章 85: 085 Actual Combat is the Best Teacher_1

Lixia was smiling faintly, her eyes fixed on the five people sitting around the table.

The five core disciples of the Wind Elephant Gate were now playing the roles of her beloved friends and family, bestowing their blessings on her. People of this era believed that the soul was most susceptible to demonic invasion on one's birthday. Therefore, on this special day, friends and family would gather to offer their blessings, along with a cake, to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits.
