Chapter 248: A song

"How else do you want to win?"

"Admit defeat."

"Brothers, charge, let's blast the Ruthless Empress."

"The opportunity is here!"

"Brother Yu is only 8 votes away from a perfect score, I don't believe you can still win; winning again would be a dark operation!"

"Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

"I have to say, being able to push Guo Yu to this extent, you're quite something."

"Zhou Ru, I have never hated you as much as I do now."

"……"

At this moment.

When the Ruthless Empress stood on the stage.

The first thing that greeted her in the bullet comment section wasn't "welcome" or "go for it," but criticism and attacks.

Guo Yu's fan army had appeared.

They had been waiting for an opportunity.

And now, when Guo Yu got a super high vote count and was sure to win, the opportunity they had been waiting for finally arrived.

They wanted to blast the Ruthless Empress.

They wanted to spray her until she was bruised and battered.

These bullet comments now were just a small test.

Many of Guo Yu's fans were still waiting.

They were waiting for the Ruthless Empress to lose the competition.

They were waiting for Guo Yu to become the champion.

They were waiting for the Ruthless Empress to reveal her face.

There was only one song's time left.

Almost there.

Almost there.

Soon, the Ruthless Empress would fall from the high platform.

And at the venue.

The live camera first turned to Earth.

She wore a mask and waved at the camera.

Next.

The camera turned to the audience.

The audience's mood at the venue wasn't high.

They had just been ignited by the Avenger.

At this moment, they hadn't come out of that state yet.

"It will be very difficult for the Ruthless Empress to take over this stage," one of the celebrity guest singers said, turning to Master Composer Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao nodded.

Heavenly King Guo Yu + Huang Xue Jian's masterpiece...

This was a top-tier trump card!

Even though he had already guessed that the Ruthless Empress on stage was actually Xu Mingyue herself.

He still felt that this was somewhat difficult for Xu Mingyue.

Of course, only somewhat.

He had full confidence in these twins.

"For this round, what song are you going to sing? How will you sing it?" Shen Xiao narrowed his eyes, becoming interested.

Just now in the audience seats behind, others said the Ruthless Empress would definitely lose this round, but he didn't think so.

Because Xu Mingyue had always been a name full of legends and miracles.

Backstage lounge.

Su Xue secretly cheered for her good sister, her expression very nervous.

She knew that this competition was also one that Xu Mingyue couldn't afford to lose.

Since they debuted in the music scene, they had been invincible most of the time.

If the Ruthless Empress lost later, and when they revealed their faces, it was discovered they weren't Zhou Ru, but Xu Mingyue... then the fun would be huge.

It would probably be even more shocking and sensational than the Avenger losing to the Ruthless Empress.

……

Everyone's thoughts were complex, all in an instant.

In the studio, it had quieted down.

Near the stage.

The musicians looked at the Ruthless Empress. Unlike the audience who didn't think the Ruthless Empress would win, they were very excited, because they knew what kind of masterpiece they were about to play.

Seeing the musicians' gaze, Xu Youyue nodded slowly.

In an instant, the mixed intro of Chinese classical instruments and Western instruments began.

With the erhu as the main sound, the atmosphere seemed inexplicably sad.

At the same time.

Behind the Ruthless Empress, the big screen on stage suddenly lit up.

On the screen was a calligraphy image.

In the center, the song information appeared:

Song Title: "Orchid Pavilion Preface"

Composer: Earth

Lyricist: Earth

Arranger: Earth

"Still a song written by Earth?"

"Who is he? Which Master Composer is he?"

"Calligraphy? Chinese elements! Is this a national style song?"

"……"

Many doubts arose in the audience's hearts, but no one gave them an answer.

Shen Xiao listened to the intro, his eyes lighting up.

He had always felt that the songs written by Xu Mingyue were truly absolute!

Even in many songs, the lyrics were also superb!

At this time, the intro ended, the Ruthless Empress picked up the microphone, and her clear, ethereal singing spread out:

"Copying the Orchid Pavilion, the running script is like flowing clouds and water,

Pushing the door under the moon, your footsteps are as delicate as your heart.

In a hurry, the thousand-year-old stele is easy to rub,

But it's hard to rub your beauty,

A true trace, who can give their heart to?"

The singing was ethereal, as if it had descended from the nine heavens, echoing continuously in the studio.

The song was beautiful, the lyrics were beautiful, as if beautiful scrolls were unfolding before everyone's eyes, giving a very strong sense of imagery.

A rich ancient style flavor rushed toward them.

And in this ancient style, it seemed to be telling a poignant story.

Immediately, the audience at the venue had goosebumps all over.

Some even showed shock.

This... was actually a national style song!

National style songs had long appeared in China, but it wasn't until Xu Mingyue emerged in the music scene that they were carried forward and became a major musical genre.

Among them, their songs like "Red Actor" and "Blue and White Porcelain" had already become the pinnacle of national style songs.

And now, "Orchid Pavilion Preface" sung by the Ruthless Empress had reached the same level, and the lyrics were also a masterpiece.

The Avenger's face suddenly changed.

He didn't expect the Ruthless Empress to bring out such a song.

On stage, the song continued, the Ruthless Empress sang with the microphone, and the sense of imagery remained very strong.

"The shepherd's flute blows horizontally, a few dishes of yellow wine and side dishes,

The sunset glow is like your shyness, like being drunk.

The copy is easy to write, but the ink fragrance doesn't fade, leaving a lingering taste with you,

Who did the line of cinnabar circle in the end?"

Master Composer Shen Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Even as a Master Composer, he was emotionally stirred at this moment, with goosebumps all over.

He heard the flavor of "Blue and White Porcelain" from last year.

Moreover, he also heard that the melody of this song was getting higher and higher.

At the same time.

At this moment.

In front of the live stream, the bullet comments changed drastically.

Countless netizens realized the seriousness of the matter.

"This song..."

"Something's wrong..."

"Zhou Ru's singing doesn't taste like this."

"More than just wrong, it's very wrong."

"I doubt she's really Zhou Ru."

"The singing voice is so familiar."

"No, it's very familiar."

"……"

In front of the screen, countless viewers were shocked.

At the venue, the audience was the same.

But just then.

The chorus arrived.

"Regardless of wind and moon, I write the preface waiting for your return,

The brush is absolute, the waves on the shore are stacked a thousand times,

How to solve the word 'love', how can the writing be wrong,

And I am only missing your understanding of a lifetime."

Shen Xiao originally thought that according to the twins' composition style, they would use opera singing to push the whole song up here, but he didn't expect them to use a normal singing method.

?

The thought had just arisen, but his ears suddenly exploded.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
