The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"Xinuo? Weren't you in Baihua Village? Why are you in town?"

Li Xuan looked at the person who had called him in surprise; Xinuo's appearance was quite unexpected.

Xinuo smiled and walked towards Li Xuan. As she approached, Li Xuan sensed something was wrong and gradually retreated in line with Xinuo's steps.

Xinuo showed no sign of stopping, still smiling, and getting closer and closer to Li Xuan.

Just as Li Xuan was about to lean against the wall, he finally couldn't help but shout, "Wait! What exactly do you want to do?"

Hino stopped and asked, "I want to ask you, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Xuan said innocently, "What can I do? Of course, I will practice the church's teachings and help more people get out of confusion and move towards a better and freer life."

Xinuo's smile faded, and he said seriously, "The day before yesterday, two middle-aged women came to Baihua Village, saying that you sent them. They said they needed to be baptized by the teachings of the Holy Church and then wanted to find a job in Baihua Village."

Li Xuan recalled the two middle-aged women who had come to him to submit their tasks the day before yesterday, and nodded, saying, "What's the problem? They passed my test, and their specific behavior was not problematic, so I naturally let them go and report."

"Then why did you make them sell tofu?"

"Tofu is a very high-quality food. It not only provides protein but also serves as a source of culinary inspiration for residents, potentially leading to the creation of even more delicious dishes. Why can't such a wonderful product be sold?"

Xinuo patiently retorted, "Where are the soybeans? Where are the beans? We don't have these ingredients, how can we make tofu? Without tofu, what will they sell?"

Li Xuan was surprised and said, "With such a large amount of farmland in Baihua Village, can't we set aside a plot specifically for planting beans? If we don't diversify the types of crops we grow, what are we going to do with the surplus grain just sitting in the warehouse?"

"I have my own pace; it's not the time to plant soybeans yet. Don't cause me any trouble!"

Li Xuan didn't want to get entangled with Xinuo over such a trivial matter, so he changed his tune directly: "Since they can't plant now, then give them a different job. In short, we can't let them be idle."

"Where am I supposed to find one for you? The land in Baihua Village is already saturated, and there are simply no jobs that are lacking!"

Li Xuan: "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to leave them with nothing to do but watch the villagers work? Or do you want them to be temporary workers in Baihua Village who can only help others?"

Xinuo interrupted him directly: "Enough! From now on, you are not allowed to send people to Hundred Flowers Village. I have my own plans for the development of the Holy Church. You cannot disrupt my overall plan because of your selfishness!"

Originally, Li Xuan didn't want to get entangled with Xinuo, but now that his principles were involved, this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully.

Why can Xinuo freely plant people in the Holy Church, but those who have passed Li Xuan's test are not allowed?

How can Li Xuan, who is now the Pope of the Church, be allowed to appoint a few people who can actually do the work?

"Impossible! There are still many people in the town who are devout believers and have already crossed the threshold to enter the church. They only need to be baptized by the church to receive the benefits of doing good deeds."

Hino firmly refused: "Impossible! What are you going to do with them after they've been baptized? Are they going to sell tofu again?"

Li Xuan shrugged. "Of course not. You don't even have beans, how can you make tofu? Let alone sell it."

"So, what are your plans for them?"

"This is such a small thing, you can just do it casually, right?"

Hino frowned, already somewhat unwilling to speak to the person in front of her.

"Call the boss out; I need to talk to him."

Li Xuan subconsciously said, "He's not here right now. If you have something urgent, I can pass on the message for you."

At this moment, Li Xuan thought it was a normal conversation, but Xinuo on the other end suddenly became sinister and terrifying.

It turned out that she had slowly lowered her head, and half of her face was shrouded in shadow.

"Oh? You mean the boss isn't here right now?"

Li Xuan seemed oblivious to Xinuo's change and maintained his previous tone, saying, "Yes, he has more important things to do. It's said that if he succeeds, he'll be showered with countless riches."

Before they knew it, Li Xuan and Xinuo were so close that they could launch a sneak attack on each other in an instant.

At this moment, Li Xuan also noticed something was wrong. He reminded him, "When did you get here? And why are you standing so close? What if the young lady here misunderstands?"

Hino said coldly, "Don't worry, no one will see what's happening here. The only ones who know about this conversation are you and me!"

Li Xuan slowly raised his head, looked at Xinuo's raised hand and smiled, "You're overthinking it. Many people know about our conversation right now, including your boss!"

Xinuo instantly raised her head, and the gloom that had been covering her face vanished, transforming her once again into a holy and radiant saint.

She withdrew her hand, a bright smile appearing on her face: "Oh? Wasn't he not here? How did he know about our conversation? Or did he plant surveillance devices on you before he left?"

Li Xuan didn't want to directly reveal his ability to create clones, so he gave a vague answer: "You're overthinking it. Besides, how would I know if he wanted to set up surveillance? Maybe you have Baili Muyun's surveillance methods on you?"

"On my body?"

Xinuo pondered. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be surprising if Baili Muyun were monitoring his subordinates.

However, she checked her physical condition many times and found no evidence of surveillance.

Under Li Xuan's guidance, Xinuo couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, there were all sorts of strange methods in the God's Space, and there might be surveillance methods she didn't know about that were monitoring her every move.

Thinking about it this way, Xinuo couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"That's all for now. In short, don't send any more people to the Holy Church. As for the baptism in the Holy Church, I'll have someone make the arrangements in the town, and the initiation ceremony can be completed on the spot without having to go all the way to Hundred Flowers Village."

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly: "Baihua Village isn't far to begin with, is it really necessary to make things so complicated? Besides, I already promised to help the people here find meaning in life..."

"This is something you agreed to yourself; it has nothing to do with me or the Holy Church. If I see any strangers appearing in Hundred Flowers Village, you will bear the consequences!"

After saying that, Xinuo quickly turned and left, giving Li Xuan no chance to continue negotiating.

Watching Xinuo walk away, Li Xuan had no choice but to find a way to fulfill his promise.

We can't let our sincerity vanish like water just because reality doesn't allow it.

"Although there are many job opportunities in Baihua Village, the town is so big that it's easy to find something to do..."
