"But none of the cultivators, without exception, were able to resolve the troubles you, layman, have encountered?"
The Taoist paused for a moment, then continued, "Even those cultivators have spent a great cost to help you, but to no avail. As a result, they are reluctant to continue intervening, because it may lead to irreparable consequences."
"Or perhaps... those irreparable consequences have already occurred to them."
"So, layman, you simply grabbed a passing Taoist, wept bitterly, and made great promises, just to get me, in a moment of impulsiveness, to meddle in this affair."
At this point, the Taoist frowned and said, "It's pretty much like trying your luck with any cultivator you can find, hoping that one might be able to resolve that problem for you."
"Am I... guessing correctly?"
The man was taken aback, his eyes quickly welling up with tears, and although he did not let go of the Taoist's Daoist robe, he knelt down right away.
