The gazes of the tens of thousands in the stadium were all trained on Xia Ling.

Xia Ling remained calm and composed under all their gazes and received the microphone from Sister Mai Na.

Keep acting, just keep acting. Xia Yu kept thinking maliciously. Ye Xingling, what do you plan on doing now? Pretend to accidentally drop the microphone such that it malfunctions? Don't worry, I will prepare many spare microphones just for you...

A small smile crept on the edge of Xia Yu's lips. She could already imagine the devastating impact this would have on "Ye Xingling."

However, in the next second her smile froze over.

Onstage, that fresh-looking girl in the long, silver-blue dress softly said, "Hello."

Even though it was just one word, but Xia Yu seemed like she had been struck by lightning. How was that possible?! This bitch was actually speaking?! Hadn't she already been poisoned mute?!

Xia Yu's expression was that of shock as she turned pale. "You can speak?!"

"Why wouldn't I be able to speak?" Xia Ling's voice was very soft and sounded a little fatigued and hoarse, but was gentle and pleasant, making others concentrate and listen closely. She gave a slight frown and said into the microphone, "I've always been able to speak."

"Stop lying, you clearly have been... " Xia Yu caught herself mid-sentence. She had almost accidentally revealed that Ye Xingling had been poisoned mute by Brother Ziheng in her fluster.

"I clearly have been what?" Unfortunately, Xia Ling had caught on and was not going to let her go easily.

Xia Yu cursed her silently in her heart. This bitch! She was clearly trying to make her admit! "Sister Mai Na had clearly said that your throat needed to be rested and you can't talk. Why are you so easily speaking now?" Xia Yu abruptly corrected her statement.

Xia Ling did not let her get away with it. "Who said that I definitely needed to speak? If I didn't speak wouldn't I have been accused of lip-synching by some people with an ulterior motive?"

The audience broke out in a bustle of discussion. Yes, she was right, Xia Yu was the one that insisted on Xia Ling opening her mouth to speak in order to prove her innocence. Now that she had spoken, why was Xia Yu so shocked? Was Xia Yu sure that she was unable to speak before? If so, why was it that Xia Yu was so sure? And why was it that knowing that Xia Ling could not speak, she was so adamant on getting her to open her mouth?

Tons of questions emerged in the minds of the audience.

Xia Yu was sensitive to the commotion in the audience and knew that things were not looking up for her. She hurriedly said, "Okay, Ye Xingling, since you have proven that you can speak, I will believe that you did not lip-synch." She tried to turn the audiences' attention away and gave the man that had earlier accused Xia Ling, who was now standing by the side, a meaningful look.

That man understood and spoke up. "Miss Xia Yu is too innocent, thus she believes that you did not lip-synch. Ye Xingling, the audience and I will not be fooled! I heard the staff backstage loud and clear, you lip-synched! Even if you can open your mouth to speak, so what? Your vocal condition is bad, perhaps you were afraid that you would lose and had pre-recorded a song to lip-synch to!"

"Are you done?" Xia Ling responded mildly.

That man was stunned at her calm reaction and subconsciously nodded his head.
