Nezha and Yang Chan arrived, a development that was indeed beyond Sha Chen's expectations. The two of them came together, lingering outside the Flowing Sand River for a while and concealing their tracks before finally entering its mists and appearing before the entrance to the Black Tortoise Cave.
Yang Chan said, "Big Brother Sha Chen, it's me, Yang Chan. Please open the gate and let us in."
Nezha also declared who he was, "Master Sha Chen, I am Nezha and have come to seek an audience."
Although Nezha was already one of Sha Chen's followers and had actively sought to become his disciple, he had not yet succeeded in doing so. Therefore, he always addressed Sha Chen as Master. While this address was somewhat formal, it was still appropriate.
