More and more people became increasingly emotional, willing to take the punishment of the court rod on behalf of the Bai family's third daughter. Even children as young as seven or eight stood up and said, "The Bai family protects the people, and the people can also protect the Bai family. Even though I am young, I have read the books of the sages. I too am willing to be beaten for the Bai family sister!"
The executioner, seeing this, became even more hesitant to act, deeply shaken. He had never seen the common people so determined to protect a family. The aggressive demands of the people to take the punishment for the Bai family's third daughter left him standing there dumbfounded and at a loss. He turned and instructed the guard behind him, "Quickly report to the Supreme Peak and see how to handle this."
