Chapter 504: Chapter 480: Prince of Lanling, a Terrifying Thought_1
“Prince of Lanling…”
Tongtong was looking at Lin Yuan in a trance.
“Hm?”
Lin Yuan was also looking at her.
Tongtong fell silent for about ten seconds, then sighed: “Nevermind.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
The rest of the performances were also good. Everyone sang the judges’ songs, making the judges quite moved. Liu Xu and Mao Xuewang even wiped their eyes. The atmosphere on the scene was very warm.
This was probably the least competitive round.
Today, there were no strained performances, all were heart-rendering.
But…
No audience found it boring.
After three consecutive high-flyer rounds, the gentle warmth of the fourth episode was like a healing session, reminding everyone of the classics, and the splendid days of the judges in the past.
Of course, they are still glorious now.

It’s just that their ages have caught up with them.
And the singers were performing their works from their youth.
Among them.
The sixth substitute singer to take the stage caught Lin Yuan’s attention.
This person, who called herself Mermaid, but in her voice, Lin Yuan heard a familiar tone—
Jiang Kui?
Lin Yuan was somewhat uncertain.
The likelihood of meeting acquaintances in this competition seemed not low.
Lin Yuan pondered.
After the performance, it was time for the rankings announcement.
Everyone walked backstage into the gathering hall.
“You sang well.”
Pufferfish looked at Mermaid.
Mermaid nodded: “You too.”
Huh?
Something seemed off with the atmosphere?
The other singers detected a faint taste of gunpowder.
“We should know each other?”
“The possibility is indeed quite significant.”
Mermaid and Pufferfish were still talking.
When everyone sat down, however, the two deliberately avoided each other, choosing sofas far apart.
“…”
Did they clash in terms of image, so they couldn’t stand each other?
It shouldn’t be that extreme.
The singers contemplated quietly.
At that moment, Tong Shuwen walked in and announced the results of today’s competition in his familiar, stuttering manner:
Swan first.
Prince of Lanling second.
Robot third.
Mermaid fourth.
Pufferfish fifth.
Rose was eliminated.
Perhaps because this round was not inherently competitive, Rose did not show much sorrow. She just smiled and said to the Prince of Lanling:
“Show me some mercy.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Yuan nodded. He hadn’t planned on saying much. Rose sang quite well, but she lacked distinctive features.
But this was not the singer’s fault.
Nevertheless, Lin Yuan offered a suggestion: “You’d be better suited to singing some movie and television theme songs.”
Mainly OSTs.
Rose was taken aback, then seemed to be in deep thought. Eventually, she nodded:
“Thank you.”
Rose went to unmask.
This time, it was a second-tier female singer named Yang Yang.
Interestingly, this second-tier female singer was known for her aptitude in singing movie and television theme songs!
Everyone’s eyes naturally turned to the Prince of Lanling.
In a sense, the advice he had just given was very accurate!
“I’m feeling the chill too.”
Yang Yang said with a smile. Seemingly, saying “Bracing the Chill” had become a tradition for the singers after unmasking.
“Congratulations to all of you!”
Tong Shuwen looked at the remaining five singers:
“After four rounds of fierce competition, you have formed the first team of ‘The Masked Singer’. You can all have a good rest for a while.”
The robot asked, “How many teams are left?”
Tong Shuwen laughed and said, “This is also to be announced to everyone. There are three more teams. That is to say, our show will select the members from four teams four months later, a total of twenty singers. At that time, we will adopt the form of team-to-team duel. For more specific details, please wait for the announcement from the program team.”
“Understood.”
When it came to the dueling stage, the speed of singer elimination would increase.
For now, the focus is still on performance, and there would be only one singer eliminated per episode unless anything unexpected happened.
Following the end of the competition.
Lin Yuan returned to the company by car. The next few months would be quite leisurely for him.
The competition was temporarily not his main concern.
…
There wasn’t much to summarize this time. After the competition concluded, Lin Yuan continued to write his novel.
Life was quite calm and peaceful.
But this tranquility didn’t last for many days.
On Sunday.
When the fourth episode aired, the internet exploded once again!
“Holy shit!”
“Prince of Lanling is picking a fight again!”
“This time he takes it directly to Fei Yang!”
“Hahahaha, I love Prince of Lanling’s mouth!”
