A few burly men rushed forward, dragging each other by their legs. There was also someone who had nowhere to grab their hands, so he simply grabbed Xie Jingbai's hair.

Although Xie Jingbai struggled with all his might and cursed at the same time, he was still dragged out of the room by the big guys like a dead pig.

Soon, sounds of punches and kicks could be heard from the corridor outside as they gradually disappeared into the distance.

Xiang Jin was at the back, and although he slightly bowed when he passed by Liu Yanxia, he did not say anything. It was obvious that Liu Yanxia had told him beforehand, not wanting to reveal his identity in front of too many people.

"..."

At this moment, the competition outside was in full swing. The contestants were all using their full strength, and the atmosphere was very warm. The audience was mesmerized.

Fatty, Scrawny Monkey and Ma Dazhuang were seated in the front row of the VIP seats. Their throats had turned hoarse from shouting, but Fatty and Scrawny Monkey had already entered a crazed state.

Duan Lingfei and Liu Yanxia had already left for nearly an hour, and seeing that the performance was almost over and no one was back, would something happen?

Just as he was muttering in his heart, he noticed Liu Yanxia's figure walking out from the backstage, and returning to his seat without saying a word.

"That... Young Master Liu, where's Duan Lingfei? Is he okay? " Ma Dazhuang went forward and said.

"You'll see him soon." Liu Yanxia said while patting Ma Dazhuang's shoulder, showing him that he was relieved.

On stage, Zhou Binn was once again on stage: "Everyone, is tonight's show exciting?"

"Brilliant!" A chorus of responses erupted from below the stage.

"Does everyone enjoy watching this?"

"Fun!"

"Do you have any more expectations?"

"Yes!" Shouts erupted from below the stage. Some of the spectators had already guessed what he was going to say and started waving the LED screen in his hands crazily. All of them, without exception, were Lin Xiyue's names.

"I can guess what everyone is looking forward to!" Zhou Binn laughed: In the last round, there was a participant who used his outstanding talent and looks to win over the judge and audience, and obtained first place. Now, on the internet, there are even people who have given her the title of "Next Station Sky".

He deliberately dragged out his tone and used his provocative tone to shout out Lin Xiyue's name, causing waves of cheers to rise from the audience, and the sound waves nearly overturned the roof of the recording studio.

Seeing that, even Zhang An An, who was sitting in the judge's stand, laughed and said to HE Mannxue: "The next stop, one day, sounds like your successor, Xiao Xue. This rate of popularity is really enviable!"

HE Mannxue also responded with a smile, "You can't say that. Lin Xiyue is very talented, maybe in a few years, she will surpass me."

Wang Yuanyi from the side also interrupted, "Although it's difficult, with regards to Entertainment Circle, who can predict?"

Only Li Qiao sat in the jury box with a cold face, not saying a word.

On the stage, Zhou Binn had already stirred up the emotions of all the spectators, "As the champion of the previous competition, Lin Xiyue was arranged to be the last person to be ranked in the finale. In order to give her a shocking performance, the program team specially found an outstanding assistant for her.

Before he finished speaking, another round of cheers came from the audience. After all, Xie Jingbai had gained quite a bit of recognition in the past two years in Entertainment Circle, and this guy was good at disguising and making fun of himself. Many people did not understand his personality and became his fans.

But before the cheers continued, Zhou Binn's face changed, he used his hand to cover his headphones, and nodded slightly, as though he had communicated with the production team.

Then, he spoke again, "Everyone is very sorry, I've just received news that Mr. Xie Jingkang is not feeling well and is unable to participate in the next performance, so I can only find a temporary replacement."

The moment those words left his mouth, the audience started booing.

Everyone knew that in order to prepare for this performance, the contestants and their assistant had secretly trained for nearly half a month.

Who would be the one to go up? Would the lack of practice affect Lin Xiyue's performance? Was the excuse that Xie Jingbai was not feeling well true? Was there a conspiracy?

For a moment, discussions filled the air, even Zhang An'an, Wang Yuanyi, and HE Mannxue who were seated in the judge's area also looked at each other, while a faintly discernible sneer hung on the corners of Li Qiao's mouth. He secretly took out his phone to take a look.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not worry." Zhou Binn, who was on stage, pressed down with both hands and indicated for everyone to be quiet: "Although this matter happened out of the blue, the program team has already found the perfect candidate, and I can assure everyone that there will be no problem for them to come to a tacit understanding between this mysterious coaches and Lin Xiyue."

With just one sentence, it had piqued everyone's interest.

"I have to remind everyone that this mysterious assistant also appeared in the last performance, right?" Zhou Binn deliberately kept him in suspense.

The moment the words left his mouth, many people below had already guessed it, and immediately some of them exclaimed: "It's Duan Lingfei?"

"Yes, it must be him!"

"He and Lin Xiyue are classmates, and the last time, « Evening Primrose » was his work. Their tacit understanding is definitely not a problem!"

"What kind of classmate?" It's obviously a couple, okay? "

"Pfft, Lin Xiyue is my goddess, how can he have a boyfriend!"

"Just drop it, you're not going to take a piss. How are you going to be worthy of standing there for the next few days?"

"That's right, why aren't you looking at Duan Lingfei? and her are a perfect couple, why are you coaxing her!"

All of a sudden, the atmosphere on the field became even more heated than before.

"Next, everyone please enjoy the piano, violin concerto — —《 Valley of the Dragons》 that Lin Xiyue and Duan Lingfei brought."

Zhou Binn said with deep emotion, right after he finished speaking, the entire stage suddenly darkened, all the lights were extinguished and after a while, the two lights on the roof suddenly turned on, and the white light shone onto the left and right sides of the stage.

There were two figures on each side. The tall boy on the left was wearing a black tailcoat and a red bow tie. He was tall and had sharp eyebrows and held an orange violin in his hand like a medieval prince.

The girl on the right was wearing a gorgeous white dress with a white veil covering her head. A faint mist rose from under her feet, making her look like a celestial fairy.

The audience was stunned at first, but soon after, they broke out into warm applause.

Amidst the applause, Duan Lingfei walked to the center of the stage, and Lin Xiyue also walked to the piano. The two spotlights above their heads continued to shine, causing the two of them to be bathed in a gentle white light.

At this point, the two of them suddenly looked at each other, smiled at each other in tacit understanding, and bowed towards the audience at the same time.

This meant that the performance was about to begin.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
