"I know, Master Bai, you have many friends, and you care deeply about them. As soon as you were besieged on the mountain, you sent out message-bearing flying swords, telling your friends that Moon-Watching Sect was fine, that everything was okay, and that no rescue was needed, among other things."
The message-bearing flying sword is a very common communication tool. This time, the message-bearing flying sword Bai Qianqian sent out wasn't for her friends, as they wander all over the world and are not easy to locate. Instead, the messages were sent to several large trading firms and intelligence agencies in the Western Wastes, akin to a public telegram. That way, as soon as anyone inquired, they'd learn, "Ah, Moon-Watching Sect is unharmed. Bai Qianqian herself has said no help is needed," and then they would simply watch the spectacle unfold.
