In the wings.

Yesterday's Daylily sighed and said, "It's my turn."

Spinach cheered, "Break a leg, Brother Daylily."

"What kind of name is that?" Yesterday's Daylily said, "Hai, do I even need to go onstage?"

Spinach smiled and said, "You can't make it through regardless, so let loose and sing."

Yesterday's Daylily looked at her, speechless. "Are you trying to console me?"

Spinach nodded. "Well, yes."

Yesterday's Daylily almost burst into tears. "Thanks a lot."

It took a lot of effort for the audience to calm down.

Then Dong Shanshan immediately announced that the next contestant take the stage.

Yesterday's Daylily took a deep breath and strode out onto the stage. He knew that he definitely stood no chance today. Whether it was against Sunflower or The Clown, they were both much better singers than he was. Moreover, the two of them had already accumulated a lot of popularity on this stage. As a result, Yesterday's Daylily let himself go since this was his last song on the stage. All he wanted now was to show the best side of himself.

Going into the performance with this thought, he managed to do much better than expected when singing his song!

The judges were surprised.

The audience was also surprised.

Even Yesterday's Daylily did not expect it. He had sung his second song much better than his first, surpassing his usual level!

The elimination round performances ended.

Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Alright. Now let's welcome Sunflower and The Clown back on stage."

Sunflower and The Clown returned.

When the audience saw them, they gave them a thunderous round of applause!

"The Clown!"

"The Clown!"

"Li Yu!"

"Li Yu!"

The shouting started again!

Dong Shanshan maintained order. "Hur hur, everyone, please calm down. Shall we have the judges give their comments? Who are you cheering for in this round? Who do you think will make it into the next episode?"

The judges were silent for a bit.

Dong Shanshan named one of them. "Teacher Yao?"

Yao Jiancai chuckled and said, "I'm just a layman, so I can't make any professional judgments here. Let's listen to what the other teachers have to say first."

Zhang Xia spoke, "I'll talk about Yesterday's Daylily first. I still can't recognize who you are, but I think that you should be somewhat well-known in the music industry. You were a little nervous during the first song and overly cautious about making mistakes, so you didn't manage to perform to your potential. But for the second song, you sang very well and the choice of song was good as well. You gave me the feeling that you're like a younger version of Chen Guang and full of potential."

Yesterday's Daylily bowed his head. "Thank you, Teacher Zhang Xia, but I don't deserve to be compared to Teacher Chen."

Zhang Xia thought for a moment. "Then, for Sunflower in the Starlight, a lot of people already know who you are. For you to be sing like that, I completely expected it. But of course, it did not manage to surprise me as a result. I believe that you did not manage to perform to your best today. As for The Clown, I still have nothing else to say besides the fact that you're outstanding. This "I Really Love You" truly made me cry. Thanks to you and the team behind you for writing such a song!" She was speaking without bias and on the performance itself.

But Amy's comments were more skewed. "If I were to choose, I would definitely pick The Clown. Whether it's his singing or the song, they raised the bar over the other two performers. And I was disappointed with Sunflower's performance today. Although it was nice to listen to, it did not reach that quality I was looking for!"

Sunflower did not say anything.

The Clown kept quiet as well.

Actually, Sunflower did not perform as poorly as Amy had said. It was because of Li Yu's behavior and extreme methods that Amy didn't have a good impression of him. How could you expose yourself outside the show? Paying for PR campaigns? Asking for votes? Using your popularity to muzzle the other contestants? Alright then, us judges can do the same to you and restrain you on the show! Haven't you heard the saying "only the official is allowed to light the fire"?

Some members of the audience were not having any of this.

"What the heck!"

"What are you saying!"

"Li Yu sang so well!"

"What lousy song was The Clown even singing!"

"Is there something wrong with your hearing?"

"What kinds of judges are these? Are you sure they're professionals?"

"Ptui!"'

Some of Li Yu's fans were annoyed by the judges' comments!

Chen Guang did not care about the commotion in the crowd. He asked, "The Clown, are you actually a singer from Hong Kong?"

Wang Zhuishu also asked, "Are you?"

When The Clown sang the Cantonese version of "Our Villagers," his pronunciation was not too standard. It was even so funny that it made a lot of people double over with laughter, and no one thought that he was a Cantonese singer. But with today's song, he had confused everyone again!

Who could he be!

Just where was this singer from?

Chen Yidong stared at The Clown. "Can you give us some clues?"

Amy asked as well, "You mentioned that you were at least a B-lister? Is that true? Also, where are you really from?"

They were very curious!

They were so curious about who this man was that they would die to find out!

The Clown thought for a moment before raising his microphone and singing.

"My home's in the northeast!

"On the Songhua River!

"There are hills and dales covered with soybeans and sorghum!"

He could switch between two different accents!

The judges and audience fainted!

Bro!

Could you please stop messing around?

Just stop it!

What the heck was even happening!

You were just a Hong Konger, and now you've become a northeasterner!?

Everyone had to take their hat off to this person. They were completely taken in by this person's ability to sing spontaneously about anything, and he could even do it so convincingly!

Dong Shanshan didn't know how to react as she stood beside him.

What sort of person was this?!

Why does he never say anything truthful?

