Chapter 59: What Kind of Underworld Operation Is This?

Under the guidance of the staff, the 1,000 audience members for the third public performance began to enter.

The stage was already being prepared, and the five star mentors were also waiting in the holding room.

Once all the audience members were seated, the five star mentors began their dazzling entrance.

Xu Chujing was wearing a black long dress today, a style that was fitted at the hem, decorated with sequins that looked excellent under the lights, perfectly showcasing her mature pear-shaped figure.

With a pair of black high heels with red soles, every step she took caused a charming sway at her hips. Because the hem was fitted, her long legs would stretch the fabric when she took a stride, revealing the silhouette of her legs beneath.

This Superstar diva still possessed an imposing aura today; standing in the center of the five, she completely commanded a venue of a mere thousand people.

Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo were wearing white knee-length dresses, one with a cold temperament, the other sweet and pure.

The full-of-energy Shen Yinuo even waved frequently at the audience, her attitude friendly.

"Hehe, you guys are so lucky to witness my god-tier live performance today," she thought to herself.

Jiang Ningxi was a bit out of it today, and no one knew what she was thinking.

As for Wei Ran and Li Ge, the two were dressed in all black—description complete.

After the five star mentors appeared, the whole venue erupted in cheers and screams.

When the audience learned that there would be three performances today featuring star mentors, everyone's excitement became even more intense!

—We hit the jackpot, we hit the jackpot!

After maintaining order at the venue, Xu Chujing, as the National Producer Representative, took the lead and began to drive the program flow.

After a rap segment by Li Ge and the introduction of the sponsors, the third public performance officially began.

The schedule for *Creating Idols* had reached a tense stage, with the next round of Elimination claiming 30 people!

The first group of trainees began to take the stage, while the remaining trainees sat in the holding room watching the Live Broadcast.

Luo Mo's Anonymous Team sat in a row, each one sitting very straight, their posture upright.

This formed a sharp contrast with the other trainees.

Military training in an Idol survival show, terrifyingly impressive.

Shen Mingliu and the others glanced at Luo Mo, seeing him in his usual state, lost in thought again, and couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

According to the reliable information they had obtained, they understood Luo Mo's current situation.

The outside world was already full of storms, yet you, the main subject, seem like nothing is wrong, still slacking off at work and collecting double pay.

What kind of big heart is this?

Ji Kangdong and Meng Yangguang exchanged a look, then both shook their heads in unison.

On the contrary, it was Luo Mo's outfit today that made them feel vigilant.

Today, while the others in the Anonymous Team wore black dance costumes with a touch of ancient style, Luo Mo was once again in a red outfit.

This red outfit was a practice suit for Classical Dance, clearly different from the red outfit with fluttering sleeves from the last *Red Actor* performance.

But everyone still had the last red-outfit stage vividly in their minds, and even now, recalling it felt incredibly shocking.

Seeing Luo Mo in red again, they couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

Red-outfit Luo Mo, the eternal god.

Shen Mingliu and the others could not forget that week of washing dishes, that week without yogurt to drink.

Group after group of trainees took the stage, and the quality of the performances was clearly higher than the previous two times.

The trainees with weaker skills had already been eliminated, and the trainees were gradually getting used to this kind of stage with an audience.

According to the program team's arrangement, Luo Mo's group was to perform last this time.

Time passed second by second; waiting was actually quite exhausting, and now it was the turn of Shen Mingliu's team.

"They really are the Atmosphere Group of *Creating Idols*," Luo Mo thought as he took one last look at the big screen before entering the holding corridor.

Shen Mingliu and his team's style continued from last week, still the kind that was quite explosive and noisy.

The conventional tricks to stir up the atmosphere were just those few, such as hitting high notes, hot dancing, or doing a few handsome backflips.

Like in *Street Dance of China*, whenever high-difficulty moves appeared, they were always very explosive.

But as for the finishing touch of this stage, Luo Mo personally felt it was Li Ge's performance.

A Rap Mentor is truly worthy of being a Rap Mentor.

In Luo Mo's view, Li Ge's level was definitely top-tier in the rap circle; this person seemed not to need to catch his breath, and his rapping style was very hardcore, reminding Luo Mo of a certain famous security guard in the rap circle on Earth.

