Chapter 9

With a single sword in hand, Nan XiangWan danced on the not-so-big stage, yet conveyed a grandeur that was larger than life!

As a general who had fought many battles, Nan XiangWan was very familiar with the sword! This sword may have felt heavy for other girls, but for her, she could handle ten times the weight!

The bold and passionate tune of "Eight Wilds Mountain" brought back memories of the time when she led the Emperor's troops to a decisive victory, piercing through the enemy commander with a single thrust of her sword.

In this sword dance, she incorporated all her martial arts skills.

Each sword thrust seemed to pierce through space and time itself.

Oh, the good old days!

Each sword swipe stirred up a storm.

Spilling blood and tears!

Nan XiangWan conveyed heroism and valor through her dance.

Her straight spine showed an unbending iron will!

The audience fell silent, utterly shocked by her performance.

The four mentors' eyes lit up eagerly.

Zhao Lan even stood up involuntarily, body leaning forward in anticipation.

This was a promising talent!

Such powerful aura in each sword stroke!

She really liked Nan XiangWan!

Hilarious, silly, yet skilled with the sword!

The bullet screen also went crazy:

"OMG! OMG! OMG!"

"Lost for words, all I can say is OMG!"

"What the heck am I seeing?"

"This, this, this..."

"Is this the clueless Nan XiangWan? She's so awesome with the sword!"

"I actually felt like I was on the battlefield! Such passion!"

"Her sword skills are so cool! So cool! Praise this girl!"

"OMG! I love her so much!"

"Strictly speaking, this isn't dancing but martial arts. But I still have to praise her, Nan XiangWan you rock!"

"You rock Nan XiangWan! You rock!"

Even the director was stunned.

She was just too cool!

Three minutes later.

The music stopped, the dance ended.

Nan XiangWan stood in the center of the stage, twirling her sword skillfully before sheathing it and standing at ease.

Her performance drew the event to a successful close.

Xi BaiWei, who had fallen earlier, wanted to continue dancing.

But Nan XiangWan had already established such a powerful aura on stage, it was entirely hers!

Xi BaiWei did not dare go up. She could only stand there blankly.

After watching Nan XiangWan's sword dance, Xi BaiWei was dumbfounded!

Right after, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

All the trainees stood up, clapping vigorously till their hands turned red.

A formidable talent has arrived!

She can even dance with swords!

At the headquarters of South-North Entertainment, in the top-floor office, Gu Beihuai watched the performance on screen, his gaze lingering on Nan XiangWan's face.

His expression was meaningful as he took out his phone and posted a new song on Weibo, without any prior notice!

A track titled "Sword Dance" appeared out of the blue!

He had originally planned this single for this year, maintaining his pace of releasing one song per year after winning all the major awards. He had no drive left.

The MV was already filmed and ready to be released on music platforms after some final editing.

But at this moment, Gu Beihuai unexpectedly just posted it directly!

Soon, his phone rang. It was his agent Lang Hu: Mr. Gu, you posted the new song just like that?

Lang Hu dared not address Gu Beihuai by name directly, having grown used to calling him Mr. Gu externally. As the top agent at South-North Entertainment, he certainly knew the boss behind the scenes!

Gu Beihuai simply uttered an affirmation: Mm, release it on the other platforms too now.

Lang Hu: Now? Just the audio? The MV isn't ready yet.

Gu Beihuai cut him off: No need for MV, this song has no MV.

Lang Hu was puzzled: You don't want the MV anymore? The production team already edited it.

Gu Beihuai: Don't want it, it doesn't look good, ruins the mood.

With that, he hung up. Lang Hu was dumbfounded, they had spent a whole week filming the MV and now it was scrapped just like that?

He promptly logged in to South-North Entertainment's official account and reposted Gu Beihuai's Weibo post.

Weibo instantly blew up.

Idol Gu released a new song!

Gu Beihuai's Weibo page was soon flooded with fans leaving excited messages.

Under South-North Entertainment's official Weibo, more poured in.

Lang Hu browsed through them, and came across questions about the MV. He casually replied: This single has no MV! Thanks to all fans for loving Gu Beihuai!

Very quickly!

Two hot search terms shot to top of trending lists:

[Gu Beihuai's new song "Sword Dance"]

[No MV filmed for "Sword Dance"]

The first was flooded by fans' enthusiasm as usual.

The second was a slaughter scene!

"No MV! No MV my sisters!"

"Leeching fame with package deals huh @Xi BaiWei? Shameless!"

"@Xi BaiWei open your dog eyes and see this! Brother said no MV was filmed!"

"I almost vomited watching Xi BaiWei's scheming on the livestream!"

"Just got back from cursing the white dog, anyone know Nan XiangWan's Weibo? I want to support this girl!"

"Official account of the show, open a Weibo for Nan XiangWan already! How do you run things?"

Hordes of fans turned against Xi BaiWei over this, switching to support Nan XiangWan instead.

Oblivious to all this, Nan XiangWan was still sitting properly in her seat on set!

She had upheld her D rating after all!

[Ding!]

[Completed mission from Xi BaiWei, Xi BaiWei suffered miserable defeat!]

[Rewards: Congratulations host gained Dance Mastery skill, 10x online shopping cashback once, Charisma +2!]

With three successive rewards bombarding her muddled mind, Nan XiangWan was over the moon.

What excited her most was getting 10x cashback for online shopping again!

Hahaha!

So under the scrutiny of cameras pointed at her from all angles, amidst the cheers from girls in the audience and the mentors' frenzied praises.

She took out her phone from her pocket.

Everyone on set: ???

Bullet screen:

"????"

"????"

"Nan XiangWan! Look at the camera!"

"My god! This fool is looking at her phone when the camera is on her!"

"How does she still have her phone, weren't they confiscated?"

"I really can't follow Nan XiangWan's thought process, what a ridiculous move! Taking out her phone when the camera is on her???"

"Gu Beihuai fans here to support sister Nan XiangWan!"

"Us Yan fans are here, queue up to spray Xi BaiWei!"

"Let's start! Attack!"

"Xi BaiWei right? This lady here will remember you! Get ready to be flamed for life in the industry! Swarms of antis awaits you!"

"Heh, Xi BaiWei is off stage? No problem, keep the cursing going!"

Soon, Gu Beihuai fans flooded the bullet screen.

Other than the few who watched the show and supported Nan XiangWan, most were here to bash Xi BaiWei!

Clearly, after Gu Beihuai released his new track "Sword Dance", Xi BaiWei became public enemy number one.

Didn't you say you filmed the MV for brother's new song?

What MV? Female lead?

Brother's new song has no MV at all!

Xi BaiWei you schemer!!!

How massive is Gu Beihuai's fanbase?

Countless fans, idol worshippers, acting fans!

A swarm of fans is scorched earth!

Offending them leads to just one consequence - finished!

Whether they watched this show or not, as the news spread, hordes totaling hundreds of thousands rushed in, flooding the screen with all kinds of curses at Xi BaiWei.
