Chapter 1542
Moore, who was sitting opposite Fade, was silent for a while. He had aplicated 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
exins 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 ck 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 topletely 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''sst 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 waspletely destroyed, and the relevant personnel and forces involved had also
copsed 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 arger merchant in the business industry, it was impossible
for them to rece 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 upied
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 toe over the following day to
have a chat.
Of course, he agreed. The next day, he nned 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 encapsted 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 poprize Chinese
medicine!
