Chapter 924: Chapter 925 Since it’s already been given up, why continue to strive for it?

Once the Lin Family and the Zhou Family completed the task given by the Otherworld Envoy, they were bound to create a sensation, shooting up to great heights.

However, it was this very youngster who had completely ruined the path to rise for both the Lin and Zhou Families.

To speak frankly, Lin Qiao’en was definitely angry inside.

But Lin Ruonan was, after all, her most beloved niece, and no matter how selfish Lin Qiao’en might be, she could not force two entirely incompatible fruits together.

After all, hadn’t Lin Qiao’en herself defied her own family’s arrangements and married her current husband?

If today she were to disregard principles and ignore Lin Ruonan’s opinions, then what would her most beloved niece think in her heart?

It was all a grievous error! Inside, Lin Qiao’en was extremely frustrated.

Therefore, when the host invited the judges to speak, she naturally wanted to take the opportunity to utterly disparage Li Changlin.

Although Lin Qiao’en knew that Li Changlin’s fate couldn’t possibly be decided by a single judge like herself, what if!

If, by chance, Li Changlin was indeed eliminated, it would mean the end of all his prospects.

Perhaps, Ruonan might have a change of heart then!

After all, Lin Qiao’en did harbor some private thoughts.

Though she cared about her own feelings, Lin Ruonan wasn’t her own self after all.

Such a person was indeed somewhat conflicted.

Li Changlin, standing on stage, was admittedly troubled, but there was nothing he could do. That was Ruonan’s aunt, and he surely couldn’t just start arguing with her!

"Lin Sister, I must say I disagree with your views. As for whether Brother Zhang and Brother Zhou should compete with the contestants, I think we should ask the contestants themselves. If a contestant has the intention to join a certain mentor’s team, then it should be their own decision. As judges, our role is to evaluate the quality of the music, not to suppress creative musicians." Sitting in the fifth seat of the judging panel, Luo Tianyi suddenly picked up the microphone and spoke up.

Her words were very direct, clearly questioning Lin Qiao’en’s intentions.

Hearing this, Lin Qiao’en’s face turned pale.

Inside, she was naturally very angry, and Lin Qiao’en knew that Luo Tianyi had also been involved in rumors with Li Changlin, as they played an interactive game during a concert at the Hua City Xuyang Opera House, where the two unexpectedly shared an intimate kiss on stage.

This incident had been reported by numerous media outlets and indeed had helped to increase Luo Tianyi’s popularity significantly.

However, Lin Qiao’en could not use this reason to criticize Luo Tianyi; firstly, the intimacy between the two had been caused by the sudden explosion of a balloon during the activity; secondly, although Luo Tianyi had been involved in various rumors with Li Changlin, no one had ever actually photographed them together.

It was the trip to Tianshan taken by Li Changlin and Ye Xiyao that was well known by many.

"Alright, I admit that my perspective was flawed." Knowing she couldn’t say much, Lin Qiao’en very bluntly admitted her mistake.

Li Changlin, standing on the stage, felt considerably more at ease after hearing this.

Then, the other three judges, nearly in agreement, stated that Luo Tianyi made sense. If Zhang Zhiqian and Zhou Yufan really wished to continue competing, it would only be logical to consult Li Changlin’s opinion. Upon hearing this, Wang Han and Lu Piaopiao naturally asked for Li Changlin’s thoughts.

Regarding this, Li Changlin was actually indifferent because he was clear in his heart that no matter which mentor’s team he chose to join, the other three mentors would definitely see him as an enemy.

There was no helping it, all four mentors wanted to win, and anyone not under their command was a rival.

Trampling down rivals ruthlessly was the only way for one’s team to truly become the winner. This was an unsolvable situation.

Given the circumstances, he might as well let it be. If offending others was inevitable, there was no point in pretending to be a good person here.

Moreover, Li Changlin did not at all like the character of Zhang Zhiqian and Zhou Yufan.

If you’re a man, you’d better stick to your promises.

Now, seeing his great potential, they started to go back on their word. The assistance they could offer him was just like that.

Therefore, Li Changlin chose to refuse.

Upon hearing Li Changlin’s rejection, both Zhang Zhiqian and Zhou Yufan’s complexions turned ugly. To them, it was a downright slap in the face.

However, compared to Zhang Zhiqian, Zhou Yufan was slightly better off.

After all, there was still a chance for his wife to court Li Changlin. If, in the end, Li Changlin joined Zhang Yifei’s team, he might help his wife win the championship. Zhou Yufan harbored quite the expectation in his heart.

With Zhang Zhiqian and Zhou Yufan out of the running, the only ones left to interact with Li Changlin were Xie Yixin and Zhang Yifei.

The two of them did have quite a bit to say, which naturally included inquiring about Li Changlin’s title.

Although everyone was well aware, some of the audience below might not know who Li Changlin was.

Sure enough, even though these audience members often followed entertainment news, the rumors about Li Changlin and Luo Tianyi, or those concerning Ye Xiyao, hadn’t spread too widely, so not many actually knew about them.

Of course, the ’not many’ mentioned here still numbered in the tens of millions.

As a newcomer, Luo Tianyi didn’t attract much attention, especially since her kiss with Li Changlin happened due to an unexpected incident. But with Ye Xiyao’s side, there were PR efforts from her studio.

Once the media blew up her scandal with Li Changlin, the studio promptly engaged in the relevant PR work.

As a result, the issue didn’t spread too far.

A scandal is called a scandal primarily due to its nature of speculation and baseless imagination.

Once a scandal loses the continuity of public attention, its profile sharply declines and, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people know about it, which, for Li Changlin, was actually a significant loss.

Otherwise, if he could leverage Ye Xiyao’s fame, the Popularity Points would definitely not have been scant, and it would have greatly facilitated the leveling up of the System.

However, these were things Li Changlin had never considered.

Though he desperately wanted to level up the System, if the result required leveraging his woman, then Li Changlin naturally had his reservations.

For now, these concerns could be disregarded. At this moment, Zhang Yifei and Xie Yixin offered a multitude of reasons and conditions. Both women wanted to persuade Li Changlin to join their team.

"Li Changlin, we are of similar age; peers have a common language. I believe that once you join our team, you will definitely be able to bring all your strengths into full play." Xie Yixin smiled at Li Changlin, but inside she was considering when to reveal her trump card to achieve the best effect.
