Under the cold moonlight, a petite woman leaned against the cold stone wall. A big tree shadow fell on her body, making people unable to see her, or her facial expression. However, a large wine jar near her feet suggested her mood was bad. A faint aroma of wine could make people drunk, but it could not untie the woman knitted brows.

She and Qing knew that for a serious mental illness patients like Su Mu Feng, he should be given treatment and helped, not killed. However, in this era, in the society that they were living, the families of deceased and ordinary people would not accept if 'a killer did not get killed' result.

As a police officer, seeing Su Mu Feng sentenced to death, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She knew that she couldn't save him. She also knew that every place/country had its own laws. It won't be changed because of her. Her conflicting values between right and wrong made her feel suffocated tonight.

She couldn't continue staying here. She wanted to go home. This idea has never been as obvious as it was now. Gu Yun decided, tomorrow she would find Su Ling to ask about the golden bagua. She grabbed the jar and mercilessly gulped the wine. A familiar sensation of being watched appeared again.

"Who is it?" It was that feeling again. The last she felt it was when they trained in the forest! Last time, she almost caught him. This time, she was not interested in chasing, so she just said, "Come out now."

She thought that the person would not appear. She didn't expect that he would come out after she finished speaking, a tall figure slowly walked towards her. His clothes were as dark as the night. His silver eyes looked so dazzling at night, letting people know who was coming.

"Was that you?" Gu Yun squinted her eyes. At this time, Ao Tian was already in front of her. Seeing the pale cold face, Gu Yun laughed, "I didn't expect that we had met before." It turned out that the one who was watching her was Ao Tian.

Gu Yun turned around again and raised the jar on her hand, drinking a couple big gulps again. She asked, "You have two options: First, is to sit down with me and accompany me drinking. Second, get out of here. I'm not interested in being a circus monkey tonight (Staring object)."

It was not hard to detect in the husky voice, which usually was cold and sharp, that there was a sense of irritability. Under the night sky, she casually sat on the ground, leaning on a cold stone wall. The high bun was blown by the night breeze from time to time. On her hand, there was a big jar of wine. It was really disproportionate to her petite body, giving a different kind of impression. However, the knitted brows couldn't be concealed. Ao Tian's usually expressionless face looked puzzled. What made her, a very strong and calm person, irritated?

Sitting beside Gu Yun, Ao Tian thought of Qing's and her expressions on the day when Dan Yu Lan announced the emperor decree regarding the case of lost heart. Ao Tian seemed to understand a bit why she was mad. However, she was a woman who would avenge her grudges and Su Mu Feng was very cruel. Why did she care so much about Su Mu Feng? His mind was puzzled. He quickly asked, "Do you think Su Mu Feng should be sentenced to death?"

Gu Yun's hand which was raising up the jar paused. Did she become so obvious? She self-mockingly smiled and faintly replied, "It is wrong."

She really had that kind of thought. This woman would desperately complete her aim if she had an aim. She wouldn't be.... Ao Tian seriously looked at her. Gu Yun laughed, "Your expression was so serious. Did you think that I was going to raid the prison?"

Gu Yun casually said it like that. Ao Tian frivolously frowned. He had indeed had such thought before. Gu Yun felt a little bit dumbfounded. Did she look like a reckless woman? Putting down the jar, Gu Yun sighed, "Every era and every country should have laws. Even though outdated, it couldn't meet everyone's wishes and even if it is unfair, but it was still a fixed standard. The law is still fairer than doing self-justice, so I still respect the law. Even if I think there were problems with Qiong Yue's law system and Su Mu Feng should not be dead, I will choose to try to modify the laws not raiding a prison. Prison raid is meaningless to me and also stupid!"
