The fans were unaware that this was a requirement of the production team.

I just took it as the mentor's concern for the trainees.

But Philomina's fans noticed something was wrong while watching the show.

Everyone's having a get-together, where's our Mina? ???

[This xenophobia is just too much!]

Does Shi Xi deserve to be a mentor? Is she really that petty?

[...]

Philomena's fans had long disliked Shi Xi and began to criticize her.

Shi Xi did not understand.

She and Philomena had absolutely no connection.

Moreover, she is the mentor, and Philomena is the trainee.

The two of them are not even on the same track!

What's there to tear apart?

Shi Xi's fans, however, are very clear about the ins and outs of the matter.

"Is it because you're jealous that Shi Xi became the face of The Top? Hahaha, your jealousy is really ugly."

"I'm not trying to be mean, but there's a world of difference between trainees and mentors, so why bother comparing them?"

“Philomena is from the United States, so naturally her fans will defend their own country’s idol.”

"Haha, I have no expectations for this show anymore. The production team clearly intends to make Philomina the top."

"..."

Although it was a talent show jointly organized by five countries, and the hype in the early stages was huge, domestic talent show fans were well aware of the truth.

When the US hosts a program, they would never give up first place.

Shi Xi's fans didn't even bother to explain.

Whether you eat hot pot or not is up to you.

Why should Shi Xi cook hot pot for Philomena?

When fans saw Shi Xi risking cooking (?) to prepare hot pot, they already subconsciously rejected the appearance of Philomena.

The other trainees at least respected their teachers and were respectful to their mentors and friends, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Is Shi Xi ostracizing Philomena?

Fans: Wow, if this is true, I'll be the first to cheer!

Philomena fans: ! @#R$^

The fans made a small fuss, and then the matter was dropped.

During the finals, fans were voting to rank the final results.

Besides the trainees in the final round, the mentors also need to prepare a stage.

Each person gets a solo stage.

Fans from each group were celebrating as if it were Chinese New Year.

Who isn't a stage fan?!

…

Final night.

The first to take the stage was Kwon Da-won, a female mentor from Country H.

Kwon Da-won dyed her hair a hazy blue color and added some bright touches to her eyelashes, making her look like a total idol.

Having debuted as an idol, their abilities are naturally different.

Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but she is also excellent in singing and dancing.

The comments section was filled with praise.

The other mentors showcased their talents through singing or dancing.

Fans couldn't help but worry for Shi Xi.

"I'm so worried about Xixi's stage performance."

"Wuwu Xixi's singing and dancing are amazing! But the mentors in front of her are all so handsome too!"

"Sisters, let's not compare. Xixi will definitely do well on this stage!"

"..."

The stage went completely dark.

Fans at the scene and in front of their screens held their breath, waiting for Shi Xi to appear.

Not long after, a spotlight shone on the stage.

A young girl in a red dress stood atop the stage.

Under the light, her delicate face appeared even more sacred, pure, and inviolable. The falling crimson petals made her seem like a divine maiden descending from the heavens.

The background music is the soft and melodious sound of a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).

The melodious piano music played as the girl in red slowly landed in the center of the stage, the bells on her wrists jingling softly, her every step like a lotus blossom.

The young girl's figure was graceful, and every move she made carried the tenderness of time. Yet, her dance was skillful and powerful, and it did not appear weak and feeble.
