Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016

"Brother Changlin is really incredible," Luo Tianyi said with a laugh, her eyebrows askew.

"This time I can’t just go with the flow. It seems Luo Tianyi has a good eye; no wonder she was the champion of ’The Voice’ last season." Zhao Yixuan, who had given a low score yesterday and was subsequently warned by the higher-ups at Dragon TV, was becoming cautious.

Last night, she had found out that Li Changlin was actually Ye Xiyao’s boyfriend—a big shot that even TV station executives had to give face to. Moreover, she was a fan of Ye Xiyao, although not exactly a diehard one, but Zhao Yixuan really enjoyed watching TV dramas or movies starring Ye Xiyao, a Heavenly Queen, truly not just a figure of speech.

"It seems Li Changlin indeed has some principles, no wonder Ruonan likes him so much! But no matter how talented you are, I won’t give you a chance this time!" Lin Qiao’en was the only one who still had a bias against Li Changlin, unaware that her good friend Liu Jielun was also wavering and was no longer on the same page as her.

Lin Qiao’en’s prejudice against Li Changlin was naturally not without reason. Li Changlin’s presence significantly damaged the Lin Family’s interests.

If the Lin Family could ally with the Zhou Family, they could then become a force surpassing the second-tier families and close to becoming a first-tier family.

In the future, when Different World was about to open and the Messenger was to descend upon the world, they could prove themselves.

If the Lin Family and the Zhou Family could successfully complete the tasks set by the Messenger, the two families might leap to become true first-tier families.

At that point, the Capital City Eight Great Aristocratic Families would probably become ten.

This was a matter related to the prosperity of the Family for a century, and Lin Qiao’en naturally found it hard to tolerate the upheaval caused by such an insignificant person.

Although she liked her niece very much and had originally married for love in defiance of her family’s arrangements, Lin Qiao’en’s choice ultimately still brought great benefits to the Lin Family. Her husband had become a major leader in the military!

Thinking about how Li Changlin was just a small-time broadcaster, Lin Qiao’en found him more and more disagreeable, and her aversion toward him naturally intensified.

Li Changlin, of course, knew nothing of Lin Qiao’en’s thoughts and was still passionately singing.

After taking the "Vacuum Pear," Li Changlin’s voice had reached a level difficult for ordinary people to match. He was named Divine Melody Envoy by Sky Horse Records because he now possessed a voice as unique as the heavenly melody.

Thus, his rendition of "Lotus in the Snow" was incredibly moving, mesmerizing many listeners and even both hosts.

When the song ended, there was initially silence, then the audience erupted in applause, many stood up, applauding enthusiastically.

"It’s beautiful, really too beautiful!"

"It’s like a heavenly voice, comparable even to the Divine Melody Envoy."

"The song written by Li Changlin is fantastic; I really love it!"

"Good job, Li Changlin."

"Li Changlin, I love you!"

The audience was generous, and even the four judges stood up and clapped.

Music knows no borders, and although the four judges were technically rivals, Li Changlin’s exceptional performance was undeniable. Hence, to show their magnanimity, figures like Zhang Zhiqian naturally couldn’t be petty.

On the judges’ panel, Luo Tianyi, Liu Jielun, Luo Weiting, and Zhao Yixuan also stood up to applaud, giving high praise.

Only Lin Qiao’en did not move; her brows even slightly furrowed as she glanced at her good friend Liu Jielun, seemingly unfazed.

"Sister Lin, I really have nothing to say this time; Li Changlin sang that song really well." Sensing something in Lin Qiao’en’s gaze, Liu Jielun gave a sheepish smile and suddenly leaned in to whisper in Lin Qiao’en’s ear.

Lin Qiao’en was momentarily startled, then suddenly realized the implications.

This was not a good sign. If she continued to be stubborn in such a situation, it might ruin her destiny.

Hence, Lin Qiao’en quickly adjusted her attitude, smiling as she stood up and gently began to clap.

Although she was extremely reluctant, at this moment Lin Qiao’en no longer dared to harbor thoughts of confronting Li Changlin.

She was no fool, otherwise she wouldn’t have reached her current position.

No matter how much she hated in her heart, Li Changlin was just a minor character. Although Ruonan liked him very much, as long as the family opposed it, Li Changlin would never stand a chance.

And besides, Li Changlin already had Ye Xiyao; the daughter of the Lin Family could not possibly share a husband with another woman!

"Thank you, thank you everyone, thanks to my friends for the encouragement!" On stage, Li Changlin bowed in gratitude, and quickly the stage lights brightened one by one, and the hosts approached with a smile.

"Thanks to the cross-dressing star Li Changlin for bringing us this wonderful performance. Thank you, and once again a big thank you to Li Changlin," Lu Piaopiao said, laughing as she interacted with Li Changlin, mainly asking about his songwriting and practice routines, and also lightly touching on his career as a broadcaster.

By now, many in the audience knew Li Changlin was an online broadcaster, quite famous on a certain platform.

However, since Endless livestreaming hadn’t sponsored Xuanyuan’s ’The Voice’ or Dragon TV, Lu Piaopiao naturally didn’t mention the name Endless on stage.

Li Changlin was also quite clever, playing dumb since the host didn’t bring it up.

After all, he was about to leave Endless soon, and promoting Endless at this point wouldn’t help boost his popularity. It might be better to wait until he moved on to Heaven and Earth for further actions.

Afterwards, Li Changlin waved goodbye and exited the stage, while the host Wang Han announced, "The next contestant is a beautiful girl, please welcome Gao Sichun from Capital City. Let’s greet her with warm applause!"

This was a real girl, unlike Li Changlin’s cross-dressing act; she was genuinely the part.

At this moment, Li Changlin had already left the scene. He entered Xie Yixin’s team’s rest room but could still hear Wang Han’s announcement.

"Gao Sichun!" Li Changlin certainly remembered this woman—Yang Fei’s ex-girlfriend, the mistress kept by Sun Ji’an!

Li Changlin knew that Sun Ji’an was the eldest son of the Sun Family, a second-tier aristocratic family, and his status meant marrying Gao Sichun was out of the question.
