The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 323 - 223: Luojia: Are you sure you want me to look at this?
Luojia huddled her neck, sneaking a glance at the book wrapped in parchment, and then quickly closed it, her face flushed red like a ripe apple, her eyes clearly betraying panic, no longer the confident composure she had before, as if there was steaming steam coming out of her head.
It was like opening the door to a new world.
Just moments before, she had been certain there was no knowledge in this world that could stump her, but she couldn’t understand a single thing in the realm this study material touched upon; it was completely over her head.
What is all this....
It was too chaotic.
Is this really the kind of question that the Radiant Holy See would pose?
The saying went that if the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked. That legendary God of Law, Merlin, was nothing but a shameless old pervert, coming up with this type of question, and that was what led the entire Church astray....
Luojia bit her silver teeth lightly, her initial panic fading away to reveal a stern look in her eyes. If she wanted to correct the crooked ways of the Church now, she had to start with reforming this Radiant Bishop.
Luojia had to practice diligently, and once her power was sufficient, she was going to report that old Merlin.
Such filth—she would never lay eyes on it again!
"The knowledge in this book..." Luojia looked at An Su, her voice as low as an insect’s, "I think I better not take it..."
You’re not giving me... Luo Xiaohei, nestled in An Su’s arms, thought to himself, his gaze lingering on the book in Luojia’s embrace.
"Knowledge has no good or bad," An Su shook his head, thinking it must be knowledge from a former life like the theory of evolution which, in the rigid world of the Cathedral, was considered blasphemous and enough to get one burned at the stake, "Our era is progressing, and our thoughts should be more open and advanced!"
"Saintess Luojia! Your thoughts are too depraved!"
An Su’s greenish eyes took on a serious look, seizing the opportunity to criticize, he decided to thoroughly denounce the little saintess’s feudal thinking,
"As the new generation of Radiant Followers, we should all learn to embrace and accept new knowledge, and you, as our new generation Saintess, should lead by example!"
And now you’re turning it around lecturing me about being depraved?
What kind of inverted defiance...

...Luojia glared at the little fledgling An Su, thinking about reporting him as well.
She took a gentle breath, her golden eyes rippling with unfathomable emotions. The cool night breeze drifted between them, and after a long silence, she finally lifted her head to look at An Su, saying,
"Is this what you want me to learn?"
Her cheeks felt warm as she spoke the words, the cool night air caressing her face, but the chill was quickly melted away before it got close.
"That’s right." An Su was still one person short of five, and he was hoping to be in the last five.

"...Hmph." With An Su’s confirmation, Luojia gently pursed her lips, feeling as if her cheeks were redder than the evening glow, her eyes flickering with complex emotions. Finally, she slowly nodded, biting her lip, re-wrapped the book in parchment, and held it to her chest.
She always found herself unable to deal with An Su.
"I... I’m going home now." Luojia glanced at An Su wistfully, snorted angrily, and turned her head away, not mentioning the prospect of entering An Su’s home anymore, "I’ll only take a glance... Hmph... This is a critical scrutiny!"
As she was leaving, she glared sharply at An Su again and warned, "Don’t you dare think anything weird...!"
After leaving that last remark, the Little Saintess fled as if making an escape, the bright moonlight tangibly hopping along the path she took, with the palm leaves gently quivering under the night breeze.
She left so fast...
Watching the retreating figure of Luojia, An Su was at a loss to what was going on with the head saintess, with only Luo Xiaohei fluttering in his hands, following Luojia directly. The Chaotic Saintess was very eager to learn the most advanced Radiance knowledge, for there was a sense of forbidden taboo to it.
"...Master An Su."
"Sigh..."
Enya was silent for a while, pondering over their conversation, gradually realizing what had happened. She cocked her head, blinking her amber eyes, hesitated for a moment before deciding to admit a mistake, and slowly said, "It seems she took the wrong book..."
"Meow..?"
The fluttering Luo Xiaohei quieted down, her eyes instantly became clear.
"What kind of book is it then?" An Su was rather shocked, for he had emphasized the need for study material.
"’Chaotic Imperial Capital Prohibited Books. Not to be read by those under sixteen.’" Enya said without expression.
An Su fell silent.
And Luo Xiaohei looked disappointed.
Such a boring bedtime read; she had finished it when she was just a primary school student, not taboo enough, and nothing like "How to Quickly Hunt Down Chaotic Cultists Radiant Manual" and others which were way more sensational, not to mention comparing with "Radiant Holy Scripture" or "Origin Theory of the Ceremony of Light," utterly unthrilling.
The Chaotic Saintess yawned out of boredom, instantly abandoning the name ’Luo Xiaohei’ and returning to the An Family, expecting An Su to have the original book in his possession as the mix-up meant the book must still be with him.
Meanwhile, An Su was immersed in silent contemplation.
He realized something,
That he seemed to...
Let the Chaotic Saintess read books of the Radiance, and let the Radiant Saintess read books of Chaos...
He had made an indelible contribution to both Mysticism of Chaos and the Esoteric Sect of Radiance, achieving a win-win for both sides.
He had completed the most perfect displacement reaction.
Upon realizing this, An Su thought quite highly of himself.
