Today is New Year's Eve, a good day to be with family.

"Boom, crack! Boom, crack! Boom, crack!"

Fireworks bloom in the pitch-black night sky, magnificent and dazzling, like bright pearls embedded in the dark, embellishing the night with colorful lights.

The streets are bustling with people, a constant flow of traffic.

Some children hold fireworks called "Fairy Wands" and run around, comparing whose wand is prettier and whose fireworks are more dazzling. Some children even playfully chase each other and step on each other's clothes, enjoying themselves.

Vendors set up stalls on the roadside, selling various snacks such as sugar-coated haws, skewers, fried chicken, and so on, presenting a dazzling array.

Teenagers and young adults wear new clothes and stroll around temple fairs, buying various small items such as rubber bands, hairpins, and bells.

A vendor is trying to sell her own products to a young girl with snow-white hair. The girl has her hair tied up in a high ponytail, with two hair strands hanging down like tassels, and the sides tied up with red ropes. She is wearing a gradually changing blue feather weave and a dark blue pleated skirt, with a matching gold-threaded waistband embroidered with cloud patterns and tassels hanging down. Her waist is soft and slender, showing off her graceful figure.

Her every frown and smile exudes an air of nobility and elegance, with graceful and dignified movements, just like a noble young lady.

"Miss, how about this white hat? I think it would look great on you, especially with your beautiful skin."

"Brother! Do you think it looks good?" Jin Yi Han (appeared in Chapter 91) asked with a smile, wearing the hat. A mischievous glint shines in his gray-blue eyes.

"Not bad, not bad." Jin Yi Chuan, Jin Yi Han's older brother, nodded repeatedly in approval.

After paying, the two of them left.

"Brother, there is a magic show ahead. Let's go and have a look." Jin Yi Han smiled and pulled Jin Yi Chuan into a magic shop by the street. As soon as they entered, they were stunned by everything in front of them.

A wooden tower, three stories high, stood with a large magic platform on top. The platform was adorned with various lanterns, on which colored silk and balls were tied, with messages like "May everyone have a happy New Year's Eve" written on them.

On the magic platform, a piece of red velvet was laid, covered with a thick red carpet. Four assistants stood on both sides of the carpet, holding magic wands with serious expressions, motionless, displaying a high level of professionalism.

In front of the magic platform, there were two discs with two coins in each, and in the center of the coins were two burning flames.

The magician covered the four people with black cloth and chanted something like a spell.

With a "swoosh" sound, the flames went out, and the four bulging black cloths fell to the ground.

"The moment of witnessing a miracle has arrived." The magician shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the magician uncovered the black cloths, revealing shattered white bones.

This scene was thrilling and applause filled the air, with cheers and shouts of excitement. Some timid children were scared and cried.

The magician covered the four piles of bones with black cloth again, clapped his hands, and the flames in the center of the coins ignited once more, and the red cloth gradually rose.

The magician uncovered the black cloth, and the four assistants were back on the magic platform.

Then thunderous applause erupted from the audience, excitement filled the air, and the crowd shouted and cheered loudly, echoing through the sky.

Amidst the applause, the magician and the four assistants bowed to the audience, smiling brightly.

"Brother, let's go and have a look over there. There is a large square with lots of people, it must be fun." Jin Yi Han excitedly pulled Jin Yi Chuan and walked towards the other side of the street.

"It's so beautiful!"

The entire square was surrounded by red silk, decorated with flowers. In the center stood a giant firecracker.

"Hey, brother, that looks like your classmate!" Jin Yi Han pointed to the center of the square.

A woman with golden wavy hair sat on a bench, with her hands propping up her head, eyes closed as if dozing off. She was wearing a blue and white dress with intricate gold embroidery, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, partially covering half of her face, making it impossible to see her features.Jin Yichuan walked over and gently patted the girl's shoulder.

Xingli looked up at Jin Yichuan and quickly stood up, bowing in greeting, "Greetings, Your Highness..."

Before Xingli could finish speaking, Jin Yichuan stopped her, "No need for formalities. I don't want to attract too much attention. Just call me Brother Guan, like when we were kids."

"Understood! Brother Guan," Xingli responded.

As for how the two of them knew each other, Jin Yichuan was injured in a battle with a magic beast, and conveniently, there was a caravan returning to Count Karami Manor nearby. Linda and Jin Yichuan traveled back to Count Karami Manor with the caravan.

It was at that time that Xingli also met Jin Yichuan. At that time, Linda didn't know that Jin Yichuan was the Crown Prince. Jin Yichuan, after recovering, wandered around and coincidentally bumped into Count Karami himself, who recognized Jin Yichuan as the Crown Prince.

Later, Linda and Xingli both learned of Jin Yichuan's identity as the Crown Prince, but Jin Yichuan asked them to keep it a secret. After all, he just wanted to study magic at the Tian Du Academy as an ordinary person.

