"Yiyi acknowledges her mistakes... Please, Head Hua Jing, punish me!"
Zi Yiyi's voice carried a slight tremor, full of regret.
"You will be punished, but not by me; it will be by the Exorcism Bureau."
Head Hua Jing's tone was lamenting as both Tiao Yaoyao and Zi Yiyi trembled, knowing full well the meaning of these words—Head Hua Jing would not handle it privately but would send Zi Yiyi to face the tribunal of the Exorcism Bureau.
"Lord Hua Jing, please no! Sister Yiyi was merely momentarily bewildered... Please give her another chance..." Tiao Yaoyao mustered her courage to plead for her sister.
Zi Yiyi's eyes welled with tears, as she bit her trembling lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
"Did I not give her a chance? When Divine Son You Su asked her what crime she committed, yet she could not be pardoned. If she merely failed to resist temptation and followed you into the valley without causing a major mistake, how could I blame her?
