The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 208

After learning that Xia Wanyuan was participating in the World Music Competition, many international students and reporters in the O Continent rushed over.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk out with a cold expression, everyone took a photo and posted it back home.

[From his expression, I think the result is bad.]

[Isn't that perfectly normal? He only knew how to play some ancient zither songs. What are the fans talking about? Isn't his face being slapped right now? He can't even enter a music competition.]

[Since Xia Wanyuan can enter the semifinals, doesn't that mean she has the ability?]

[Who knows what method he used to enter? Haha, your country's music is very low. He could really get into the semi-finals. You guys don't actually feel weird.]

[SB in front keeps calling 'your country'. Then why do you still use our Chinese? A traitor cannot stand after kneeling for too long, right?]

Basically, no one expected Xia Wanyuan to qualify for the semi-finals, even if it was Xia Wanyuan fans who tore the anti-fans throat.

The country was in an uproar, but it did not affect Xia Wanyuan's mood at all.

The semi-final results will be announced the next day. Xia Wanyuan was about to return to the hotel when she received Jun Shiling's message.

"I'll be waiting for you at the back door of the theater."

Xia Wanyuan turned around and walked to the back door of the theater. As expected, Jun Shiling's car was parked by the side of the road.

"Are you here to pick me up?"

"No, I'm here to be a spectator." Jun Shiling smiled. 

“You play very well.”

Even though Jun Shiling was busy, he still tried his best to take the time to watch Xia Wanyuan's show.

Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed by Jun Shiling's praise. "Are you busy today?"

“I'll be busy in the afternoon. I'll take you to eat.” Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and instructed the driver

"Let's go."

The car drove Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan slowly through bustling Central Street, as if to keep Xia Wanyuan's curiosity in check. Every time they passed through the incredible scenery, the speed of the car would become extremely slow.

Through the car window, Xia Wanyuan saw a beautiful scene outside that was completely different from China. His eyes were filled with curiosity.

Jun Shiling watched calmly from the side and did not ask why someone who came to Continent O at least ten times would naturally show a new expression when he saw the scene of Continent O.

Slowly, the car arrived at the outskirts of the city and passed a tall tree. In front of him was a towering ancient castle. It looked old and serious. That must be old-fashioned.

Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan. The golden-haired, blue-eyed maid in uniform immediately stepped forward. 

“Young Master, Mistress.”

Entering the interior of the ancient castle was a Western-style palace that Xia Wanyuan had never seen before.

"Is this the style of Continent O?" Xia Wanyuan couldn't help but feel her curiosity.

"Not really. Some places have other styles. I'll take you to see when the time comes." Jun Shiling pulled the chair for Xia Wanyuan to sit down.

“Let's celebrate your entrance to the final first.” Jun Shiling picked up his glass of red wine. 

“This is a wine produced by Olly's most famous winery. You can try it."

Xia Wanyuan picked up the wine glass and sipped it doubtfully. It did not have a very stimulating taste but had a very gentle aroma. Xia Wanyuan clinked the glass with Jun Shiling and drank it straight away.

"Uhh."

 While Jun Shiling was helping Xia Wanyuan cut the steak, he had already drunk a glass of wine. Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan looked when she was drunk the last time, helplessness flashed across Jun Shiling's face.

Everyone saw the list. Most of them were world-renowned music masters, and there were one or two newcomers. However, the most surprising thing is that third place on the list is Chinese musicians that they have never heard of in the world.

The first and second place in the rankings are familiar musicians. One of them is a young musician who became famous in Japan in recent years. In everyone's eyes, he was a strong contender for the top three spots in the semi-finals.

Who would have thought that this Xia Wanyuan, who appeared out of nowhere from China, would actually become the biggest dark horse of the year and jump into the top three of the semifinals? Please note, in previous years, the champion of the competition is always in the top three of the semifinal round.

Therefore, many people began to investigate who this Xia Wanyuan was.

In the end, after flipping through the list of newcomers in the music industry, they did not find such a person. It was as if he had jumped out of nowhere.

In the end, some foreigners who had seen "The Long Ballad" felt that the name was a little familiar and guessed that it was the Chinese actor, Xia Wanyuan.

This makes many people wonder, how could a person who has never appeared in the world music industry and whose main role is also this actress can get third place in the semifinals?

A musician from the Han Country participated in the competition. Being ranked 11th in the semi-finals and only one step away from the final, he immediately asked the organizers of the music competition on social media sites.

The basis was that Xia Wanyuan did not have any famous qualifications or works and he used an ancient zither that was not accepted by the mainstream music world.

And this Han country musician, who has been ousted from the 11th rank, is still somewhat famous in the world.

Many netizens stood by this musician's side and questioned that the World Music Competition was created secretly, and there was a conspiracy.

In the end, the issue fermented on overseas websites and spread to China.

To exaggerate, domestic marketing accounts and live news media used the title "Chinese actor Xia Wanyuan placed third in the World Music Competition semi-finals, and netizens mocked and claimed conspiracy".

It's not just foreign netizens who think so. In fact, while the media is writing their script, they also agree with the opinions of foreign netizens. They felt that Xia Wanyuan should have spent money to purchase the rankings. 

Otherwise, with Chinese music and instruments with very low approval like the ancient zither, it would be impossible to get a good rating.

Instantly, all the major Chinese websites and media published this news.

[It's a shame. Xia Wanyuan really humiliated herself in front of the world this time.]

[I know this musician from Han Country. He even held a private concert at the Olly Imperial Theatre last year. He was very strong, but he was completely knocked out. Even though I am Chinese, this time I will not stand on Xia Wanyuan's side using dishonorable means to steal the position of others. Why is he so relaxed?]

[Is there any meaning in this? Officials haven't said anything yet, but you guys quickly put it on. How do you know that Xia Wanyuan spent money? He plays the ancient sitar very well to begin with.]

[Forget it, stop bragging, okay? Now, because Xia Wanyuan is alone, the internet is taunting our China for not having anyone. We can only rely on money to enter the World Competition, understand? It is a shame to be in the same country as such.]

Public opinion in the world is soaring. The competition official finally received everyone's doubts.

Soon, the official website of the competition posted an explanation on platforms outside the Internet.

“Thank you for everyone's attention. We know that a lot of people have objected to the rankings in recent finals. To convince everyone that our competition is fair and transparent, we will then publish the final video of everyone on the Internet. Everyone can discuss if there is a problem with the final rosters based on the performance of the contestants.”

The competition was fast acting. Not long after they posted the statement, they instantly released a video of over a hundred competitors on its official website.

Everyone's main focus was on the videos of the top twenty contestants, especially Xia Wanyuan's videos. It had the highest downloads and was far more than ten times in second place.

After everyone watched Xia Wanyuan's video,

Their first impression was 'F*ck, this is too beautiful!'

The second impression was, 'F*ck, this is too good!'

There's a crazy discussion online.
