214: War Bear Country Invasion

Xu Ruoying smiled and said, "Why don't we just do a live broadcast? Qin Family Head has the equipment; I'll just ask him to set it up beforehand!"

Qin Fu Yi, who had followed Xu Ruoying over, immediately said upon hearing this, "No problem, I'll arrange for people to go to Fengyang No. 1 High School right away to set up the venue!"

"Then I'll leave it to Qin Family Head!" Xu Ruoying laughed.

Long Yuan saw how well the two were cooperating, realizing they must have planned this long ago. Feeling a bit helpless, he said, "It looks like I need to prepare a few more songs..."

Xu Ruoying smilingly took out three scores and handed them to Long Yuan, saying, "These are a few songs recently composed by a 'Upper Xuan Level'-level Creator from our company. This one is called 'Maple Leaves Red,' which is also a campus folk song somewhat similar to 'you at the same table.' And 'Moon Bay' and 'Rouge Tears' are also excellent songs! Hurry up and familiarize yourself with them so you can perform them on stage later!"

"Oh? Songs composed by a Upper Xuan Level-level?" Long Yuan took the scores with great interest and began reading them... According to Xu Ruoying's previous explanation, the Upper Xuan Level level was more Advanced than the Diamond Level and the Lower Xuan Level. Such Creators were definitely pillar-level figures within Shidai Tianyin Company. After these songs were composed, they were shelved because no singer met the Creator's requirements. This time, upon Xu Ruoying's request, Prince Dai personally ordered their release, and the Creator, hearing that Long Yuan would be singing them, naturally agreed immediately. Thus, Xu Ruoying brought them over!

Long Yuan mentally sang these songs and felt they were all too bland, just like the feeling he got from listening to the songs on the great ming golden melody chart before. To put it bluntly, these songs seemed very immature in many aspects—whether it was the lyrics, melody, arrangement, instrumentation, range, or pitch—none of them reached the standard of an excellent golden hit. Even 'Maple Leaves Red,' while slightly better than most of the others, was only marginally so, and the gap between them and the golden hits from Earth in his mind was simply too vast... "How are they? These songs are pretty good, right?" Xu Ruoying asked, full of anticipation.

Long Yuan shook his head and smiled, "These songs don't quite suit my style. I think I'll prepare my own songs."

"What?! These aren't good enough? These were composed by the famous Wei Dong! Others have to spend a lot of money just to get him to customize one song for them..." Xu Ruoying exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Fu Yi, Yun Feiyan, and the others widened their eyes in disbelief upon hearing that these songs were all composed by Wei Dong. Yun Feiyan quickly understood that Xu Ruoying must be from Shidai Tianyin Company, as Wei Dong was indeed quite famous—he was the well-known composer of Shidai Tianyin Company.

"Uh, I'm not saying they're bad, just that they don't quite fit my performing style. How about this: when can the Qin Family's band arrive? I will give them the setlist for tonight's performance so they can practice beforehand..." Long Yuan said.

Qin Fu Yi immediately replied upon hearing this, "Long Yuan, can I have them go wait at Fengyang No. 1 High School right now?"

"No problem!"

The three discussed while riding the Fengyang No. 1 High School bus back together... With a "ding," Xu Ruoying's phone received a message. She quickly checked it, and her expression immediately darkened slightly!

"What's wrong?" Long Yuan asked.

"I received some unpleasant news..." Xu Ruoying hesitated, looking at the lively atmosphere on the school bus, making her reluctant to speak.

Yun Feiyan was feeling sensitive, as she was worried about the missing Yun Yi and the Cult disturbance that happened this morning, so she couldn't help but ask, "It's not related to this morning's Cult, is it?"

Xu Ruoying shook her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, you'll all know soon enough, so I might as well tell you now. The Family just sent a message saying that the War Bear Country in the north suddenly launched an invasion against our Great Ming. They are currently attacking Zhenyuan City on the Northern Defense Line, and that city happens to be a central city guarded by my aunt!"

"What?! Damn the War Bear Country!" Yun Feiyan cried out.

The teachers and students on the bus also heard this and immediately erupted into an uproar, angrily cursing the War Bear Country. They knew that the pressure from the Exotic Beasts was already so immense, yet the War Bear Country was still launching a war against other Human Race nations. This was utterly shameless and brainless!

"If it weren't so far from the Northern Defense Line, I would definitely go support Zhenyuan City!"

"Exactly, it's just a shame that my combat power is too limited to be of much use!"

"Zhenyuan City is guarded by Great General Xu, right?"

"Yes! Could this person also be a member of the Xu Family?"

"Oh my god, someone from the Xu Family is actually on our school bus?"

"Good heavens, this is amazing..."

At this moment, many people realized that the woman who had been following them all along was actually a member of the Xu Family, a Super Family of Great Ming. Why would she come to a remote corner like Fengyang?

However, seeing that she had been with Long Yuan and discussing tonight's performance, everyone understood: this member of the Xu Family came specifically for Long Yuan. On this bus, perhaps only Long Yuan was qualified enough to warrant her visit... The people on the bus suddenly became extremely respectful towards Xu Ruoying, and even their voices quieted significantly. Xu Ruoying shook her head helplessly, knowing this would happen if she spoke out, but this news truly needed to be shared immediately; every person of Great Ming should know about it sooner rather than later.

Long Yuan recalled the information about the War Bear Country captured by the Heavenly Dao Eye and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed true. This country was a lunatic, possessing a special obsession with territorial expansion. They would launch wars or use other means to gain land whenever they felt they had a chance. This time, he didn't know what gave them the confidence to brazenly launch an invasion against Great Ming. Did they truly believe they could defeat Great Ming?

Zhenyuan City's strength was not weak; its commander was Xu Yanran of the Xu Family, who was an Advanced Mind Power Master. Her threat on the battlefield was immense, and it would be impossible to take Zhenyuan City without a means to counter her. Had the War Bear Country truly developed something new?

Long Yuan felt a little unsettled, but there was nothing he could do. Currently, the detection capability of the Heavenly Dao Eye had not yet reached Shuntian Prefecture, let alone the Northern Defense Line, so he couldn't gather any information. Without the initiative provided by information, it was difficult to accurately predict the course of the war... After thinking for a moment, he said to Xu Ruoying, "Sister Ying, tell your aunt to be careful. The War Bear Country wouldn't launch this operation unless they had a way to deal with her!"

Xu Ruoying was startled, then thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense! I will send her a message to warn her!"

She quickly started operating on her phone...
