"I was very happy to see you, but some of your actions made me unhappy." Lin Xingchen felt a little unhappy.

"Hey man, if you have any unpleasantness now, talk about it later. Hurry up and get ready. The High Priest of Light is already at the door." Owen reminded him nervously.

Just as Lin Xingchen was about to speak, news came from outside the door that someone had arrived. Immediately, everyone stood up straight, looking very serious.

Lin Xingchen was standing next to Queen Lydia. He didn't know the High Priest of Light and had never heard of him, but he still had to perform the most basic etiquette.

A soft light suddenly appeared outside the door. Seeing the light shining in, Lin Xingchen immediately cast several mental shields on himself.

At the same time, other magic shields were put up, and magic wands were held in their hands, looking like they were ready to take action.

First came the four accompanying guard knights, and then his acquaintance. Steve stepped sideways and led a glowing man into the council hall.

As this person walked into the council hall, everyone knelt down spontaneously and said, "Greetings to the High Priest of Light."

Lin Xingchen's position suddenly stood out and was very eye-catching. Even Queen Lydia knelt down. Except for the people brought by this beauty, he was the only one standing there.

"You are so brave! You don't even kneel when you see the spokesperson of the God of Light. Be careful that the gods will punish you, you bastard." If it weren't for the person he called the spokesperson of the God of Light, Steve would probably have cursed at Lin Xingchen.

However, Lin Xingchen would never tolerate such people. After hearing him calling himself a bastard, Lin Xingchen casually fired six ice arrows in response.

Unfortunately, they were all blocked by the pretentious girl. His action frightened many people on the battlefield. The four knights who were leading the way drew their swords and were about to chop at him.

Lin Xingchen was not willing to be outdone, and he clenched the fireball in his palm. The two sides were about to start a fight. The girl seemed to see that Lin Xingchen really dared to fight, so she shouted to stop.

"Stop! How can you attack the master? I'm very sorry, sir. I hope you don't blame the guardian knights for their ignorance." As she said this, she bowed to Lin Xingchen, but Lin Xingchen felt a little uncomfortable when this girl started talking.

Because he was being suppressed by an invisible pressure, in the short time it took for the girl to finish her greeting, Lin Xingchen's whole body was covered in sweat.

Fortunately, he withstood the pressure. Although the girl who wanted him to kneel down had no expression on her face, Lin Xingchen knew that this was directed at him.

"Since you know you are a guest, then according to the rules of our kingdom, no one except the nobles of our country is allowed to bring weapons into the council hall. Please ask your people to take their dining weapons and leave! Don't let someone who knows etiquette like you be impolite." Lin Xingchen took out a bottle of recovery potion without fear of embarrassment. After drinking it, he mocked the girl.

"How dare you speak to an adult like that!" Steve's vicious eyes could spit out fire. If eyes could kill, Lin Xingchen would probably have avoided his gaze.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you talk to this Duke? If you don't want to die, get out of my sight." He pointed at Steve and Lin Xingchen and cursed.

"Sir, please forgive Steve for her sins if she was wrong. May the God of Light be with you!" He then bowed to Lin Xingchen again.

However, Lin Xingchen didn't buy it. He didn't respond to her and just said hello to the queen and left.

"Sir, please stay. I wonder if I have offended you in some way that makes you hate the God of Light so much."

"Hehe... why can't you pretend anymore? Are you planning to get straight to the point?" Lin Xingchen's tone sounded like a street hooligan.

"Sir, although you and Steve are unhappy, I have no conflicts with you. Why don't you listen to me before leaving? After all, this is not the way to treat a lady!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... You knew that Steve and I had a grudge, but you pretended not to know each other at first, and you even wanted me to kneel down for you. Sister, are you so used to being so pretentious that you forget you are still a human being?" Lin Xingchen's remarks made many nobles present feel numb. Although everyone had heard about the discord between this person and the Church of Light, they still felt that Lin Xingchen, who was always kind, was still so mean. How big a grudge must he have.

"Sir, you are joking. The teachings of the Church of Light have always been about equality for all. How could I let you kneel down to me?"

"Wait! You just said that the doctrine of the Church of Light is that everyone is equal, right? I'm telling you that I've also read all the doctrines of your Church of Light. Are you sure you don't want me to kneel down?" Lin Xingchen is possessed by a nitpicking spirit today and he wants to argue to his heart's content.

"The girl who knew she had let the cat out of the bag could only nod in agreement."

