Three Kingdoms: Start by marrying Cai Yan, then vie for supremacy.

A training room.

"Alright, alright! Everyone, stop for a second!"

The noisy training room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

Their agent is walking towards them.

"Great! Everyone's training is going very well!" the manager said with a beaming smile. "Now I have some good news to share!"

"What good news?"

"I don't know."

"Wow, good news! I can't wait!"

......

The girl group members whispered among themselves.

The agent gave them a moment to discuss, then raised his voice and announced, "Shanghai TV has confirmed that you will be participating in this gala and will be singing 'Landscape Painting' with Linghua from Phoenix Myth!"

"However, this isn't the biggest news yet!"

"The second piece of news is that you've topped the trending topics list!"

Wow!

The moment the words left her lips, the entire girl group erupted in cheers!

All the members were so excited that they had tears in their eyes.

"marvelous!"

"It actually made it to the top of the trending searches! I can't believe it!"

This is the first time I've ever trended on social media!

"I hope to appear frequently at the top of the trending searches in the future!"

......

The agent clapped his hands: "Do you know why we made it to the top of the trending searches?"

"I don't know." The members all shook their heads.

The agent explained loudly, "It's precisely because you've become associated with Phoenix Myth that this connection is the key to trending on social media."

.......

"Therefore, I require that during your performance at this gala, you must completely overshadow Suzuka during the chorus!"

"That's how you maintain your popularity and truly become a star!"

......

Clearly, the agent is instigating these popular celebrities to ride the coattails of a trending topic, and specifically, to forcibly capitalize on the popularity of Phoenix Myth!

This practice is absolutely outrageous!

But in their pursuit of popularity, these people don't care about saving face at all!

So, this group of popular celebrities, with the idea of ​​suppressing Suzuka at the gala, began to train desperately.

The sudden surge to the top of the trending topics list gave them boundless motivation!

They desperately want to be trending again!

But how could they possibly do that on their own?

"Sisters, keep training hard, surpass Suzuka, tease Mo, and hold onto the trending topics!"

The team leader shouted loudly!

This slogan immediately resonated with all members!

at the same time.

Deng Ziqi dialed Mo's number directly.

"Mo, are you alright?" Deng Ziqi's first words were concerned about Mo's health, followed by, "Yang Mi, did you see the trending topics? The artists we've been training are really amazing these days!"

The third sentence is:

"Linghua, don't let the myth of the phoenix be disgraced!"

……

Shanghai People's Hospital.

Orthopedic ward.

After listening to Deng Ziqi's words, Mo and his group exchanged glances.

They did not expect the news to spread so quickly that even Deng Ziqi, who was far away in the south, knew about it.

Great!

You're really well-informed!

"Ahem, when did I ever embarrass the group?"

Linghua cleared her throat, clearly bewildered by the sudden phone call.

Deng Ziqi's hearty laughter came through the receiver: "I meant, don't let anything go wrong with the gala performance!"

Linghua immediately retorted, "Don't worry, if I lose to those popular celebrities, I'd be letting my master down!"

Yang Mi and Dilraba exchanged a smile. It seems that in Linghua's heart, her master Mo is still the most important person.

Dilraba is relatively inexperienced, but Yang Mi has been working in the entertainment industry for nearly ten years and knows Linghua's growth process well.

That ordinary working girl back then gradually transformed under Mo's guidance.

When Phoenix Myth was first established, no one was optimistic about it. It was not until the song "Lotus Pond in the Moonlight" came out that it truly became popular.

This bond between teacher and student is unbreakable!

Deng Ziqi suddenly asked mysteriously, "Guess where I am?"

"Not in **?"

"Of course!" Deng Ziqi raised her voice, "I'm watching the rehearsal on Shanghai TV! And you, the final guest, aren't even here for rehearsal?!"

"You're in Shanghai?" Suzuka asked in surprise. "What are you doing at the TV station?"

"Please!" Deng Ziqi exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. "I'm a singer! I have a performance tonight too. Right now, all you care about is your mentor."

"My master is sick; I don't have time to think about anything else."

"Mo," Deng Ziqi turned to the hospital bed, "it's amazing that someone your age could fall and get injured."

He chuckled and retorted, "You heartless bastard, I wrote you a new song for nothing."

The moment those words left my mouth!

Silence fell instantly on both ends of the phone.

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Mo was a little puzzled. Why did these people suddenly stop talking?

Deng Ziqi broke the silence first: "Oh, Mo, I was just kidding! Don't take it seriously!"

"I absolutely love your new song! I'm sure I'll blow everyone away when the second episode of 'I Am a Singer' airs!"

"Stop being so cocky!" Mo poured cold water on the idea without hesitation: "Everyone in the competition is a powerhouse. If you don't practice properly, even the best song won't get you a good ranking."

Deng Ziqi sighed, "You bet! You guys are already tough enough, and now a mystery singer has to take Hua Chenyu's place. This is too much for me!"

Linghua immediately retorted, "You're the one who's difficult to deal with!" Turning to Mo, she asked, "Master, when did you write a song for Ziqi?"

Yang Mi and Dilraba both looked at Mo.

Mo casually replied, "That night, after we finished drinking, I went to her room to write it."

"Mo!" Deng Ziqi suddenly raised her voice, startling Mo.

"What's wrong? Why are you so jumpy?" Mo rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"You went to Ziqi's room?"

"Did you go after drinking?"

"You only wrote one song?"

"Didn't you do anything else?"

The three girls asked a series of questions.

Mo said calmly, "I just write songs, what else? Sleep with her?"

Everyone was stunned by these words.

