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

An Su's smile grew brighter and brighter, as he had now collected five prospective deacons of the Church, and all of them were seed-level contenders.

As long as all his opponents were done for, An Su would be the first-place winner.

That was the relativity theory of examinations.

Moreover, he could guide the lost saints, help them see through the illusions of the mundane world, and henceforth devote themselves to enlightenment, which would also improve his own hairdressing skills.

In the end, the Chaotic Frontier would gain an influx of labor.

It was a win-win-win situation indeed.

So, the smile at the corner of An Su's mouth grew even sunnier.

He gazed at the handsome young nobleman clad in exquisite garments before him.

Mr. Aier was born into a branch of the historical Xien Family.

The Xien Family, being one of the most traditional hereditary nobilities with conservative, feudal thoughts, was the veritable banner of righteousness in Nether, and Aier grew up just as the family patriarch had hoped, following the strict conservative family rules, meticulously living by the book.

From his birth, the family patriarch told him, "You are a marquis' son, and the lowly commoners are from a different world than you."

Aier's future, probably, was to marry a noble lady.

Step by step, he would become an Alchemic Saint, step by step, build his own faction.

Step by step, prepare for the advanced examination a month later, everyone had confidence and expectations in him, and he unceasingly upheld his family's honor, preserving the traditions that had lasted over a thousand years, for only glory could place their family at the summit of Farol.

That had been Aier's belief all along.

Until three days ago, Aier and his brothers encountered 'her'.

After that, Aier completely understood what true glory meant.

"You don't understand what love is at all."

Aier's eyes were profound and passionate as he began to share his story,

"True love should have the passion of flames, just like the sparks flying from the alchemy platform, beautiful and bright, making one throw caution to the wind, and even if it is a moth to flame, one has to dive wholeheartedly into it. This is the courage of love. To bravely do what you know is wrong."

"And I knew it was a forbidden love affair."

His brothers behind him also clapped and echoed his sentiment. Read latest stories on empire

Priest Paxi, seeing Aier's deep demeanor and considering his words, thought they made quite a bit of sense.

What else could be said but 'youth,'

With the courage to love fiercely,

Daring to break the conventional prejudices of society.

Anyway, since his own nephew wasn't involved this time, he might as well let them be.

An Su also showed a look of agreement, feeling that Aier too was a man with a story, and said, "Please tell us the story of your encounter."

"The first time I saw Miss Yangzi was three days ago, on a misty evening, within the secluded and indifferent manor. I was alone in my room, feeling lonely and isolated, and she appeared in my room like a ray of light. Since then, my heart has been captivated."

"Meeting her, undoubtedly, was a blessing from the gods, the divine guiding us together."

Aier snorted lightly, oozing dominion.

"Hmph, an interesting woman."

Priest Paxi showed a look of approval, a very romantic beginning.

"Following the clues she left, after many twists and turns, and with painstaking effort, I was finally able to find her again."

Priest Paxi nodded again, a classic tale of an aristocratic young master meeting an energetic commoner girl, very classic and romantic, and extremely popular with the young people of late, just like the hit 'Child of the Curse and the Maid Miss's Forbidden Love.'

One just wonders what kind of clue Miss Yangzi left behind, was it a glass slipper that only her foot could fit?

Deities of chastity and love indeed bestow blessings.

A noble and a girl breaking conventions, bravely falling in love, that's the 'courage' of love.

Even Luojia next to him found it quite interesting, it seemed like a pure love story. He moved his stool closer, curiously asking, "What clue did Miss Yangzi leave behind?"

Mr. Aier chuckled, pride brimming in his profound eyes; his demeanor was lofty and confident, his smile as bright as the sun, as if he were the chosen favorite of the heavens. He slowly pulled out a sapphire-made alchemy encrypted box from his pocket.

As he displayed the box, he looked as proud as an emperor.

With the alchemy gears slowly turning, the treasured contents within were finally revealed, and Luojia peered inside to see a card.

'Home alone. Bored. Miss Yangzi's Magic Communication: 921012734'

The hall fell into dead silence.

"...." The Little Holy Maiden was flabbergasted.

Her eyes were wide circles, struggling to understand the complex information that had flooded her mind.

Blinking rapidly as if questioning her own vision, she stared at the card again, realizing she wasn't mistaken, causing her to grow even more flustered, subconsciously clutching the hem of An Su's clothes.

Like a disheveled and helpless kitten.

She once thought Miss Yue'er to be an invincible existence, yet had not anticipated Miss Yangzi to be even more formidable, each more prominent than the last!

Priest Paxi's mouth twitched, as someone nearly in his thirties, he had never seen such a wicked and degenerate object.

Beside the card, there was undoubtedly the exquisite figure of a beautiful woman, lit up with full-screen Holy Light.

Priest Paxi stared at Aier's proud smile, it turns out 'light' had literally appeared before you!