"You don't want me to kneel, but you want others to kneel. So are you following your teachings or not?"

"They are not kneeling to me, but to the God of Light."

"So you are the God of Light? Why didn't you stop them when they knelt down to you? Didn't you stop them? Does that mean you think you are the God of Light on purpose?"

"I am the incarnation of the God of Light, so if they kneel down to me, it is equivalent to kneeling down to the God of Light." Although the girl still looked calm, Lin Xingchen could sense the rage she was getting from her tone.

"How interesting! You just said that the teachings of the God of Light teach that everyone is equal, but now you want others to kneel down and worship the God of Light. Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart? It's unnecessary!"

"Shut up! If you dare to slander the high priest again, I will duel with you." A knight nearby couldn't help but jumped out.

"I'm talking to your high priest. Who do you think you are to jump out and accuse me? Was the 19th article of your Church of Light doctrine that forbids anger and verbal attacks on others added by someone else later?" Lin Xingchen pointed at the flower-guarding knight's nose and cursed him.

Lydia and the others looked at Lin Xingchen with their mouths wide open. It seemed that this guy was not lying when he said he had read the teachings of the Church of Light. He could even tell you which article it was.

"You..." The knight kept asking for a long time but couldn't make any sense.

"Hurry back and read the doctrine before talking to me. You even need others to teach your own doctrine. I think you should just convert to the Dark Night Goddess. They don't need to memorize the doctrine." Lin Xingchen's words were so vicious.

"Sir, it seems that you have indeed read our doctrines. If so, you are considered a believer. Why do you still have such hatred towards the God of Light?" The girl's anger, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, was aroused by Lin Xingchen's letter to the Goddess of Darkness.

"I don't have a grudge against you, the God of Light. I have a grudge against you, people who like to play tricks. Each of you pretends to be a savior, but when others are in need, each of you is like a demon from hell and refuses to help unless you see the money. If I were the God of Light, I would have stepped on you to death long ago!" Lin Xingchen didn't say this to the girl, but pointed at Steve.

"Servants of the gods also make mistakes sometimes. Why do you have to hold on to these mistakes, sir? It shows that you are not broad-minded enough." The girl also had to fight back appropriately. Among the nobles she had come into contact with, each of them valued face and mind more than anything else. If someone said that someone was narrow-minded, she would probably fight with the other person.

"You really know me well. No one who knows me has ever said that I am broad-minded. Even Owen, the man who brought you here, I think has often scolded me behind my back for being narrow-minded." Lin Xingchen took the opportunity to retaliate and pulled Owen out to cheer him up.

"Sister, don't mention your doctrine to me. If one day you treat civilians for free and don't collect tribute from them, then I might think that your Church of Light is indeed a great church. But my impression of you is that you are a group of liars who pretend to be gods and swindle people for money."

"You want to preach in my Maple Leaf Territory. Unless all my Xingchen people are dead, or you produce something that convinces me, forget it." Lin Xingchen didn't want to argue anymore at this time. He could see that this girl's acting skills and ability to endure anger were really good, and there was no point in playing with her any more.

"I wonder what I should come up with to convince you?" The girl grasped the key point.

"Then how do you plan to convince me? Are you going to use your strength or some other method to suppress me and convince me like you did just now?"

"Or do you intend to show me your methods and make me feel that you are not lying? This high priest has his own laws and his own religious rules. Steve behind you has committed crimes both in my Maple Leaf Territory and in the Kingdom of Kulma. If your church had not stepped in, he would still be moving stones to pay off his debts."

"If you want to convince me, you must at least show me your sincerity. The church's divine authority should not override the kingdom's political power." Lin Xingchen regretted it after saying this. As expected, he lost his temper just now.

"I am indeed shocked by your opinion, sir. We never interfere with the political power of the major kingdoms. As for what Steve did in your territory, we are willing to bear the punishment."

Having said this, the girl glanced at the knight next to her and took out an envelope and handed it to Lin Xingchen. When he opened the envelope, he saw that there was a bank deposit slip with an amount of 100,000 gold coins inside.

"Since this is Steve's compensation for my territory, then I will accept it. It seems that there are still some sensible people in the Church of Light. They don't want scum like Steve who will only bring criticism to your church." Lin Xingchen did not forget to stab him in the back beforehand.

"Sir, you praised the church for having many people who are more upright than me. Steve will be punished by the gods. I came to the Kingdom of Kurma this time hoping to communicate with you and ask you not to drive our church away."
