When they gave their application to SARFT, Tangren purposely didn't mention Long Kui, because they knew there would be a high chance of SARFT rejecting CP3 if they did.
(i.e. In CP3, apart from the character introduction, Long Kui is referred to as one of the 'undead' [不死人])
So in summary, if they didn't include Long Kui, there would most likely be no Country of Jiang part in the drama, thus no YangKui/GeShi!
