Chapter 263 - 263. The two pople crossed the path

Kendra was sitting on the cloud and watching what was happening, while Isaa quietly whispered. ''Shall we help?''

But seeing Kendra's serious expression she sighed. ''You want them to handle the situation alone?''

Kendra nodded. ''The formation I made became a bit bigger as I moved it so that they could plant their vegetables. That woman, Naila, I am interested in her. I can feel that her powers are not even large, but she can control her power better than anyone else. If she really gets out the Illo's sect, we can invite her to us. She can learn from us and we can learn from her. Of course, if she is willing.''

Isaa stared at her in astonishment as they saw the young woman jumping from one branch to the other like is the normal path. ''She indeed has some skills. Guildmaster...''

Kendra shrugged. ''Of course, he has to approve it first. He is a soul seeker himself. Remember those? He can control normal humans, but not cultivators over the tenth rank. So in the middle realm, his powers mean nothing. But he probably uses his power to check their real deep thoughts, fears and decisions. Kind of nasty things to do all the time. I prefer to let people's minds in peace.''

''But if that is not his main power, what is it?''Isaa was curious.

Kendra chuckled. ''He has maxed all the powers existing. Actually, he could have become even higher being a long time ago if he never met my birth mother. Sigh. I do not know should I be angry at them or laugh about their naivety. Even tho I am their child, somehow I fell I have to teach them some things about parenthood. Weird, right?''

Isaa shook her head. ''I wish mine and your parents lose their powers completely for at least one human lifetime. They should live like common humans at least once.''

''I have even more devious thought. Making them become babies and grow up in a normal farmer family. What do you think about how would they handle that situation? Uhm, you are giving me all these naughty ideas. Isaa, you changed.'' Kendra poked Isa's arm and they started playing around while under them the whole hell broke.

The guilds that had females, suddenly sent all females inside the city to be protected as they realize that only those with a pure mind could stay inside. The war between power users of few clans that Illo gathered and the city was about to erupt.

Naila rushed far away towards her hideout. She found a strange cave inside the mountain from the flattest side. So no normal human or even cultivator could come there if they wanted. The stones were razor-sharp in surroundings so no one would be able to grab the edges. Not only that, but the entrance was also hidden behind big stone so no matter who looked at it, no one would be able to find it.

She used her plant power to grow a few bushes here and there and used her own inherited power of Light Steps to just jump from one bush to another upwards. Not even normal nature cultivators could do that in that stage of cultivation. 

She jumped inside the cave and smiled brightly. ''Free. Ahhh it feels so good.''

From corners of the cave came deep voice making her go on guard from one moment to the other. ''This place is amazing. Sorry. I followed you before and thought you wouldn't come back so I planned to use it as my own hideout. Please forgive my intrusion.''

She came a few steps closer as she recognized the voice. ''Senior Tao? How did you come up?''

The man stood up from the stone and came to the light that shone through the cracks of the cave and chuckled. ''I gained my power back. I use air, so I can fly around. That's why this place is perfect for me to hide.''

Naila stood there and sighed. ''To tell you the truth I really like this place. I am not that rude to kick you out as long you promise me you won't bring those people up. Here is indeed a perfect spot to hide everyone from our sect, but at the moment they are planing something really stupid. And I do not wish to be part of it.''

The man silently stared at her and then just accept her request. ''I understand. The cave itself its huge and has many side caves. If you do not mind I will take one of the caves on the opposite side of the one u chose. I saw your things inside but didn't touch anything.'' He rose his hands already in advance.

She chuckled. ''Well, as much I know we all need things, but I do not think you need female underclothing and few trinkets. Senior. I plan to go over winter to the city. I made a house with two rooms as I hoped that one of the people form our sect will join me in. But they all... sigh. I have no idea what is going on with this world, but it has really strange vibrations. Normal people chose to become like that...''

He sat down and looked at the fire he just prepared. ''Actually, I fear it's worse than that. The Grounding Fairy that made this world, made a huge mistake, not including yin and yang of any world. So the bloodthirstiness that supposed to come from natural enemies of all those creatures that she planted here has been enhanced by this world multiple times and turned to our form of life as we are the only predators here. So the emotions became multiple times even more enhanced.  Good ones and bad ones as well.''

''But how comes I didn't change like them?'' She wondered while she tapped her chin in thoughts.

he chuckled as he saw her cute expression. ''You changed as well. Before, you were quite introvert, hiding in cultivation caves for most of your life. But here you want to have friends and talk to them. You even have a feeling of righteousness and feel like you need to help everyone and anyone. Right?''

Her mouth almost dropped as he spoke more and more. ''How do you know?''

''Because I am the same. I really disliked being around people, but here I even planned as well to go and join the city only not to be completely alone. I hoped the sect would change their mind and I could stay, but their doings and lives became more and more disgusting as time passed. Now I just want to be far from them.'' He put one more log on the fire and as the sparks flew around Naila got an idea...
