Chapter 765: A New Home Part 3
"Sect master, did you really make this place yourself?" Kana asked. She was very surprised at how accommodating this place was. The first two floors had many bedrooms, while the top floor was like a master bedroom. Perfect for her and her handsome husband.
"Mmm… I wanted to make sure you and your family could live comfortably. And if you do not mind if you follow the path to the left here." The sect master motioned for everyone to follow. There was a small path that led to another part of the mountain. It was not a long walk. The path wrapped around for a few meters before coming to another small opening. "Here, I was planning to let Liu Na, Fei, Mei Ling, Fan Sengya, and Zhong Xiafan stay here. I still have high hopes for the five of you for the dragon festival, so I hope you can still train together and prepare for what is to come. And since if the four of them move, Little Ling would be by herself. I figured it was only right to allow her to move as well."
"That is perfectly fine!" Kana clapped her hands. These few had befriended her and did not push her away even when just being near her could have killed them. She would never send them away. She truly saw them as part of her family now. As Kana looked at the others, she spotted Mei Ling letting out a sigh of relief. Kana smiled and walked over to her, and pulled her into a hug. This small gesture not only startled Mei Ling but also made the anxiousness that Mei Ling had about Kana not allowing anyone near her to completely disappear. The familiar warmth that she had indulged in when Kana first showed up in her life that reminded her of her mother suddenly overwhelmed her. Tears began to fall as she started to cry. Kana said nothing and just gently ran her fingers through Mei Ling's hair allowing the girl to release all her tears.
Nana seeing this let out a long sigh. Her younger childhood friend was really not cut out for the path of cultivation. But back in their home village, there was nothing left for them. It was safer for Mei Ling to spend her years slowly progressing in cultivation than it was for her to stay in a village where she might be sold off for food or end up marrying some older man when she came of age. At least now, she was able to have a life that was of her choosing. While Mei Ling was able to take a life if needed, she was still young and longed for that motherly love that Kana gave her.
"I am glad you all like it." The sect master looked upon Kana and Mei Ling with eyes of that of a father looking at his daughters. The reason he became a sect master was to watch over the young ones and allow them to grow in a safe environment. So seeing scenes like this warmed his heart.
After nodding his head in approval, he turned and looked at Ming Xiafan and the rest, who still looked like a wreck after all the battles they had been through. "You all are all in the top of the outer sect and have no idea how to fight properly. I heard the reports that Elder Ning has been sending me this entire time, and I must say I am very disappointed. But this can not just be placed on your heads. It is also the sect's fault for not educating you properly on the importance of tactics in battle. Which is why from now on, the elders will all be conducting weekly training courses for all disciples from outer to inner sect."
"Sect master, does this mean we can get stronger?" The person who spoke up was Li Tangxin. The only one able to stand above both Qiao Song and Ming Xiafan when it came to family status.
"Yes, very much so. You will not only get stronger, but your ability to judge the situation during combat will also increase, making you able to analyze the situation better than your opponents. Normal cultivators use years of battle experience for such things, but as of late, unless we are fighting in tournaments or fighting against devil cultivators, we cultivators do not get much battle experience against anything but demonic beasts. This needs to change because even high ranking demonic beasts know how to come up with strategies to fight against us. Never look down on any opponent, no matter how weak they are. Like from what I hear that Little Yana, who had her true powers sealed, was able to defeat Qiao Song without even stepping foot onto the path of cultivation yet. All because she can still be considered a sword cultivator." The sect master explained. While some were excited, one person lowered his head in shame. He, who was only one step away from foundation establishment, was beaten by a girl who had her powers sealed.
"One last thing. Everything about Kana and her family is to be kept completely secret. If I find out that word has spread about their origins, I will punish all of you severely. This means you could even lose your cultivation or even your life." The sect master began releasing his killing intent on Qiao Song and his group, making all their faces pale. Each one knew it was best to forget everything they saw during this time. Especially since one of Kana's daughters did not have their powers sealed and could kill them before they even knew how they even died.
After saying their goodbyes, only Kana, her family, and her friends were left on the lone mountain peak. "Now then… Nana, I will let you and the other settle in. I am sure you will need to go back and get your things. I will take my family to go get settled in as well. We will meet up before dark and have a cookout."
"Okay. See you in a bit Kana. You also have a lot of explaining to do. Like how you got such a handsome husband and kids that are older than us."
