Li Yang was woken up after sleeping for less than three hours.

It was pitch black outside, and the nun who was responsible for helping her wash and dress was already waiting in the yard neatly.

The saint does not have to appear in advance, but the face-saving work may take much more time than simply queuing.

"I can do it myself."

She waved her hand and instructed the nuns to bring various washing and dressing tools into the hall: "I will not reveal my true face to anyone until the traitors to the church are cleared out."

Such an arrogant tone.

But Li Yang seemed quite confident when she said this.

The nuns looked at each other, and no one moved.

"As an exclusive knight, I can testify for Saint Arya. This is the will of God." Edwins stopped the head maid who was about to speak.

"Well then." Since it was the knight who spoke, the head maid Vanessa chose to compromise, "But——"

She changed the subject: "The Saint's attire must be confirmed by me personally."

No one spoke up for her this time.

God knows whether this saint from the city of Ovi has received good training. Today's trial is a public event. People from all over the holy city have the opportunity to see the power of the temple. No one wants to become the laughing stock of the city because of a saint who doesn't know the rules.

Oh no.

Ms. Vanessa, who had personally received three saints and managed hundreds of nuns, considered herself very noble. She tucked a slightly graying hair behind her ear and corrected herself in her heart.

Strictly speaking, she is not a saint yet, just a candidate.

Li Yang keenly noticed the disdain in Sister Vanessa's eyes.

Even though she had become a saint who was high and mighty, her situation didn't seem to have improved much.

There's nothing we can do. After all, the saint is just a mascot.

Knight Edwins's sharp sword will cleanse everything for her.

The elegant Saint Arya only needs to play the role of a useless but beautiful gem on her sword.

The appearance of the gem really caused a sensation.

When Li Yang entered the venue, the civilians who had been queuing in the square overnight all gave extremely exaggerated exclamations:

"The saint's posture is so elegant, and the layers of skirts can't hide her slender waist!"

"And her hair is such pure gold, the color favored by the gods!"

"It looks just like a golden swan!"

Li Yang could even hear the little girl making a wish in the corner of the square:

"I hope that when the Saint prays today, she can ask the God of Light to send down the healing holy light so that my father's illness can be cured soon."

It was a very grand and harmonious appearance.

But is this really the case?

Li Yang took difficult steps, breathing slowly. Under her thick and shiny skirt, her waist, which was already extremely thin due to malnutrition, was already covered with red marks from the corset.

This is the result of more than an hour of dressing this morning.

Li Yang thought that it was a miracle that she could stand here now. If her identity was exposed now, or a large-scale rebellion broke out, she would not even have the room to struggle.

Fortunately, she didn't need to be involved in what happened next.

Scholar Mo Wen verified her identity in public.

"God of Light, the prophecy has told me her true identity. This is the candidate for the Saint with the highest affinity for light attributes in the Sri Lanka continent in the past hundred years: Arya!"

Li Yang looked up, patiently waiting for the people below to express the praise they had heard before in a more exaggerated form——

"But why does the saint wear a veil?" someone asked.

"Don't you know? Saint Alia was attacked by monsters in the town of Lot last night!"

"Oh my God!" The man covered his mouth, "What happened next?"

"Of course, Knight Edwins arrived in time and saved the Saint!"

It turned out to be the case.

The people below showed expressions of understanding. No wonder Knight Edwins had been guarding the Saint all the time.

The hero saves the beauty, the knight saves the saint.

What a romantic plot.

Therefore, Edwins' promotion became a matter of course. The priest praised him in public and officially appointed him as the guardian knight of Saint Arya, who would accompany the Saint to complete her final tour.

After the commendation, we finally arrived at the highlight of the day, the trial session.

"Last night's monster attack on the village was not accidental!"

Scholar Morwen looked around and announced, "No crime can escape the eyes of light. The prophecy tells me that the culprit is among you. One of you is a knight we admire very much!"

In the panic, ten traitors who sneaked into the temple were caught and tied to the punishment pillars. Saint Arya lit the holy fire with her own hands.

The flames raged, burning the ten people and their betrayal to ashes.

"Can we go now?" Li Yang finished reading silently, then turned around and said to Edwins.

Knight Edwins hung his sword back on his waist and frowned in disapproval: "No, the next step is for the priests to bless the believers collectively. You should stand here and show your cultivation as a saint."

Also, Sister Vanessa asked me to tell you something.

"What?" Li Yang asked.

Edwins used magic to smooth out an almost invisible wrinkle on her long skirt and said in a serious tone: "A saint should always pay attention to the decency of her skirt. In addition, you should hold your head higher."

"Okay." Li Yang smiled.

The trial lasted the entire morning. When she finally returned to her room, Li Yang felt that she could not stand steadily.

After resting for a while, feeling sleepy and tired, she finally had lunch time after a long absence.

Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Li Yang had just cut off a small piece of truffle cream potato with a fork, and before she could put it into her mouth, she heard Sister Vanessa scream:

"Oh my god, this is so inelegant! I think your maid must be a very irresponsible person! Where is she?"

So noisy!

Li Yang's patience has officially come to an end!

"She's dead."

She put down her knife and fork and retorted unhappily: "I don't think it's polite to yell at the saint casually. The priest sent you to take care of me, not to find fault everywhere."

She stood up and said, "I think I need to go talk to the priest about this matter."

Vanessa's face suddenly turned green.

"A letter has been received in Ovi City. Saint Arya's new maid is on the way." Edwins reminded in a gentle voice, "I'm afraid it won't take a week for the Saint to see her."

A very bad message.

Li Yang thought, she was a fake saint.

"But according to what the priest said today, the tour has been delayed too long. You need to set off again within three days to the next location, oh, that is, Kadi Coast."

Li Yang's heart, which had just been lifted, fell back again.

Thanks to that group of weak knights. If it weren't for their inefficiency along the way, Arya would not have been able to complete the tour yet and was even forced to shorten the tour route.
