Chapter 33.6

Everyone in the live broadcasting room was going to vomit blood until they died.

“Dai-ge, you can’t do this, let me tell you! You’re so restrained, how can you marry a wife?”

“Dai-ge, this is opening high and going low, ah! 1 Before, he spread warmth, but now he just froze people to death with an ‘en’!”

“Don’t rush to sing badly.” Tianliang Wang interrupted. “I bet ten packs of spicy strips that 004 notices that there’s something going on with Dai-ge’s eyes. Those two definitely have something between them! There’s a tacit agreement.”

“Hey, I saw Liu Yu. Yu-niangniang’s position in the palace is stable and unshakeable!” 2 Daiyu Daiyu yelled, “Daiyu, keep going for one hundred years!” 3

“That Daiyu upstairs, don’t speak nonsense. Liu Yu is a straight man at a single glance. Dai-ge didn’t take him to the solo instance the other day. Didn’t he play a game with Jingjing, who schemed against him?”

“Don’t mention Jingjing, what a disappointment!” The fans chorused.

As soon as Qin Yuandai turned around and walked away, Liu Yu leapt over to You Xi and started a conversation with him. After remembering the old days, he bluntly proposed adding You Xi as a friend and offered Qin Yuandai’s business card to You Xi. After that series of actions, the audience in the live broadcasting room laughed horribly.

“This is Sima Zhao’s heart, everyone knows it.” 4 Jiejie Hai Keyi Zai Huo Wubai Nian said, “Liu Yu must have been sent by 003. Hahahahaha, don’t accept denials!”

The comment area was harmonious. Even Xiao Niao Kan Zhuang Bi Zhe followed along with the fun, but Zi Chuo Shuang Mu went against the wind to comment: “What are you so happy about? Qin Yuandai is not worthy of You Xi at all!”

“Dai-ge isn’t worthy of 004, ma? Then who do you say is worthy?” Even in You Xi’s live broadcasting room, there were still fans of Qin Yuandai.

“Of course it’s Bai Yuan. Don’t you think that Bai Yuan and You Xi are a more natural couple?” Zi Chuo Shuang Mu waited over ten seconds before adding: “Bai Yuan is so beautiful, how come no one supports him?!”

“That CP is too cold.” Jiao Wo Xiao Ke’ai said, “And You Xi doesn’t like the saint at all. He has a better attitude toward passers-by than he does with the saint. The saint must have done something to make our family’s 004 unhappy.”

“Bai Yuan isn’t good for him, ma?!” Zi Chuo Shuang Mu said. “Bai Yuan was willing to give You Xi all of his belongings! Isn’t that better than Qin Yuandai’s gift of a broken talisman?

“Eh? What’s the problem?” Dadao 003 asked. “Zi Chuo Shuang Mu-xiong didn’t follow the Jade Gate Divine Tomb instance last time, so I didn’t see your comments at that time. In which forum did you hear other netizens talking about that? It’s all speculation, don’t believe it.”

“Yeah. As for what Bai Yuan said to You Xi, no one knows except for them. After entering the white jade gate, the live broadcasting room has a snowflake screen for a long time.” Jiao Wo Xiao Ke’ai added.

——

Bai Yuan the salted fish lay frozen in his crystal coffin and wiped the sweat off of his forehead. That was dangerous. He almost fell off his horse just now. He only cared about it for a while then forgot about it. 5

——-

Inside the game, it was the beginning of March, when the spring was cold.

The apprentices were selected from all over the world. Some were righteous and some were in good shape, but no matter what their past was, the first lesson they learned was to forget everything they had learned in the past.

The master who taught them was astonishingly strict. Fortunately, You Xi had undergone that hellish training beforehand. The intensity of this troupe’s training was acceptable, and he could handle it with ease.

Sheng, Dan, Jing, Zhou. 6 This year’s Qingyu Group had a selection of apprentices, 5 for each role. All of the singers looked like enchanting foxes, but when they were placed in front of You Xi, they were instantly comparable to mud on the ground.

In half a day, You Xi became the leader of the Dan roles. The other little brothers didn’t care what they actually thought. On the surface, they were close with You Xi.

Almost everyone thought that You Xi would be an instant hit. However, when he was practicing singing in the afternoon, You Xi was at the scene of the accident. 7

When the master heard You Xi sing like a pig, his face turned green.

