After quite some time, Li Jingming hesitantly started, "Xiao Xue, it takes the person who tied the bell to untie it. If you want the academy to be lenient, you will have to address the root of the issue."
"You mean—" Shen Yixue's eyes flickered with understanding, "I should go and find Zhong Niangyao?"
Li Jingming nodded, "The other person involved in this incident is Zhong Niangyao. If she is willing to let it go, then the academy probably won't be too harsh."
"Okay," Shen Yixue nodded, "I will go find Nianyao tomorrow. Even if I have to kneel, I will beg for her forgiveness."
She did not want to meet Zhong Niangyao at all, and even less did she want to see her face. But, just as Li Jingming had said, that was her only chance. Only if Zhong Niangyao was willing to forgive her, would the school not impose a severe punishment on her.
