Chapter 643 Playing Cards
“Franco deserved to die. It has nothing to do with you. You shouldn’t blame yourself. I’ll be fine,” Jared comforted her so she wouldn’t feel so guilty.
“Jared, teach me how to cultivate.” Suddenly, Josephine spoke up. She looked at Jared intently. “I don’t want to be just a pretty face. I want to help you out.”
Jared cast her a surprised look. He didn’t know why she’d say that out of a sudden. Someone must’ve told her something.
He patted her head gently and said, “I told you that it’s a tough path. You can learn a few moves from Lizbeth. That will be enough. Who said you’re just a pretty face? To me, you’re the most perfect woman on earth.”
“No, I want to learn how to cultivate. I want to be stronger than you and protect you in the future,” Josephine insisted.
She didn’t seem to be joking.
Her insistence moved Jared. Despite reaching the Transcendence Phase, he had no idea how to bring someone into the heavenly realm or teach someone how to cultivate.
In fact, Jared once had the idea to teach Josephine how to cultivate. As an energy cultivator, he could live for a few hundred years even if he didn’t become an immortal.
If he were to live that long, Josephine would grow old and die. The only way for them to live till an old age was for Josephine to enter the heavenly realm together with him. Alas, Jared didn’t have the ability to teach her as of now.
“I can’t teach anyone yet. I’ll get you a mentor to teach you how to cultivate. With your talent, I believe you’ll do a better job than me.”
Jared could not teach her, but someone had popped up in his mind—Rayleigh. As Rayleigh had been helping him, he was certain that the former would be willing to teach Josephine how to cultivate if he were to ask him for help.
“I want to learn too!” Lizbeth chimed in.
She had resigned from her job and followed Jared, hoping he could teach her something. Nevertheless, Jared had taught her nothing at all.
Jared sighed in resignation. “All right. I’ll ask him to teach you together.”
They remained in the mansion until it was almost noon. The spiritual stones had been used up, so Jared didn’t have enough spiritual energy to continue with his cultivation. To stop them from brooding, he decided to play cards with them. Jared had post-its all over his face. The amusing sight caused Lizbeth and Josephine to burst out laughing merrily.
Outside, Tommy and Phoenix overheard their laughter and exchanged a look. They couldn’t help but admire Jared for being carefree enough to play games right before his match with a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
“I’m done. You both keep winning. Let’s just go for lunch.”
Jared was planning on heading out to have lunch with Josephine and Lizbeth. Josephine’s cooking had improved, but it was still far from scrumptious.
“Why? You don’t like my cooking that you want to eat outside?” Josephine asked.
“No, I just don’t want to tire you out,” Jared offered an explanation swiftly.
He didn’t like her cooking, but he dared not grumble out loud.
“It isn’t tiring. Lizbeth will help me. Just wait here.”
With that, Josephine dragged Lizbeth into the kitchen.
Left with no choice, Jared returned to the couch. He could only pray that Josephine’s cooking would improve this time.
While he was waiting, his phone suddenly rang.
He was surprised to see that it was a call from Zeke.
