Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 647 Luminous Cloud Cave

"Knock knock knock"

She tapped on the door, retreated a couple of steps, and stood there in silence.

Soon enough, a young man dressed in a modest robe made of cotton and linen, his hair pinned up with a wooden clip, came to answer the door. As soon as Violeta saw him, a smile lit up her face. She seemed to recognize him, but her words felt oddly formal. "Hello, Master."

Francis Hoffman glanced at Violeta, puzzled. "And you are?"

Violeta said, "I was trekking the mountain when I stumbled upon this Hermitage. It's getting late, and I was hoping to stay here for the night." The Luminous Cloud Cave was situated in a hidden, secluded spot.

Only five mentors lived within the Hermitage.

Additionally, the absence of any paths leading up or down the mountain made it difficult for most people to discover this location.

After an incident a few years back when a careless visitor from Glorialand stumbled upon it, Francis started to be suspicious of Violeta. "Stay here," he instructed.

Francis didn't wait for Violeta to reply. He shut the door and went off to look for the Master.

In her past life, Violeta had also waited outside for quite some time, so this time, she came ready. She sat on the steps, pulling some biscuits from her bag to munch on.
