Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

After swallowing hard, Jiang Man'er straightened her chest and said, "I think my suggestion is very reasonable! We can't have people from the Peacock Empire come to our academy for a music competition. With a red-rank singer like you here, how could we possibly lose? That would make us a laughingstock!"

This comes prepared.

Naturally, he wasn't afraid of Zhou Qiqi's difficult behavior.

Jiang Man'er's words swayed the students and teachers.

They all spoke up:

"Yes, we all have Red-Rank Singers, we can't afford to lose this battle!"

"Jiang Man'er's suggestion is good. This way, we can not only win the competition, but also improve the overall strength of our soldiers. It would be good to produce more sheet music."

"Right, you can't just occasionally make a song or two in private and never release it to the market, thus not helping the rest of us, right?"

That makes sense!

"Zhou Qiqi, if you contribute a sheet of music, you can easily get all the money from the auctioned sheet music, and even all the prize money from the competition!"

"Our other singers have also been promoted, and we soldiers have the opportunity to buy good sheet music!"

"That's a good idea!"

Qin Ye watched as everyone's eyes grew ambitious and greedy.

He couldn't help but step forward.

Qin Ye raised his voice, lowering the volume of the others, and said, "I think we should respect Zhou Qiqi! As a singer, Zhou Qiqi should have the freedom to dispose of her own sheet music."

"What you're doing is wrong!"

Jiang Man'er interrupted urgently: "Young Master Qin, we're doing this for everyone's benefit! Zhou Qiqi is hoarding all the benefits, and the Zhou family won't even let a single sheet of music circulate in the market."

"That's so selfish!"

"Singers should dedicate their strength to help our country and make our soldiers stronger! Our soldiers have an obligation to stand firm on the front lines, and singers are no exception!"

Hearing Jiang Man'er's words.

Everyone agreed and nodded in agreement.

"Yup!"

"Soldiers have a duty to rush to the front lines for everyone, so why can't Zhou Qiqi contribute a sheet of music?"

"We just want to improve our strength so we can hunt alien beasts better on the battlefield in the future. It's not like Zhou Qiqi won't get the rewards."

"It is everyone's responsibility to defend our country! Soldiers have a responsibility, and so do singers!"

Ning Xueting bit her lower lip.

She stepped forward, looked at Qin Ye, and said in a high-pitched, soft voice, "Zhou Qiqi is the most talented singer in our academy. If she loses face in front of the Peacock Empire, the people outside will criticize her! We're doing this for her own good!"

"It's not just a matter of whether or not we should make sacrifices now."

"A red-rank singer's reputation is equally important! Young Master Qin, do you really want to see Zhou Qiqi willing to face everyone's questioning gaze and be despised by the Peacock Empire?"

Qin Ye slowly scanned the crowd, taking in the anger on their faces.

He said, "Soldiers should take care of themselves, and singers have their own freedom. We forced Zhou Qiqi to participate in the competition and made her give up her painstaking work. Isn't that a form of contempt?"

Zhou Qiqi raised her eyelids and looked at her classmates. Among all the classmates and teachers, only Qin Ye had a disapproving expression.

If something touches upon people's core interests, it will inevitably be met with a crackdown from those in power.

It's unclear whether Qin Ye is genuinely speaking up for her or just pretending to play the good cop/bad cop role with them.

Zhou Qiqi revealed a cold smile: "Your idea is great, but unfortunately, when it comes to music and art, it's a pity that you can't just have an inspiration and create a high-level song."

She looked at Jiang Man'er and Ning Xueting.

A bright smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Are you right?"
