Chapter 976: Chapter 970: Wishing We Last Forever

Of course, such matters would definitely not be discussed with the streamers by the officials, and only someone at the level of the Wuji Corps leader could obtain high-level information.

Although Brother Livestream and Li Changlin still had a few minor issues that had not been settled, these were actually not a big deal. To recruit Li Changlin, Brother Livestream had called an internal expansion meeting, with many mid-to-senior-level leaders officially advocating strongly for Li Changlin’s transfer.

Not to mention Li Changlin’s fame on Endless, his talent alone was an invaluable resource for Brother Livestream.

Only a platform like Endless would focus on popularity, which, in fact, was the biggest difference from Brother Livestream.

"Start singing," said Lin Qiao’en, who was sitting in the first seat of the judges’ panel, after the applause and cheering slowly died down.

As for Li Changlin, although Lin Qiao’en couldn’t say he had any particular good or bad feeling about him, the fact that Li Changlin had become connected with his niece, Lin Ruonan, made it impossible for Lin Qiao’en not to take notice.

Today, seeing Li Changlin dressed as he was, Lin Qiao’en initially paused for a moment before his eyes quickly lit up.

"Okay," replied Li Changlin, who of course had to show respect to Ruonan’s aunt, and he quickly responded before turning towards the backstage, "Music."

Long before Li Changlin entered the competition, he had already submitted the score for the song he was going to perform. Now, following his command, a melody as beautiful as a mountain stream rang out from behind the stage.

In that instant, the entire venue fell silent.

Due to Li Changlin’s particularly dazzling attire today, many in the audience were filled with anticipation.

Last time during the group stage, Li Changlin sang "The Drunken Concubine," which garnered a lot of attention. They were hoping that Li Changlin could produce another new song, hopefully one as classic as "The Drunken Concubine."

"It’s the guzheng."

"The sound of the guzheng."

"He’s actually using the guzheng to perform, that’s really something!"

"This song sounds unfamiliar; could it be another original composition by the contestant?"

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the technique.

While the audience was still immersed in the wonderful singing, the four coaches and five judges had already discerned the instrument that was producing such beautiful music from behind the scenes.

Since the first season of Xuanyuan’s The Voice, there had hardly been any contestants using the guzheng as an accompaniment.

It wasn’t that the contestants didn’t want to, but rather, the songs they competed with were far from meeting the requirements for using the guzheng.

And today, for the first time in nine years since the start of Xuanyuan’s The Voice, these coaches and judges once again heard such wonderful accompaniment.

To be honest, everyone was quite touched.

However, among them, quite a few people began to frown slightly.

Li Changlin’s attire had already hinted that he would continue down his path of cross-dressing. It was already a highly difficult challenge for a man to perform a woman’s voice, but now Li Changlin wanted to sing a female voice in an ancient style. That was tough on top of tough. Could he really do it?

Whether he could do it was a question difficult to clarify, but plenty of people were not optimistic about it.

The marvelous music continued to play, and Li Changlin paid no mind to the gazes of others. He stood quietly on the stage, his hand slowly raising the microphone.

Finally, after the prelude passed, a beautiful female voice soared out.

When will the moon be clear and bright? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.

I don’t know what year it is in heaven. I’d like to ride the wind to fly home.

As the voice carried, everyone was stunned.

In that moment, the entire venue fell silent, and all eyes were on the figure on the stage, who was slowly starting to move.

Staring with wide eyes and open mouths, almost everyone involuntarily gasped in astonishment.

In the blink of an eye, many people’s bodies uncontrollably got goosebumps layer upon layer.

So beautiful!

So pleasant to the ears!

So freaking awesome!

Everyone’s heart screamed incessantly; if they could speak or make some gestures at this moment, the only thing they would want to do was stand up and shout and praise aloud!

However, the studio had its rules, especially when the contestants were performing on stage, everyone must be silent so as not to affect the performances.

So at this moment, the entire studio was completely silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Qiao’en was stunned, looking at Li Changlin with a complex expression, her mind spinning with thoughts she couldn’t quite grasp.

Luo Tianyi was also stunned, her face showing a complex look as well, and her eyes revealed an inexplicable struggle.

Mentor Xie Yixin was also stunned; her eyes and her expression unmasked her surprise and joy.

Honey Mantou’s Yang Fei, who was live-streaming at the time, was equally astonished.

At this moment, he couldn’t find the right words to praise this beautiful voice.

Similarly, Ye Xiyao and Bai Ziyu, seated among the audience, stared at each other, both rendered speechless.

Is this Li Changlin?

Is that person on stage truly Li Changlin?

Is this the familiar top-tier host from the Endless livestreaming platform, the Ancient Martial Artist they admire?

It’s just unbelievable!

A grown man, you say it’s one thing for him to cross-dress as a woman, but damn, why is his rendition of an ancient-style song so perfect?

Enchanting, truly enchanting!

The audience below the stage, along with the hundreds of thousands to nearly a million viewers in Honey Mantou’s Yang Fei’s livestream, were also completely silent.

Damn it, if they weren’t watching with their own eyes, they would have thought this person was definitely a woman.

So freaking cool, Brother Changlin is amazing!

At this time, Li Changlin ignored the peculiar silence of the studio and continued to dance gently, softly singing.

"I wish to ride the wind and return, yet I fear the high towers and jade palaces,"

"Cold at the heights, I dance to wield my shadow gracefully, what compares to life among mortals."

...

This voice sounded as if it was a beauty whispering secrets, like the soft confessions between lovers, or the conflicting emotions of an unparalleled celestial maiden facing the mortal world.

And yet, this was just the beginning, just a mere beginning.

When Li Changlin continued to sing, when he reached "Men have sorrow and joy, they part and come together; the moon dims or shines, waxes or wanes—all too hard to perfect. Wishing us long to live as one, sharing this moment, though we are a thousand miles apart," the entire studio finally erupted.

Applause, at this moment, the enthusiastic applause finally broke out like waves.