“Your basic skills are quite solid. How can you sing so badly?” The master was frustrated. In addition to You Xi, there were three other people who had the same problem. Namely: Qin Yuandai, Liang Yi, and a person called Ding Bin.

Liu Yu sang unexpectedly well. Seeing the other people being trained, his eyebrows slanted and he smiled victoriously. After Qin Yuandai glances at him, he immediately put away his small tail and straightened out his attitude. 8

Ding Bin was obviously another player. He played a Zhou role. 9 He wasn’t tall, and had eyes like a thief. As soon as the master left, Ding Bin looked around and got close to the others.

“I know some of you.” Ding Bao said. “When I first saw you, I almost cried with joy. What kind of fairy luck is this! It’s a gathering of stars. Please, please, give me an autograph!”

Don’t reach out and hit smiling people, let alone teammates. 10 You Xi and the others all graciously signed their names, but when he arrived at Qin Yuandai, he didn’t even spare him a look. Ding Bin couldn’t maintain his face, and silently put away his pen and paper.

You Xi had a good voice, but he had never sang before, so there were many things to lear. After three days in the troupe, he didn’t do much and tried his best to lift his voice. 11

Liang Yi spoke depressedly: “You-ge, how are you doing with the investigation of the Qingyu Group in the performing arts industry?

“It’s still before July 15th. Let’s join the troupe first and talk about other things.” You Xi said. “It will be March 15th in a week. We should work hard. It’s best to participate in the ghost theatre performance of this month.”

“Is this a situation where the emperor is unhurried while his eunuchs are rushing?” 12 Liang Yi pulled some weeds from the side of the path and said helplessly, “Yesterday I thought of a way to sneak around the pear garden and drew a general layout of it, but I didn’t meet up with Gu Mian or Fu Qing, so I don’t know how they’re progressing in their investigation.”

The pear garden was divided into four courtyards: east, west, south, and north. The northern courtyard was the main courtyard used for welcoming guests and singing operas. The southern courtyard was used by famous people. The apprentice areas in the eastern and western courtyards were often empty. Some rooms were used as storage warehouses, and some rooms were elegantly furnished, although no one lived in them.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a roar from the master behind them, and the two who ran off were scolded severely.

“Everyone wants to fly up to the branches and become a phoenix, but they don’t bother to feel the pain!” After the master taught them with a vine whip, You Xi was caught off guard and grinned in pain. Liang Yi was also hit and suffered through several lashes. But in order to hide their identities as spies, both of them held back their fury and didn’t beat up the master.

But Qin Yuandai saw the scene next to him and was unhappy. Without a word, he walked straight up to the master.

Just when everyone thought that Qin Yuandai was going to show off his strength again, Qin Yuandai took our a dozen coins from his sleeves and openly bribed the master.

“Take it. Put away your whip.” Qin Yuandai flicked his wrist casually, and the coins rose and fell all throughout the sky, causing the master to stare blankly.

No longer caring about a teacher’s morality, the master tried to become the Guanyin of One Thousand Hands and hurriedly grabbed at the flying coins.

You Xi: “……”

With tens of thousands of coins up his sleeves, he taught the master to transform from a fierce demon into a smiling old man.

“You won’t make much progress while practicing like this.” The master said patiently. “Your biggest shortcoming is that you can’t put your emotions into your singing. You Xi, you’re a Dan role. Take Liang Zhu 13 as an example. When singing lyrics, you have to imagine yourself as a girl in love. When you see Liang Shanbo, you want your beautiful eyes to flow with tears. Can you will your eyes to tear up?”

You Xi shook his head. The master instructed him to raise his sleeves and hide his face. Although he was a shriveled old man, his eyes were moving, and he was extremely agile:

“I view the Nymphoides 14 and think about flowing water. A faithful gentleman should beseech a lady like a charming phoenix.”

“I hear the oriole’s song, I think of the piano and tender peaches.” 15

The master seemed to be possessed by a young girl, an indescribable ghost. He glanced at You Xi, and You xi couldn’t help but take a step back.

“Have you learned it?” The master returned to his normal appearance. “Try to play with Liang Shanbo. Just sing this passage.”

It was Qin Yuandai who had recently been learning Liang Shanbo’s lyrics. You Xi’s face flushed red. Letting him cry ‘ying ying’ in front of Qin Yuandai, it may have been better to let him be whipped.

This was too shameful!
