No one had noticed the formation that Gu Yuze had drawn near the coffin. Had it vanished in the chaos? How about the Tiger Tally and those dreams that he had? Had that been the artefact's goodbye explosion and he had just been in the blast?
But the Tiger Tally was too powerful and it was definitely the Tiger Tally which had almost killed him and yet kept him breathing until rescue.
He had not imagined it. Han Ji and Su Hai had been there at the tomb trying to reach through him in the illusion. They had not been present for that farce of a trial, but then, if they were, would it have gone the way it did?
Gu Yuze tried not to think too much, but in the soundless darkness of the Shaodi Cave, there was little he could do.
One week, that had been the verdict, Gu Yuze did not know whether Zhang Yu and his friend's dramatic accusation or his laughter and blatant disregard of the entire court had made the Head Elder give him that sentence of one week.
