By the time the bell had tolled for the third time, Chen Hao, still in deep slumber, was roused by the noise.
Seeing the hurried silhouettes cast upon the curtains by the sunlight, Chen Hao felt a surge of curiosity. He walked to the window, slightly pulled the curtains aside, and peered out, only to see countless pedestrians bustling in one direction down the street.
With curiosity gripping him, Chen Hao opened the window and asked an elderly man walking towards him, "Grandpa, what's happened?"
The old man shook his head, looking deeply worried as he said urgently, "Whenever the White Jade Hall's bell rings, it always means there is important news to announce, and more often than not, it's not good news. You are now people of Rainbow Paradise, so hurry and go to the White Jade Hall to see what it's about."
With that, the elderly man hastened away.
