Chapter 1237


    The packaging box was in a sorry state. Half of it was stained with mud, and the other half had


    obviously been soaked in water.


    "D*mn it! What kind of courier service is this? It''s so terrible!" Fademented, picking up the


    parcel with his fingertips as he headed upstairs.


    Just as he was about to open the parcel in his room, his phone rang.


    Fade paused as he looked at the caller ID before picking up the phone.


    However, before he could speak, a wretched old man''s voice apanied by sounds from a love


    movie came from the other end of the phone. "Brat, you should have received my parcel by now,


    haven''t you?" said the old man.


    Hearing that, Fade took a quick nce at the broken parcel box again and said helplessly, "Old


    fogey, so you were the one who sent it to me!"


    "Of course it''s me! Otherwise, who else would send a parcel to a lonely man like you!" The old man


    replied narcissistically, "Furthermore, didn''t you see my chic signature on the delivery slip?"


    Fade was speechless when he took a look at the torn slip. "Old fogey, why did you send me an


    express delivery for no reason? What on earth did you send to me?"


    "You haven''t opened it yet! What are you waiting for? Open it now!" the old man urged.


    Fade was speechless. He could only set the call to speakerphone he began to open the parcel.


    As he was opening the box, Fade couldn''t help butin about the torn box. "Old fogey, which


    deliverypany did you use? The box ispletely damaged and wet. Couldn''t you have chosen


    a betterpany?"


    In the end, Fade almost rolled his eyes in exasperation when he heard the old man’ s response.


    "The only thing you know to do is toin. A better deliverypany would have costed a lot


    more. Don''t you know that? For example, the ‘betterpanies'' that you mentioned, charge ten


    times more than the ordinary ones. I''m not that stupid. Why should I choose them?" The old man


    said with a stingy look, "Besides, the stuff that I sent you are not that important. It wouldn''t matter as


    much."


    "Old fogy, am I even your personal disciple? Why are you treating me this way?!" Fade asked


    exasperatedly.


    The old man urged, "Okay, stop spouting nonsense. Have you opened the parcel? Have you seen


    what''s inside?"


    Fade had already opened the box and took out a red booklet that resembled a marriage certificate


    from it. "Old fogey, what is this?" he asked.


    While speaking, Fade had opened the little waterdamaged red booklet. He was instantly surprised


    when he saw the contents. "Capital University, School of Chinese Medicine, distinguished professor


    appointment letter..."


    "Old fogy, what''s going on?" Fade asked in surprise, "Why is Capital University sending me an


    appointment letter, offering me the position of a professor at their school? This must be a mistake!"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "No, it’s definitely not a mistake!" The old man said, "I have used all of my connections to get you a


    position in the university. You have to work hard. Remember to be grateful!"


    Hearing this, Fade grew more speechless towards his unreliable master. "Master, why did you get


    me a job in a university as a professor for no reason?


    I have my own career now, and I don''t have the time to be a professor. Besides, I don''t even


    understand what I should teach?"


    The old man smacked his lips as he roared angrily, "Why are you asking me that? Do you still


    remember the task I gave you when you went down the mountain?"


    "Of course I do!" Fade replied. "Master, you asked me to leave the mountain to train, striving for a


    breakthrough. You want me to break through the peak of the Heaven Level and advance to the Lord


    Level realm."


    "This is one of them. What else?" The old man continued to ask in a cold and hard tone.


    Upon hearing that, Fade could not help but shudder. His tone instantly softened when he suddenly


    remembered something else. "Also, the other task is to find clues about Joey."


    "You still remember that you have to look for Joey! How long has it been since you left the


    mountain? Did you receive any news about Joey? Have you even attempted to find her?" The old


    man roared.


    Fade knew that he was in the wrong. Lowering his voice, he exined, "Master, l-l was busy, so it


    has been dyed. Actually, I have been thinking about Joey all the time."


    "Moreover, Joey is my granddaughter. She is smart, so I believe no harm woulde to her.


    Moreover, her Martial Arts strength is of the Heaven Level. I don''t think anything will happen to her."


    The old man snorted coldly and added, "Humph, now you know to call me master and tter me.


    But I can tell you it''s already toote for that."


    "Master, don''t be angry! I know that I am wrong. I''ll pack my things now and head out to find Joey. I


    will definitely bring her back to you even if I have to travel all over the country or even to the ends of


    the Earth," Fade stated, in an attempt to calm the old man down.


    The old man on the other end of the line huffed in reply. "Your ttery won''t work on me. Plus, you


    don''t have to seek her out anymore."


    "Master, I really know that I''ve done wrong. I will definitely..." Fade pleaded weakly.


    "Okay, okay! Stop pretending, I know your character well." The old man interrupted Fade and said,


    "You don''t have to look for Joey anymore because I have already received news about her."


    "She is currently just an ordinary student at Capital University," the old man added, "That''s why I got


    you a professor job at Capital University. I want you to go and take good care of Joey. Do you


    understand?"


    Fade took a look at the wrinkled appointment letter and said, "So that''s what you intended. Joey is a


    lucky granddaughter of yours indeed. I will definitely be a good professor and take good care of


    Joey. I will not let you down, I..."


    "Alright, alright. Speak normally and stop being mushy." The old man interrupted Fade impatiently. "I


    don''t expect you to teach well, and I don''t need you to take care of Joey either. You just need to look


    out for her. Don''t let her get hurt, both physically or mentally, do you understand?"


    At his final sentence, the old man''s tone grew serious.


    Fade understood what the old man meant. He nodded and replied solemnly, "Master, don''t worry.


    As long as I am around, no one can hurt Joey."


    "Okay, then I''ll leave the rest to you." The old man then hung up the phone immediately.


    Fade put away the appointment letter and said to himself, "Seems like I have to go to Capital City."


    Then, he looked out of the window and said emotionally, "Thest clue about Quin is also in Capital


    City. Now Joey is there too. Capital City, I''ming!"