“The expression on An Hong’s face on the side just cracked me up!”
“Singer King Fei Yang, Song Queen Yuan Xi, first-line male singer Mu Shi, first-line female singer Zhao Ying Ge, Prince of Lanling has pissed off four big-name singers in four episodes. What a lineup, all brought down at once!”
“There will be no Prince of Lanling in the next episode… I feel somewhat reluctant when I think about it.”
“I hope the next batch of singers can step it up!”
“I don’t know if the next batch of singers will step it up or not, but I do know that without the Prince of Lanling, there won’t be any explosive topics anymore.”
“…..”
Meanwhile, as expected!
Fans of Fei Yang were furious!
After the fan clubs of Yuan Xi, Zhao Ying Ge, and Mu Shi rebelled, the fans of Fei Yang also started to revolt!
“Wait until you reveal your face!”
“Do you dare to talk smack without the mask?”
“You dare to mess with the King of Singing!”
“Brothers, attack him!”
“For our singing king, Fei!”
“No one can bully the singing king Fei…except Xian Yu!”
“Charge, charge, charge, rush to the tower and kill him!”
“…..”
Well, there’s nowhere to go.
Because there’s no competition from the Prince of Lanling later.
As Prince of Lanling has not revealed his identity, even if Fei Yang’s fans want to fight, they can’t find a place to do so. They can only keep hitting the topics of Prince of Lanling hard on some forums and badmouth Prince of Lanling together with the fans of other singers who were criticized before.
There are signs of forming alliances?
But netizens seemed to have grown accustomed to these singers’ fans’ excitement and did not respond much. Instead, some netizens summarized the four episodes’ performance of Prince of Lanling:
“The strength of Prince of Lanling is a bit confusing now, as everyone hasn’t shown their true selves yet!”
“The judges have said that Prince of Lanling’s singing is improving every competition. Can this also be understood as him gradually revealing his real strength?”
“Setting aside the singing skill, I think the fact that Prince of Lanling loves to fire shots indirectly proves his strength.”
“Right, looking at the end of the fourth episode, it’s fascinating when Prince of Lanling was advising Yang Yang to sing more soundtracks for TV dramas in the future. As Yang Yang was unmasked, we all know that this advice is solid. Yang Yang is indeed very suitable for singing movie and TV soundtracks. But we came to this conclusion after Yang Yang’s unmasking, while Prince of Lanling understood the other’s strengths and weaknesses before their face reveal.”
“Terrifyingly insightful!”
“I’d like to talk about the first episode again. All the people at the competition venue, including us viewers before the television, believed that Robot was first-rate. However, only Prince of Lanling and Father Yang, upon hearing Robot’s only one performance, concluded that the other party was the Singing King. This proves how insightful Prince of Lanling is, as precise as Maestro!”
“Plus, Zhao Ying Ge said she was willing to accept criticism…”
“Looking back, everything Father Yang said is very similar to what Prince of Lanling said. But Prince of Lanling is not copying Maestro. Many times, he even spoke before Yang Zhongming.”
“Yes, Prince of Lanling is just outspoken, but everything he said, I believe, are facts!”
“There is a problem with how Fei Yang sings some songs, and not only Prince of Lanling has pointed it out. Some big names in the industry have hinted at it before as well. When Prince of Lanling pointed it out on the scene of the competition, Father Yang agreed with him, and Teacher Wu Long also nodded in agreement.”
“That being said, why do I feel like Prince of Lanling is kind of awesome?”
“At least in terms of commentary, he is indeed very professional!”
“Hey, what a pity Prince of Lanling won’t be in the next episode…”
“….”
Surprisingly enough.
No matter whether they liked Prince of Lanling, they didn’t like Prince of Lanling, or they were neutral audience members, after seeing the later competition plan of the program, they all felt a sense of discomfort.
Moreover, for the past month, they had been arguing about Prince of Lanling’s topics every day, and many people had grown used to it.
Knowing that they would not be seeing Prince of Lanling for a long time, many netizens even felt a strange sense of regret.
The first day without Prince of Lanling.
Missing him…
Meanwhile, in a certain company.
Fei Yang slowly took out his phone, raging:
“I don’t care, I want to participate in ‘The Masked Singer’. No matter how many people there are, I want to participate in the first season. The second season doesn’t have the Prince of Lanling, so it doesn’t make sense!”
