The bonfire had gradually died down. The wine was gone, and the roasted squab had all been eaten.
The villagers had all gone back to rest. As usual, Li Fan carried Nan Feng, Ziling, and the other female disciples back, along with Gongya and Xin Ning. Then he went back for Long Zixuan, Wu Dade, and the others.
