News of Saintess Heatherine's new dress spread quickly throughout the entire temple, as her new dress was far more dazzling than her previous white gauze robe.
The queue before the Gate of Fortune was still ongoing, and Heather stood confidently inside the gate, waiting for the cultivators in the inner sanctum to choose the scriptures they wished to study.
She has stood quietly in this position for countless years, but has never attracted as much attention as she does today.
As Elisa's uncle, Wenger Steinlia of the Knights' Hall naturally knew that Heatherine had agreed to give Elisa the veil that represented her former image. He had initially thought this was Heatherine's way of yielding to the Elders.
But judging from Heather's current appearance, it won't be long before this dazzling tulle dress becomes the saint's new image!
“Heather, your new clothes are really…” Wenger trailed off, unsure how to continue. Heather hadn’t officially stepped down from her position as a saint yet, so he couldn’t criticize her.
"Wenger! Mind your own business and don't make trouble for yourself!" But Wenger's half-sentence was met with a cold warning from Heatherine.
The two had worked together in the inner palace for so long, and Wenger had heard Heatherine's cold words for many years, but Wenger had never felt that Heatherine was as domineering as she was today. He even felt that his aura had been completely crushed by Heatherine.
"You... Heatherine, your strength... has improved?" As a knight commander, Wenger's level was already quite high. He didn't think his feeling just now was an illusion, so there was only one possibility left... Heatherine had become stronger.
"This is truly terrible news." Wenger suddenly felt that the Stellia family's sacrifice of so much to make Elisa a candidate for sainthood might have been a mistake.
However, Wenger made another mistake: he failed to relay this terrible news to the Temple Elders in a timely manner, and the latter, two days later, arrogantly summoned Heather to the council hall.
"Heatherine, who gave you permission to wear white? What right do you have to wear such a sacred color?" Elder Charles immediately flew into a rage as soon as Heatherine entered the room.
Because that white gauze dress looked so...holy; such clothes should be worn by candidates for sainthood.
"Who said I can't wear white? Who has the right to forbid me from wearing white?" Heatherine spoke coldly, without any anger or irritability.
She suddenly realized how incredibly boring it was to argue with these people. How had she managed to sit at this table for so many years?
“White is the color of purity. As an ‘unclean’ person, you are not qualified to wear a white veil. You must take it off immediately and then repent for your sins.” Grand Knight Paige also began to rebuke Heatherine.
What if I don't?
Heather lowered her eyelids and said indifferently. Her calm expression was somewhat similar to that of Elder Ashif, who was dozing off.
"Then go and join your teacher! You will become a sinner of the temple and be punished by the gods!" Charles shouted excitedly, as if he were the embodiment of the gods, about to punish Heather, this heretic.
Paladin Sif said with pity, "Hatherine, don't be so stubborn, change your clothes! It's better for everyone!"
Heather crossed her arms again, coldly watching these hypocritical individuals in the hall who spouted righteousness and righteousness.
Elder Ashif finally opened his eyes and spoke: "Hazelyn, was this dress given to you by Qin Mo?"
Heatherine looked at Ashiff coldly, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"Heather, don't lose yourself. You are still a member of the Temple... Change your clothes!" The old and frail Ashif said before closing his eyes. In his heart, the interests of the Temple were paramount, and personal wishes could be sacrificed at any time.
"I refuse!"
Heatherine's decisive and straightforward answer surprised everyone in the hall; this was the first time anyone had dared to oppose the Grand Elder's decision.
"Heatherine, burn this wicked dress right now, or...we'll burn it for you!"
"Buzz!"
Everyone felt a "buzz" in their consciousness, and then they saw a dazzling light that was pure to the extreme, unlike anything they had ever seen before.
