The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

Third Order Novitiate Yake from the Radiant Holy See was the famous rising star of the previous session.

The Radiant Holy See held him in high regard, and the deacon's position available in half a month seemed all but guaranteed for Yake.

And at this moment, the future star of the Radiant Holy See resolutely had An Su shave his head,

Even though he was once known far and wide for his handsome looks, his flowing long hair was as if from a painting of an elegant young master, but now, under the illumination of the Judgment Light, a round halo of Holy Light fell upon his head, further accentuating his dignified aura.

Proficiency +1.

An Su stared at Yake's haircut with satisfaction, feeling that his barbering skills were getting better.

[First branch of Judgment Light, understanding of one Magic Circuit]

To perfect Magic, one must practice extensively, deepening the understanding of "shaving" through practice. The more you shave, the more experience you have,

And the more concepts you understand.

"Yue'er, wait for me."

Yake's eyes were filled with determination, for the woman he loved, what challenge could the Chaotic Frontier possibly pose?

"It's not..." Priest Paxi couldn't bear to see the young man stray down the wrong path and attempted to dissuade him, "Child, you need to think it over, the Chaotic Frontier is hard to endure..."

"Priest Paxi." Yake said gently, yet with a resolved gaze, "I once read in a book that love is war, and war has three rules, the first of which is persistence—persistently loving someone."

"Which book?" Priest Paxi asked.

"The famous 'Love Bible' 'Forbidden Love of the Child of the Curse and the Maid'."

"..." Priest Paxi fell silent.

"I thought I understood this principle, but in fact, I did not understand at all."

"It was Miss Yue'er who truly taught me," Yake said affectionately, "she taught me how to love others."

Yue'er was not only his first love but also a solace in his life, a guiding light in his journey.

In the past three days, the new noble concept conveyed to Yake by Yue'er had been deeply imprinted in his heart, and the spirit of persistence had become his pillar.

He had learned to persevere.

Yake's family and friends said he was foolish; the Chaotic Frontier was a real den of dragons and pit of tigers, and perhaps that woman was merely deceiving him into going there.

But even if it was a deception, what of it?

If Yue'er did not wish to see him, why bother deceiving him!

All of this was but a trial for him.

He had learned the spirit of persistence from Yue'er,

To love someone is to pursue them relentlessly!

After An Su finished shaving him and they had signed the agreement, Yake walked straight in.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Before leaving, Yake even remembered to thank An Su.

"No need to thank me." An Su responded calmly, "It's what I should do. Go ahead, your Yue'er is waiting for you."

Priest Paxi, standing nearby, had a complicated look in his eyes.

My nephew has been cuckolded.

That was the only thought in his head.

Luojia watched in utter bewilderment. She blinked, looking first at An Su and then at the satisfied departing Dak, turning her gaze back and forth; still, she failed to understand the current situation.

That woman called Yue'er, was she dating two men at the same time over these three days?

This question was completely beyond her understanding.

According to the teachings of the Order Church, one should be faithful to one's partner.

Flirting with two men at once, Luojia was utterly mystified by such a scenario.

Unimaginable.

"Yue'er! My Yue'er!"

Just then, a saint arrived at the door. He was dressed in Druid attire, with gold-rimmed glasses, and his long, dark green hair cascaded down his shoulders, looking handsome and learned, clutching a thick tome, his eyes burning with a thirst for knowledge.

Priest Paxi recognized this man; he was also a Novitiate.

He was about to attend the deacon's promotion examination in half a month.

The Druid Sect were all bookworms, engrossed in their sacred texts, and to them, women were merely animate elements.

Priest Paxi was confident that the Druid Scholar would not fall into the traps of women, no flowery words could entice them.

But in the next instant, his pupils contracted.

The Druid approached An Su and declared,

"I wish to join the Chaotic Frontier!"

"That pure, elegant moonlight is the knowledge I should be studying!"

My nephew has been cuckolded again?

Priest Paxi was stunned.

Was this Yue'er some kind of succubus?

She seemed to understand the hearts of men so well!

First, it was the Order Church, then the Radiant Holy See, and now even the Druid Sect had been lured in.

Weren't these scholarly fanatics supposed to only like plants?

Priest Paxi couldn't help but voice his doubt to the Druid.

With his eyes full of passion for knowledge, the Druid spoke solemnly and sacredly,

"You are right, as a Druid devoted to nature for life, I would never be beguiled by the honeyed words of women. I'm not so shallow, nor so foolish to be easily deceived by mere words."

Priest Paxi's face showed satisfaction; this was their Druid Scholar indeed.

The Druid Scholar continued slowly, "But Yue'er showed me her foot."

"..." Priest Paxi fell silent.

"That pure white and bright moonlight is the nature I must continue to explore!"

The Druid Scholar's eyes were brimming with a thirst for knowledge, "Thank you, Yue'er, for she has taught me the meaning of unyielding pursuit!"

Priest Paxi covered his face.

He was pessimistic about his nephew's path to first love.
