This matter was indeed intentionally orchestrated by the old master and his ilk, so Musheng had no reason to clarify it.
Moreover, it wouldn't be easy to clarify.
But the awkward part is that now the onlookers probably think she holds an official position, yet her military rank is only temporary and will soon be revoked, something everyone in the department knows, but the onlookers don't...
So this misunderstanding is really a big one, and Musheng doesn't know what the old master and his folks are really up to.
The people here are definitely still confused, you can tell just by looking at their faces; it seems they are just asking questions along the way, but in reality, their minds are probably still muddled. They're not even aware of what they want to ask or what they should do.
In other words, they are at a complete loss.
