Hearing that such a bizarre incident had occurred in the sect, He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua with some concern and asked, "Zhang Xiaohua, the sect is far from peaceful now. I think you should return to Huanxi Mountain Villa first. You heard Hall Master Bai just now—he told us to remain in the Medicine Hall for the time being. You still need to look after the herb field, so stop fooling around here."
