Chapter 499: Chapter 499: 475: Blue and Thin (Added for Alliance Hierarch Daoist Monk)_1

Zhao Ying Ge was having a total breakdown…

Her manager was driving, and she sat in the backseat, her face reflecting utter disinterest with life.

“Snap out of it.”

The manager stopped at a red light, unable to hold back her words.

Zhao Ying Ge sounded drained and weak, like all her energy had been sucked out of her:

“Teacher Admirable Fish said that I can only hit high notes and have outbreaks…”

“My fans even slandered him…”

“He never thought I was outstanding in the first place…”

“Now my fans are even more fiercely attacking him…”

“…”

The manager was having a headache.

Zhao Ying Ge had been repeating these few sentences all the way.

She finally said, exasperated, “We’re only guessing that Prince of Lanling is Admirable Fish or not. Does Lil Goodoong’s presence here necessarily mean that Prince of Lanling is Admirable Fish?”

“The odds are high…”

“Okay, let’s just assume he’s Admirable Fish, then. Don’t you think this could be your chance?”

“It was supposed to be.”

“It still is! Didn’t you say that at the beginning, the male and female leads would have some misunderstandings, causing the male lead to dislike the female lead. But later on …”

“I didn’t bring up the misunderstandings part.”

“Who hasn’t read romance novels… anyway, think about it, aren’t you starting to act like a female lead?”

“Sort of?”

Zhao Ying Ge’s spirit seemed to be slowly coming back.

The manager took adavantage of the momentum, “Now the opportunity is right in front of you. Everyone is in the dark, only you know. You don’t need me to remind you what to do, right?”

“I do!”

Zhao Ying Ge pointed at her head, “This thing isn’t listening to my command.”

“…”

The manager let out a sigh, and stepped on the gas as the traffic light turned green:

“First of all, you need to pretend like you don’t know anything. At least before Admirable Fish reveals his identity, you can’t give it away. Then, subtly be nice to him. Subtly, you get it?”

“Somewhat.”

“Then you should tell your fans to be more rational, not to keep harping on Prince of Lanling. I’ll handle the fan union.”

“I know this!”

“The last and most critical point, Admirable Fish values a singers’ strengths. Just sing and perform well, whether he is Admriable Fish or not, let’s not risk offending him.”

“Is that it?”

“What else?”

“What’s the difference than not knowing anything?”

“The difference is… you won’t be like Yuan Xi and the others, harboring resentment towards Prince of Lanling, or even provoking him.”

“Oh!”

Zhao Ying Ge suddenly understood.

If she didn’t know the real identity of Prince of Lanling, she might actually offend him, given her temper.

If by some unfortunate circumstance she ended up offending him, and the guess turned out to be correct, it would truly be a tragedy.

The manager laughed, “With Prince of Lanling’s sharp tongue, who knows how many people he will offend before unmasking himself. You keep calm and carry on. By the time he unmasks himself, it will be your chance to turn the tables.”

Turn the tables?

Zhao Ying Ge’s face suddenly blushed.

The manager saw this in the rearview mirror, a vein popping on her forehead.

Why the hell are you blushing out of nowhere, where is your mind wandering off to?

“I didn’t mean it that way!”

“But you are driving right now…”

“One more word, and you’re out of the car!”

“Alrighty!”

The conversation couldn’t continue, but fortunately, both of them reached a consensus: they absolutely couldn’t let this speculation leak out.

…

Of course, Lin Yuan had no idea he was under suspicion.

After recording the third episode of the show, he asked Lil Goodoong to take him to the movie set.

He was still shooting a film over here.

Upon arriving at the scene, he greeted everyone and then sat down to watch the filming.

Jian Yi was hanging from a Wire in front of a green screen at that moment.

That height was making Lin Yuan somewhat nervous.

“Phew.”

The wire stunt finished, Jian Yi sat down next to Lin Yuan, gulping down half a bottle of water:

“Scared me to death.”

“Weren’t you afraid of heights before?”

“I still am, but I’ve gotten used to it after flying around on the wire so much,” Jian Yi said, smiling.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Actors often had to challenge themselves for the sake of filming.

“Did you hurt your hand?”

Only then did Lin Yuan notice the multiple injuries on Jian Yi’s hand.

“I’m fine.”

Jian Yi was unconcerned.

