Upon hearing such an agitated voice, Xie Wenqiang swiftly stood up as well.

Soon, he also saw Xie Ling'er walking towards them...

And he noticed other people accompanying her beside Xie Ling'er.

"It seems, the Family Head has truly found some help this time!"

Just as he was about to cheer excitedly, Xie Wenqiang suddenly furrowed his brows...

For he saw clearly that the person following Xie Ling'er was a young man who appeared to be only about twenty years old.

Xie Wenqiang noticed this, and so did Xie Wenlei.

After restraining his smile, he frowned and whispered, "What does this mean? Why did the Family Head bring a young man whose beard hasn't even fully grown yet? Could it be... could it be because we couldn't find a suitable helper, so we're just choosing randomly in desperation?"

This thought entered his mind, and he looked towards Xie Wenqiang.

He noticed his expression was the same as his own...

In that moment, he knew that his brother Xie Wenqiang likely shared his thoughts.

"Big brother... this..."

"Stop the chit-chat! Let's go and see what's really going on first!"

"Alright then!"

As he agreed thusly, Xie Wenlei's face was filled with disinterest...

In his view, any more observation was just a waste of time...

Of course, although he thought this way, Xie Wenlei still lazily followed the stern-faced Xie Wenqiang as they walked forward!

...

Hu Xiaobei hadn't noticed them at this time!

Because his attention was wholly captured by the vast ruins...

Since earlier on, Hu Xiaobei had found the place to be truly majestic...

Although it looked like a completely withered ruin, it still gave Hu Xiaobei a feeling of grandeur.

Hu Xiaobei knew that if the site were to be completely restored, it would definitely become the most breathtaking building...

"Not seeing that splendor is truly a pity!"

While Hu Xiaobei was feeling sentimental, Bai Xuening, following behind him, was also stunned...

It was her first time witnessing such a shocking scene...

"If the Xie Family hadn't been secretly guarding this place, our other Hidden Families might have already perished."

As she reminisced thus, Bai Xuening looked up towards the vast mist ahead...

She knew there was an immensely powerful Array there, and the Array was formidable...

Even from this distance, Bai Xuening could feel a twinge of fear!

"The Xie Family's mastery in Arrays is truly terrifying! If Bai Xuening had also fought desperately five years ago, it would really be hard to say whose hands the prey would fall into!"

While feeling scared at this thought, Bai Xuening heard footsteps...

Turning her head, Bai Xuening saw two elders with stern faces quickly walking towards them...

The moment she saw them, Bai Xuening felt they looked familiar!

After looking carefully for a short while, Bai Xuening recognized that they were the two Array Grandmasters who had once been influential in the Xie Family.

Bai Xuening recognized them, but Hu Xiaobei hadn't...

Because Hu Xiaobei had never met them before...

But when Hu Xiaobei saw them, his expression unconsciously turned serious.

Because on them, Hu Xiaobei sensed a trace of danger.

Hu Xiaobei knew their mastery in Arrays was high, otherwise, he wouldn't have felt this sense of danger!

"They might be the two Array Grandmasters that Xie Ling'er mentioned earlier."

After this thought emerged, Hu Xiaobei heard Xie Ling'er speaking softly, "Elders, you have really worked hard during this period."

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei knew his guess was completely correct!

At that time, Hu Xiaobei heard Xie Ling'er continue, "Let me introduce to you, this is Bai Xuening, the Bai Family Head! And this person, who I've brought as help, is Hu Xiaobei. He will join us later to strengthen this gradually eroded Array."

Hearing Xie Ling'er introduce him, Hu Xiaobei smiled warmly at them...

After smiling, Hu Xiaobei felt somewhat gloomy!

Because he realized they seemed to have ignored him!

Hu Xiaobei wasn't too upset because he had anticipated such a situation might occur!

"Smooth chins are unreliable at work!"

The two Array Grandmasters, seeing how young he was, certainly didn't believe in his capabilities, so their current disregard for him was within reason.

Thinking thus, Hu Xiaobei heard them speak impatiently!

"Family Head, we must have made it very clear to you earlier! The Array that we need to reinforce this time is extremely powerful, requiring four Grandmaster-level individuals. Your strength is a bit lacking; it's already challenging enough for the two of us to include you, so the next helper must be unquestionable. And now you've brought such a young man; what is this supposed to mean?"

They felt like crying out of frustration!

Because, upon closer observation, they realized Hu Xiaobei was even younger than they had imagined!

They both knew they were seasoned Grandmasters of the Array...

Compared to other Grandmasters, their own strength was slightly superior, so they could barely manage with Xie Ling'er's slightly inferior skills...

But they could only manage one!

That was why, seeing Xie Ling'er bring along such a young man like Hu Xiaobei, they were speechless.

...

They were truly disheartened at that moment.

In their perception, Xie Ling'er was a very numerate person; logically speaking, she shouldn't have brought such a young man.

Hearing their discontent, Xie Ling'er smiled.

After glancing at Hu Xiaobei, she softly explained, "Elders, although Hu Xiaobei looks a bit young, his Array skills are indisputable. He..."

Xie Ling'er had not finished speaking when Xie Wenlei, clearly impatient, interrupted her directly.

"Family Head, are you joking? This Hu Xiaobei is very capable? Let me put it this way! Even if he had started studying Arrays from the womb, he couldn't possibly be that skilled, given how young he is."

Both Xie Wenlei and Xie Wenqiang had begun studying Arrays from a very young age.

It was because of this systematic study that they understood better than anyone how difficult it was to become an Array Master.

Precisely because they understood this, they completely disbelieved Xie Ling'er's words at that moment.

To be honest, if Hu Xiaobei had a beard and was seventy or eighty years old, they might have believed Xie Ling'er.

But Hu Xiaobei looked far too young now, making it impossible for them to believe.

Hearing their doubts, Xie Ling'er silently sighed...

Soon, she turned to look at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, it seems the elders don't quite believe in you. Why not show them a little something now?"

"Okay!"

After agreeing readily, Hu Xiaobei looked at them...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei simply said, "I know the elders don't believe in my capabilities. So now, I will demonstrate properly. Please watch closely."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they sluggishly glanced at him.

Feeling their indifference, Hu Xiaobei said nothing!

He knew that actions spoke louder than words.

Now, if he didn't perform convincingly, no amount of talking would make them believe.

...

"Xiaobei can definitely do it!"

Bai Xuening, who had accompanied Hu Xiaobei, sensed their disdain and clenched her fists, muttering unconsciously...

She had complete faith in Hu Xiaobei...

To be honest, even if Hu Xiaobei claimed he could pluck the moon from the sky, she would believe him...

Because from the beginning until now, Hu Xiaobei had never failed...

Unaware of Bai Xuening's thoughts, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath and quickly began forming hand gestures!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei set up a very small mini Array right in front of them...

This gradually forming mini Array captured their attention...

They noticed that Hu Xiaobei's technique was indeed not bad...

But soon, they lost interest.

Because any Array Master with a bit of practice could display decent technique.

Gradually, their gaze became focused...

Because they noticed Hu Xiaobei's technique seemed to be getting more complicated...

"Is this... an illusion?"

Muttering thus, they watched Hu Xiaobei intently and realized he was setting up an Eight Trigrams Array!

After seeing clearly, they were stunned!

"Does this kind of Eight Trigrams Array require such complex gestures?"

After this murmur, they watched even more intently.

Soon, the astonishment in their eyes grew more intense.

Because they realized that the Eight Trigrams Array Hu Xiaobei was setting up was not a simple one but one they had never seen before; this Array was hundreds of times more complex than any they had encountered...
