Chapter 977: Accident

“Who set this up down there, why isn’t there a net?”

“Damn, this is a cliff, it’s not deep, but falling off could cripple you.”

“How did they get stuck on the edge?

Where’s the crane?

Hurry up and bring it over to rescue!”

“Seems like they weren’t familiar with their position.

While sword dancing, the hilt pushed up and accidentally moved the mask to block their sight.

She panicked and stepped back a long way, then missed a step and fell.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t quite understand.

She stopped someone retreating from the crowd and asked, “Where’s Chu Yao?”

“I’m fine.”

Chu Yao, supported by Sister Mi, jumped down from a protruding rock on the side, walked a few steps to Nan Jiaojiao, and grabbed her.

“Didn’t I tell you to stay put?

Why did you run over here?

If you get lost, where am I supposed to find you?”

Nan Jiaojiao ignored her unnecessary worry, “What’s going on up front?”

“The safety net wasn’t set up properly.

One of my people fell, and now they’re being held on to, waiting for the crane.”

Chu Yao was worried about Nan Jiaojiao, but didn’t take her away.

Instead, she tightened her grip on Nan Jiaojiao’s hand, her palms sweaty.

Words came out of her mouth one by one, but her eyes were fixed ahead, as if ready to rush over at any slightest movement.

Nan Jiaojiao remained silent, didn’t cry out in pain, just stood by her side.

Until someone said, “Can’t wait for the crane anymore, the stone under her foot shattered, she’s dangling outside, and two people can’t hold on!”

Chu Yao hesitated, stomped her foot, looked around for a solution, and suddenly her palm was empty.

“Nan Jiaojiao!”

She looked up, only to see the silhouette of Nan Jiaojiao darting away.

Her shout made everyone turn their heads, seeing nothing but a blur passing by, instinctively stepping aside.

At the front, Nan Jiaojiao saw the situation clearly.

She spun her foot on the ground a few times, twining the waist-high grass at the cliff’s edge together, wrapping it several times to make it stronger, then leaped down.

Holding the grass with one hand, she stepped on the cliff wall a few times to quickly approach, then used the other hand to lift the stunt double’s foot up.

With her strength, the stunt double was quickly lifted up.

Nan Jiaojiao flipped herself up agilely, lost her footing for a moment, and suddenly heard a shout nearby.

She was startled, leaned back, hearing only the howling wind from below and the gasps from everyone around.

Luckily, her balance was steady, and before she bent back completely, she managed to pull herself up.

“Jiaojiao!”

Chu Yao dashed up like an arrow and caught Nan Jiaojiao.

Clinging onto Nan Jiaojiao, even though Chu Yao could stand just fine, she used her weight to pull Nan Jiaojiao down too, rubbing her teary face against Nan Jiaojiao’s hand.

“You little troublemaker, how can you be so troublesome!

I couldn’t even hold you back, do you really think you’re a hero?

So many men here, why did you rush up like that!

Was it necessary?!

You’re really driving me crazy.

If anything happened to you, how would I explain it to your parents—no, to Elder Jiang!”

All the men on the scene: “…”

Sorry, we were useless.

Nan Jiaojiao’s face turned beet red.

Socially dead in public.

She pushed Chu Yao’s hand away in annoyance, “Calm down, why are you acting like this.”

Chu Yao was momentarily stunned, then immediately grabbed her back, “Oh, my worrisome child…”
