She bowed in front of them as she had tears in her eyes. ''Hello. My name is Iris. Thank you for helping this child. Listen to me and please do not deny what I will tell you now. You are a cultivator and you probably will be able to handle taking care of her. But as a cultivator, you must often cultivate and do tasks. You can't leave the child on her own and you can't take her with you. I am an orphan myself. I have no family and no children. Let this girl stay with me. I will adopt her. And if you like her, you can visit her as often as you wish. I promise I will give her a good and happy life. And do not worry about that woman, I can protect the child.''

Kendra looked at the girl that turned her eyes from one to another person. On the end, she nodded. ''You can become my new mom and she can still be my sister, right?''

Iris nodded and picked her up. ''Yes. She will be your sister forever. Come, mother will cook some nice food for you. Cultivator, what is your name?''

''Kendra Johnson.'' Kendra bowed and felt warm in her heart as she saw the two people aura turning into one. It was their destiny to meet. She connected the two auras and it became one. That means these two people will indeed live a good and happy life together.

Iris pinched the girl's face. ''And you, what is your name?''

''Mother, I mean other mother called me child. I never had a real name.'' The girl pouted as she said that.

The moment she finished, Iris, Kendra and many more people started crying. What kind of parent is that? The girl was already around five or six and never got a name.

Iris looked ta Kendra and bowed. ''Could you give me an honor giving the name to this child.''

After wishing the tears, Kendra thought for a moment and smiled. ''You are a good child and will have lots of love. I name you Kalila.'' There was a child she met a long time ago and she liked the name.

''Kalila. What a strange and beautiful name. It's quite unique. Does it has meaning?'' Iris looked at the small Kalila with a big smile.

''I heard it means 'heap of love'.'' Kendra patted the child's face and then smiled. ''Sister will come often to visit you. Grow up happily.''

''Yes.'' Kalila hugged Kendra quickly and was taken away by Iris while her friend couldn't believe that such a thing happened. 

Ignoring their flabbergasted expression, she pointed at the food. ''You better eat. I am hungry.''

Strangely, Iris food was actually quite tasty so Kendra ate her full and when she looked at the table she realized they ate all plates clean. When the servant came back, she opened her small bag and he shook his head. ''No. Iris is happy for the first time since I met her. Truly happy. Thank you so much. Kalila is now in the bath and after that, she will go to sleep. It's already late. Do you plan to see the competition? If yes, you should hurry. It will start soon.''

Kendra smiled at him and nodded. ''Then thank Iris for the food and tell her it was truly delicious.''

The servant bowed deeply and they left under the astonished gaze of the young man. But not only that man was looking at Kendra in wonder, but the two people also smiled. ''It is really her. But how comes she is here and what happened to her? She didn't recognize us when we passed her right now.''

''Brother, what if she lost memories? Do you know how much mother cried after she came back from the Palace? Remember her spirit stone?'' She looked at Kendra and suddenly became stiff. 

He held her mouth and pointed a few people that came closer. ''Stop talking. I fear there is a bigger story behind all this. Let's hurry. The competition is starting in a bit.'' 

The two summoned their flying clouds and flew away under gaping crowd while the few people that wanted to talk to them became angry. "They are gone again. Are they avoiding us?"

"Avoiding? You know that those two are judge s at the competition. They are rushing away as it will start soon. Or do you think they have eyes on their backs?" The young woman scolded and summoned her spirit animal. "We couldn't speak to judges, so this time it all about your strength."

A big black snake just nodded at her and suddenly looked in a certain direction. It could feel the same energy as its own.

"What is it? Someone strong?" The woman furrowed her eyebrows. This is competition for the spirit animals under first evolution. 

She saw the snake nodding and became furious. "So some of the strong competitors came after all. Didn't you stop them at the gate?"

Her eyes were directed at a small middleaged man with orange hair and green clothes.

He shrugged. "I am here with you, can I stop them over there. Do I look like God to you? I stopped most of them at the gate, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to come at all. Gates are protected by sacred magic and no I don't know how to control it." 

The woman narrowed her eyes. "Then why do we even need you? You are worthless if you can't stop a few cultivators from entering the gate." her words made no sense as h already explained the situation.

The little man snickered. "Oh? So you want to get rid of me now? Good. Then let's split. You go your way and I go mine from today, deal?"

"Deal!" The woman said that and the little man disappeared, leaving the rest of the group to stare at her speechlessly. "What?"
