As for the aftermath, where the males of the Pu Family fought tooth and nail for the single exemption to avoid military conscription, infuriating Minister Pu to the point of having a stroke, no one cared anymore!
Nobody knew that when the Pu Family was being raided and exiled in chaos, at the Mass Burial Mound five miles from the Pu Family ancestral graves, at midnight, a black cloud suddenly drifted into the clear starry sky. As it slowly moved above the mound and came to a stop, the moonlight was blocked by the black cloud, plunging the whole area into eerie darkness.
"Hiss..."
The old horse was pacing restlessly, while Gu Shi Yi leisurely laid on top of a grave, looking up at it. She reassured the horse, saying,
"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, even if there are any evil spirits, they won't harm you!"
