TheWoWDBSeems to be bugged on some Characters/Accounts, some people need the mobs to start hitting Chief Goldbough for the objective to count. So if you're having trouble getting a complete for that objective like me, stay back and wait for the spawned mobs to actually hit the Chief and hope to whatever higher being you believe in that no one else shows up and ruins it for you.

This is not in Guo-Lai Halls. It is high up on a mountain (/way Vale of Eternal Blossoms:1530 20.4, 12.4). You need to talk to the 'bush' (Chief Goldbough) and protect him by killing three waves of mobs.
Still buggy as of Dragonflight. It did nothing for me after 4 tries, reloading also didn't work. After disabling my addons, reloading and making sure the mobs hit the friendly NPC, I got credit.
