Make an exception

Ruan Zhaozhao: "System?"

Her reaction was too calm and composed.

The system had a bad feeling; this time, the host seemed difficult to deal with. "Host, you accidentally fell into this small world while on the spirit ship. You must want to go home, right? As long as you complete the mission, I can help you get home."

Ruan Zhaozhao didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. "My father has great magical powers. I can wait for him to come and pick me up. Do you want to possess my body? Otherwise, how can you speak in my mind?"

This child is a little difficult to comfort.

The system earnestly persuaded, "Host, I am a system that can help anyone realize their wishes. You just tried to call your father, but he didn't appear because this little world isn't in Beep Beep. Without my help, you won't be able to reunite."

Ruan Zhaozhao: "What's 'beep beep'?"

The system replied perfunctorily: "Some words are not meant for the host to hear, so they will be automatically muted. Host, do you want to know? If you want to know, then quickly complete the task."

Ruan Zhaozhao did not respond.

A bad feeling slowly crept into the system. She was only five years old, wouldn't she be too difficult?

...No way?

Yu Xiaoye put his chaotic thoughts aside and simply asked, "Zhao Zhao, do you know where you live?"

Ruan Zhaozhao shook his head.

Yu Xiaoye: "Do you still remember which road you took with your family?"

Ruan Zhaozhao pointed upwards.

Yu Xiaoye scratched his head.

Ruan Zhaozhao reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Brother Xiaoye, I'm still hungry."

Two ugly oranges weren't enough to fill their stomachs. Yu Xiaoye hadn't gone out to dig bamboo shoots that morning, but luckily there were some meat and vegetables left in the kitchen yesterday. Looking at the sky, it was time to cook for his senior brothers and sisters, so he stood up and said, "Zhao Zhao, wait here for me. I'll go cook."

Ruan Zhaozhao nodded vigorously.

Seeing that Yu Xiaoye was not outside the door, Ruan Zhaozhao spoke to the system: "What is the mission you mentioned?"

There is a show!

The system became alert. "The place you are in is called 'Jueqing Sect'. There are four monks who will become super villains in the future. You can leave here as long as you influence them."

Ruan Zhaozhao wrinkled his nose.

The system thought she was backing down because of the difficulty. "This mission is easy. Every villain has a soft spot deep down in their heart. As long as you find it..."

"My father once said that I'm the most powerful villain in the world." Ruan Zhaozhao was very dissatisfied. "Are you saying that they can become as powerful as me in the future?"

The system froze as if struck by lightning.

Fortunately, it has received professional training. "Yes... yes, so you have to influence them and prevent them from becoming villains."

Ruan Zhaozhao snorted, "Do you think being a villain is easy? Fine, I'll take this mission."

The system breathed a sigh of relief.

When I came to my senses, something seemed strange.

After a while, Yu Xiaoye brought a bowl of noodles and said, "Zhao Zhao, there's not much left in the kitchen. You can eat first."

Ruan Zhaozhao was really hungry. After eating, he leaned against the cushion to rest.

"Brother, I remember where my home is."

Yu Xiaoye's eyes lit up, "Then tell your brother, I'll take you home."

Ruan Zhaozhao blinked and said, "My home is in the city that never sleeps."

Yu Xiaoye searched his mind for a moment, then said in frustration, "I've never heard of 'The City That Never Sleeps.' Zhao Zhao, how did you get here?"

Ruan Zhaozhao: "I don't know. Dad told me I'd get there after a good sleep, but when I woke up, I saw you."

Yu Xiaoye's heart skipped a beat. "Zhao Zhao, does your father love you?"

"It hurts." Ruan Zhaozhao nodded, "It hurts so much!"

Yu Xiaoye felt that she didn't seem to understand what he was saying. After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhao Zhao, when your brother asks you, just nod and shake your head. Does your father usually beat you?"

Ruan Zhaozhao nodded.

A good villain needs to be able to take a beating, and her father was beaten even worse by her. After the competition, the father and daughter applied medicine together.

Yu Xiaoye's heart was in suspense. "Does your father give you food?"

Ruan Zhaozhao shook his head.

The demons in the city that never sleeps don't eat rice. Instead, they eat the magic fruits grown on the magic trees. The smallest one can satisfy their hunger for three years.

Yu Xiaoye's eyes were blurred with tears. "Is this your first time eating noodles?"

Ruan Zhaozhao nodded vigorously.

It was the first time she ate food cooked by mortals, and it was quite delicious.

Yu Xiaoye's eyes fell on Ruan Zhaozhao's bright clothes. "Zhaozhao, have you worn this dress before?"

Ruan Zhaozhao followed his gaze and looked at her own clothes.

She shook her head.

This time she went out to play, and her father prepared a box of new clothes for her.

Now Yu Xiaoye was sure.

She was abandoned by her own father!

Being beaten, starving, wearing old clothes, and leaving home for the first time.

This so-called "city that never sleeps" must be fake. Yu Xiaoye had heard that some aristocratic families, even if they can afford to feed their own people, would abandon the so-called "useless" women in the family.

But most of the time they are taken care of after they become adults, or they are completely useless.

Zhao Zhao is so young...

Yu Xiaoye asked cautiously, "Zhao Zhao, are you feeling unwell?"

Ruan Zhaozhao nodded slowly.

Her father said that her mother was attacked by a group of "famous and upright people" when she was pregnant with her, so she had a very weak constitution when she was born.

A sick abandoned child!

Yu Xiaoye looked at Ruan Zhaozhao without saying a word. Suddenly, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frosted glass, and his nose started to run.

Ruan Zhaozhao tilted his head.

