Chapter 16: Accident

After having her fill, Su Yanke became quite languid, somewhat sharing the same air as Yuan Hexiao.

As people watched them for a while, they increasingly thought the two were a perfect match. Naturally, they left a private space for the couple.

Suddenly, Yuan Hexiao's phone vibrated. He looked up and saw that Su Yanke had closed her eyes and was resting against a tree. Only then did he slowly take out his phone to check.

He found that it was a call from a special department. He quietly walked to a place out of Su Yanke's earshot before answering it. Before long, Yuan Hexiao frowned.

Su Yanke knew Yuan Hexiao had something on his hands, so she didn't bother him and pretended not to notice. Suddenly, she heard a series of exclamations not far away.

As soon as Su Yanke opened her eyes, she saw a figure teetering on the edge of a cliff. With a closer look, she realized something was wrong—the wire was about to break.

Sure enough, the next second, the figure fell. Su Yanke's figure flashed, and the person under the tree disappeared. Everyone only felt a gust of wind.

The falling person slowed down. When those nearby saw who it was, they gasped in shock. It was actually Su Yanke holding Yan Ruoheng around the waist and walking in mid - air.

It was as if Su Yanke was stepping on air to slow down the fall. This was simply incredible, but it was really happening right in front of them.

Su Yanke activated her light - body technique and used the Cloud - Treading Step to descend. Slowly, she landed safely on the ground. She put down Yan Ruoheng, who was already scared out of his wits, and woke up the dazed staff standing aside.

All this was captured on camera by a sneaky photographer.

The photographer was trembling all over. He knew he had just captured something extraordinary. He might gain a huge number of followers! He also inserted a few photos taken during the meal at the end.

Sure enough, as soon as the video was released, it caused quite a stir, and the internet exploded.

"Damn, what's going on? Is Su Yanke a fairy sister?!"

"My goodness, is this a new special effect? It doesn't feel like a behind - the - scenes video at all!"

"The way the cutie picked him up around the waist is so cool!"

The photographer saw how lively the comment section was and came up with a quicker way to gain followers: going live.

Sure enough, as soon as the live broadcast started, the number of viewers soared to millions.

"I... I'm in love."

"Now my mind is full of the cutie."

"Mom, I'm so lucky! I managed to get into the live broadcast in the first place!"

"The cutie really slays the whole scene!"

"Looking at this too much will make you have dreams!"

"Is the person the cutie is holding Yan Yindi?"

"Really! I just noticed. The cutie is so handsome that I completely ignored the presence of the actor Yan!"

"Sister Su is so cool! What a stunning beauty!"

"Some people do amazing things under the guise of beauty."

"Come on, this is obviously fake. These traffic stars these days will do anything to attract attention."

"Right, it's such an obvious act. Only you brainless fans would believe it."

Yuan Hexiao was also attracted by the shouts. The moment Su Yanke moved, Yuan Hexiao looked at the tree where Su Yanke had been. Sure enough, she was gone. He quickly searched everywhere.

There was another round of exclamations. Yuan Hexiao saw Su Yanke's figure. As soon as she landed, he rushed to her side. He took Yan Ruoheng and threw him aside, then started checking if Su Yanke was injured.

Su Yanke was both amused and touched by his nervousness. She quickly comforted him, saying it was okay. After Yuan Hexiao made sure she was really fine, he suddenly pulled Su Yanke into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Su Yanke originally wanted to push him away because she felt a bit embarrassed, but she found that Yuan Hexiao's body was trembling slightly. Her heart seemed to tremble too, so she didn't push him away.

In the live - broadcast room, the appearance of Yuan Hexiao caused another uproar.

"Who is this man? Damn, isn't he the one in the photo having a meal with the cutie?"

"He... he hugged the cutie, and the cutie didn't push him away!"

"Wuwuwu, I feel like I'm going to have a broken heart!"

"But this man is so handsome. Actually, they look quite a good match. (This is just my personal opinion, lol)"

"The cutie belongs to everyone. This man should go back where he came from!"

"This man must be an accomplice. Maybe it was his idea. Otherwise, how could Su Yanke pull off such a thing alone?"

"Right, this show should end now. You don't really think Su Yanke can fly, do you?"

"Who's talking about Su Yanke?" At this moment, a large group of people walked over. The one who spoke was a young man.

"I'm Su Yanke. Who are you?" Su Yanke asked in confusion, looking at the group of people in dark - blue cloth clothes.

"Damn, aren't these people from the Martial Arts Association? Oh no, Su Yanke is in trouble. It seems they're here to avenge Chen Maohua!"

"Great. Let them also put an end to Su Yanke's fake tricks just now."

The old president Gu stared at Su Yanke with his cloudy eyes. Su Yanke stared back. The old man, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, stood at the front of the group, so he must be their leader.

