Madigan frowned and asked unhappily, "What happened with those two people just now?"

"It's not a big deal. They were just talking to me," Sierra replied blandly.

Madigan felt somewhat dissatisfied with her reply, "What's with your attitude? Don't you know that our family is looking for a son-in-law for you soon? Yet, you rub shoulders with these swindlers. It will certainly affect our family if this raises gossip. What should we do then?"

Upon hearing this, she pouted her lips and complained, "I'm not the one who wants to find a husband. I'm only doing this for the sake of Dad and Grandpa. I'm not interested at all!"

"Stop being so stubborn. The candidates are all young and handsome. You know, most of the martial artists have good personalities," he stated.

"What's so good about them? They can't even compare with Master Chen," she pouted.

He glared at her, "Master Chen is in a league of his own. How could anyone compare with him? Stop daydreaming and get prepared for the upcoming selection."

"I... I..." She wanted to retort, but she was becoming less and less confident. Deep down, she knew that there was a huge gap between her and someone like Master Chen. She could only fantasize about it. Seeing that his younger sister gave in, the expression on his face softened, "Sierra, this is all for your own good and also for the sake of our family. You will come to understand Dad and Grandpa."

"Brother, I understand. I will pull myself together," she answered in a low voice as she nodded her head.

"Alright, it's good that you understand. Get some rest!" He replied.

After Fade had a drink with Scott in the bar, he took him back to the hotel and sent him back to his room to rest.

Both Caesar and Tom returned in the evening. Scott was still dead drunk, so the three of them had dinner together.

Tom talked about his martial arts center and expressed his gratitude to Fade again. He also invited him to visit the center during his free time.

After dinner, Caesar stopped Fade just before they parted, "Brother Fade, do you have a second?" "Of course!" Fade nodded his head and sat down opposite him. He then turned his gaze to Caesar. Caesar looked slightly embarrassed as he started hesitantly, "Brother Fade, I... I....."

"Come on, we're all brothers. Just spit it out," Fade smiled and patted his shoulder.

Caesar then said, "Brother Fade, I have a favor to ask of you."

"What is it?" Fade studied him curiously.

Caesar continued, "I am heading over to a clinic in Roann City tomorrow for a competition to compete our medicinal skills. I don't have the confidence to win, so I would like to ask you for help, Brother Fade." "A medical competition! Sure, I'll do it!" Fade was a little surprised, but then he said doubtfully, "If it's a competition, won't it be a little inappropriate for me to take your place?"

It was not that Fade didn't want to help him, but it was a competition after all. If he substituted Caesar in the competition, wouldn't that be cheating? He was confused because he knew Caesar well. He would never do something like this.

Caesar quickly waved his hands and explained, "Brother Fade, it's not that kind of competition that you have in your head. In fact, it's more like a gamble."

"A gamble?" Fade grew even more curious.

Caesar then added, "Brother Fade, I have come to Roann City this time because my Grandpa has sent me here for a task."

"In recent years, traditional Chinese Medicine has developed a lot under your influence, but in general, it's status is still low in the country."

"To develop and expand the market of traditional Chinese medicine, my grandfather, Master Choi, and the others have established a Chinese Medicine Association, with the

support of some officials. They wish to gather all the well-known traditional Chinese Medicine clinics and practitioners into the

association. That way, everyone will unite as one to exchange information and knowledge to further advance Chinese Medicine."

"After all, united we stand, divided we fall."

Fade nodded as he listened to Caesar, "That's a good thing. I agree with you. The reason why traditional Chinese medicine couldn't compete with western medicine is because everyone in the field fights a lone war. We are at a disadvantage when competing with them, which has developed systematically on a large-scale."

"That's right," Caesar nodded. "In the past few months, the Chinese Medicine Association has been developing quite well. Many well-known clinics and practitioners from all over the country have joined the association."

"But here in the Roann City, a popular witch clinic has refused to join the association."

"This witch clinic is quite a famous traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Roann City. It is prominent and is highly trusted among the locals."

"More importantly, this clinic

represents one of the Chinese

Medicine branches, the witch

medical. Although it is not as

famous as classic medical,

prescription medical, or Shanghan

medical, it plays a significant part in

traditional Chinese medicine,

especially in the southwest of the

country. It's also influential in foreign

countries, such as the South Asian

countries."

"If we manage to get the witch clinic to join the association, it will be a symbol of the integration of the entire witch medical. This will cause a strong impact on the integration development of traditional Chinese medicine in the Southwest."

Fade's expression grew serious. He never expected that a clinic would have such a significant role.

Then, he asked, "Why is the witch clinic not willing to join the association?"

Caesar couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Well, it's a long story. There have always been grudges between different branches of traditional Chinese medicine. Since there are various branches, it is inevitable that rivalries would arise."

"Especially in the past 100 years, the classic medical has become one of the most outstanding branches in traditional Chinese medicine. Other branches have either been integrated into it, or are gradually declining. However, the witch medical has stood alone in the Southwest area. It has always existed outside the influence of the classic medical section."

"Back then, during war times, the classic medical had suppressed the witch medical to make them submit to them. Needless to say, this had caused dissatisfaction and resentment among the witch medical."

"Later, the classic medical had been recognized officially as the orthodox of traditional Chinese Medicine and they couldn't wait to subdue the witch medical. However, the witch medical firmly refused to obey. As a result, they were identified as a cult for various reasons, and had been Many of the witch medical practitioners had left the country at that time, and that had worsened the conflict between the two sides."

severely suppressed.ad been

As he spoke, Caesar noticed Fade frowning.

He quickly added, "The fact that the witch medical had been deemed as a cult wasn't just an act of revenge from the classic medical. There were objective facts that support that notion as well."

"That is because the witch medical practiced witchcraft that had been passed down since ancient times. There were many superstitions as well as cruel methods integrated in their ways, and that had taken numerous lives. Therefore, the authorities have banned them. To a certain extent, the witch medical deserved it."
