Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2309

There was a group of five to six people at the very front. They were moving towards the center of the water mirror.

Behind them was the larger second group with more than ten people. It was hard to tell who was ahead among the group as they were crowding together and chasing after the first team. As for the last team, there were four lights remaining at the entrance.

This caused a discussion amongst the crowd.

"Wagner, Shamos, and Yura must be in the first team. After all, they are quite strong."

"The second team is a large group with the most people."

"Fade must be among the last group."

"I can imagine him in the last group, but who are the other three? Why have they stayed

behind?"

"I'm not sure about that."

The outsiders were discussing enthusiastically at the entrance of the secret area.

Meanwhile, Fade was looking around at the scenery curiously. He was trying to figure out where exactly this secret area of the Xuan Valley was.

From his perspective, he could see a deserted rocky land which stretched out to the distance. At first glance, he could not see the end at all.

The space appeared to be rather barren. It was just like a desert, without any sign of life.

"Could it be that the secret area of the Xuan Valley is just a desert?" He was slightly surprised.

He recalled Jaguar telling him that there were various treasures in the Xuan Valley. He even told him that there would be martial essence and remnants of the elixir core. However, now, it seemed the slightest of what he had expected.

Halston, who was beside him explained to him, "Brother Chen, this is only the first level of the Xuan Valley. It's the most barren, and there aren't many treasures here. The valuable treasures are all in the inner levels."

"The first level?" Fade looked at him.

Halston continued, "The entire secret area of the Xuan Valley is divided into nine levels. Different levels have different atmospheres and environments."

"For example, the first level is a desolate desert which belongs to the earth element. For martial artists who wish to absorb the martial essence of the earth elements to forge the elixir core, the first level is the most suitable place for them to comprehend and upgrade themselves."

"But this is just theoretical."

"Since the first level is the easiest level, many martial artists have come here over the years. Thus, most of the treasures have been milked and now. there isn't really much of the valuables left, let alone the martial essence, which is extremely difficult to find."

Fade finally understood after hearing his explanation.

"In other words, the higher the level, the more difficult it gets. Hence, there will be more treasures inside because fewer people are able to access those levels."

Halston nodded and said, "Exactly."

"I see!" Fade nodded. "I was wondering why everyone rushed to the top as soon as they came in just now. It turns out that it was all for the treasures!"

"Now, how is each floor linked?" Fade continued to ask.

Halston was about to reply.

However, at this time, a cold voice came from the side. "If you don't know anything, why are you here? Are you trying to waste my time?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to a coldfaced tall man next to Fade.

"Wasting your time?" He sized Shamos up and asked coldly, "I never asked you to wait for me. You are the one who decided to stay here, so why are you taking your anger out on me?"

Shamos' expression darkened at Fade's words, and a surge of anger crept into his brows.

"If it wasn't for the guardian's request to take care of you, do you think I would waste my time here?"

Upon hearing this, they seemed to finally realize something.

After all, everyone thought that Shamos would advance to the other levels for the treasures upon entering, just like Wagner.

Unexpectedly, he had stayed by Fade's side after entering.

It turned out that it was Kinsley's order.

"Did Master Zou ask you to take care of me?" Fade raised his eyebrows.

Shamos gnashed his teeth and hissed, "If not, do you really think that I would wait for you?"

Fade nodded slightly and understood Kinsley's thoughts.

Kinsley knew that he was Aldred's disciple, so he had been nice to him and had been taking care of him.

On top of that, he also personally informed Shamos. He was trying to build a good relationship out of this.

However, he did not expect that his disciple would look down on Fade from the bottom of his heart.

After thinking this through, Fade

waved his hands at Shamos and said, "I am grateful for Master Zou's good intentions, but I am able to take care of myself. You can move along now."

"You..." Shamos became angrier and he glared at him.

Fade said, "I'm not joking. I don't need your assistance. You can leave now."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about Master Zou. I will speak up for you and explain the situation when we leave this place." Fade's attitude was beyond Shamos' expectation.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course," Fade said and looked at the remaining two. "If you don't believe me, you can ask them to testify when the time comes."

"This..." Shamos hesitated.

Fade then added, "I'm afraid that

Wagner will be at an extreme advantage if you delay any longer. By then, you won't be able to catch up with him."

Instantly, Shamos' expression showed a hint of anxiety.

"I'll hold you to your words!" Gritting his teeth, he turned around and rushed forward.

His figure instantly broke through the air and he rushed towards the depths of the desert like a sword.

As Fade watched Shamos' figure disappear at a lightning speed, he turned to Halston who was beside him. "Halston, you should go too!"

"But Fade, you..." Halston was a little hesitant.

Fade smiled and continued, "I'll remember the kindness you've shown me. However, you won't be able to help me much even if you stay here. Instead, you'll only delay yourself."

"This..." After a moment of hesitation, Halston cupped his hands at Fade and uttered, "Fade, take care of yourself then. I'll leave now."

"Go ahead, be careful." Fade waved his hand.

Following that, Halston tore through the air and charged in the direction where Shamos had disappeared.

After watching him leave, Fade turned his head around and looked at Yura, who had a sweet smile on her face. "Miss Shan, why are you still here?"

The last one among the four was not Kelsey but Yura.

No one had expected this, including Fade himself.

She smiled at him and beamed, "I am hereto accompany you, Master Chen!"

Her smile was bright and charming.

However, he was calm as he shook his head and said, "Accompany me? I barely know you, Miss Shan. Why do you want to keep me

company?"

"Alright then, I'm not here for you. I just wish to stay here a bit longer to enjoy the scenery."

She rolled her eyes at him as she retorted.
