Chapter 524: The True Winning Streak

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling stood on the stage.

She was nonchalant as she gazed at the chaos below the stage as if she were not the one who triggered this scene at all. There were a deep arrogance and elegance about her appearance. It was subtle but strong, leisurely but restrained and calm.

That was the true temperament of someone cultured.

In contrast, Xia Yu was humiliated after being sent away.

The emcee suddenly realized that she should not provoke this girl. However, since she already provoked her, even if she smiled dryly, she had to finish this segment. “Xiao Ling, since you’re already on stage, how about you join in the IQ quiz? You can win a few attractive prizes.”

“I’m not interested.” Xia Ling replied clearly as before.

Below the stage, the original crowd that was immersed in Xia Yu’s scandal suddenly noticed that Xia Ling was still on the stage.

“Ye Xingling, participate in the IQ quiz!”

“Yeah, we really want you to!”

They used their hands to amplify their voices and shouted at the stage.

Right now, they felt that this girl was very smart, even smarter than Xia Yu. This was because just as she was being called out, she knew how to turn a disadvantageous situation into an advantageous one. She took the initiative to counter and chased her biggest competitor off the stage.

She was just too quick-witted.

However, Xia Ling could only smile bitterly. What was there to expect? Besides singing, she did not know anything else. Even when she sang, she was not as familiar with music like the industry gurus. This IQ quiz involved all these aspects, and she was afraid that she would end in defeat.

“I really can’t do it.” She did not hide it. “I spend all of my time singing.”

“How about we talk about my relationships?” Recently, the gossip about her was widespread, and people started cheering in the crowd.

“Ok…” She had good stage presence and did not panic after being asked any question. In contrast, she felt calmer than before. She slightly tilted her head, and her voice became softer and clearer. “Well, not all about love. Last year, I had a difficult pregnancy, and my child died. So, I’m busy investigating and recovering from this incident. I don’t have much time to read for leisure, and my knowledge is very limited.”

Her appropriate self-explanation was short but sympathetic.

Unconsciously, many people thought of the little baby who had died not long ago and felt sorrowful, so they were more forgiving towards her. “It’s ok. We won’t laugh at you if you lose.”

However, Xia Ling really did not like to lose.

However, if this continued, the audience would be let down.

She thought about it and said in a gentle voice, “How about I sing a song for everyone here.” After that, she turned to look at the emcee. “I don’t know if I can do this. Is this against the rules?”

The emcee was in tears. Of course, it was against the rules. However, since she mentioned it, and the crowd was anticipating it, she didn’t dare to say that it was against the rules now because she would be attacked by the angry fans. The emcee was fearful of that and said, “I can make an exception this once.”

Xia Ling finally smiled. She thanked the host and presented a song to the audience below the stage. She was a Diva in her past life, so her singing skills were perfect. She had also experienced so many emotional changes in this life that the emotions in her song were delicate and impeccable.

Although it was only an impromptu song, her performance was moving and perfect. At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause. She bowed her head gracefully and closed the curtain.

On this day, the news of what happened during the music festival was released again. Skyart Entertainment’s public relations department also included her last elegant gift after Xia Yu was chased off stage. When the two incidents were side by side, Xia Yu’s fall from grace was more obvious, while Xia Ling was noble and beautiful.

Li Lei scrolled down the webpage, satisfied. He decided to increase the salary of the public relations department.

The online anti-fans were very formidable. They were not finished after talking about Xia Yu’s loss to Ye Xingling yesterday and continued to criticize her for being shameless the next day.

Everyone hated her for lip-syncing and were unkind about it.

As for Xia Ling, although everyone did not know that she deliberately exposed Xia Yu, the first time Xia Yu’s lip-syncing was exposed was when she competed with her. The second time when she was chased out of the music festival, she was also trying to compete with her. They all thought of Xia Ling as an angel and had a good impression of her, especially the fans of the singers that Xia Yu defeated in her previous rounds. They all supported her and thanked her for giving their idols a new chance.

What was the chance?

Speaking of it, this was actually disadvantageous for Xia Ling.

Due to Xia Yu’s lip-syncing during the arena battle, the music festival organizers announced that the contest was invalid and that they would organize another one. As the final winner of the invalid contest, Xia Ling would be the main challenger of the new competition.

This meant that she was the first one to stand on stage.

Besides Xia Yu’s lip-syncing, no one had ever managed to win from the start until the end during the music festival arena battle and be the ultimate champion.

This meant that the first person to appear was like cannon fodder and a stepping stone for others.

The masses sympathized with Xia Ling. Initially, she safely became the winner, but due to unexpected changes, she lost her title.

A music festival reporter made a special trip to interview Xia Ling and asked her, “Miss Ye, do you feel that this arrangement is a pity or feel any dissatisfaction?”

“I don’t feel dissatisfied at all.” Xia Ling maintained her usual attitude. When she faced the camera, she appeared cold and indifferent. “That’s because no matter how many times this happens, the final winner will always be me.”

“Wow. Such confidence!” The reporter was surprised.

Xia Ling smiled at the camera. “I’ll only know the result if I try it. Along the way, I also want to educate some people and let them know that they don’t have to lip-sync to win from the start to the end.”

This interview sent waves after it was broadcasted—

“Ye Xingling may be too overconfident. There are so many music festivals and so many singers who failed to achieve this goal. Why does she think she can do it just because she says so?”

“However, I’m still looking forward to it. If she can really win from start to end and become the champion with her own strength, won’t she be viciously trampling on Xia Yu’s already very humiliating situation?”

“That’s right. In that case, Xia Yu will be too ashamed to show her face.”

Everyone was anticipating the new round of the arena contest. On the day of the competition, the audience was filled, and there were a few times more people than the initial crowd.

Xia Ling wore a beautiful dress with gorgeous hair accessories loosely attached to her flowy hair. Once she appeared, she attracted everyone’s attention. As she raised her microphone and sang the opening song, her voice was mesmerizing and beautiful.

There was no surprise. She won the first round.

The second round, the third round…

The rounds ended, and no one could really compete with her.
