In the early morning, Lu Qing sat in the courtyard.
With a jade token in his left hand and an engraving knife in his right, he was carefully carving.
After a while, Hu Zezhi, somewhat bleary-eyed, walked out from her room.
Seeing Lu Qing in the courtyard, she instantly became alert.
Quietly composing herself, she then approached Lu Qing.
"Mr. Lu, you're up so early?"
"Yes," Lu Qing said with a smile as he looked up.
His hands didn't stop moving.
"Mr. Lu, what are you carving?" Hu Zezhi asked curiously.
"A jade talisman."
Lu Qing finished the last few strokes, and the jade token in his hand suddenly emitted a white light before slowly receding.
"Just in time, you can try it and see if it works."
Lu Qing handed the jade token to Hu Zezhi.
"Let me try?" Hu Zezhi took the jade token, puzzled, "How should I try it?"
"Just drip a drop of blood on it," Lu Qing said, taking out a silver needle. "I'll prick you, don't worry, it won't hurt."
"Oh."
