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
plaque 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 down compared to ordinary people.
According 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 This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
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 accommodating 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 Leanna composed
herself.
Then, Leanna took a seat alongside Matthew opposite Hildegard.
After the three sat down, he would glance at the magnolia tree occasionally and then at Leanna.
Somehow, it occurred to him that perhaps Hildegard gave her the name 'Leanna' that carried a similar
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 accept it obediently. Coոtent of Drąmanovеls.com
After he sat under the tree, Hildegard said, "Relax 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.
