The two were in the middle of an argument.
Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway. "Senior Brother Ming Yan, could you please open the Array for me?"
When Xiao Chen saw the Azure Flame Sect attacking, he had wanted to go out and meet the enemy. It was only then that he discovered his Array Flag was useless against the fully activated Mountain Protection Array.
It wasn't that there was a problem with the Array Flag.
Instead, when the array was set to maximum Defense, its primary design was to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.
That was why Xiao Chen had come to find Master Ming Yan, hoping he would deactivate the Array and let him out.
"You're... Xiao Chen?"
Yunxiang Daoist was stunned when she heard him say "Senior Brother Ming Yan."
She turned to look at the young man. He seemed somewhat unfamiliar; she'd only seen him a few times when her Divine Sense happened to sweep over the sect's main hall. Uncertain, she asked, "You've already reached Core Formation?"
