The people of Ning'an County lined up loosely on the street in front of the county office, moving forward like a slow river. However, when the woman shouted, those in front stepped back, while those behind pushed forward, desperately trying to catch a glimpse of Fang Yun.

Some parents even pressed their children's heads to the ground, whispering, "Hurry and kowtow to the Empty Sage!"

On the Holy Origin Mainland, commoners did not bow to officials, but kneeling before a Saint's position was a matter of course. The Empty Sage was an honorary Saint's position, so scholars, regardless of their age compared to Fang Yun, willingly knelt.

On either side of the county office stood a locust tree. Those who couldn't get to the entrance quickly climbed the trees to look down, soon filling even the branches with people.
