Just after dawn, Wei Jiu sent someone to the Government Office. Xue Zhi didn't plead, as she cared more about her Curse Technique being abolished than imprisonment.
Bai Ruozhu and the others didn't bother with the county magistrate's verdict, as it was essentially exile beyond the frontier, letting Xue Zhi suffer.
Master Xue no longer mentioned the idea of Xue Zhi attending Madam Xue's funeral. He thought perhaps Madam Xue's spirit wouldn't want to see Xue Zhi.
Even Xue Zhi suffered so much from backlash. How painful must Madam Xue's death by curse have been? Not to mention, even after death, she found no peace.
Bai Ruozhu and the others did not attend the funeral, choosing to leave Linchuan City directly, but Xue Zhuo came to see them off.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my family would have been destroyed." Xue Zhuo bowed deeply in gratitude.
"Do you hate her?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