How could Master say that...?

Dilireba, Yang Mi, and Linghua each have their own thoughts.

Deng Ziqi on the other end of the phone was also stunned. Mo was too daring to say that.

In their view, such things should be kept secret, and even if discovered, they should be denied outright.

But is Mo really stupid?

of course not!

He was testing the waters, wanting to see how the girls would react. He understood Linghua's intentions, but he needed to confirm the attitudes of Dilireba, Yang Mi, and Deng Ziqi.

As the saying goes, once people are well-fed and clothed, they think about...

It's natural for men to like beautiful women, but the real skill is being able to win over all the women they like!

This move by Mo was clearly a test!

After the trial ended.

Mo has roughly figured out what the girls are thinking, which will greatly benefit his future happiness!

"Have you heard? That popular girl group is plotting how to suppress Suzuka!" Deng Ziqi suddenly changed the subject.

Although everyone saw through Deng Ziqi's intentions, the topics she brought up were so attractive that people couldn't help but want to listen more.

Mo was the first to speak: "Tell me in detail."

Linghua also seemed quite interested: "I'd like to hear what they have to say about me."

Yang Mi had a gloating expression on her face: "Are you going to make fun of Mo and Linghua again?"

Dilraba was just there for the fun of it: "Tell us already!"

Deng Ziqi smiled mysteriously: "I heard them say they're planning to outshine you with their singing at the party, and also mock Mo, climbing up the Phoenix Myth!"

"But these girls are quite confident; their skills aren't that great, but their ambitions are."

"That's why I specifically reminded you earlier not to embarrass yourself at the party, and not to underestimate your opponents."

Linghua gritted her teeth in anger: "Ziqi, don't worry, these little brats need to be taught a lesson!"

"Oh dear, they're calling me, I have to go now!" Deng Ziqi hurriedly hung up the phone.

……

Inside the Shanghai TV station building.

As Deng Ziqi entered the training room, the group of popular female celebrities immediately surrounded her. Unaware of the close relationship between Deng Ziqi and Mo, they began to criticize Phoenix Myth in front of her.

Deng Ziqi was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"stop!"

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Deng Ziqi helplessly raised her hand in a gesture of apology.

Once everyone quieted down, she continued, "I've watched you all grow from ordinary people into female celebrities, and now you've even formed a girl group."

"To be honest, I'm proud of you all, but there's something I must remind you—never underestimate anyone in the entertainment industry!"

"Including Mo and Suzuka, whom you're all complaining about!"

"They've been famous for a long time, and their skills are far beyond what you can compare to. So I suggest you just stay as backup dancers and don't participate in singing."

……

Deng Ziqi's suggestion instantly caused an uproar among these popular female celebrities.

Why?

"On what grounds?"

"What's there to be afraid of, Mo and Linghua?"

"We're singers! What will people think of us if we just dance at the gala?"

"Ziqi, are you kidding us?"

"We're not going to back down!"

"This time, we must surpass Phoenix Myth!"

……

Looking at this group of arrogant and conceited female celebrities, Deng Ziqi could only shake her head helplessly.

Young people these days are so arrogant and ignorant!

Deng Ziqi felt both annoyed and amused.

"Alright, alright," Deng Ziqi waved her hand. "Since you insist on competing with Phoenix Myth, I won't say any more. Good luck."

After saying that, Deng Ziqi turned and left alone.

After she left, the group of female celebrities immediately started gossiping among themselves.

"Deng Ziqi is here to dampen our spirits, isn't she!"

"I thought she'd be on our side!"

"Yang Mi has already joined forces with Mo. She originally wanted to win over Deng Ziqi, but it seems that's out of the question."

"What a pity, Deng Ziqi is quite popular."

"It's okay, the most important thing now is the grand finale performance of the evening. As long as that performance is outstanding, we'll soar to new heights!"

"I can't wait!"

……

Two hours later.

A video suddenly went viral online.

It was simultaneously pushed out on major platforms such as Douyin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and Tianya, and quickly rose to the top of the trending search list.

This short two-minute video records Deng Ziqi persuading the girl group to switch to dancing.

Why did Deng Ziqi suggest that girl groups focus on dance?

[The Relationship Between Deng Ziqi and Mo Revealed]

Can a girl group shoulder the responsibility of being the final act?

[Silently, despite her injury, tops the trending searches!]

Netizens were instantly in an uproar.

That was amazing!

That's amazing!

"Deng Ziqi's suggestion is very pertinent; I think it's good."

"Don't be ridiculous! Can Suzuka really hold her own against the entire girl group?"

"She used to sing with Moku, but now she has to compete against so many people. Suzuka's voice will definitely be drowned out!"

"Hahaha, this will be a permanent stain on the Phoenix Myth!"

"Nonsense! Phoenix Myth is afraid of girl groups? Linghua would lose to those popular singers?"

"Why not just ask Deng Ziqi for her opinion!"

"That's right, quickly @DengZiqi to respond!"

......

Netizens left messages asking Deng Ziqi for her opinion.

She quickly responded: "I'm sorry this has attracted so much attention; it was my oversight."

"I hope the person who filmed this will stop."

"Regarding the comparison between Suzuka and girl groups, I believe girl groups are no match for Suzuka. To insist on a contest would be like throwing an egg against a rock."

The above views represent only my personal professional judgment; please forgive any inaccuracies.

......

This statement immediately sparked heated discussions online.

"Always support Ziqi!"

"Ziqi is absolutely right. She was clearly thinking of the girl group, but they leaked the video."

How can you be sure it was a girl group that leaked it?

"Isn't this obvious?"
