Liang Feng was startled for a moment, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Down at the stage, a woman with a sullen expression glanced at Jiang Chen, then hurried to the sound mixer's desk and snapped at the sound engineer, "What are you doing? Shut off his mic now!"

"Oh, okay!" The sound engineer nodded, reaching out to turn off Jiang Chen's microphone.

Slap!

A light sound. A hand grabbed the sound engineer's hand, and a young man next to him said indifferently, "Don't shut it off."

"What do you mean 'don't shut it off'? Who are you? Can you bear the consequences if you damage Liang Feng's reputation?" The woman yelled at the young man.

With a calm face, the young man replied, "My name is Liu Changjiang. I'm a sound engineer at Tianxiang Entertainment."

This person was the sound engineer, Liu Changjiang, who was there the first time Jiang Chen took Ye Yuwan to record at Sihai Entertainment. Since Jiang Chen had become the controller of Longteng Group, based on the principle of resource sharing, some of the outstanding personnel from Sihai Entertainment had been sent by Gong Jianqiang to Tianxiang Entertainment.

"You're just a sound engineer. Can you take responsibility for the consequences? Shut Jiang Chen's mic off now!" The woman growled again.

"Who dares to shut it off!" A low voice shouted, as the selector's person in charge Zhang Lin also arrived at the sound equipment, casting a cold gaze at the woman, "Li Hongxia, stop giving orders to my people."

"You... do you realize the impact it will have on Liang Feng if you let him continue speaking? Do you realize the loss it will bring to the company?" Li Hongxia looked at Zhang Lin furiously.

Zhang Lin smiled coldly and said, "I don't know about the loss to the company, but I do know that no one is going to shut off his mic!"

Turning to the sound engineer, Zhang Lin instructed, "Connect Mr. Jiang's and Liang Feng's microphones to all the amplifiers. I want their conversation to spread throughout the entire Eagle's Nest!"

"Yes." The sound engineer complied, operating a few controls on the device in front of him.

"You... dare! Let me tell you, Director Zhu is also here. If you do this, I'll have Director Zhu fire you!" Li Hongxia's face turned red with anger.

She was Liang Feng's agent and also the cousin of Zhu Chengzheng, the Deputy Director of the Entertainment Division at Tianxiang Entertainment.

"Go ahead and tell!" Zhang Lin said disdainfully, laughing coldly in his heart.

Telling Director Zhu about me? Hah! The one targeting Liang Feng on stage is our chairman of Longteng and the Family Head of the Jiang Family. What good will finding Director Zhu do you?

If Chairman Jiang wants to target Liang Feng, then Liang Feng's career is over. And if you get involved, so is yours!

Li Hongxia glared at Zhang Lin resentfully and turned to run backstage, hoping to find Zhu Chengzheng before things became irretrievable.

"Mr. Liang Feng, please answer my question, the widely spread musical pitch system in the world is divided into seven levels, how did these seven levels come about?" Jiang Chen urged again, seeing that Liang Feng was silent.

As Zhang Lin had connected Jiang Chen's microphone to all the speakers in Eagle's Nest, everyone in the Nest heard Jiang Chen's words, and all the candidates waiting backstage looked towards the speakers with a look of surprise and doubt.

What's going on? Why would someone ask Liang Feng this question? It's basic knowledge! How could Liang Feng, a judge, not know?

The audience in the studio all turned their eyes to Liang Feng, awaiting his response. In some delusional fans' minds, Liang Feng was all-knowing!

"This... your question is quite profound, it's complicated to explain; after the show ends, I'll tell you the answer," Liang Feng said, spinning his eyes, and assuming an air of confidence as he looked at Jiang Chen.

In his view, it must be a very difficult question that Jiang Chen was posing at this moment, and his own answer should not have any errors.

"What?"

"Extremely profound?!"

"This... what's going on?"

"How come Liang Feng..."

"What's so profound about this question?"

Contestants in the studio waiting for their turn to perform were all exclaiming in surprise, and everyone in other parts of Eagle's Nest including those with some music knowledge changed their expressions.

Yè Yùwǎn, Sun Zhihan, and Liao Zhiyuan looked at Liang Feng with shocked expressions.

Hearing the uproar from the audience and seeing the expressions on Yè Yùwǎn and her group, Liang Feng felt a sinking feeling in his heart. What's happening? Is there something wrong with my answer?

Jiang Chen sneered coldly and turned to look at the astonished Lin Ru onstage, "Lin Ru, you answer my question!"

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Zhang Lin hurriedly instructed the sound engineer to connect Lin Ru's microphone to the entire Eagle's Nest's speaker system.

Lin Ru looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled face, wondering to herself, Teacher Liang Feng said it was a profound question, so… is the answer I know wrong?

"Don't overthink it; just say your answer!"

Seeing Lin Ru's expression, Jiang Chen immediately guessed her thoughts, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The production team is really screwed up! Inviting such an amateur as a judge could lead so many astray!

"The basic scale is composed of seven tones which are a product of combining twelve-tone equal temperament with the cycle of fifths. The twelve-tone equal temperament divides an octave into twelve equal parts, creating twelve semitones. Determining which of these tones are fundamental and which are variable borrows from the cycle of fifths."

"The cycle of fifths is derived from comparing half and one-third of a fixed string, which gives the 'perfect fifth' interval in music with the ratio of three to two. By continuously taking two-thirds of a string, you get the tones 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3, 7, and if you continue, you'll start getting the altered tones. Although they are not within the same octave, when combined with the twelve-tone equal temperament, you can get the tones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 within the same octave!"

Lin Ru answered somewhat unconfidently.

"Very good!" Jiang Chen nodded in approval at Lin Ru, then turned to look at Liang Feng, "This is the most basic knowledge of music, Mr. Liang Feng. Is there anything profound or troublesome about it?"

Liang Feng's face had already darkened by the time Lin Ru began to answer. It was basic professional knowledge that any contestant would know. And yet, he, as a mentor, failed to answer it.

It was a direct slap to the face, loud and clear!

"Liang Feng doesn't know the answer to this question? How is that possible?"

"He... is he not a judge? Was it to give the contestants a chance to shine?"

"What chance to shine? He is an actor, since when has he been a singer?"

"This... If he doesn't understand music, why would they make him a judge?"

A buzz of discussion rose throughout Eagle's Nest.

"Mr. Liang Feng, let me ask you another question," Jiang Chen said, ignoring Liang Feng's icy gaze and speaking again, "Do you have any musical works that you are known for?"
