Chapter 266 - 266.Father came to meet her

Kendra had many ideas on how to help them but then chose one simple.

She pointed at gaps and sighed. ''Should we make simple windows for them so they have a light but no wind rushing trough their home. Then need beds, tables, beddings and simple things... Kimi. Go and bring a few of our people here. I think in our warehouse we still have old tables and chairs. Old pots as well. They will need it for dried food.''

Kimi looked around and nodded. ''They will need some cooking gear, plates and bowls and a whole bunch of small things if they plan to live here. Hm... I will ask everyone for the advice.''

Isaa just hushed him with her hand. ''Please hurry. We need to wash her and change her clothes. She is running a fever, that stupid man has no idea how dangerous this is.''

Even tho they were already cultivators but in this world, they were just beginners that still could get hungry, thirsty, sleepy and sick. So for such weak person to rush all day around gathering food, drenched in sweat and then hit by these drafts and then fall asleep on the cold stone, must have been last straw. 

''Luckily he came to us.'' Cynthia started healing her and wrinkled her eyebrows. ''She is sweating too much. Her fever is running high. I can heal her but she can get sick if she stays in these dirty wet clothes.''

Kendra snapped her finger and picked her up from the floor lightly. Her clothes fell off her thin body and in the coordination, with each other they washed her using warm water that was actually joined power between them. The wet clothes were put aside as Isaa found clean clothes in one bag and soon Naila was again properly dressed.

Kendra snapped her finger and let her float near the fire while Cynthia stood nearby and started healing her. While later the two men came back with a bunch of wood. Tao stood like frozen seeing Naila floating in the air while the women stood nearby and looked at her in worry.

He dropped the heavy load in corner of the cave carelessly and in a swift moment appeared next to her body. On his face couldn't be seen any emotions but his eyes were full of worry. Isaa almost snapped but Kendra calmed her down. ''Breathe, breathe... I told you, he has no idea. Remember father doing stupid things before marrying mother?''

Isaa rolled her eyes. ''Seriously. Are all men like that? Father is usually extremely smart, but sometimes something stops him from thinking straight. Luckily he has our mother in his life or who knows what kind of disaster he would produce.'' 

Kendra nodded. ''There is an old saying I heard a long time ago.  A good man has a good woman that holds him. Then there is another: Three corners of the house holds a woman. Hard job, isn't it?''

Isaa chuckled. ''Knowing you, you will hold whole house and husband. He he he.''

Kendra thought about that and shrugged. ''If he is good to me yes, if not I will kick him out. Simple as that.'' 

Suddenly a voice could be heard. ''Who will you kick out?''

Kendra turned her head to look for an unfamiliar voice while Isaa looked at her in surprise. ''What is it?''

She shook her head and smiled. ''I am thinking about something. Kimi takes a long time. I will go and check on her. You stay here and make proper holes for windows. Cynthia, you watch over Naila and Sirius you help that stupid man to close the walls and make room. When the winter come, this place will become icy. Sigh...''

Tao looked at her with astonishment while Sirius started laughing. ''I guess no one told you. Kendra is our chief. Do not take her as a young person. She just has a child's body, but she is no child at all. Her mind surpasses ours greatly. Don't ever look down on her.'' 

His last words had hints of threat and when Tao turned his head he could see Sirus looking at him with a serious expression. ''I mean it. Our sect is very sensitive to her. She is someone who will surpass us all when she goes out. She is someone who will offer the helping hand, but if you ever betray her, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Now come. We have thinsg to do.''

Tao turned his head one more time towards the entrance and sighed. 

Outside Kendra flew higher to the top of mountain and crossed her arms. ''Show yourself.''

A chuckled came near her but she didn't even flinch. With a sigh, a beautiful man appeared in front of her and smiled brightly at her. ''You must be his father.'' 

Her calm words stunned her amazingly. ''How do you know? We don't even look the same!''

''Of course, not. He is cuter. You are just... ok.'' She gazed at him and then rolled her eyes.

The man scratched his head as he looked at her in confusion. But this started laughing loudly. ''Oh, that is the reason why he asked me don't I want to have grandchildren as cute as him?''

As he laughed Kendra rolled her eyes and sighed. ''What are you doing here? And how did you enter? Should I lock the door for the next few years so you two being wont to come in so often?''

He shook his head. ''He will be pissed off if you do that. No no no. I just wanted to meet you and will be gone soon. That's it.''

Kendra smirked evenly at him. ''You met me, now bye bye.'' She snapped her fingers while waving and he disappeared. 

When he realized what happened his mouth went bright agape. ''She has just that little bit of punny power and she can do things like that? Son... Who is she actually? No, no, no. Proper question is to ask, what si she?''

Taskmaster sighed while looking at old scrolls and a small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. ''That my dear father... I leave to you to find out. You are bored, go investigate. Her real background. Now let me learn. She will get upset if I don't become stronger when she comes out. Go go go.''

Tarok La turned his head one more time and saw his son for the fist time for centuries truly being immersed in something. And rolling power was that child. He nodded. ''I will be back with news. But don't know when. Will you be fine?''

Taskmaster just grumbled while reading it and he disappeared. 

the moment his father was gone, Taskmaster looked one more time at the spot where his father stood and sighed. ''Father, I hope you can find her real background, those powers... Must have had some background. Real background.''

Two people hiding in subspace looked at each other and rushed to the other place in a hurry. This is bad, really bad...
