Chapter 2104 Hildegard Peregrine


    The length of the courtyard was about 50 feet, so it didn''t take long for the trio to reach the main hall. A


    que that read ''Compassion Pavilion'' was hung above the main entrance. After stepping into the


    main hall, they could see three deity statues. Although the facilities in the hall were imprinted with


    traces of time, they were still spotless and clean.


    It was fate that they could enter a Daoist temple, so Matthew put his palms together and bowed at the


    deity statues to show his respect. After that, he picked up the pace and caught up with Birgitta and


    Leanna.


    After passing through the main hall, they arrived at the backyard of Compassion Pavilion. The most


    conspicuous among them was the magnolia tree in the courtyard. Since the courtyard was small, the


    tree looked exceptionally tall and broad. Autumn might be here, but it still stood tall with lush green


    leaves.


    A woman was sitting under the magnolia tree. Her aura had seemingly integrated with the magnolia


    tree. She was as tranquil as water and as light as a feather. That was a posture of a person who


    obtained high achievements in the spiritual realm.


    Without a doubt, Matthew could tell instantly that she was Hildegard Peregrine, whom Leanna had


    mentioned. When he first saw Hildegard, he couldn''t help but widen his eyes. She appears much


    younger than I expected.


    Based on his understanding, the realm of Daoist martial arts cultivation was divided into ten levels.


    Level 10 was the highest achievement and was equivalent to the advanced grandmaster level. The


    most obvious sign of the advanced grandmaster level was no other than the external control of the


    nimbus.


    There was also a differentiator at the advanced Daoist master level. After achieving Level 5, one would


    not just get to prolong their life, but it also had a magical effect of retaining youth. The youth-retaining


    effect didn''t imply that one could be immortal, but the aging speed of one''s appearance would be


    significantly slowed downpared to ordinary people.


    ording to Leanna, Hildegard had traveled to Eastshire more than 20 years ago. After doing the


    math, Matthew reckoned that she should be in her fifties or sixties. However, Hildegard merely looked


    like she was in her thirties. If his assumptions were correct, she must have achieved Level 5 or higher


    in the advanced Daoist master level.


    At that thought, he couldn''t help feeling his heart race. After all, it was his first time officially meeting


    someone with such high cultivation.


    Hearing the rustle, Hildegard gradually opened her eyes. Her gaze cut straight through his body like a


    sharp sword. Under her gaze, even evil spirits would have nowhere to hide.


    Following the simple gesture, Matthew instantly felt the tension in the air. It felt like an invisible power


    was holding him down to the point that he had trouble standing straight. However, the pressure came


    and went quickly. It disappeared even before he could react to it.


    Despite not understanding Hildegard''s intentions, he could tell she meant no harm when he met her


    eyes. Instead, he could feel the amodating feeling she extended to him. Wiping the sweat off his


    forehead, he bowed at her. "Greetings, Madam Peregrine. I am Matthew Larson."


    On the other hand, she slowly got up and strolled toward the stone table. "Let''s skip the formalities.


    Please take a seat!"


    Meanwhile, Birgitta, who escorted the duo to Hildegard, retreated silently while Leannaposed


    herself.


    Then, Leanna took a seat alongside Matthew opposite Hildegard.


    After the three sat down, he would nce at the magnolia tree asionally and then at Leanna.

    Somehow, it urred to him that perhaps Hildegard gave her the name ''Leanna'' that carried a simr


    meaning to what the magnolia presented. At the same time, she wanted Leanna to have a heart of


    purity and nobility.


    Sensing what Matthew was doing, Leanna kicked him under the table. At the same time, she pointed at


    Hildegard with her lips so that he would focus and pay attention.


    Seeing how firm she was, Matthew decided to ept it obediently. Co?tent of Dr?manovеls


    After he sat under the tree, Hildegard said, "Rx and clear your mind of distractions." As soon as she


    said that, she swayed the whisk in her hands.


    For a moment, Matthew felt dizzy, followed by a strong sense of danger that made him fear for his life.
