Zhang Xiaohua would never shirk responsibility.
However, if Zhang Xiaohua were to take on this responsibility, he would also be hesitant.
First of all, from the information Xiaohua had obtained indirectly, his Internal Cultivation Methods were completely different from those of He Tianshu and the others. How could he explain to them the cause of the death of the medicinal herbs? Besides, even if he was willing to take responsibility, would He Tianshu and the others really believe it was Zhang Xiaohua's fault, rather than an excuse he had made up to avoid responsibility?
All of these concerns were secondary; the most crucial issue was that Zhang Xiaohua felt he had no ability to bear the consequences of this mistake. It seemed that the one thousand taels of silver he had just received, which had not even grown warm in his hands, were not enough to compensate for these medicinal herbs.
