Chapter 208 Ignorant
“It wouldn’t matter even if you could do it in half a month. Judging by how much frosty energy the jade
scepter can absorb each time, I suppose even a lifetime won’t be enough. Moreover, she only has three
days left to live at most,” Jared remarked slowly.
Leonidas’ brows drew together sharply, and he glared at Jared. “Erasmus, who’s this ignorant brat? How
dare he spout such nonsense?”
“He’s the person Mr. Grange asked to help cure Renee. As you know, Mr. Grange has been a loyal
patron of this monastery,” Erasmus replied hurriedly.
Leonidas snorted angrily. “Even so, this greenhorn has the cheek to doubt me! Get him out of here!”
It was clear that Leonidas had taken offense to Jared’s remark.
“This…” Erasmus paled instantly.
Due to his close friendship with Walter, he did not think it appropriate to dismiss Jared so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunceremoniously.
“What’s the matter? Do you really believe that brat can cure your daughter? In that case, I’m leaving!”
Leonidas picked up the jade scepter and prepared to leave.
“Please calm down!” Erasmus cried out as he reached out to stop Leonidas. Then, he turned to Walter
uneasily and said, “Mr. Grange, perhaps it’d be better if you and your friends left us for a while. My senior
prefers not to be disturbed.”
He shot Jared a torn look as he spoke. He trusted Jared, but there was nothing he could do.
“Abbot Erasmus, your daughter has what is called a frosty constituent. A frosty constituent attracts frosty
energy. If one has the ability to harness the energy, it can strengthen one’s physical body and offer
eternal youth. Alas, no one taught her how to do that. Hence, the frosty energy has accumulated within
her over the years and caused her current condition,” Jared explained.
After a pause, he continued, “Although the jade scepter is a magical item that can absorb frosty energy, it
isn’t powerful enough when compared to the rate that the frosty energy is multiplying inside your
daughter’s body. On top of that, the frosty energy in the monastery’s ancient well is very potent. As such,
she won’t survive beyond three days.”
In truth, Jared only bothered to give such a long explanation because he wanted the spiritual brush and
cinnabar rosary!
Meanwhile, Erasmus was dumbfounded. Despite not knowing much about his daughter’s condition, he
felt that what Jared said made sense.
“What a mountain of lies! Frosty constituent, you say? Eternal youth? You might as well say that it’ll grant
one immortality! That’s all a load of nonsense. I’ve never heard of something as ridiculous as a frosty
constituent in all my years as a monk!” Leonidas responded coldly, gazing at Jared in utter disdain.
Jared retorted expressionlessly, “If you don’t know about it, that’s because you’re ignorant. That jade
scepter in your hand may be a magical item, but it’ll shatter into a million pieces if you continue using it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat jade scepter is indeed capable of absorbing frosty energy. However, the frosty energy inside
Renee’s body is strong. If I can sense it, that shows how powerful her energy is! A jade scepter made
from warm jade won’t be able to withstand it, and it’ll only end up shattering.
“Rubbish! Even in the extreme cold, the jade scepter will still be able to return to its original temperature.
There’s no way it’ll break, so don’t even think about uttering such nonsense. You should just get lost.
You’re not welcome at Lagrange Monastery!”
Leonidas was seething with rage, furious that Jared had dared to call him ignorant. No one had ever
disrespected him like that before!
Jared snorted with disdain. If it weren’t for the spiritual brush and cinnabar rosary, I wouldn’t lift a finger to
help even if they begged me!
“You insolent brat! You’re just asking for it!”
Leonidas flew into a rage. Lifting his cane in the air angrily, he charged toward Jared.
“Stop, please!”
Alarmed by the turn of events, Erasmus quickly stepped forward to stop Leonidas.
Walter and the others stood staring in shock, not expecting Leonidas to act so impulsively.
