Ling'er was surprised by the invitation as she was asked to join in the bonfire. She looked at her beloved sister and Yue Yan, who nodded giving their approval.
The trio was led by the villagers as they made their way over to the fire, where a seat was around the burning flame. They took the seat first and soon other teams and villagers followed in, sitting one by one, scattering around the bone fire.
The night sky was clear and the stars were shining bright. The air was crisp and the sound of the bonfire crackling filled the air.
A group of musicians came, tuning their instruments, they were the locals who knew the cultural folk music. The music began and the villagers sang traditional songs, their voices rising in harmony as they were entertaining the young spirit rankers.
The songs were upbeat and cheerful, and everyone was in good mood. The fire danced and reflected in everyone's eyes, adding to the magical atmosphere of the night.