Of course, Linda treated Jin Yichuan the same as before, not treating him as the Crown Prince.

"Where is your sister Linda?" Jin Yichuan asked.

"She went to buy barbecue. She asked me to wait here. She said she'll be back soon," Xingli truthfully answered.

"Then I'll wait here for her. It's been a long time since we saw each other after graduation," Jin Yichuan said with a smile.

"This is my younger sister, Jin Yihan. You and Xingli are the same age. I believe you should have more common topics," Jin Yichuan introduced briefly.

"Hello, I'm Xingli. I've met the Princess," Xingli said sweetly, with a voice as melodious as a singing bird.

"I'm Jin Yihan. Nice to meet you. No need to call me Princess, just call me by my name," Jin Yihan kindly extended her hand.

Xingli smiled and shook Jin Yihan's hand, "Nice to meet you, Jin Yihan."

Ten minutes later, Linda came running with a bag of barbecue. She was out of breath, her cheeks flushed, and sweat dripping from her forehead. Clearly, she was exhausted.

"There were so many people buying barbecue today!" Linda said breathlessly.

"Well, of course, today is New Year's Eve," Jin Yichuan chuckled.

"Why are you here, Jin Yichuan? Shouldn't you stay in the palace obediently? What are you doing out here?" Linda asked in confusion.

"Why? Can't I go out and have fun?" Jin Yichuan laughed.

"Eating barbecue?" Linda asked.

"I'm full. I already had dinner," Jin Yihan declined.

Jin Yichuan, on the other hand, didn't hesitate and picked up a piece of barbecue, taking a bite and savoring it.

"You're so rude!" Linda scolded in annoyance.

"Why should I be polite to you?" Jin Yichuan said matter-of-factly.

"Back then, the three of us fought together in the team competition and eventually won for White Stork," Jin Yichuan said while eating the barbecue.

"Oh, by the way, how is Lu now? I heard he formed Class 21 at Tian Du Academy," Jin Yihan suddenly remembered Lu and asked.

"Lu has left us forever," Linda's expression instantly dimmed.

Upon hearing this, Jin Yihan was extremely shocked and looked at Linda incredulously, "Lu is so powerful. He saved me from three orc generals. Why did he die?"

"Because he was a Knight of Dawn. Knights of Dawn have always been like this, and Lu is no exception," Linda sighed.

"Yihan, don't be sad. The dead cannot come back to life. We must look forward and not dwell in grief. Besides, Lu has passed away. We should cherish the living," Jin Yichuan comforted.

"Okay," Jin Yihan held back her tears and nodded.

As the square clock rang, a massive firework bloomed in the sky, dazzlingly bright.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom... boom boom boom..."

"Crackling... crackling..."

The sound of firecrackers suddenly filled the square, illuminating the entire space. People were cheering and the atmosphere was festive."Wow... so beautiful!" The children in the square exclaimed.

Xingli took Jin Yi Han to watch the show, hoping to make him happy.

After the two girls left, Jin Yi Chuan looked up at the fireworks in the sky and said, "You shouldn't have told her these things."

"I thought you would tell her," Linda sneered.

"Never mind, Han will know these things sooner or later. Who is the new generation of Dawn Knights?"

"The new generation of Dawn Knights is called Night White, the one who ranked first in the team competition."

"Him? Apart from gender, his abilities are exactly the same as those described by Iris in the wanted notice. But the notice seems to say that she has the ability to transform."

Linda nodded without denying, "Why did Queen of the Blood want to arrest this person named Iris? What did she do to anger Queen of the Blood?"

"How would I know? Posting this is just due to the pressure from the Crimson Empire. After all, we, the White Stork, do not have the capital to fight against the blood clan. Moreover, what does it matter to us whether we can find Iris or not? Since the team competition, this Night White has also disappeared for a long time. But it doesn't matter, the Black Lock is just his self-defense tool. It's only a matter of time before he is caught." Jin Yi Chuan shrugged, indifferent.

Night White being Iris is something all the mages of the White Stork suspect. In addition, he hasn't appeared in Tian Du Academy for so long. There must be something suspicious about him, so it is basically confirmed that Night White is Iris, unless he can prove himself.

...

At this time, Night White was speeding through the darkness, consuming the Dark Shadow System's magical energy towards the direction of the Sun Moon Empire.

Bai Lian was still healing in the Consciousness Space and it would take three or four days for him to fully recover.

Night White could hear the sound of firecrackers from some small villages. If it weren't for evading pursuers, why would he need to do so?

He must solve these problems from the root as soon as possible, or he will be hunted until death.

Chaos was quite satisfied with Night White's performance. All conflicts originated from him, and everything was going according to plan.
