However, your piano skills have given you away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robot shook his head: “Don’t scare me, not many people know I can play the piano.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, Liu Xu commented: “Swan’s piano skill is in the upper-range among singers, but your piano skill is excellent even among singers, it’s almost professional.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s high praise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost professional level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over ninety-five percent of singers don’t have this level of skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This round, the show reached its peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Backstage waiting area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piggy Qiqi covered her masked face: “I thought it was a good thing that I drew the fifth out of the hat, but why did I have to follow Teacher Robot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piggy Qiqi is in the same situation as the Magician from the last round!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s having a hard time taking over the stage from the King of Singing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there is no other choice; when push comes to shove, she just has to plough through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she finished her song, all the judges were shaking their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You were nervous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your heart wasn’t strong enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You were clearly affected by the presence of the robot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You performed a bit off today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piggy Qiqi started crying. Even though her face was obscured by a mask and her tears were invisible, her shaky voice couldn’t hide her emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good session of evaluation unexpectedly turned into a large scale consolation session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this is quite a common scene in variety shows anyways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Backstage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong sighed, saying: “The Magician was right. Drawing lots is a form of metaphysics. If she was following the wanderer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong suddenly closed her mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My goodness, that was a close call to offend someone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my words were broadcasted, I would have offended so many people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Yuan naturally added: “If she followed the Wanderer, Piggy Qiqi’s performance would have been better. But, this is no big deal. The only solution when this happens, is to catch up with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still so daring, that’s just like you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But aren’t your words a bit too arrogant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catch up with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it that easy to catch up after the King of Singing finishes his song?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince of Lanling has already demonstrated to the audience in the last episode how to take over after the King of Singing finishes his song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, while the words are crude, the logic isn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you drew a bad lot and your previous opponent is too strong, then you just have to keep up with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please prepare, Prince of Lanling…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The programme team’s reminder came through the loudspeaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan and Tongtong both stood up to go to the waiting area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the introduction by the host, Lin Yuan finally stepped onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince of Lanling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince of Lanling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince of Lanling!”Despite the various voices online, there was still a large portion of the live audience who supported Prince of Lanling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone blindly follows the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some audience members genuinely love Prince of Lanling’s magical falsetto!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the audience didn’t expect was that before Prince of Lanling even started singing, a piano was slowly raised onto the stage through a lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four judges laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panel of judges exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience was a bit stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piano?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another piano performance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Swan played the piano, the robot played the piano, and now Prince of Lanling wants to play the piano too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they agree to make this a piano-special episode today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we’re talking about piano playing, the robot had already performed exceptionally well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Swan was overshadowed by the Robot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The judges had publicly commented that the robot had a close-to-professional level of piano skills…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Prince of Lanling dares to play under these circumstances?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Backstage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Swan shook her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has no choice. Before the competition, no one knows how the other singers would perform. The piano was pre-rehearsed, it’s hard to change plans at this point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Swan’s agent consoled: “Your piano playing was also great!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Swan shrugged: “I’m not so ungracious. I admit when I’m beaten. Had I known the Robot would play the piano so brilliantly, I wouldn’t have attempted to ‘show off my slight skill before an expert’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent’s assistant said: “So, this round isn’t looking good for Prince of Lanling…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Swan laughed: “Even if his piano playing is not up to par, it doesn’t really matter. Prince of Lanling’s level of falsetto is undeniable. Advancing should be a piece of cake. At least in the initial rounds, no one can easily eliminate him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Prince of Lanling reveal his trump card in the first round?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does it matter? Some people’s trump cards are such that even if you know about them in advance, you still can’t think of a way to deal with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Many thanks to [Under the Moon, a Dance and a Song with Luili]for becoming the 36th Alliance Hierarch of this book.