Sunflower's eyes underneath his mask were staring coldly at The Clown!

Yao Jiancai looked at him curiously. This person was really too wondrous, wasn't he? In the entertainment circle, other than his long-time partner Zhang Ye, was there another person who was like this?

Dong Shanshan quickly said, "Alright, let's begin the voting. As this is the elimination round and there can only be one contestants who stays in the competition, everyone should consider their votes carefully before casting them!"

In a heartbeat, the atmosphere turned tense!

Sunflower looked into the audience.

The Clown did not say a word.

"Give it to Li Yu!"

"Give it to The Clown!"

"'I Really Love You,' that's the best song I've ever heard!"

"Do you even know Cantonese?"

"The lyrics were shown on the big screen, can't you read?"

"'I Really Love You' is the only song that I fell in love with immediately after hearing it! It's goddamn amazing! It even suits the occasion well! Mother's Day is coming up! These two songs of The Clown's were incredibly touching! I could hear from his performances that he truly sang them from the bottom of his heart! I used to think that The Clown was very godly during the last two episodes, but I've realized that he's even more godly in this episode!"

"I liked that 'Life's More Than the Grind'!"

"Hurry up and vote already!"

"Ah, Li Yu's ahead!"

"What?"

"The Clown!"

"The Clown!"

"Li Yu!"

The audience members were nearly coming to blows!

Zhang Ye's father didn't really know how to operate the voting device. He was getting on in age after all, so it was difficult for him to pick up something new. As a result, he handed the voting device to Zhang Ye's eldest sister and said, "Dandan, help me to vote."

His eldest sister said, "Sure. Who do you want to vote for?"

His father didn't hesitate. "The Clown!"

His mother also said, "Help me too."

"Who do you want?" His eldest sister looked at her.

His mother said, "The Clown."

His third sister exclaimed, "What? You're all voting for The Clown? Then me too!"

His mother said seriously, "Even if Zhang Yuanqi were to come today, or whichever Heavenly King, I would still give my vote to The Clown!"

His second sister said, "Me too! I was actually here to support Li Yu, but when those two Cantonese songs were sung, it was too obvious who sang better! The difference between those two songs is too obvious!"

"I Really Hate You"?

It was just a petty love song.

But "I Really Love You"? This was a song about a great love!

The tallies were ever changing!

Sunflower had taken the lead and never relinquished it!

The Clown was in second.

Yesterday's Daylily was in last place.

10 votes…

50 votes…

100 votes…

When Li Yu saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself how his popularity was still holding up. No matter what The Clown sang, he shouldn't lose. He used to be an A-lister after all, a big name who was famous throughout the country, so how could he possibly lose to an anonymous singer whose identity no one knew?

However, when the voting was coming to a close, Li Yu expression finally changed!

The Clown was catching up!

Then, The Clown overtook him!

Li Yu's expression instantly darkened!

What was happening?

What the hell is this?

Keep voting for me!

All of you, give me your damn votes!

What the hell are you people doing? Just what?

Hurry up!

Hurry!

The Clown, on the other hand, did not turn to look at the big screen and just stood there quietly.

Close to the end, Li Yu was too scared to watch. His dark look was facing the audience and he was really panicking now. He had chosen to offend Beijing Television and the other singers by revealing himself, which had led to this situation, all because he wanted to get to the throne of the Masked King and become the grand champion of the show. He had wanted to use King of Masked Singers to garner more support and make his return to the A-list Celebrity Rankings! But right now, even he himself did not know why he wasn't in the versus round for the crown of the Masked King. Instead, he was actually facing the risk of elimination? How could this be possible?! This…this didn't make any fucking sense!

Finally, Dong Shanshan announced, "Alright, voting has ended!"

The entire studio fell silent!

A lot of people looked angry!

But many others were gasping!

"The winner is…" Dong Shanshan announced, "The Clown!"

Instantaneously, applause filled the studio!

Sunset Glow felt excited!

Spinach was screaming!

Hu Fei shouted, "Great!"

Han Qi was so excited she nearly cried. "He won! He won! Teacher Clown has won!"

My god!

This was too unbelievable!

Petal Shower took the first round while The Clown handled the second round!

It was a double play!

The two of them had killed off Li Yu!

The task that had seemed impossible to everyone had been completed by Petal Shower and The Clown! The Beijing Television program team staff did not know what to say!

Some of them could not believe it!

Some of them were dumbfounded!

Assistant Xu, who was backstage, almost smashed the things around him! Son of a bitch!

Onstage, Li Yu couldn't breathe!

Why?

How did this happen?

Petal Shower?

The Clown?

Who the fuck are you people?!

Dong Shanshan suddenly said, "Teacher Sunflower, Teacher Yesterday's Daylily, sorry, but you have been eliminated. The two of you did quite well, and the judges have given both of you their comments. Right now, you can choose whether to reveal yourself or not. Would you like some time to think?"

Sunflower's face stayed under the cover of his mask.

Dong Shanshan had to ask again.

Sunflower said, "I choose not to take my mask off!" He stormed off the stage without even making a speech!

How embarrassing!

How face smacking!

Right now, Li Yu no longer had any face left to reveal himself!

His face had been smacked "swollen"!
