Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1542

Moore, who was sitting opposite Fade, was silent for a while. He had a complicated expression on, which was a mixture of pity, sadness and surprise. Eventually, he could only sigh deeply, "She was worried about her meridians and her dantian. No wonder she wasn't able to give it her all. That explains why she was captured by Maldrick."

Fade nodded and said, "That's right. Of course, it's not that Joey can't use any positive energy. It's just that she can't use too much of it."

"She can still use the positive energy belonging to the Black Level for now. It'll be dangerous once she tries to use positive energy belonging to the Earth level, and it will start causing harm to her body. As for her own mid-Heaven level cultivation, if she uses it with all her strength, she can only use it for three times at most. Anymore than that and her dantian and meridians will burst due to the pressure." Moore was worried about Joey after hearing this. He looked up at Fade and asked, "Then, is there any way to cure it?"

He replied, "In recent years, Master has tried a lot of methods. The effects of ordinary medicine and cultivation methods are very limited. Now, there is a rare medicinal material called the Nine-star Root which can probably still work. However, it is very difficult to find. Truthfully, we still have no idea how to completely cure her."

"The Nine-star Root... I'll keep this in mind." Moore nodded with a solemn expression.

Then, he stood up and walked towards the door, "Thank you, Fade. I'm going to have a chat with Joey. I have owed her too much over the years. For the rest of my life, I will do anything I can for her." Fade nodded. He looked at Moore and smiled, "Joey is very blessed to have a father like you."

Just then, Joey had tiptoed to the door. She made sure to be as silent as she could, and was ready to eavesdrop on Fade and Moore's conversation. When she heard the conversation between the two in the room, especially Moore's last words, tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes.

She was going to push the door open and scare them. However, she retreated silently, carefully wiping her tears away.

Fade and the others stayed in Southzobe City for another two days. By then, the turmoil in the city had died down.

The Xu family was completely destroyed, and the relevant personnel and forces involved had also collapsed or fled. After the fall of the Xu family, the Choo family had taken over their positions. At first, as the Choo family was merely a larger merchant in the business industry, it was impossible for them to replace the Xu family that quickly.

However, Fade had been living with the Choo family for a few days. This gave others the impression that he was supporting them. With that, the other forces in Southzobe City naturally did not dare to act at will.

On the other hand, on the other side of Long City, Taufeeq had also managed to control the situation well. With the title of the number one family in Long City, he arrived in Southzobe City to help the Choo family gain a firm footing.

Fade didn't care much about that. The empty position in Southzobe City would always be occupied by others. In this case, it was better if someone he knew took over the position rather than any others. After the Choo family managed to gain full control over Southzobe City, Fade, Joey, and Moore bade farewell to them and returned to Capital City.

At the Capital City International Airport, Fade and the others walked out. They looked up at the dusky sky of the city and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"It's been close to two months. Finally, I'm back," Fade sighed. Along with Joey and Moore, they got into a taxi on the roadside and went back.

Fade went back to the dorm. Since it had taken much difficulty for Joey to reunite with her father, it would be inconvenient for her to continue living in the dormitory.

Hence, he bought a house near Capital City University so that the two could live together comfortably.

As such, Moore was able to express his fatherly love and doting care towards Joey. Everyday, he would help her wash her clothes, and he even made her adorable packed lunches, bringing them to the university for her.

At the beginning, she was a little moved. However, after a long time, the active Joey could no longer stand her father's exceptionally warm care anymore.

As a result, the father and daughter duo started having small quarrels with each other. From time to time, they would even have a physical fight.

Fade was used to this. After all, he was very clear about Joey's character. In fact, this was actually quite normal for her. If she was to pretend to be sentimental and gentle, she wouldn't be able to take it. Therefore, after Fade's persuasion, Moore reduced his overbearing care towards his daughter. Instead, he focused on other things, such as dealing with some matters from a few decades ago, and meeting some old friends.

Of course, the most important thing for him now was to help his daughter find out what he could about the Nine-star Root.

Fade also paid close attention to this. He asked the staff in Sincere Medicine Center to help him keep an eye out for this, and he also contacted some herbal suppliers to have them look for it.

After making all these arrangements, he immediately thought of Master Choi.

As the National Chinese Medical Doctor, as well as an official imperial physician in the Capital City Imperial Hospital, he might know some ways to obtain such valuable herbs.

With that in mind, Fade contacted him and asked for his help to look for the Nine-star Root. After Master Choi learned about the matter, he agreed and invited Fade to come over the following day to have a chat.

Of course, he agreed. The next day, he planned to go to the Capital City Imperial Hospital to look for Master Choi.

Before he left, he received a sudden message from Master Choi, saying that he had something urgent to do that day. He was not at the Capital City Imperial Hospital, but at the National Medical College instead. Hence, he asked Fade to go there to meet up with him.

Fade knew that in addition to being employed in the Capital City Imperial Hospital, Master Choi was also a teacher like himself. Master Choi was a lecturer at the National Medical College, which was considered a hub to promote the use of Chinese medicine.

The National Medical College was not far from Capital City University, so Fade didn't see the need to ride a car. Instead, he walked there.

When he arrived at National Medical College, Fade noticed that the students here walked at a much quicker pace than others. It seemed that they were extremely busy. Studying medicine was truly harder than studying for other general subjects.

After he teased these students in his heart, he asked a student where the Chinese Medicine School was and walked over.

The Chinese Medicine School was located in an old three story building. The building's red and grey bricks made the whole building look pretty old, but it had perfectly encapsulated the beauty of having passed the test of time.

Compared with other medical colleges where the number of students would enter and exit the building in endless streams, the number of the students passing through the entrance of the Chinese Medicine School was significantly fewer.

Upon seeing this, Fade couldn't help but sigh. There really was a need to popularize Chinese medicine!
