Juliet shot Jared a look. “Don’t get too smug. You’ve seen me naked, even hit me. I haven’t forgotten that grudge. However, since I lost, I owe you a favor. You want to learn the fire fusion technique, right? I may not know it, but my father does.”
“Juliet, Mr. Ortiz is now out of his mind and under guard. I can’t just go and see him, even if he does know the technique!” Jared said, at a loss for words.
“Don’t worry. I have a way to get you to meet my father. Even though Harlan has people guarding him, using his well-being as an excuse, and even set up an arcane array to prevent anyone from seeing him casually, I’ve found a way to secretly see my father. Nobody knows about this method, so I couldn’t mention it in front of Mr. Barclay and the others just now. Come see me tonight, and I’ll take you to meet my father. Given your skills and abilities, I’m certain that your purpose for coming to Violet Flame Sect isn’t just to be an inner court disciple. You must have given Mr. Barclay quite a bit of money to get in here, didn’t you?”
Juliet looked at Jared, offering him a faint smile.
She had seen through it all long ago. Given Jared’s capabilities, she could tell he was no ordinary man, so how could he possibly have become a disciple of Dario and be brought in by him?
Moreover, it was well-known that Dario was greedy for wealth.
More importantly, the fire fusion technique was something most disciples hadn’t even heard of!
After all, mastering a single type of internal flame was already a difficult task, so there was no need for these disciples to attempt the fire fusion technique.
Besides, to use the fire fusion technique, one must, at the very least, master two types of internal flames!
Upon seeing Juliet’s insightful gaze, all Jared could do was laugh and say, “I came to Violet Flame Sect solely to learn from Mr. Ortiz about the fire fusion technique. I assure you, I have no other intentions!”
“Then could you tell me what kind of internal flame you used earlier? It seemed incredibly powerful,” asked Juliet.
“It’s the fire of the Earth’s core,” said Jared.
“Fire of the Earth’s core?” Juliet paused for a moment, then shook her head. “I’ve never heard of it!”
“There are countless types of internal flames in the world, so it’s impossible to know them all.. Your Violet Flame Sect’s internal flame is one I’ve never heard of or seen before either,” Jared said with a laugh.
“Could you share some of the fire of the Earth’s core with me so that I can refine it?” Juliet asked cautiously.
After all, asking someone for their internal flame to refine was no small matter. Every single bit of internal flame that was refined was extremely precious!
Moreover, Juliet’s encounter with Jared was just a chance meeting; they had no particular connection. Why on earth should he pass anything on to her?
“Juliet, it’s not that I’m being stingy or unwilling to share it with you for your cultivation. It’s simply because the fire from the Earth’s core is extremely fierce, and you wouldn’t be able to refine it. There’s a chance that the two types of internal flame within you could be consumed by it. The loss outweighs the gain! However, there is a method that could transfer it to you. It can also reduce its intensity, making it easier for you to refine,” Jared said.
“What method? Out with it!” Juliet asked out of curiosity.
“Dual cultivation. If you practice dual cultivation with me, our auras could merge, so when the fire of the Earth’s core senses my aura within you, it won’t resist too fiercely. This would make it a bit easier to refine. Other than this method, there’s no other way.”
No sooner had Jared finished speaking than Juliet shot him a disdainful look.
“You’re such a pervert. If you want to sleep with me, just say it. No need for all these excuses. I don’t need the fire from the Earth’s core anymore. There’s no way I’m sleeping with you!”
Juliet thought that Jared was purposely making up such excuses just to sleep with her.
“It’s not like I want to give it to you in the first place either…”
With a snort, Jared turned around and walked away.
“Don’t forget to come see me tonight,” Juliet reminded Jared.
Jared didn’t answer, he simply walked out of Juliet’s courtyard.
