To Weining's words, Yang Jian merely offered a smile and did not reply.
Weining continued, "After all, as the Law Enforcement Deity, I certainly cannot turn a blind eye to imperial fugitives crossing my path. However, I am hardly an exemplary official, nor do I dare to be clever and bring further trouble upon the Heavenly Court. Therefore, I hope that despite any unspeakable difficulties, you can bear the burden and clearly explain why you have become imperial fugitives. Allow me to understand the whole matter, and I will judge and ultimately decide how to deal with you. After all, as an immortal, I truly have no wish to wrong the innocent and watch you suffer an unjust death."
"As I said before, if you are indeed wronged, I will pretend I never saw you today. If you truly deserve your crimes, I can still let you choose whether to surrender or take your own lives. At least choosing your own method of death will spare you from enduring those brutal tortures, which are truly a waste of time," Weining said, flicking her chin toward Yang Jian.
