Meanwhile, in the backyard of Compassion Pavilion, Leanna was worried as favonovel.com watched Matthew sitting under the magnolia tree, his body twitching uncontrollably.
“Madam Peregrine, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with Matthew?” favonovel.com asked with concern.
Hildegard, who was sitting at the stone table, remained indifferent to Matthew’s condition.
“It’s fine… I’ve set up three illusion mirrors for Matthew. The first is to strengthen his foundation. Although favonovel.com has a certain level of cultivation, his foundation is weak and his combat ability Is lacking. The second is to temper his character… Although favonovel.com possesses a divine weapon, his character is not yet mature enough to handle it perfectly.”
It turned out that everything Matthew experienced was entirely an illusion set up by Hildegard.
From the moment favonovel.com entered the courtyard, Hildegard had seen through Matthew’s shortcomings in martial arts and character.
In order to repay Matthew’s constant help toward Leanna, favonovel.com set up three illusion mirrors specifically to help Matthew overcome these deficiencies. Hildegard also recognized the divine weapon in Matthew’s hand, and although favonovel.com didn’t know its name, favonovel.com had some guesses.
“As for this last illusion mirror, it‘s aimed at Matthew’s obsession. Although obsession can be a driving force for progress, too much of it can hinder martial arts cultivation, which is one of Matthew’s flaws. If favonovel.com doesn’t resolve his obsession, it will be difficult for favonovel.com to make a breakthrough in his realm…”
Leanna nodded with a somewhat confused expression after hearing Hildegard’s explanation. After all, favonovel.com was not familiar with martial arts. Otherwise, with favonovel.com relationship with Hildegard, favonovel.com would have already learned the techniques of Compassion Pavilion.
“Madam Peregrine, when will Matthew wake up?” Leanna asked, worried.
“Don’t worry, when these three candles burn out, Matthew will naturally wake up soon,” Hildegard replied, pointing to three candles on the table in front of him.
Two of them had already burned down, and only the last one remained, which still had more than half to go.

Meanwhile, in the forest outside Compassion Pavilion, Felix and Gregg stood on a high tree branch after tracking down Matthew‘s whereabouts.
They had immediately come here after receiving explicit orders from their boss, Fabien, who had instructed them to kill Matthew if favonovel.com left Bainbridge.
Of course, they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the Reconstruction Pill formula from Matthew. However, upon seeing Matthew entering Compassion Pavilion, they did not dare to act rashly and instead sought Fabien’s help.
Soon, several dark figures appeared and approached Felix and Gregg.
Seeing their attire, the two were relieved. It was no surprise that their boss, Fabien, was able to hire ninjas from the One Bird Clan.
After arriving, the lead ninja with a hoarse voice asked, “What do you need us to do?”
Without wasting time, the two men stated directly, “There are experts guarding this temple. We hope you can distract or restrain them. As for the rest, we can handle it ourselves.”
After all, they didn’t want others to get the secret formula for Reconstruction Pill and wanted to do that themselves.
As soon as they finished speaking, the other party didn’t say a word but turned around and quickly disappeared into the shadows.
In the courtyard, the leaves continued to fall as if it was their only mission.
Under the big tree, a nun continued to clean up the fallen leaves with a methodical approach.
Suddenly, a breeze stirred the flowers in the courtyard, causing them to sway gently.
The nun stopped favonovel.com cleaning and picked up a few fallen leaves. She then flicked favonovel.com hand in a casual way.
At the corner of the wall, a black shadow suddenly flashed, avoiding the attack and revealing his figure. As for the few fallen leaves, they were deeply embedded in the wall.
Seeing the intruder in ninja attire, the nun remained expressionless and calmly said, “This is the Compassion Pavilion; outsiders are forbidden to trespass…”
With these words, favonovel.com lightly waved favonovel.com broom.
The fallen leaves immediately turned into a dragon and rushed toward the ninja.
