"I think knocking three times on this obelisk should do it."
Lin Baici certainly wasn't going to kneel.
Fei Xiao had average EQ but plenty of social experience. Hearing this, he immediately took it upon himself to be the scapegoat and picked a few people out.
"You, you, and you, come here, kneel before the obelisk, and kowtow!"
The people Fei Xiao picked included both men and women, all reasonably attractive.
The ten people named were somewhat afraid, worried that they'd be sacrificed.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"
Fei Xiao urged, "It's just a kowtow; you won't lose a piece of flesh, right?"
The ten people walked nervously to the obelisk, knelt down, and kowtowed.
"With sincerity, with force, let your forehead touch the ground!" Fei Xiao demanded.