President Gu's frown deepened as he looked at Su Yanke's face. Just as he was about to say something, a man walked over with a phone. President Gu's face changed when he saw the video on the phone.

When he looked at Su Yanke again, he was extremely excited. He pointed at Su Yanke with a trembling finger, trying to say something.

The people behind President Gu thought their president was so angry after seeing the video of Chen Maohua being beaten that he couldn't speak. So they stepped forward to take revenge for Chen Maohua.

"Su Yanke, do you know your mistake?"

"Mistake? What mistake do I know?" Su Yanke was even more confused. She didn't know any of these people, and they came up and asked if she knew her mistake. Who knew what mistake they were talking about?

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and no one said a word.

Yuan Hexiao stood in front of Su Yanke and said, "President Gu, what exactly are you here for today? If it's not important, don't bother A Yan's rest. If you don't explain clearly, I'll charge you with the crime of illegally detaining a citizen."

Su Yanke was stunned. What did he just call her? A Yan?

"Xiaochen, step back. Marshal Yuan, I'm sorry. I mean no harm. I just have some questions for Miss Su." President Gu had calmed down a bit. After explaining to Yuan Hexiao, he turned to Su Yanke and said.

"Miss Su, I'd like to know if the technique you used just now was the Cloud - Treading Step?"

Su Yanke nodded in surprise. He knew about it too? This was a family - inherited technique of hers!

"Really... It's really her. Hahaha, so she's the descendant of that person! Great! Great! Great!"

Everyone was completely confused by President Gu's reaction and asked him what was going on.

President Gu then slowly explained that Su Yanke was the descendant of an old acquaintance of his, and the Cloud - Treading Step was the family - inherited technique of that acquaintance.

"So, everything just now was real?"

The internet exploded again.

"My god! The cutie is so amazing!"

"Where are those who said it was an act just now? Come out. Does your face hurt?"

Su Yanke was even more confused. An old acquaintance? Did her father know him?

It would have been better if they had just explained. Director Hu, realizing it was a misunderstanding and that nothing serious had happened, came out to smooth things over.

President Gu looked at Su Yanke as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. "Miss Su, I'd like to discuss something with you."

"Please go ahead." Su Yanke looked at President Gu and nodded.

"I was wondering if Miss Su would like to be the new president of the Martial Arts Association?"

"What?!"

The people behind President Gu started to make a ruckus and asked the president for the reason.

"Everyone, be quiet. I've thought about this for a long time. As you all know, martial arts is in decline these days. I'm old and can't teach you much. The Martial Arts Association needs a more powerful and capable person to lead it."

"Miss Su, I know this may be a bit too much to ask, but the Martial Arts Association must not decline in my hands. Please help us! From now on, everyone in the Martial Arts Association will be at your disposal."

"But I've never taught anyone before, and I'm not sure if I'm qualified. Besides, I don't have the time!" Su Yanke said helplessly, shaking her head.

"No no no, you don't need to teach every day. The vice - president will take care of the daily basic training. We just hope to learn a thing or two from you when you need our help in the future!"

"Oh, I see. That's okay!" Su Yanke suddenly felt Yuan Hexiao's hand move on her back, as if he was drawing a tick. Maybe he wanted her to agree? So she agreed.

"Disciples pay homage to President Su!" Everyone knelt on one knee, made a fist, and shouted to Su Yanke.

The photographer suddenly felt his phone was getting hot. When he looked at the screen, it was filled with virtual gifts and was already overheating. The screen was full of bullet comments!

"My god! I'll never be able to match up to the cutie in my life!"

"I can only worship!"

"Mom, I witnessed the birth of a new big shot!"

"My mom asked me why I was drooling on the bed. I can't help it. I can't even close my mouth!"

Director Hu was trembling at the sight. Oh my god, he was the first one to dare to invite the president of the Martial Arts Association to play a supporting role!

Yan Ruoheng had been frightened before and fainted as soon as he landed. Now he had been taken aside by the staff to rest.

"I'm still working. President Gu, please take everyone back to avoid disturbing our work."

President Gu's main concern had been resolved, so there was no reason for him to stay. He left as Su Yanke wished.

"Okay, the matter is settled. Now let's play a guessing game!" Su Yanke said playfully, looking at a person beside the director.

"What guessing game?" Director Hu looked completely confused. He didn't know what Su Yanke meant by this sudden remark.

"Aren't you curious why the wire broke, Director Hu?"

Su Yanke's reminder made Director Hu realize the seriousness of the matter. After all, he was an experienced person. He had been distracted by the matter of the Martial Arts Association before and had overlooked it. Now that he thought about it, he knew something was wrong.

In the following time, Director Hu called out all the prop - checking staff and questioned them one by one. At this moment, Su Yanke suddenly spoke up.
