Guarding Against the Unexpected

Zeng Huo could not simply stand by and watch; he helped Lou Ze light the fire and fanned gently with a fan. However, seeing a cold-blooded assassin's leader doing this task felt somewhat out of place.

Lou Ze added the herbs to the decoction at different times, sniffing the aroma before adding more, until he had incorporated all the ingredients into the pot, slowly simmering it.

The herbs brewed for half an hour, but Lou Ze was not satisfied with the result.

"Take this medicine to Old Master Lu for now. This prescription can only temporarily suppress the addiction, not cure it. I need to try other methods. If Young Master Lu asks, tell him the truth."

Zeng Huo nodded, "Okay."

After some time, Lou Ze went to the room to take Old Master Lu's pulse to identify any problems and simultaneously refine the prescription based on the symptoms observed.
