The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 363 - 238: The Second Major Test, Begins!_3
Several saints were also involved in black market gambling.
Lister and Arthur registered as well; however, they were still under the punishment phase of the Holy Light Judgment and had not regained their male bodies. They barely passed the real-name registration by using the Transformation Skill to disguise themselves and deliberately deepening their voices when they spoke.
Many saints felt an inexplicable urge as they watched the two men’s attractive silhouettes and were shocked, wondering if something was wrong with their preferences, as they found themselves drawn to these two men.
Lingering around Lister and Arthur were the witches from the Star Cult and the Oceanic Sect because the bishop had not been in touch, so they temporarily followed the commands of these two men.
Although they had already caused chaos among the Radiant Holy See’s candidates yesterday and had spread many esoteric viruses just over the course of last night, they had yet to target the exams of the other six sects, hence they showed a hungry and eager expression.
An Su also saw the Little Saintess Luojia.
She was slightly furrowing her brows, looking somewhat troubled in front of the registration window, seemingly worried about the high exam fees,
As the Radiant Holy Saintess, Luojia could have used her privileges to waive the fee without anyone daring to object.
Yet, she chose not to do so and took out a bag of gold coins from her pocket, counting them one by one.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford the payment; the fees were simply unreasonable and likely included many under-the-table kickbacks.
For the next month, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy her favorite cakes. Continue reading on novelbuddy
"Let me pay." An Su suddenly said, placing a stack of gold coins in front of the priest, "By the way, where’s Bishop Merlin’s portion?"
The Radiant Priest, who had taken the money, was initially stunned, then suddenly raised his head to stare at An Su. He knew An Su and Bishop Merlin’s relationship was deep, but he was puzzled by what this young man meant — why would Bishop Merlin want a share?
His Excellency Merlin was no longer the chief examiner, so why would he still get a part?
Frightened yet afraid, the priest didn’t expect Bishop Merlin’s reach to be so terrifying, but after all, it was Merlin; he was capable of such acts. He promptly showed a perfect smile, "You must be joking."
Better safe than sorry.
If he indeed angered His Excellency Merlin and ended up being made a scapegoat someday, the loss would far outweigh the gain!
The priest hastily returned the hundreds of gold coins An Su had previously paid and then took out his own portion, a thick stack of gold coins, and handed it directly to An Su.
Luojia watched An Su’s smooth cascading actions in a dazed state. After a moment of stupor, she let out a light sigh, "Thank you, I’ll pay you back."
"I didn’t pay anything." An Su said with a smile to Luojia.
"One thing at a time." Luojia shook her head somewhat rigidly, her pale eyes reflecting An Su’s face, "Had you not helped, I’d have had to pay those one hundred gold coins. Now I don’t have to, so I owe you one hundred."
"The way you plan to pay back might take a lifetime to clear." An Su observed Luojia, thinking it would be easy to deceive Cersei if she were only this honest.
"...even if it takes a lifetime, then it takes a lifetime."
Luojia turned her face away, no longer looking at An Su, as the sunlight from the glass dome above bathed her pale cheek in warmth.
In the center of the Seven Gods Hall, as the bells of the Holy Hall rang, all the saints stopped their chatter and looked uniformly toward the high platform. An Su also collected his thoughts and took a breath; the ringing of the bell signifying that the time had come.

The two exams were major plot twists in the original story, with countless hidden eyes about to emerge. An Su already sensed the storm approaching.
Church’s major exam officially began.
"Luojia." An Su revealed a calm smile and softly said, "Then you have to stay alive to pay me back."