"System, what happened to him?"

The system blushed: "He seems to have misunderstood something. But host, I feel this is good for you."

Yu Xiaoye raised his sleeve to wipe his face.

It seemed like Zhao Zhao didn't realize he was abandoned, but he couldn't show it.

This now made him have to think about another question: Ruan Zhaozhao was abandoned and had nowhere to go. Could she stay in the Jueqing Sect?

But a voice slowly came into the hall: "She can't stay."

Yu Xiaoye recognized that it was the voice of the eldest senior brother.

He looked at Ruan Zhaozhao with compassion and said, "Big Brother, if I leave, can you let her stay?"

Before he finished speaking, another voice transmission came. Ning Guanyin teased, "Silly Junior Brother, even if you leave, so what? Master's fifth disciple is you, and we won't leave her behind."

Then came Su Yuhan's voice: "Death is also a place to go."

Gong Ziyu also popped up: "This little kid is pretty good, throw the body in my yard."

Yu Xiaoye still wanted to argue.

When the words came to his lips, he thought about how his four senior brothers and sisters were not easy to talk to.

But is it really just possible to drive Zhao Zhao away?

At this moment, the corner of his clothes was tugged.

Yu Xiaoye turned around and saw Ruan Zhaozhao pointing at the altar. "Brother, why is it so shiny up there?"

The clay statue of the ancestor on the altar is glowing!

Yu Xiaoye was stunned.

The next moment, the leader's tablet also lit up, and a beam of light shot out from it and hit Ruan Zhaozhao's eyebrows.

Ruan Zhaozhao touched his forehead but felt nothing.

Four figures appeared in front of the hall at the same time.

Four people rushed into the hall and stared at the clay sculptures and tablets whose power still lingered, with different expressions.

The system reminded Ruan Zhaozhao: "Host, these are the four villains you need to convert."

Ruan Zhaozhao looked at the four people.

The four have their names above their heads.

The man in black with messy hair is called Wen Renyi, the eldest senior brother;

The man in white with a pale face is called Gong Ziyu, the second senior brother;

The third senior brother looked like the "famous and upright" one he had seen in the water mirror, his name was Su Yuhan;

The beautiful sister in red is the fourth senior sister, Ning Guanyin.

There is a line of words floating above each person's name.

Ruan Zhaozhao: "System, what is 'Causal Killing Value'?"

System: "You can think of this as the degree of their evil transformation. Once it reaches 100, they will completely transform into devastating villains."

The "Cause and Effect Killing Value" of the four people is around 60.

Ruan Zhaozhao: "Then what's my 'Karma Killing Value'?"

The system didn't expect her to ask this and was stunned.

Ruan Zhaozhao was very confident: "It must be one hundred."

Wenren also walked to the altar and waved towards the tablet of the headmaster.

A translucent scroll unfolded before my eyes.

It records the disciples accepted by the successive leaders of the Jueqing Sect.

A new name suddenly appeared behind the four people: Ruan Zhaozhao.

Wen Renyi's brows knitted together, "How is this possible?"

Gong Ziyu glanced at Ruan Zhaozhao with curiosity, "Where did this little girl come from? How could she have won the favor of the Grandmaster?"

"What's even stranger is that Master actually accepted her as his disciple." Su Yuhan pushed his glasses. "How long has it been since you and I saw his spirit appear?"

Ning Guanyin simply walked to the tablet, exhaling like orchids, "Master, please come out and explain to your disciples."

There was no movement at all.

The four of them looked at each other.

Of course, the master's spirit will not appear.

Because this is done by the system.

"The previous leader of the Jueqing Sect could have gone to the plane where their ancestor was to cultivate, but he chose to be reborn as a human in this world and is no longer here."

Yu Xiaoye mustered up his courage and said, "Brothers and sisters, no matter what, Zhao Zhao is now a disciple of the Jueqing Sect, she can stay."

The four of them looked at him in unison.

Yu Xiaoye shrank his neck.

Ning Guanyin's laughter broke the silence, "Xiao Ye, this little girl was accepted by Master as an exception by the Grandmaster, and she doesn't even need to enter the Dao. But you must enter the Dao before you can join the Jueqing Sect. Don't you have any resentment in your heart?"

Yu Xiaoye shook his head: "No."

Su Yuhan stared at his face, trying to find some hypocrisy in it.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find it.

So he sneered in anger, "Yu Xiaoye, I'm fine."

The four of them walked up to Ruan Zhaozhao.

Ning Guanyin looked her up and down and said, "She's just an ordinary little girl. Master is truly kind-hearted, even in death."

Gong Ziyu bent down and pinched Ruan Zhaozhao's cheek with a smile, "What a pity, fellow disciples shouldn't kill each other, otherwise it would be very cute if it was made into a ghost doll."

Ruan Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows: "Is it made into a ghost doll just for the sake of being cute?"

Gong Ziyu was stunned.

Wen Renyi looked at Yu Xiaoye and said, "Although she is already a disciple of the Jueqing Sect, she was brought back by you. From now on, you will be the one to take care of her. You don't need to tell us anything that is not related to life or death."

After saying that, he left first.

When the remaining three saw him leave, they did not stay either.

Only after they left did Yu Xiaoye feel relieved.

He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked at Ruan Zhaozhao with concern, "Zhaozhao, don't be afraid, the brothers and sisters are still very good people, they just look a little... weird."

Ruan Zhaozhao was confused: "I'm not scared."

What a strong child.

Yu Xiaoye picked up the bowl and chopsticks, "Zhao Zhao, you will be a disciple of the Jueqing Sect from now on. Let me take you around the sect."