Lin Yuan wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back his words.

Jian Yi just laughed it off.

An actor’s life is like this, getting injured during filming is inevitable, especially when Jian Yi is under a lot of pressure now.

He’s a newcomer who was parachuted into being the lead male role in a drama, with all the supporting male and female leads being big-name stars.

Under such circumstances, if Jian Yi doesn’t work hard, he would face criticism.

This has nothing to do with whether or not Jian Yi can imitate Teacher Admirable Fish.

Even though nobody dares to criticize Jian Yi openly, who knows what they’re saying behind his back? Therefore, Jian Yi needs to be audacious, daring to fight and struggle, and not let his own issues affect his friends.

“By the way, have you seen the group message today?”

Jian Yi didn’t want Lin Yuan discussing his filming, he didn’t plan on complaining to his friend.

If other newcomers had the opportunity to play the leading male role, no matter how hard it was, someone would willingly take on the hardship.

Lin Yuan shook his head: “Not yet.”

“Let me tell you then, Xia Fan is planning to join The Masked Singer, but she might not record till later.”

“What image?”

“I asked her but she wouldn’t say, why don’t you ask?”

“No need to.”

If she didn’t say anything, it means she doesn’t want to discuss it, just like himself, they’ll chat about it when the time of unmasking comes.

But…

This at least excludes the possibility that Xia Fan is the replacement singer for the fourth episode.

It seems like it should be someone from another team.

Could it be possible that he will meet Xia Fan in the coming competition?

Lin Yuan pondered over this.

He wouldn’t hold back just because his opponent is Xia Fan.

He often played games with Xia Fan and Jian Yi since they were kids.

As long as they could win, the three of them would always give it their all.

Unless under extraordinary circumstances, generally, the competition came first, friendship second.

After a while.

Jian Yi went back to filming.

Because they were filming a commercial film, the process was quite simple. Therefore, Lin Yuan didn’t have to worry about anything and simply took out his phone to play.

Hmm?

Lin Yuan stumbled upon a celebrity trend.

Zhao Ying Ge: “Watched ‘The Masked Singer,’ heard Teacher Prince of Lanling’s evaluation of me. As a singer, we should accept public values bravely, keep going (Fist) (Cheer)!”

Lin Yuan chuckled.

He spoke straightforwardly on the show, hoping that the singers could recognize their shortcomings and improve.

Looking at it now, it seems like his words were worthwhile.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Eventually, someone would listen.

Zhao Ying Ge’s attitude towards music is pretty good.

At this time.

A lot of comments also appeared before Lin Yuan’s eyes—

“Prince of Lanling, please be kind, look at how generous our Ying Ge is!”

“Ying Ge doesn’t care about your evaluation because she is tolerant, please also learn to be tolerant of others.”

“Prince of Lanling’s abilities are far inferior to our Ying Ge.”

“Our Ying Ge is indeed magnanimous, Prince of Lanling doesn’t have the vision, hehe, are we sure Ying Ge is not Pufferfish?”

“Prince of Lanling, if you dare, don’t unmask yourself. Let’s see how the fans will tear you apart after you unmask.”

“…”

Lin Yuan scratched his head.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ying Ge was sitting in front of her computer, seeing these comments, she vigorously rubbed her lush hair—

“You guys want me dead!”

She immediately put on her alias and argued with her fans in the name of love and justice. She never thought she would communicate with her fans in this manner before.

“Don’t talk about Prince of Lanling like that.”

“Prince of Lanling only expressed his own opinion.”

“Prince of Lanling is really talented!”

“Maybe, Prince of Lanling knows Zhao Ying Ge.”

“Prince of Lanling said this for Zhao Ying Ge’s sake.”

“Zhao Ying Ge has already said she accepts criticism, which shows that she appreciates Prince of Lanling’s words.”

“…”

One of Zhao Ying Ge’s junior fans couldn’t help but retort Zhao Ying Ge:

“From all your posts, it’s clear that you are a fan of Prince Lanling, what do you know about Zhao Ying Ge? Do you understand Ying Ge as much as we do? She is simply beautiful and kind-hearted—she just doesn’t want this Prince Lanling to feel embarrassed!”

Do I not understand Zhao Ying Ge?

Zhao Ying Ge felt tortured.

This was the most bitter compliment she had ever heard in her life.
