Unbeknownst to Gu Youyou, she had already been on Qi Mountain for ten days, and Tian Jizi hadn't been cooperating with the treatment, not even allowing his pulse to be taken.
Gu Youyou thought that considering his advanced age, happiness would be the best medicine. Therefore, she brought him some interesting and thought-provoking books filled with stories every day, hoping they would keep him calmer and prevent him from confusing his disciples in his muddled state.
The disciples took turns playing various roles to cater to Tian Jizi, which appeared to be kindness on the surface but, in fact, only served to further muddle his mind.
Instead of letting him fail to recognize people, it was better to occupy his time with reading stories and contemplating the matters within them, constantly exercising his mind to delay the progression of his illness.
This approach, however, made things difficult for Gu Youyou, as all these short stories were written by her through painstaking effort.
