Zhang Xiaohua approached cautiously and asked, "Captain He, what... what's going on here?"
Without turning around, He Tianshu heaves a sigh and says, "You can see for yourself, I'm not sure how this came about."
Not in a rush to come forward, Zhang Xiaohua only whispered, "Captain He, it's all my fault. I was so focused on participating in the martial arts conference that I neglected the medicinal fields."
He Tianshu turns to look at Zhang Xiaohua and shakes his head, "We can't solely blame you for this. After all, the Pharmaceutical Hall is tasked with overseeing the medicinal fields; you're just here to help. To be honest, I've also been so focused on preparing for the martial arts conference that I've inadvertently neglected this side of things."
Zhang Xiaohua, seeing that He Tianshu wasn't blaming him, felt even more guilty. Only then did he walk up, step into the medicinal field, and squat down to carefully observe the herbs under the flame light.
