Chapter 575: Celebrating Longevity

As the procession approached, Yang Xiao and his companions could finally see clearly: it was a group of people carrying red lanterns, eerily emerging from the dense fog, ghost-like, with a large square wooden sign held in the middle, half the height of a man, inscribed with a bright red "Longevity."

"Longevity sign." Xiang Fengchen recognized the sign and the origin of the procession, "Someone is celebrating a birthday."

"In the middle of the night?" Nalan Shuo frowned slightly.

"Yes, who celebrates a birthday at this hour?" someone behind chimed in. Indeed, although they could not determine the exact time now, the night was deep, and no ordinary family would celebrate a birthday at such an hour.

Moreover, a birthday procession should be joyous and lively, with music and drumming, the more auspicious, the better, to beckon good luck. However, this procession exuded a chilling aura of death, which did not seem like a celebration but rather a funeral.
