Xia Yu was trembling in anger.

Having been so highly regarded all this while, how could she be so underestimated? How she wished she could rip Sister Mai Na's mouth apart, but considering her image in her fans' hearts, she had no better choice than to swallow her indignance. She put a hand to her chest, taking a small step back as if she was hurt and in shock, distress was written all over her pale face.

"Sister Mai Na," She looked like she was about to cry. "you're Ye Xingling's manager and I know you'd side her, but how could you say this of me before I've even begun to sing?"

"Exactly." The emcee was defending Xia Yu, giving her more backing. "I've heard that Xiao Yu often practices her singing alone late into the night, is her diligence not worthy of respect at all in Sister Mai Na's and Miss Ye's eyes?"

The way she addressed "Xiao Yu" and "Miss Ye" made it clear whose side she was on.

Xia Yu's brainless fans started making noise again, jeering at Xia Ling and criticizing her.

Sister Mai Na revealed a sly smile. "What a coincidence, our Xiao Ling hasn't been well these days and hasn't got the chance to practice her singing much." She slowly said, "I'm excited to see, with Xia Yu's 100% effort against our Xiao Ling's 50% of hard work, what kind of results would we get?"

This statement was truly well-crafted and devious — if Xia Yu won, it would be because of her extra effort recently in comparison to Xia Ling; but if Xia Yu lost, it would be a joke, how could her 100% effort not match up to someone's 50%!

"Well said, Sister Mai Na!"

"Good one!"

Xia Ling's fans of this lifetime were getting excited. "Go, Sister Mai Na! Go, Ye Xingling!"

Hearing cheers for her opponent, Xia Yu took great pains to mask her expression. The emcee quickly stepped forward to interrupt the audience. "Alright, alright, it's time to draw lots and decide whether Xiao Yu or Miss Ye will sing first."

Bright lights came on and landed on the massive screen in front.

The way the graphics swirled on the screen made the audience feel like they were about to be sucked in.

The emcee walked to the side and pressed a control button. The swirls got more intense before coming together to reveal an arrow, pointed towards the left of the stage.

It was Xia Ling's side.

"The first up on stage is Miss Ye." The emcee smiled. The randomizer was manipulated and no matter how she operated it, the first to sing would always be "Ye Xingling". Now that the right person had been chosen, the emcee had accomplished her task and was due to collect her handsome reward from Imperial Entertainment when the event was over.

Xia Yu was delighted too. Bitch, you're doomed! You're already mute, I'll see how you manage it!

That was the only reason Xia Yu dared to challenge Xia Ling. She knew that there was no way she could beat that bitch in terms of singing or stage presence, but as long as that bitch went first and revealed that her voice was completely damaged, there'd be no way she could lose even if she was not as good.

Xia Yu was already sure of her victory, but she managed a hypocritical smile. "All the best, Ye Xingling."
