Among the judges, Lü Jixiao was undoubtedly the most senior.

Next was Master Hongyuan, and then Jiang Qingyang.

Of course, seniority is one thing, but it has nothing to do with ability. However, since he can sit on the judging panel, his ability is naturally beyond question.

"There's no rush with calligraphy and painting. Let's give them some time to create. Let's take a look at the guqin section first."

Lü Jixiao was the first to stand up, followed closely by the others, and the five of them appeared together in the guqin area.

Wow! It's my idol!

"Give our male idol more screen time!"

"Go for it, my idol!"

…

When the camera focused on Cangquan Zuoyi, the female fans who had been waiting in the live stream room screamed in excitement.

Of course, some fans also noticed that Cangquan Zoe's expression was a bit off. He seemed to be playing the zither, but his eyes kept glancing at a certain area out of the corner of his eye.

Who is he looking at?!

Why does that look in his eyes seem to convey a mix of anger and fear?

Whether it was intentional on the part of the filming crew or not, the camera suddenly gave a close-up of Lin Rui.

"Isn't this the male singer who sang 'Big Fish'?"

"Hey, no wonder you looked familiar. I almost forgot about you if you hadn't pointed it out."

Is he going to a competition?

"What a load of rubbish! The competition has already started, and can't you see him still wandering around aimlessly behind a bunch of people? In my opinion, he's just a gofer."

"Nonsense. Let me give you a little background. This person's stage name is Fusheng. Didn't the cultural walls in other states unlock? I went to Haozhou after the New Year and also took the time to learn about the entertainment industry there. This Fusheng is a top figure."

"That intense?"

"I believe he's coming here to become a celebrity. Anyway, brothers, we're in for a treat from now on, believe me."

…

During the selection process, Lin Rui hardly expressed any opinions.

He felt that Lu Jixiao and Yin Zhixun's assessments were reasonable and well-founded, without any misunderstandings, and therefore required no further explanation.

Master Hongyuan was the same; he didn't say much, but he stopped chanting sutras with his eyes closed. After turning on the live stream camera, he had a kind and benevolent expression throughout, like a highly accomplished monk.

When it was Cangquan Zoe's turn to appear, many guests looked on with strange expressions.

The outside world was naturally unaware of what had just happened, as there was no live broadcast before the match. However, the guests who had already entered the venue could not pretend not to know. They looked at Cangquan Zoe and then at Lin Rui, and immediately showed interest.

Will Xia Zhou Fusheng, who is about to become a celebrity and has an extremely terrifying background, take revenge on the judges from the sidelines?

Not to mention them, even Lu Jixiao and others sitting on the judging panel couldn't help but have similar thoughts.

Noticing the questioning look in Lü Jixiao's eyes, Lin Rui smiled slightly and lowered his voice, but it was still loud enough for everyone on the judges' panel to hear.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lü. I don't like to be too serious about things. If I go too far, there will be no room for negotiation."

Lu Jixiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Master Hongyuan chanted Amitabha: "Judging from your words, they all conform to Buddhist thought. You must enjoy meditation on a regular basis, right?"

"dislike."

Lin Rui shook his head directly: "If sitting in meditation can lead to Zen, then wouldn't everyone be able to become a Buddha just by sitting down?"
