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

The next day.

After a light rain last night, the sky was clear and transparent, revealing an orange-white hue as though washed clean.

Newspaper boys rode their oil-green bicycles, stuffing subscription newspapers into the distribution boxes in front of each household, their wind chimes tinkling with a crisp sound.

The day for the people of Farol began with a cup of coffee and a newspaper.

The "Imperial Capital Daily" is the third most distributed newspaper in Entire Hell, covering everything from current affairs and politics to gossip news.

But the section that is most acclaimed is the entertainment gossip column, which features a list every day, the #Most Popular Young Saints Ranking#, in separate male and female editions, with rankings accordingly.

The rankings are all selected from votes sent in by the saints themselves, ensuring the content is credible and trustworthy. Thus, looks are secondary; the main focus is to demonstrate approachability and prestige among the saints.

The Church is happy to see such publicity, firstly because it is more people-friendly, and secondly, it showcases the youthful vivacity of the younger generation. Using handsome men and beautiful women as the face of the brand is also more attractive to young boys and girls considering joining the Church.

Since a month ago, Luoja Fast's name has frequently appeared near the top of the #Most Popular Beautiful Girls List#, proving that the Little Holy Maiden is quite famous among the ordinary saints. However, after this week's ranking update, she had been trading places with the Holy Maiden of the Imperial Capital at the top for some time.

But now, there has been a slight change in the top rankings.

In yesterday's newspaper,

Miss Yangzi, the most beautiful girl ranking number one.

#The Holy Light Angel seen once in a millennium#, #The gift bestowed by God#, #The mysterious light that appears through the door crack#, #The Holy Maiden of the Sun#, writers of the news have given Miss Yangzi a series of titles, spinning various gossip news around her.

The masses love to read about this.

"Hmph."

Arthur snorted lightly, looking at the newspaper with a bright and sunny confident smile on his face.

Everything was just basic operation within easy reach. As a glorious and holy Sun Knight, doing anything well is a given, and to top the list of beautiful girls was effortless.

The Sun Family has for thousands of years honored the pride of manhood, and his father often told Arthur as a child that he should become the strongest man, like a lion overpowering all other males,

If Arthur could defeat all males, then it was only natural to defeat all females too. That was what a real man should do.

The ancestors of the Sun Family would certainly be proud and boastful of him from the bottom of their hearts.

And it was all worth the effort of distributing little cards from house to house.

In contrast to Arthur's proud joy, Lister looked worried.

Miss Yue'er, the most beautiful girl ranking number two.

#The Moon Angel seen once in five hundred years#, #As pristine as the jadelike moon#, #The early morning healer#, #The Holy Maiden of the Moon#, writers also gave Miss Yue'er a series of beautiful titles.

But Lister was not happy.

Humility and low profile have always been the virtues of the aristocracy. Lister knew well the principle that the outstanding tree in the forest is the one most likely to be blown down.

He was certainly aware of his own excellence, but he did not wish to show it off. However, who knew that a truly excellent aristocrat would shine in any field?

Lister hadn't expected that he would land at number two on the rankings of beautiful girls just by making an offhand effort.

Forever the third-place winner — that was Lister's creed.

Thinking of this, Lister looked at Miss Faust, ranked third, with a touch of dissatisfaction and let out a helpless sigh.

Resenting her lack of competition.

Surely in terms of looks alone, Luoja surpassed Lister and Arthur's photoshopped images, but the Little Holy Maiden was rather aloof by nature, her interactions with the saints limited to mere hand-waving, naturally not up to Lister's all-day gentle chat.

Not to mention the devious trick of distributing small cards by Arthur.

Luoja always felt that Lister's gaze was unfriendly, but she had no time to care about it now, as she followed closely behind An Su. "What's your relationship with that Miss Yangzi?"

"Lived with me for a while," An Su replied honestly, not lying at all, having once been roommates with Arthur.

"Tch."

Luoja became even more annoyed inside; she could not allow An Su to continue this fall from grace.

Clearly not a good person at first glance.

"How can Miss Yangzi not be a good person?" Arthur seemed to perceive what was on Luoja's mind and took offense first, "Miss Yangzi is ranked number one on the list, after all."

The Sun Knight cares greatly about honor.

He had finally achieved first place and hadn't even had the chance to show off to others.

The warm sunlight spread evenly on the street, making it warmly comfortable. They were now off to continue recruiting members, as the rebuilding of the Chaotic Frontier was in great need of livestock. However, to Arthur's slight disappointment, the quality and quantity of saints who came to enlist had dropped significantly compared to a week ago.

Miss Yangzi and Miss Yue'er, after all, lacked endurance.

Today, he reckoned the number of saints coming to enlist would be in the single digits.

That's what he and Lister both thought, but when they arrived at the recruitment hall, they saw a mass of people lined up in front, not just common citizens piled up like a mountain of people but also a good number of saints dressed in clerical vestments.

The noisy crowd was surging, people crowded in front of the recruitment hall, each with an excited look and eyes seemingly shimmering with light.

Even knights from the Order Church had been dispatched to maintain order.
