"An Orphanage?" Alex asked. "What are we doing here?"
"I'm just meeting up with the kids," Talia said. "I come here every now and then when I have the time, so in a way, it's kind of a hobby of mine, I suppose."
"I see, let's enter then," Alex said and walked into the old orphanage with Talia.
As soon as they entered, the people inside greeted Talia. She seemed to come here enough times for people to recognize her.
"Sister Talia!" a few of the kids ran toward her in a jubilant manner.
"Oh wow, look at you all. You've grown so big," Talia said. "Just a little bit older and you guys can join the sects too. Which sect do you want to join?"
"The Cloud Iron sect."
"We want to follow you, sister Talia."
The kids answered.
From what Alex could tell, the kids were mortals with absolutely no cultivation base at all. "Why aren't they cultivating? Do the people here not teach them?" he asked the girl.
