Bell walked back to the waiting area to wait for the next match. As for Li Tangxin, she began to head towards the spectator stands when a shadow loomed from overhead. "Little Tangxin, come with me."

Li Tangxin looked up at the familiar figure floating in the air and smiled. "Thanks, but I can sit with the others. I do not want to disturb you and your family."

"What are you talking about? You and Ming are my friends, so there is no disturbing going on. Come on, let's go." Kana did not wait for an answer as she floated down and grabbed Li Tangxin's hand, and flew off back to her seat. Li Tangxin blushed as she landed on the same seating platform as all the sect masters. She really felt out of place.

"Tangxin, sit with us. It will be fine." Yana said as she looked at the empty seat to her right. It was only then that Li Tangxin realized the whole front row was basically empty, and many sect masters were standing up. All their eyes were glued to her as well, causing her to lower her head.

"Don't scare my friend!" Kana yelled out as she turned and glared at the old men, causing the old men to quickly look away.

Li Tangxin did not know if she should laugh or cry. These old men who were normally full of pride were now like mice in the face of Kana. "Then I will sit next to Yana…." Li Tangxin said softly as she sat down by Yana.

Yana smiled and poked Li Tangxin in the side. "You did great. Those blocks were quite amazing. And that last counterattack was really good. If you wish to learn more about the sword, you can come over and train with us. Although… You might die…."

Li Tangxin shivered as she quickly shook her head. "I will follow my own path." Unlike the others, she was no monster. She wanted to one day be as strong as Kana and the rest, but she had to do it at her own pace. If she gets too old and dies in the process, that just means that was as far as she was destined to go. Plus, she now had someone she loved. She wanted to grow stronger one step at a time with the Ming at her side.

"Mm… This is also good. The sword is a lifestyle of its own. Those who walk the path of the sword will always walk a different path. Their understandings will also differ as well. As you slowly understand your sword and understand what it means to wield a sword, you will slowly grow stronger. I was the same way." Yana couldn't help but remember her past. She fought so many battles. She had almost died many times, but each time it was worth it. She would push herself to her limits and get revenge for her loss. Only when she defeated those she found stronger than herself, did she finally move on to a new stage.

Li Tangxin smiled and nodded her head. Yana's words held deep meaning, and she felt they were the right course for her. "I will keep your words to heart."

"Whaaaa! My baby has grown up so much!" Kana burst out into tears hearing Yana give such a wonderful speech. Creige pulled her into his embrace as he chuckled. Angelica and Rain both gave Yana teasing looks.

As for Yana, she blushed from ear to ear. She was just saying her ideals when it came to the sword! But the gazes were too much as she suddenly yelled out: "You are all bullying me again!"

Everyone began laughing. Kana laughed and cried at the same time. As for Li Tangxin, she found Kana's family interactions to be very heartwarming. They all got along well. Laughed together, cried together. She was sure that they fight together as well. A family in perfect harmony with one another, and the one who was pulling them all together was Kana.

Li Tangxin suddenly found Kana to be a mystery. She kept her family together. She was so powerful that no one in this lower plane could be her match, yet she did not throw around her power. She stayed low key not caring about anything but for those she cared about.

She was kind as well. Too kind for a world of cultivation. But it was this kindness that drew in the people around her. They all loved Kana in one way or another. Li Tangxin softly muttered: "She really is a strange person."

"Mama is a loving, caring person who will do anything for those who treat her well. She has always been like that. She will befriend anyone as long as they never cross her bottom line. Tangxin, thank you for being My Mama's friend." Yana whispered as she looked at Kana with a warm smile.

"No more like I should be the one saying thank you. After all, it is my pleasure to be able to be friends with Kana."

Back down in the waiting area, Bell had walked in on Ming Xiafan being teased by her daughter. "Little Ming, don't lose, or you will look like a weakling in front of your wife. I mean getting beaten up by a girl is a little...."

"Who are you to call me, Little Ming!? You look younger than me!" Ming Xiafan yelled out, not realizing he was talking to a girl over one hundred years old.

"Sara, leave him alone. You are old enough to be his great grandmother." Bell sighed. No matter how old she gets, her mentality is still that of a kid.

"Mama! Don't tell people how old I am!" Sara quickly turned around and yelled out while pouting. Bell chuckled and walked over and hugged her. "You keep acting like this, and you will never find someone you love."

"Humph! I am who I am. If they do not like me, I will just date one of Grandma's spirits too!"
