Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1222

After that, Fade took out a specially made wooden bottle. He had prepared the bottle in advance for the purpose of collecting water from the Hallow Ice Spring.

Normal porcelain bottles and metal bottles wouldn't have been able to withstand the extremely cold temperature of the Hallow Ice Spring. Thus, Fade had brought along this wooden bottle. After filling up the large wooden bottle, there was barely enough water to cover the bottom of the pit.

However, upon closer inspection, one could still see that there was a tiny spring located right beneath the stone pit. Water was still flowing out from it slowly but regularly.

"It seems that this is still a live spring." Fade spoke, "That's good. Given enough time, the spring water can accumulate in the stone pit."

After putting away the wooden bottle, Fade waved his hands, constructing a formation around the stone pit to protect the spring.

Thereupon, Fade walked out with the bottle of spring water.

Callum and the others were waiting obediently in the cave. They did not dare to escape after receiving Fade's warning.

Seeing Fade carrying a large wooden bottle with him, Callum and the others couldn't help staring at him with curiosity. As soon as they met Fade's gaze, however, their eyes shied away as they dared not to cast another glance in his direction.

Fade snorted lightly at their reaction and said, "Let's go."

Then, Fade led them out of the cave and back to the cabin.

Looking at the group of people, Fade uttered indifferently, "I'll let things slide this time. I'll spare the lot of you on the grounds of my relationship with Wushuang Tower. You are free to leave."

"However," Fade continued in a frigid tone. "You are not to tell anyone what has happened today. Do you understand?"

Their eyes brightened up upon hearing this, and they quickly nodded in response. "Yes, we understand. Our lips are sealed."

"Are you sure? You should know the consequences that await you if anyone gets wind of this," Fade continued icily.

The few people nodded in a hurry and replied solemnly, "You have our word. Don't worry, Master

Chen. We will keep this under wraps." "Fine. You may leave now," Fade said as he waved his hand dismissively. Callum and others turned around and fled instantly.

Dacia was a little hesitant. He looked at Fade as he was reluctant to leave.

Noticing this, Fade couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and prompted, "Why, do you not want to leave?"

Dacia scratched his head and mumbled, "No. It's just... 1-1 don't dare to go back..."

This was because Dacia had been regarded as a traitor by Callum since he had chosen to follow by Fade's side. Besides, he more or less had a hand in Raymond's death.

Although Callum hadn't said anything thanks to their predicament, it was hard for Dacia to guarantee his own safety should he return to the Clan. Moreover, he had lost an arm, and the Clan would never value him like before. He might even be downgraded from his status as an outer disciple to a factotum disciple.

It was only natural for Dacia to not want to go back.

Fade understood what he was thinking. Nonetheless, Dacia was still a martial artist of the late stage of Black Level. His skills weren't poor, and he would still be of use to Fade.

Tempted by the thought, Fade looked at Dacia and said, "In that case, I'll take you under my wing."

Dacia was overjoyed. He rushed to Fade's side to get on his knees and claimed, "It would be my honor to serve you, Master Chen."

"Alright, spare me the theatrics." Fade waved his hand and continued, "If you chose to follow me, that means you have turned your back on Wushuang Tower. Aren't you worried about them seeking revenge?" Dacia's gaze flickered for a moment, but then he swore firmly, "I place my trust in you, Master Chen!"

Dacia had been observing Fade all this while, and this young man was way more powerful than he had imagined. Fade's skills and background were truly unfathomable. Therefore, he chose to follow Fade instead of heading back to the Clan to face his sentence. Who knows, perhaps he might even have a bright future with Fade.

Fade admired Dacia's courage. A surge of energy appeared on his palm and he pressed it into Dacia's body.

"Master Chen, what-" Dacia was shocked by the sudden gesture.

Fade explained, "It's just a little insurance in case you have second thoughts in the future. You should know what awaits you when that comes to pass."

Dacia cried out in panic and anxiety, "I wouldn't dare! Master Chen, I swear I definitely won't!"

Fade was well-versed in the carrot and stick approach.

Thus, he helped Dacia up and said, "Don't be so nervous. If you are loyal to me, nothing will happen to you. Moreover, if you serve me well, there may even be a chance for your arm to recover." "My broken arm can be recovered?" Dacia gaped at Fade with pleasant surprise and elation.

Fade nodded and answered, "Of course."

Dacia was so over the moon that he could dance on the spot.

Fade waved his hand at him and said, "Enough. Let's go now."

Dacia quickly followed after him. Along the way, Dacia loosened up and he started asking, "Master Chen, did you really trust Callum and the others to uphold their promise when you let them go?" Fade smiled and replied, "Of course not! How can those people, especially Callum, keep it a secret?" "Then, why did you let them go?" Hearing this, Dacia was both shocked and puzzled. He frowned and said "If they spill the beans after returning to the Clan, I fear that the Hallow Ice Spring and your safety will be-"

Fade clarified with a smirk, "They'd better not try their luck on the Hallow Ice Spring. Otherwise, there'll be a price to pay."

"As for my personal safety, you don't have to worry about it. No one from Wushang Tower can hurt me!" Fade smiled as he spoke with great confidence.

Hearing Fade's words, Dacia looked at Fade in incredulity.

The Wushuang Tower was one of the four major forces of Heaven Level. The Clan housed a great number of Heaven Level masters. Especially the Guardian, who was considered one of the top martial arts masters and was also named among the top five masters on the Divine Dragon List.

For Fade to say that no one in the Wushuang Tower could hurt him, that simply meant that Fade's skills were at least on par with the top five masters on the Divine Dragon List...

No matter how highly Dacia thought of Fade's skills, he still didn't believe that Fade was on par with them. Hence, he just took those words as Fade's bragging.

"What? You don't believe me?" Fade looked at Dacia's doubtful expression and asked.

Dacia chuckled and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, of course not. I trust you, Master Chen!"

Although he said so, Dacia's expression showed otherwise. Fade didn't explain any further as he believed Dacia would eventually come to understand the fact.
