The abbot of Bodhi Courtyard rejected Chicken Soup Temple's plea for help, citing the precarious situation at the border as a reason too formidable to withdraw personnel easily.
Were the Sand Bandits attacking Chicken Soup Temple, the elders of Dragon Elephant would naturally not stand by and allow the temple to be overrun; they must dispatch forces to support Chicken Soup Temple.
