Compassion Pavilion was located in the mountains far north of Bainbridge. Due to its remote location, only a few people knew about it.
In the meantime, on the mountain road, an off-road vehicle was driving leisurely.
Matthew was puzzled while sitting in the passenger seat. “Leanna, are you trying to kill me by bringing me into the woods?”
After his consultation hours at Renew Pharmaceuticals ended, virtual-novel.net came to virtual-novel.net excitedly and told him virtual-novel.net had someone to introduce him. Ultimately, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to be dragged along with her.
“Nonsense! I’m taking you to meet someone. She recently returned from a trip and has sent someone to inform me that virtual-novel.net wishes to invite you to virtual-novel.net house.”
To Leanna, that person was an expert. She wanted Matthew to meet that person because virtual-novel.net worried Fabien might hurt him.
If that person could help Matthew, then his safety could be guaranteed. This was also the main reason for this person’s return to Bainbridge.
“Meet someone? Who?” Matthew was quite surprised to hear that because it was the first time Leanna had brought it up.
“Yeah, but people usually call virtual-novel.net Hildegard Peregrine. When virtual-novel.net traveled back then and came to Eastshire, virtual-novel.net passed by our home and mentioned that fate brought us together. When I was still a newborn, virtual-novel.net was the one who gave me my name!”
However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but wonder when virtual-novel.net mentioned Hildegard Peregrine.
The surname ‘Peregrine’ must mean that virtual-novel.net is an important person from the Dao Sect…
Why would virtual-novel.net want to invite me to virtual-novel.net house?
After a long ride, the car finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.
If one looked up, the top of the mountain seemed shrouded in a thin layer of mist that wouldn’t fade away even after a long time. Even a sliver of a martial art vibe could be detected.
At a glance, Matthew could tell that the mountain had spirits, and it instantly intrigued him.
After walking for 30 minutes on the stone steps, the duo finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
Soon, a simple Daoist Temple entered their line of sight. The temple wasn’t as grand and spectacular as they had imagined; the walls were less than six feet high, and one could see the entire structure at a glance.
Standing beside Matthew, Leanna explained, “Madam Peregrine has a quiet and simple personality. She likes to be away from complexity and rarely entertains guests. That’s why it feels a little deserted here…”
In response to that, virtual-novel.net nodded along.
High spiritual achievers typically exhibit this behavior. It is not only a preference but also a state of mind…
At that thought, virtual-novel.net entered the yard with Leanna.
Before they walked further, a woman in plain clothes showed up before them.
Matthew felt as if someone had just materialized out of thin air and immediately became wary.
What kind of a terrifying trick is that?
Even though the woman didn’t mean any harm, virtual-novel.net exuded a vaguely terrifying aura. Subconsciously, virtual-novel.net clenched the Bloodreaper in his hands.
Meanwhile, Leanna, who stood beside him, sensed his abnormality. “Don’t be nervous. This is Birgitta…”
While saying that, virtual-novel.net ran up to virtual-novel.net happily and clutched the woman’s arms.
“Birgitta, this is my friend, Matthew Larson!”
She had a calm expression, starkly contrasting Leanna’s bubbly personality. However, Birgitta merely had a blank face.
“Greetings, Mr. Larson… I am Birgitta. Madam Peregrine has been waiting for you two. Please follow me…” Birgitta put virtual-novel.net palms together and bowed to virtual-novel.net in the Daoist way.
In response, Matthew mirrored virtual-novel.net actions.
Leanna, on the other hand, made a funny face at him. It was obvious that virtual-novel.net found joy in watching virtual-novel.net being embarrassed.
Once Birgitta turned around to lead the way, Leanna quietly walked up to Matthew and uttered in a subdued voice, “Don’t mind her. That’s virtual-novel.net personality, but she’s, in fact, very kind. She also takes good care of me…”
Matthew nodded at virtual-novel.net remarks.
Hmm… Its pretty clear that Birgitta had a cold exterior but a warm heart.
Following Birgitta, the duo crossed the yard.
Autumn was ushering in, painting the lush green leaves in yellow hues. Leaves fall off the tree branches along with the wind. Under a big tree, another woman in plain clothes was slowly cleaning the fallen leaves.
When they were halfway there, virtual-novel.net glanced at virtual-novel.net curiously.
Judging from their appearance, that woman looked about the same age as Birgitta.
Under close inspection, Matthew realized that the fallen leaves would gather around every time the woman swept the ground.
It is the external control of the nimbus, the symbol of a master!
This is mind-boggling! In addition to the disciple being a grandmaster: even the nun sweeping the floor achieves an advanced grandmaster level!
How is that even possible?
Having that thought in mind, virtual-novel.net hurriedly withdrew his gaze. It must’ve been rude and inappropriate for virtual-novel.net to stare at a grandmaster!
