Libationer Green Mountain went numb when he heard Tai Gongwang's question.
He knew trouble had come knocking.
Because he had no answer to Tai Gongwang's question.
I came to resolve a situation, not answer questions. He had originally thought the changes in time here were inextricably linked to the problem on his end.

Tai Gongwang's expression held a deeper meaning.
His philosophy differed from Green Mountain's. He was a staunch believer in "letting nature take its course," which meant he would observe everything that "ought"
