Unlike the solemn and harsh atmosphere of the Wanfa Sect headquarters, Divine Capital in December already had a festive and joyous ambiance.
As the year drew to a close, the nobility of Divine Capital began to busy themselves with ancestral sacrifices and visiting each other to "foster relationships." Being there to serve these highborns, the commoners of Divine Capital saw their business booming around the New Year, fattening their purses.
Moreover, for these common folks, there was another advantage during the New Year festivities, as the nobles avoided beating their servants to attract good fortune. Less pleasing and ineffective servants were dismissed. Consequently, many people found themselves with some leisure time.
Thus, the New Year atmosphere in Divine Capital intensified.
