[Mingjue launches a second behind A-Yao. There's a curl of amusement through the snap of his returned challenge, as well as something a little more serious than that. And if Mingjue races with a sharper edge of emotion than just play, well, he's moving and that's the important thing. He's acting. He's not sitting there, listening to A-Yao speak pretty words at him while he gets more and more frustrated.
And in fact he can feel the frustration bleeding off of him as he pushes Baxia hard with the promise at the fight and the end.
They didn't declare a finish line, so Mingjue's doesn't particularly care so much about that part of the race. What he cares about is keeping watch over A-Yao and trying to keep ahead of him. That and the loop that he does. The speed that he goes.
And A-Yao is fast. Bendy little Hensheng is also zippier than Baxia. Mingjue's fast out of brute force and spiritual 'muscle,' and it shows even in a (complicated) friendly race.
The island isn't overly large either. They're not that far from where they need to land already.]
