled and immediately called out, "Little Ya!"
Han Ya stopped and came to her father's side. She asked in confusion, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"This …" Han Zhengsheng hesitated and didn't know what to say. On the other hand, Han Ya looked at her father strangely, not knowing what he was going to say.
"Ahem." Han Zhengshen coughed twice and then pretended to be serious and said, "Little Ya, what do you think of Lu An?"
"Lu An?" Han Ya was startled when she heard this. She turned to look at the young man who was busy in the courtyard and said, "He has a good personality and is pragmatic. His cultivation talent is unprecedented. What's wrong?"
"Then …" Han Zhengshen looked a little embarrassed and asked tentatively, "Do you like him?"
Han Ya was startled when she heard this. She immediately understood what her father was thinking. She frowned and was immediately displeased.
"I like him purely out of concern for my Junior Brother. It has nothing to do with the feelings between a man and a woman!" Han Ya said unhappily, "Moreover, I already said that I already have someone I like."
"Sigh …" Han Zhengshen sighed. If only his daughter liked this brat. With his daughter's beauty and inner qualities, he believed that this brat would not be able to escape.
Unfortunately, he couldn't force things between a man and a woman, let alone his own daughter. Although this kid was very important, he was definitely not as important as his daughter.
"By the way, you always tell me that you have someone you like. Where is he?" Han Zhengshen frowned and asked with dissatisfaction. "You're not young anymore. You've long reached the age of marriage. He must be older than you. Why hasn't he come to see me yet? "
"…"
Han Ya frowned when she heard this. Her face also became cold.
"I don't want to marry." Han Ya said coldly. Then she turned around and left.
Looking at the back of his daughter, Han Zhengshen stood there for a long time without returning to his senses. Then he frowned. As a father, he could naturally feel the change in his daughter.
This time, when his daughter came back, her personality changed dramatically.
Although he didn't know why, his daughter's personality changed too much. If he didn't know that this was his daughter, he would even suspect that his daughter had changed!
How could this be?
Han Zhengshen had asked her before. But Han Ya had always refused to answer. Her face even became colder. This made him not dare to ask further. He also didn't dare to investigate.
He also tried to ask Lu An. However, Lu An's answer was always that he didn't know. He always said that when he saw Han Ya, she was already like this.
One refused to answer. One didn't know. Even if Han Zhengshen had great ability, he would still feel a headache.
However, there were very few things that could make a person's personality change. And for his daughter outside, there was only one thing that was most likely to happen.
Emotional pain.
Thinking of this, Han Zhengshen frowned. There was a stuffy feeling in his chest.
Whoever dared to hurt his daughter would have to pay a bloody price!
Finally, after a busy day, it was nightfall. At this time, fireworks rose everywhere in the Middle Border City. They didn't stop for a moment, illuminating the dark sky everywhere.
The sound of fireworks and firecrackers were endless. In such a festive atmosphere, the Han family officially started the banquet.
First, Han Zhengshen, as the head of the family, gave a toast, and then each core member gave a speech. This banquet was the only one that had nothing to do with business. Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content. In addition, the nomads loved to drink. So after an hour, everyone was drunk. Many people fell on the table.
Of course, there were many people with good alcohol tolerance who didn't get drunk, such as Lu An.
Although Lu An never drank when he was a slave, he found that he had a talent for drinking. It seemed that no matter how much he drank, he wouldn't get drunk. Although he didn't like drinking, he didn't hate it. After everyone fell, he returned to the courtyard alone and sat on the roof, quietly looking at the moon.
Today's moon wasn't round. It was only a crescent moon. There were many stars in the sky, and a few of them were particularly bright.
Now, he missed his father and mother.
Every year, on New Year's Eve, his parents would accompany him. Although he was hungry, although he had nothing, although he was in the slave cave, he felt extremely warm with his parents.
In the arms of his parents, he felt that he had the world's happiness.
Although he was now strong and free, he missed the time he spent with his parents very much. If possible, he was willing to use everything he had to exchange for his parents' return.
However, everything was impossible.
It had been a full eight months since Tabukar had escaped. These eight months had brought about an earth-shattering change in his life. He went from a slave who kept running away to being respected by many people. Although there were many difficulties, he was very happy.
This was better than worrying about being executed at any time.
He didn't know how his friends were now …

Midnight Kingdom, Meteor Trail City.
In the headquarters of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, Liu Yi sat on a chair in the study, looking at the fireworks outside through the window. Her heart was exceptionally calm.
The reputation of Meteor Trail City was especially suitable for tonight.
Now that the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce was fully on the right track, the arrogant Meteor Trail Commerce was completely gone. Countless families and businesses were affiliated with the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. Even the mayor had to be courteous when he saw her.
Actually, what she didn't tell Lu An was that she didn't want to rebel because the Meteor Trail Commerce was unfair to her, but because of another reason.
She wanted to tell Lu An the real reason, but unfortunately, Lu An was nowhere to be found.
After Skylight City, Lu An had completely disappeared.
It wasn't just Liu Yi who missed Lu An. Kong Yan was the same.
As Lu An's senior, she had now officially entered level nine and was half a step into becoming a Celestial Master. After the new year, she would definitely be recommended to the Midnight Pavilion by the Starfire Academy. At that time, she would also have a meteoric rise.
However, during the battle at Skylight City, the powerful Lu An had left a deep impression on countless people. Even now, she didn't have the confidence to defeat Lu An at all.
Thinking about it, just a few months ago, he was still a freshman who didn't know anything. But now, he should be more powerful than she was, right?
Gao Dashan, Li Dongshi, and the rest had also returned to their homes in the countryside for the new year. That night, Gao Dashan's home received many blessings. Of course, all of this was because of Gao Dashan.
It was true that entering the Starfire Academy could change one's fate. Gao Dashan's talent wasn't bad in the Starfire Academy, and he would become a level one Celestial Master sooner or later. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with him from the nearby villages?
Because of Gao Dashan, his parents and siblings all benefited. While enjoying the flattery, Gao Dashan was happy, but he also missed his friends.
Especially that kid who was a few years younger than him.
Although he was so tall, in front of that kid, he was like a small man. In these few months without Lu An, even if they were bullied, no one would stand up for them.
As the eldest son of a poor family, he had to bear such a responsibility. But when he really came to Lu An's position, he felt how tiring everything was.
Some things, some decisions, made him feel extremely tired.
Fortunately, not long after Lu An disappeared, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce appeared and supported them greatly, making them feel better. But because of this, they missed Lu An even more.
The world was so big that the Midnight Kingdom and Tiancheng Kingdom were just a small corner.
In this world, there were people even further away who missed Lu An.
