All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

You are the one who stinks!

Lin Ruan didn't think it was wrong to argue with children. If it weren't for the fact that the smell on her body made her feel uncomfortable, she would have let those children know that the flowers were especially red today!

The system listened to her mumbling and suddenly realized: It had always found it difficult to communicate with Lin Ruan. Was it because it thought Lin Ruan's mental age was too old? Could it be that her mental age was only 7 years old?

Not sure, could be lower.

Look again.

The chattering sound attracted the elder with a vicious face. Lin Ruan knew from his memory that the elder's surname was Zhu.

"What's going on? What are you arguing about? Do you want to be beaten again?"

The gloomy voice scared the children like quails. The wounds on their bodies also showed what kind of life these children usually lead.

Elder Zhu twitched his nose, his expression becoming even more ferocious. "How old are you? You still poop in bed! Whoever did this, stand up!"

The children didn't dare to speak, they just looked at Lin Ruan, and assumed it was Lin Ruan. They really didn't understand why Lin Ruan turned into a black and smelly loach.

Elder Zhu naturally noticed their gazes and saw the foul-smelling object on the bed. He was reluctant to approach and simply gestured to the children nearby to pull it off the bed.

The children did not dare to resist or dawdle, and hurried over, enduring the stench and reaching out to touch Lin Ruan. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruan suddenly screamed, and the spiritual power bursting out of her body blew the children who came over to pieces.

"Huh?" Elder Zhu looked at Lin Ruan, whose spiritual power was out of control, in amazement. He used magic to restrain her and unceremoniously probed into Lin Ruan's body. "No wonder there's a seal. It makes me see clearly."

There were still traces of broken seals in Lin Ruan's body. "But this seal is also quite strange." Elder Zhu said to himself, "Forget it, I didn't expect that there would be a good seedling among this pile of garbage with mixed spiritual roots. He succeeded in drawing Qi into his body and cleansing his marrow right after breaking the seal. I'll clean it up later and test his spiritual roots again to see what level it is." As he said that, he picked up Lin Ruan and walked out the door.

Lin Ruan did not struggle. She was too weak now, so Elder Zhu could only throw her into a wooden barrel full of water like garbage.

Elder Zhu did not avoid it at all. Instead, he pushed Lin Ruan in and out like frying vegetables. Lin Ruan was choked and coughed repeatedly, but Elder Zhu turned a deaf ear to him. After a while, Lin Ruan and his clothes were clean, and there was no trace of strange smell.

Elder Zhu still carried her for three or five steps and came to a small room. There was a crystal ball in the room. He threw Lin Ruan over and said, "Put your hand on it, quickly."

The tone was quite urgent.

Lin Ruan obediently placed his hand on it, and two extremely bright lights lit up, one blue and one white. Elder Zhu was satisfied, but also felt a little regretful: "It turned out to be a top-grade spiritual root, but it's a pity that it's not a single spiritual root."

After sighing, he forced a smile towards Lin Ruan, not realizing how sinister it looked on his wrinkled, thin face. "Your name is Lin Ruan, right? Don't be afraid. Your good day is coming. I'll take you to the old sect leader later. He'll find you a master, and you won't have to suffer in the disbandment camp anymore."

The Sanyi Camp was where Lin Ruan had just been. The sect she was currently in was the Xingluo Sect, one of the two sects, five schools, and seventeen sects. It was a registered and prestigious sect, and she was an unknown among the seven sects, but she didn't want to engage in such shady activities in private.

They specifically kidnapped or bought children with spiritual roots. Those with medium spiritual roots were arranged into the Dinglu Camp, and those with low spiritual roots were assigned to the casual service camp. The children in the casual service camp had only to practice every day. Not only did they have to endure daily beatings and scolding, but if they did not achieve their practice goals, they would not even be able to eat one steamed bun a day.

When they grow up, they are controlled by poison and forced to collect all kinds of rare treasures for the sect in the name of casual cultivators. Therefore, the names of the children in the casual service camp are the most loose. Basically, the children are asked to draw lots, and they are named according to the surname and given name they draw.

As for those with good spiritual roots, they will be offered to the supreme elders in the sect. Those supreme elders are basically venerables in the Nascent Soul stage or the Fusion stage. They have reached the bottleneck stage and cannot break through or have insufficient qualifications and have no hope of breaking through. They rely on cultivating these children into golden elixirs and then refining and eating them to increase their lifespan by hundreds or thousands of years so that they can survive in the world.

When the old sect leader Wudaozi heard the report from Elder Zhu, he was overjoyed. They did not dare to touch the disciples they recruited at the Ascension Conference, but few of the kidnapped children were talented. Now that someone like Lin Ruan has appeared, his talent may have to wait until the Nascent Soul stage to be refined, and who knows how many more years of life will be added.

Wu Daozi immediately summoned Lin Ruan. He feigned a friendly demeanor and inquired about her situation. Lin Ruan remained cautious, yet feigned innocence. Seeing how well-behaved she was, Wu Daozi grew fond of her and decided to take her in as his disciple, personally teaching her.

The Xingluo Sect is divided into the Ming Sect and the An Sect. It is naturally impossible for Wudaozi to take Lin Ruan to the Ming Sect, but she was also named the "Saint" of the An Sect. Although the elders knew Lin Ruan's final fate, they did not take her seriously in their hearts, but they also put on the appearance of a kind elder. Lin Ruan's treatment was even comparable to that of the Ming Sect's direct disciples.

After becoming a saint, Lin Ruan's quality of life underwent a dramatic transformation. Wu Daozi arranged for her to live in a courtyard adjacent to his own, naming it the Saint's Courtyard. Not only did Lin Ruan live in an elegant courtyard, but Wu Daozi even assigned several maids to care for her. Lin Ruan understood that the so-called care was merely surveillance.

Wu Daozi accepted Lin Ruan as his disciple solely for her exceptional spiritual roots' rapid cultivation. He wanted to wait until she reached the Nascent Soul stage so he could refine a longevity elixir. Therefore, the technique he taught her was the "Qian Yuan Gong," which rapidly increased her cultivation while sacrificing her own foundation. Furthermore, Wu Daozi provided Lin Ruan with a large number of elixirs, all of which could rapidly increase her level. It wasn't that these elixirs were bad; everyone knew the power they accrued was ultimately futile. It was simply that Wu Daozi only wanted Lin Ruan to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and he couldn't wait even a day. He didn't expect her to become a powerful being, as a rebellion would be disastrous. Naturally, the weaker Lin Ruan's strength, the shorter the time it would take her to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Lin Ruan could not slack off in her cultivation. Instead, under the supervision of Wu Daozi and the maid, she was not even allowed to sleep, and could only meditate to rest. Not to mention eating, after stuffing herself with a bunch of pills, how could she have any appetite to eat.

But even with such a life, people would still envy her. Sometimes Wu Daozi would ask Elder Zhu to take her to see the children in the demobilization camp practicing. She would stand by, watching the whips fall on the children's bodies countless times, listening to their pleading, and feeling the jealous and hateful gazes of those children.

Lin Ruan knew that Wu Daozi did this on purpose in order to make her lose popularity and become isolated and helpless, but Lin Ruan didn't care, and even said that she was happy to see it happen.

The system didn't understand why Lin Ruan was torturing herself so much. Even if she could avoid the maids and hide in the space to eat, drink, and rest, she clearly could have lived a secretive life. Lin Ruan said, "Didn't I say I had to complete the group pet mission? Only by falling into the mud can I gain the audience's pity and be considered as the rightful recipient of care and kindness. I also want to complete the mission quickly, so I'm just using some tricks. I can still endure this little hardship."
