26 Who’s Holding You Back?

The top of the mountain was three hours away from where they were. If they were fast, it would only take two hours. Adding the time it would take to return to the halfway point and then to the foot of the mountain, it would total to at least six hours.

Fortunately, the scenery was splendid. If he could not bear to look at Zhao Yanzi, he could at least find consolation in the beautiful views.

Needless to say, Hao Ren would not let her get out of sight so easily. Taking a deep breath, he sped up and followed closely behind her.
