"Huh?"

Murong Zining's expression suddenly froze, then she couldn't help but laugh and cry. What on earth was going on!

"Young master, you must be mistaken." Murong Zining shook her head, very politely yet not overly formal, and said: "Zining only made an exception to allow the young master to accompany us to the Miracle Sea because of your talent, not for any other reason."

"Um..."

Jian Chen only felt a flush on his face, but soon thought that Murong Zining was probably just shy and pretending to be reserved.

Then he heard Murong Zining squint her beautiful eyes slightly, with a hint of admiration, and said: "Young Master Jian Chen passed through the Soul-locking Bridge in just an instant, what an extraordinary talent indeed. With your Divine Power, you must at least be at the Emperor Level. Even bringing you as an exception, Grandpa City Lord wouldn't have anything to say. All the other geniuses present shouldn't have any objections either!"

"Passed through the Soul-locking Bridge in an instant?"

This statement stirred up a thousand waves!

The Inner Sea geniuses present stared at Jian Chen in disbelief, "Oh my God, Young Master Jian Chen, when did your Divine Power become so terrifying!"

"Passing through the Soul-locking Bridge in an instant, it took me nearly twenty times as long!"

"No wonder Brother Jian Chen disappeared for more than a month without appearing. It turns out he was diligently training his Divine Sense!"

"Emperor Level Divine Sense, no wonder Lady Murong holds Young Master Jian Chen in such high regard, it truly is impressive!"

Everyone clicked their tongues in admiration, but Jian Chen's old face was nearly red enough to bleed. Damn, when did he pass through the Soul-locking Bridge in an instant?

However, in such a situation, Jian Chen naturally couldn't directly say that Murong Zining had misunderstood. Otherwise, all the admiring gazes might turn to contempt and ridicule in the next second.

In the corner.

Tuoba Yan covered her mouth and laughed gently, "Ling Feng, it turns out that Murong Zining mistook Jian Chen for you! How interesting!"

"Indeed, interesting!" Ling Feng squinted his eyes with a light smile and said, "That Jian Chen really has a thick skin, he can still keep up the act at this point!"

"So, should we expose him?"

Tuoba Yan got excited instantly. Jian Chen's aggressive demeanor earlier made Tuoba Yan quite displeased, so she was naturally eager to see Jian Chen make a fool of himself in public.

"Let's wait a little longer, I want to see how long he can keep up the act."

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow with a smile, thinking to himself that he just casually crossed a bridge, and now it's causing such a sensation. It's really helpless!

"Haha... Genius is ninety-nine percent sweat and one percent talent. I just worked a little harder, that's all."

Jian Chen wiped a cold sweat secretly, feeling insecure inside but had to act confidently.

"Haha, as expected of Young Master Jian Chen, well said. We take you as our role model!"

"No wonder Young Master Jian Chen gets esteemed so highly by Lady Murong; he truly is modest, a true example for our kind!"

Jian Chen's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that the higher he's praised now, the harder he might fall when exposed.

So, no matter what, he absolutely couldn't reveal a flaw!

However, when he looked over at Ling Feng's direction and saw Ling Feng's sarcastic smile, he involuntarily swallowed hard.

Could it be that the person who passed through the Soul-locking Bridge in an instant was this guy?

Buzz!

Instantly, Jian Chen's mind went blank. This... this is all going to come crashing down!

However, seeing that Ling Feng still had no intention of exposing him, Jian Chen felt slightly relieved, swallowed hard, and said with a chuckle, "If you all work as hard as I do, you'll be able to achieve what I have too!"

"The young master is indeed humble, with the demeanor of a master."

Murong Zining said with a gentle smile, "I hope I can chat with the young master privately later. With your talent, I would surely benefit a lot."

"Haha... Sure, sure..."

Jian Chen was secretly sweating, thinking that this time, he might really be exposed.

At this moment, Ling Feng, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, finally stood up from his seat. First, he gave Jian Chen a meaningful look, which made Jian Chen's heart jump to his throat. Jian Chen hastily said, "You... what do you want to do!"

"Haha, what is Young Master Jian Chen afraid of?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled, not even looking at him, and directed his gaze at Murong Zining, giving a slight bow, "Lady Murong, I once stumbled upon a Sea Chart of the Miracle Sea. Could you perhaps tell me where the Secret Treasure is located within the Miracle Sea?"
