Everyone was talking about it, as if they had seen Jingchuan's embarrassing failure.
Only Xiao Mingyin frowned and said nothing.
Unlike them, he witnessed with his own eyes how Jingchuan climbed to the fourth floor of Jiuling Pagoda.
Even though a long time had passed, when he recalled the scene at that time, he still felt it was vivid and clear as if it happened yesterday.
He remembers it clearly.
The young man in white almost effortlessly stepped onto the steps that he could not climb no matter what.
Even Ye Xiyue didn't have such a relaxed and calm look.
Everyone only knew that Ye Xiyue had climbed to the fifth floor and was a rare genius, but they didn't know that on that day, Jingchuan was only one step away from the fifth floor.
Xiao Mingyin was on the third floor at the time and didn't know what happened after Jingchuan went up to the fourth floor.
But he was sure in his heart that it would definitely be nothing to Jingchuan.
The young man only had Ye Xiyue in his eyes and heart, and he never took Jiuling Pagoda into consideration from the beginning to the end.
Xiao Mingyin originally didn't want to admit this.
Because that means that Jingchuan may have even more terrifying potential than Ye Xiyue!
So after that, he didn't mention what happened in Jiuling Pagoda to anyone, and even deliberately ignored Jingchuan.
However, it was not until this moment, when Xiao Mingyin saw Jingchuan crossing the Qingfeng River so neatly and calmly, that Xiao Mingyin finally realized that it was useless to blindly avoid and deny some things.
Jingchuan... is even more unfathomable than he previously expected!
Realizing that Xiao Mingyin was still sullen and seemed to be in a bad mood, Ji Yang and others were stunned.
"Your Highness?"
They rarely see Xiao Mingyin's emotions so exposed, which shows that the situation is unusual.
Could it be... that he was unhappy because he saw Jingchuan getting ahead?
A young man next to him smiled and said:
"Your Highness is not worried that Jingchuan will get ahead of us, right? Don't worry! With this small gap, we can catch up in the blink of an eye!"
"That's right. Your Highness's talent and strength are both top-notch. In this assessment, the number one priority should be that His Highness didn't run away. Why should you take it to heart when it's just Jingchuan?"
"Your Highness, even if you let him go for a while, he will still be unable to do it. You just don't know when he will fall into the river? That must be very exciting! Hahaha!"
A group of people burst into laughter.
Xiao Mingyin did not smile.
He frowned and his face became darker, but he didn't want to explain too much to them. In the end, he just said coldly:
"Walk!"
After saying that, he moved and started heading towards Miluo Mountain.
Ji Yang and others quickly followed.
"Hey - Your Highness! Wait for us!"
In fact, they are not weak in strength. Even if they don't join forces, they can barely cross the Qingfeng River.
But in that case, it will definitely be much slower, and it is not as easy as joining forces.
However, Xiao Mingyin did not join forces with anyone else.
He has the strength and confidence.
What's more, he was aiming for the first place, and he had a sense of pride in his heart.
Then Jingchuan acted alone, why couldn't he?
Xiao Mingyin indeed has two brushes.
Ji Yang and others joined forces, and with their combined efforts, they were able to maintain the same speed as Xiao Mingyin.
In this way, a burst of praise and admiration is inevitable.
They had said this in the past, and Xiao Mingyin would often be in a good mood.
But today, after hearing what he said, Xiao Mingyin's face seemed to be even worse.
