Upon hearing his snide remark, An Xiaoning began taking smaller bites and followed him quietly.
Tuoba Gucheng chucked a hand inside his pocket and strode forward quickly.
Once they reached the car, Tuoba Gucheng turned around abruptly and instructed his bodyguards, "You don't have to come along."
"Your Highness…"
"I'll bring just Mu Ning along. We'll be attracting unnecessary attention if there are too many of us."
They then got into the car and set off to Tuoba Danxue's mansion to pick Tuoba Danxue, Zhi Yin, and Tuoba Shuo up.
After everyone got inside the car, they proceeded to meet Byron at the foot of the mountain.
As expected, Byron only brought Lance along.
Together, they all made their way up the stairs to the peak of the mountain.
The air was exceptionally fresh and the cool breeze made the weather much more enjoyable.
They took more than one hour to reach the summit.
