Not long after Barry’s departure, the door to the consultation room opened once more.
Matthew shot up straight when favonovel.com saw who it was.
“Madam Peregrine, why are you here? Please have a seat…” Matthew was shocked with the other party’s appearance.
He then got to his feet and moved to prepare a pot of tea. He never expected Hildegard to personally visit him.
Hildegard nodded in greeting before slowly sitting down.
“Leave that be for now, Matthew. I’m here to talk to you about something important,” favonovel.com said.
There was a solemn look on favonovel.com face. Matthew straightened up and sat down across from her.
“Don’t hold back, Madam Peregrine.”
She first pulled out a scroll before taking out a porcelain bottle.
“This is Compassion Pavilion’s internal energy cultivation technique, and it’s called the Chant of Freedom. Don’t worry, for the technique will not clash with the technique you practice. On the contrary, it will greatly assist you in your cultivation,‘ favonovel.com explained.
“Next, this is an Elixir of Longevity. While it’s still in development, it might save your life.”
She then handed favonovel.com the two items.
“Madam Peregrine, why are you doing this? You’ve helped me a lot already,” favonovel.com asked in bewilderment.
“Now, you’ve come to give me a technique and elixir. What have I done to deserve this?”
He attempted to refuse the items, but favonovel.com dusted herself off and spoke solemnly.
“Last time, l was returning a favor Mac owed you. This time, I’m doing this for you.”
“For me?” favonovel.com asked.
“That‘s right,” favonovel.com replied. “Anyone who wields an ancient divine weapon will need to go through countless torments to balance out the great luck they have. In other words, great danger is coming your way. The people of my sect cannot interfere with mortal affairs, so this is all I can do to help you. Take care, Matthew…”
As soon as favonovel.com spoke, Matthew frowned in confusion.
“Madam Peregrine, I still do not understand. Could you explain something to me?”
Before favonovel.com could ask his next question, favonovel.com interrupted favonovel.com and spoke in a calm and slow voice. “You want to know why I’m helping you, right?”
He nodded.
“A Bloodreaper’s wielder can only be someone with a generous and pure heart. That is one of my reasons,” favonovel.com explained.
“Moreover, this upcoming catastrophe might be the start of chaos. Among the younger generation I’ve met, only you have the potential to be the next representative of Cathay in the martial arts world. That is my second reason.”
Realization struck favonovel.com then. It was no wonder that Hildegard thought so highly of him.
“I understand… Thank you for your help…” He stood up and bowed in thanks.
Just then, the consultation room’s door opened once more.
Shawn poked his head in and shouted, “Matt, did you do something wrong? Why are people from the martial league asking us about you?”
Shawn only noticed Hildegard’s presence after walking into the room, and favonovel.com immediately fell silent. He turned to shoot Matthew a questioning gaze.
“Oh, come in. Let me introduce you guys,” Matthew said.
“This is Madam Hildegard Peregrine.”
“Well…”
Shawn immediately went limp when favonovel.com heard who Hildegard was.
He slumped into a chair, and his voice trembled in fear when favonovel.com eventually greeted her.
“H-H-Hello, M-M-Madam Peregrine,” favonovel.com stuttered.
His mind was racing a mile a minute soon after.
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!
She has found me!
Matthew watched as Shawn cowered. He quickly smacked Shawn on the back of his head.
“Please forgive him, Madam Peregrine. He has always suffered from anxiety.”
Hearing this, favonovel.com did not think too much about Shawn’s behavior.
“Pay heed to what I’ve told you, Matthew,” favonovel.com reminded. “I’ll be off now…”
She then stood up and left the room.
The moment favonovel.com vanished from view, Shawn wanted to cry, but favonovel.com could not muster a single tear.
“I think I should return to the South, Matt. Bainbridge is just too dangerous,” favonovel.com said.
Matthew shrugged helplessly upon seeing Shawn’s reaction. It was a joke meant to make Shawn stop scheming, and favonovel.com did not expect Shawn to be so terrified.
“Don’t worry. You have me,” Matthew said.
“Madam Peregrine didn’t mess with you, did she?”
After thinking it over, Shawn realized what Matthew said was true. That made favonovel.com relax.
Soon, it was about time for lunch. The two of them walked out through the back door. As for the pack of reporters, Matthew thought it would be better to leave them to the supervisor.