And come to think of it, they even looked quite alike.

The rap content lasted for a full minute, the articulation was extremely fast, feeling like reciting a short essay, yet there wasn't a single breath taken.

Li Ge was putting his heart into this guest appearance; it could be considered him unleashing his ultimate move.

He wanted to let his good buddy Wei Ran, who was also guesting, see: what kind of bullshit love songs, live, mine is the most explosive!

You might call the shots at home, but on stage, Laozi is the best!

In the audience, waves of screams followed one after another; Shen Yinuo had already left the stage to meet up with Luo Mo and the others backstage.

She had gone to change her clothes first, putting on a red outfit almost identical in style to Luo Mo's.

A talented man and a beautiful woman, they were pleasing to the eye standing together, and... strangely festive.

After Shen Mingliu's team left the stage, the Prop Department went up to clear the stage, and once everything was ready, the Anonymous Team began their entrance.

At this moment, the lights were dim, and everyone walked onto the stage in the dark.

Shen Yinuo glanced at Luo Mo, who was striding forward, and felt a bit dazed.

She felt a little nervous, but Luo Mo was steady in his demeanor, his breathing calm, his whole person very relaxed.

This made Shen Yinuo feel quite a sense of security, feeling that he was a very trustworthy partner.

It was as if no matter what happened, he could handle it perfectly.

"Clearly... clearly I have more stage experience!" Shen Yinuo stuck out her tongue, stopped her wild thoughts, and let herself enter the state.

From this moment on, she had to immerse her emotions and view Luo Mo as her... lover.

The group found their positions on the stage; the lights gradually brightened, yet there remained a slightly hazy feeling.

This was a suggestion Luo Mo had made to the lighting technician, hoping the stage lighting would have the feel of flickering candlelight—everyone needed to be seen clearly, but it shouldn't be too bright.

The live audience and the several celebrity mentors looked toward the stage, and soon, audience members let out "Whoa" sounds.

It could be seen that Luo Mo and Shen Yinuo were both wearing red clothes, standing in the very center of the stage.

The remaining team members stood scattered around the perimeter, like guests.

As for the entire stage setup, it was hung with red lanterns and featured red silk ribbons; at a single glance, one could tell this was an ancient wedding.

The theme of the song and the Dancing was already clear.

Wei Ran and Li Ge exchanged a look, and it was obvious that both saw a rich sense of interest in the other's eyes.

Xu Chujing was also looking forward to the upcoming performance.

Honestly speaking, songs with a wedding theme are very clever.

Once this type of song breaks out of its niche, there are great benefits.

For instance, when people propose, get engaged, or get married, they can often use them and play them.

Songs with this kind of utility are relatively easier to spread and also easier to become hits.

The song title began to appear on the big screen—"Double Happiness".

It was just that the design of this character on the big screen was a bit strange; every stroke was very rigid, and the font was designed to be very flat and wide.

Up to this point, the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and everyone felt it was very festive; Luo Mo and Shen Yinuo on stage looked like a perfect match.

Only Jiang Ningxi felt a complex mix of emotions, her brows tightly furrowed; this theme was Dancing completely on her minefield.

What is this, my best friend and my first love are getting married?

This made her entire person instantly even more out of it.

The accompaniment began to echo through the venue, and the sounds of various classical Chinese Yueqi appeared, stirring everyone's emotions.

However, when the first line of lyrics appeared, the face of the top student Jiang Ningxi turned deathly pale, and her body went completely rigid.

This line was sung by Li Junyi, who was also Dancing on the side with a festive look on his face, seemingly congratulating his good friend.

"【The eighteenth of the first lunar month, an auspicious day, the sorghum is carried.】"

Jiang Ningxi stared fixedly at Luo Mo on the stage and thought to herself: "Luo Mo, you are being way too daring with this..."

"Or could it be that there is a loophole in his lyrics?"

Xu Chujing seemed to notice the drastic change in Jiang Ningxi's complexion and gave her a concerned look.

The top student Jiang Ningxi put down her microphone, leaned over to Xu Chujing's side, pointed out the key knowledge, and said:

"According to ancient customs, the first lunar month... is taboo for weddings!"
