As they exited the cave, they found Old Man Chen standing before them with an eager expression.
His eyes lit up at the sight of the flame trapped in the ice cage in Yun Xiu's hand, and he seemed ready to leap forward and snatch it.
"Congratulations, Sect Master, congratulations," he said, approaching with eager steps.
Yun Xiu, however, suddenly put the flame into her storage, causing Old Man Chen to halt abruptly.
"What is the meaning of this, Sect Master?" he asked, confusion and irritation mingling in his voice.
"Nothing," she replied calmly. "Just come to Sky Wind with me, and I will give it to you."
She couldn't just hand it over like this. She needed him to go to her sect, where he would have no choice but to join.
Old Man Chen's face flushed with anger. "Nice, nice," he muttered. "By the way, I also have a gift for the Sect Master."
"Guardian, how long are you planning to wait?" he called out.
