Lin Xiyan was a little surprised by the speech. She nodded, “Qingqing, I understand.”


  Qiao Qing sighed and patted her head, “I will do what I can with this. In the future, be aware of the girl Qin Mengdie from your class.”


  Lin Xiyan once again was taken aback. She pressed her head into Qiao Qing’s palm, “I got it Qingqing. Thank you.”


  Qiao Qing smiled. “No need to thank me. Let’s go first.”


  After the two left the changing area, a girl walked in. She gave the two a glare before picking up the zither from one of the shelves.

  These two didn’t think much about this. When they were almost at the exit, they ran into Lin Xiyan’s classmates.

  One girl went up to Lin Xiyan and grabbed her hand. As if she cared, she asked, “Xiyan, what happened?”


  Qiao Qing’s gaze fixated on this girl’s face for a while. Her eyes narrowed.

  Lin Xiyan remembered Qiao Qing’s words and pulled her hands back from Qin Mengdie. With a cold voice, she said, “Nothing.”


  Qin Mengdie froze. She seemed unsettled and wanted to say something more.

  Just then, the girl who went to get the zither returned. She pointed at Qiao Qing and Lin Xiyan, “Those two! They were the only two who were backstage just now!”


  Qiao Qing raised her head, “What’s going on?”


  “What’s going on? You are asking a question you know the answer to! My zither was fine when I left it on the shelf. After you came, it broke. Who else could it be if not you!?”


  Qiao Qing and Lin Xiyan exchanged glances. When they left backstage, they saw Yi Shiqiong in the center of the stage, looking sullen.

  One of the girls said, “Are you happy to see our goddess embarrassed? Do you know how people have been waiting to hear her play? You destroyed her zither and screwed up her performance. How does that benefit you!?”


  Below, the audience began to gossip. Jun Yexuan’s mystic eyes narrowed and his lips curled up deviously.

  Upstage, Lin Xiyan shouted back, “You’re accusing us without evidence! Yes, we were backstage, but why does that make us the ones who damaged the zither!?”


  The girl yelled back, “It was fine before you were there! After you left, it broke. Are you suggesting a ghost broke it?!”


  Qiao Qing was expressionless. Her voice was calm when she said, “Let’s bring up the surveillance video.”


  The girl froze for a second and bit her lower lip.

  Yi Shiqiong spoke out then, “It’s not the time to chase down who is responsible for this. Those two juniors and I have had some disagreements before. I can understand if they wanted to take it out on me like this. It’s just that the zither broke, so I will have to disappoint everyone today.”


  Then, she stood up and bowed down to the audience, “Sorry everyone. Because of what happened, I cannot perform today.”


  Just then, the audience broke out.

  “What? I waited so long for my goddess to play the zither. Now she’s telling me she won’t be playing?”


  “Wow, senior Yi sure is generous! She’s a victim. Not only is she not holding down the two responsible, but she’s also apologizing to us?!”


  “Exactly! I originally thought that girl there was pretty. Who knew she’s so low!”


  “Also the other girl. She just entered the entertainment industry and gained millions of fans. She even knocked down the superstar from Star Entertainment. She may seem like a victim on the outside, but there is just no way a true victim knows how to play tricks like this!”
