<h4>Chapter 442</h4>


    Yang Rongjun only reacted at this point that his surname was Yang, and instantly felt a little ufortable.


    He had eaten his fellow tribesman? And eaten it several times!


    And so, Best Neer was easily and happily awarded to Nan Xiangwan, while the expressions of the other four nominees rxed a little.


    To be honest, they had worried for nothing. Everyone knew that Nan Xiangwan''s nomination was bound to end in her winning.


    Her poprity and ability far surpassed that of the other neers!


    She was evenpeting with professional teachers in the extremely demanding "Singer" stage, and Nan Xiangwan hade first every time.


    Even Yang Rongjun, who was presenting her with the award, had stated multiple times that Nan Xiangwan''s presence inspired in him a rarepetitive urge to sing well and have a proper contest.


    It was like meeting a worthy opponent - how thrilling!


    Nan Xiangwan took the trophy and jogged off stage, bouncing happily like a red elf, her skirt swirling up beautifully around her - a lovely sight.


    Behind her, Guan Liangzhe yelled anxiously, "Slow down! Don''t fall!"


    But Nan Xiangwan was as steady as a rock.


    She strode confidently off the stage without even breathing heavily, and sat back down in her seat.


    The next award was Best Album, with five nominees including the first album "Wastnd" from the band Destiny Girls.


    Nan Xiangwan sat down to rest, fiddling with the trophy in her hands.


    Her bandmates were either tense or praying - the atmosphere was heavy.


    Even Ge Dongxuan had stopped smiling, and looked on the verge of tears from nervousness!


    Yang Rongjun nced at the script and announced in a loud voice, "Best Album! Wastnd! Congrattions to Destiny Girls!"


    Nan Xiangwan had barely warmed her seat before realizing she had to go on stage again.


    Just then a staff member hurried over and crouched down to take her Best Neer trophy from her.


    Staff: "We''ll engrave it backstage. Please collect it before you leaveter."


    Nan Xiangwan obediently handed over the trophy, then got up and headed on stage with her bandmates.


    Zhu Sha was very emotional, her eyes red, as she led her teammates to stand in a line.


    The other teammates were equally overwhelmed - just being nominated was already more than they had dared to dream, let alone actually winning an award!


    Wastnd was so powerful!


    Nan Xiangwan is awesome! Nan Xiangwan is flying high!


    Since there was only one trophy, it was given to Zhu Sha to hold.


    Clutching the trophy, Zhu Sha gave an eptance speech. Although she was so emotional she was nearly in tears, she still spoke clearly and coherently.


    With poise, she expressed thanks to those who deserved it, and promised to keep working hard.


    In short, her speech was in marked contrast to the casual discussion about eatingmb between Nan Xiangwan and Yang Rongjun earlier - much more professional!


    Watching the seven of them, Guan Liangzhe remarked, "Having seen you all grow up, it''s been a difficult journey but you made it. Keep going!"


    The seven bowed in unison, then returned to their seats.


    The staff member came over again to collect the trophy for engraving - this time with all the Destiny Girls'' names.


    Guan Liangzhe smoothly moved on to announce: "Next award, Best Composer!"


    The five nominated songs included two by Nan Xiangwan alone.


    Wastnd and If The Gods Would Favor were both nominated!


    Seeing two photos of Nan Xiangwan appear on the big screen, the audience reacted in surprise.


    Was this allowed?


    For one person to take up two nomination spots - didn''t that increase her chances of winning?


    Already there were murmurs of discontent!


    Yang Rongjun checked his script and exined, "The reason one person has two different nominated songs is because the entertainmentpanies submitted their entries separately. Wastnd was submitted by South North Entertainment, while If The Gods Would Favor was submitted by Huawan Entertainment. The twopanies didn''tmunicate, it seems? Theposer for both songs is Nan Xiangwan."


    Guan Liangzhe chimed in, "I heard that South North Entertainment and Huawan Entertainment didn''t get along well in the past - they''d start fighting as soon as they met."


