"I know we're putting you in a difficult position, but at the very least I need to know the reason, so I can judge whether we have the ability to take her away." Bai Ruozhu said.
Ayi and her husband Ali exchanged a look, and in the end Ayi gritted her teeth and began to speak.
"Every once in a while, the clan will choose a Saintess, all picked from girls around five or six years old, and then they start 'cultivating' them. But that so-called cultivation isn't what it looks like on the surface, especially in recent years—we understand less and less, we don't know what they're doing to the Saintesses. Quite a few Saintesses have died one after another. When our people went to question them, the elders explained that the goddess didn't choose her. They say it's all for the sake of breaking the Curse on our clan, so everyone can live to a hundred; sacrificing a small number of people is worth it, and they hope the clan can understand."
