Chapter 1056 Bitterness
Kaspar turned, and his gaze landed on Wynter. “Unusual?”
Wynter nodded.
Kaspar leaned closer to Wynter. “Young lady, why are you suddenly asking this? You can tell me, and I promise I won’t tell anyone.”
Although Kaspar was trustworthy, Wynter had learned from her experiences in the formation. She only trusted Atwater now and would not reveal too much before Atwater came to find her.
Wynter simply smiled. “I’m thinking of treating him. The Winstons
would probably
offer a good price to fetch a doctor. How much did they pay you?”
Kolton interjected before Kaspar could reply, “Ms. Dr. Miracle, my master is at devoted cultivator. He doesn’t care about money.”
“Kolton!” Kaspar frowned at Kolton’s rudeness. What had gotten into him?
Kolton was unable to accept that the Dr. Miracle could be so mercenary. He was shocked to learn of Wynter’s identity earlier, but now he felt a little disappointed.
A doctor should be indifferent to fame and fortune. Instead, they should be dedicated to saving lives and alleviating suffering.
Kolton shook his head disapprovingly after seeing Wynter acting like this. He used to look up to Dr. Miracle as a benchmark for himself.
Now, it seemed to him that Dr. Miracle did have excellent medical skills, but she was lacking in other aspects.
Kolton’s reaction was similar to that of a fan becoming disillusioned.
Wynter didn’t need to guess to know what Kolton was thinking. She glanced at him but said nothing. She idly played with her purple sugilite pendant as she gave him a faint smile.
Whitley, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn’t help but feel that Kolton, Mt. Dragon’s genius cultivator, had been somewhat overrated.
Regardless of the amount of money received for treating a patient with divine. healing, it carried a measure of faith. This was not insignificant for cultivators,
Whitley had looked into his own origins yesterday and had taken the opportunity to research Mt. Dragon while he was at it.
Even him, an amateur Savior, could tell that Kolton, this so–called genius cultivator of Mt. Dragon, was not very skilled.
Wynter shared Whitley’s view. Her gaze made Kolton uncomfortable.
Kaspar shook his head and pointed at Kolton. “You. What are you thinking? Although spiritual practice doesn’t require you to be completely detached from worldly desires, you should avoid the mercantile spirit..
“You are always overthinking. You might as well use that time to read more books.”
Kolton protested, “Ms. Quinnell engages in business, yet master, you praised her as a prodigy cultivator. This shows that business and spiritual practice are not in conflict.”
“Are you comparing yourself to her? Kolton, are you in your right mind?” Kaspar wasn’t one to coddle his disciples. He waved his hand dismissively, his long sleeves. following his movements. “Stand aside.”
Kolton had grown accustomed to being respectfully addressed.
In recent days, with Kaspar absent, he had represented Mt. Dragon at seminars. Kingbourne’s aristocratic families treated him with utmost politeness and regarded him as an honored guest.
In this moment of comparison, he felt a knot in his throat and an inexplicable sense. of discontent. How could Kaspar, his mentor, fail to support him in public and undermine his reputation like this?
Regardless, Kolton knew there was plenty of time ahead. He was determined to demonstrate that he possessed unmatched talent in the realm of spiritual practice.
