While Jiang Xia was preparing to search, another question came to mind. How should she extract the Fleece Flower Root? Would it be like pulling out radishes?
Suddenly, she heard a chuckle from behind. Startled, she whipped her head around to find that Su Zhen had been following her all along.
With just the two of them present, Jiang Xia cautiously asked, "Why are you following me?"
Su Zhen found the young girl amusing. He hadn't expected her to be so alert. Lifting the shovel in his hand, he replied, "I brought this shovel for you. How else would you dig out the Fleece Flower Root? Were you planning to use your hands?"
Ignoring his teasing, Jiang Xia huffed, "Yes, I was going to dig with my hands. So what?"
Su Zhen saw Jiang Xia as a porcupine, displaying all its quills in defense.
