Mu Taishan explained, "The War Department has long wanted to clean up its house, but it’s not appropriate for us to strike in Jisland. Plus, this traitor’s strength is overwhelming! Only you all can solve this."
This left Yan Beigui and the Little Celestial Master stunned. If such a tricky problem needed solving, shouldn't they be asking their master? If you are going to ask for help, you should ask the strongest person! Why come to them? This was essentially walking them into their own graves; it all came back to the master anyway. It was like forcing them to exercise their master's authority, and it wasn't just a matter of "outshining the master"—it was an act that forced them into rebellion.
Yan Beigui quickly refused, "Apologies, we have no time to deal with this! Besides, we aren't going to Jisland."
