The Azure Dragon Mountain Highway wasn't long to begin with, and under Ronan's utterly unreasonable driving, it surprisingly reached its end quickly!

The drone footage showed the sign for the mountain waist transfer station.

The Rose Sword finally began to slow down!

With a perfect braking deceleration, the Rose Sword stopped steadily in front of the transfer station.

Opening the door, getting out of the car, and looking up at the drone's camera, Ronan remained expressionless.

He seemed as if he had just completed something insignificant.

The people on the mountaintop were completely speechless.

"Not a drop of cold sweat... He's not faking it, he genuinely doesn't feel anything."

"Is this speed really controllable by a human?"

"Even professional race car drivers... might not be better, right?"

After a long while, everyone finally came to their senses.

The race was over.

In fact, from the very beginning, the race was already over!

A large red number suddenly appeared on the screen transmitted by the drone!

00'02'07

Two minutes and seven seconds.

Exactly twice as fast as the record held by the so-called "Azure Dragon Mountain Car God," Lin Chenluo!

"Young Master Lin, he's probably going to be very depressed tonight, right?"

"I don't know..."

The crowd gathered in small groups, muttering amongst themselves.

Just then, Jones, who had been holding the megaphone in a daze for a long time, suddenly seemed to snap back to reality and roared into the megaphone, "My God! What have we all witnessed!"

"We have, completely unprepared, witnessed a miracle!"

"Two minutes and seven seconds! Young Master Ronan has created a miracle! The night of revelry has just begun! Let's all head to the transfer station and start tonight's party and celebration!"

Everyone applauded and cheered, and one after another, they began to get into their cars and head to the mountain waist to gather.

Wei Wei and Wang Xiaoman both let out long breaths.

Wei Wei looked at Ronan's bored expression in the drone footage, and a sense of unease couldn't help but rise in her heart.

At first, she thought Ronan was purely a toad wanting to eat swan meat; however, as their bond deepened, she discovered that an incredible secret was hidden within Ronan's body.

Such a person, no matter where he is, is probably destined to shine brightly, right?

Even though Su Xiao had been exiled to the Dragon Capital Province, sixty thousand light-years away, could she really catch up to Ronan—or to put it more bluntly.

Was she worthy?

Fifteen minutes later, at the mountain waist transfer station, everyone gathered together.

Ronan was still leaning against the Rose Sword by himself. Although people occasionally came over to flatter and chat, this guy was a born social insulator—those cold and calm expressions and words gave people a sense of arrogance. These descendants of lower-class nobles naturally felt ashamed and left awkwardly.

Lin Chenluo was the second to arrive. His speed was still not slow. Despite the impact from Ronan, he still completed the entire course in four minutes and eleven seconds. It wasn't his best performance, but it was still a very impressive record.

But in front of Ronan's two minutes and seven seconds, everyone else's so-called racing became a joke!

After getting out of the car, Lin Chenluo silently squatted in front of a computer by himself, repeatedly reviewing the drone footage.

When people next to him spoke to him, he didn't say a word, his face sullen.

A few good friends also knew that the blow the Azure Dragon Mountain Car God had suffered tonight was probably earth-shattering. After comforting him a few times, they could only leave.

Outside the transfer station was an open area, a place these people often used for outdoor parties. At this time, it was already filled with cars and piled high with artificial bonfires. Drinks and food were continuously served by several servants, and those present could take whatever they wanted.

"Aren't you going to eat something?"

After getting out of the Mini Dragon, Wei Wei immediately ran to Ronan.

She had originally wanted to scold him fiercely, she wanted Ronan to know how worried she was—however, when she saw Ronan's calm, almost blank eyes, she instantly understood.

Her worries were unnecessary.

Perhaps in this person's eyes, the race just now probably didn't even count as a warm-up!

Yes, he was the man who had easily defeated Xiang Feihu!

In Su Xiao's eyes, he was even enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Nanbei.

How could such a person take such a small matter to heart?

Thinking this, the bit of frustration and shock in Wei Wei's heart gradually turned into tranquility, and her tone of voice became much gentler: "These people are quite good at having fun. Some of the food tastes good."

Wang Xiaoman followed beside her, nodding like a little follower.

"No need," Ronan forced a smile.

Facing Wei Wei, his mood was actually a bit complicated.

The bold confession on the mountaintop just now still echoed in his mind. He even felt a bit unsure how to face this girl who dared to love and hate.

Refuse her directly?

Even considering the Earl's feelings, Ronan couldn't bear to crush Wei Wei's hopes with a single word. He had also wondered if this was another joke from the little devil, but her eyes and tone told him it wasn't a joke.

That's why he had a headache—at this point, he actually felt that it would be better if it were just a joke.

He carefully chose his words: "I'm not hungry."

Saying this, he suddenly glanced at the owners of the other four cars besides Lin Chenluo.

Their expressions were very ugly, but the bet had already been set, and now it was impossible for anyone to renege.

Wei Wei asked curiously, "Why are you staring at them?"

Ronan said sincerely, "I'm just waiting for them... After the five cars are delivered, I have no interest in staying here."

Wei Wei nodded. By now, she had a little understanding of Ronan.

The little devil immediately walked over quickly and impatiently started lecturing Lin Chenluo:

"Have you watched enough?"

"Car keys?"

"You guys, hand over your car keys! And the extraction passwords!"

The most important thing about a car is often the quality of the Primal Stone, as it is the source of power; therefore, the extraction password is very important when the car is delivered.

Miss Wei Wei switched seamlessly between being a gentle little bird and being incomparably domineering. The few people looked at each other, all smiling bitterly as they handed over their car keys.

Young Master Lin had originally promised to help them win that Rose Sword, but unexpectedly, they ended up losing their own cars! However, they weren't too heartbroken, because Lin Chenluo had always been generous, and since this bet was covered by a few of them on his behalf, he should compensate them.

It was just that, after all, they were in the same circle, and being left behind by such an exaggerated distance in a race really made them lose face.

After the four people obediently handed over their keys, only Lin Chenluo remained as if he hadn't heard anything.

He stared intently at the computer screen, watching the Rose Sword being driven like it was walking on a tightrope, over and over again. His forehead was covered in sweat. Only he knew that at countless critical points, if Ronan's reaction had been even a little slower, what awaited him would have been the destruction of the car and death.

He had checked repeatedly, and that Rose Sword definitely did not have a satellite driving system installed!

"Can pure human operation and reaction actually reach this level..."

He couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

Wei Wei, on the other hand, was a bit annoyed. She held four keys in her hand and only needed Lin Chenluo's Blizzard to report back to Ronan. She said unhappily, "Lin Chenluo! Are you trying to renege?"

"Reneging?" Lin Chenluo finally reacted. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pushed everyone aside and strode directly towards Ronan!

"What is Young Master Lin going to do?"

"Oh no! He's not going to cause trouble because he can't handle the blow, is he!"

"Quick, stop him!"

Everyone was startled and wanted to stop Lin Chenluo, but they didn't succeed.

Because his movements were too sudden, he rushed in front of Ronan in the blink of an eye.

Ronan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The next second, Lin Chenluo clenched his fists tightly, stood in front of Ronan, his eyes full of hunger and thirst, and shouted with extreme sincerity:

"Young Master Ronan! Please teach me how to drive!"

However, Ronan just said softly:

"Car keys."

Old driver, take me! Recommendation votes, cast them!
