Four years ago, he was a talented ice skating youth and the most anticipated best defender in the football world, God Jan. He was a genius racer who had appeared out of nowhere two years ago, and the Qin God who had excellent strength in the sports circle. That year, he was not even 18 years old.

Why can't the little girl see me getting better?" Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak." Race again. I know it has always been your dream."

His words caused the entire cultivation world to go crazy. The fake daughter who thought that she had gotten rid of Lan Zhi turned around and realized that she had lost everything unknowingly.
