I instantly understood what the Doctor meant.
It wasn't that Bai Niangzi couldn't go in; they were afraid that the moment she entered, the other side would immediately attack us.
The Doctor said my safety came first. In other words, Bai Niangzi had actually wanted to go in herself, but they had stopped her.