    Yang Rongjun continued the banter seamlessly: "Too right! I''ve seen it happen live!"


    Guan Liangzhe: "Haha! I''ve witnessed it backstage too..."


    The two chatted casually, defusing any grievance through gossip.


    Next, the winner was announced!


    Threerge words quickly lit up on the big screen—


    Nan Xiangwan!


    The winning song was Wastnd!


    After all, with the arrangement by the Heavenly King, Wastnd was gilded in a way. In some respects it had an advantage over If The Gods Would Favor.


    But after today, Nan Xiangwan would be her own gilder.


    Her futurepositions would seed with nominations and wins without needing anyone else''s help.


    As the opening bars of Wastnd sounded, the audience below started pping - some reluctantly, some resentfully, and some with genuine congrattions.


    Nan Xiangwan went on stage for the third consecutive time, already familiar with the route - she dashed up effortlessly in just a few steps.


    Yang Rongjun and Guan Liangzhe were also practiced, passing her the trophy smoothly.


    Nan Xiangwan bowed briefly and exited.


    She really had nothing much to say - she wasn''t about to embarrass herself.


    The staff member came over for the third time to take her trophy for engraving.


    On stage, Yang Rongjun and Guan Liangzhe had already swiftly moved on to the next award.


    Yang Rongjun: "Don''t run off, Nan Xiangwan - you''ll have toe back!"


    Guan Liangzhe announced: "Best Group! Congrattions to Destiny Girls!"


    The audience below burst intoughter, pping andughing together.


    Photos of the five nominated groups shed by rapidly, finally settling on Destiny Girls!


    Below, Zhu Sha and the others excitedly jumped up, hugged each other, then rushed forward.


    Best Album and Best Group!


    Destiny Girls was exploding this year!


    At this point, Nan Xiangwan had one foot on the stairs and one still on the stage. She paused nkly and looked back over her shoulder.


    What the heck, she hadn''t even properly gotten off stage yet, and now had to go back up?


    Destiny Girls'' six members rushed up and pulled her back on stage.


    ept the award! ept it!


    The four members of F4ever in the front row had extremely miserable expressions - highly embarrassed and upset.


    Wastnd again?


    How many awards had this song won!


    The four pped reluctantly, each face more unhappy than thest, and incredibly resentful inside.


    It was just a song arranged by the Heavenly King!


    Without that arrangement, who knows who would have won instead!


    Just like how Nan Xiangwanposed both If The Gods Would Favor and Wastnd, but the Best Composer award ultimately went to Wastnd - what did that suggest?


    It showed the huge influence of the Heavenly King!


    Others were also discontented, all fixated on the idea that Destiny Girls and Nan Xiangwan only seeded thanks to the Heavenly King''s help.


    On stage it was celebratory chaos, while in the audience hearts were conflicted.


    After the award, Zhu Sha led her teammates down.


    Nan Xiangwan was held back by Yang Rongjun, "Wait, I can see you''re tired from all the running."


    Just then, the big screen lit up with the five nominees for Best Female Singer.


    If The Gods Would Favor was among them!


    No Wastnd this time.


    Guan Liangzhe was already smiling, "Best Female Singer! Let''s congratte—Nan Xiangwan!"


    A stir!


    The opening notes of If The Gods Would Favor resounded, the ancient-styled prelude reverberating powerfully through the venue.


    The previously discontented people gaped in shock at Nan Xiangwan on stage.


    When had that red dress be so tall and unattainable?


    Destiny Girls hadn''t even fully sat down yet when they heard the music. They happily looked back, cheering loudly in formal gowns while bouncing up and down.


    Go Nan Xiangwan!


    In the central seats, Gu Beihuai calmly pped, smiling.


    Earlier, Zhao Tiancheng had suggested submitting Wastnd for Nan Xiangwan to try for Best Female Singer, iming that the gilding from the Heavenly King''s arrangement might allow her to win it. But Gu Beihuai had rejected the idea.


    With Wastnd already nominated for and winning Best Group and Best Album, did it need Best Female Singer too?


    Nan Xiangwan didn''t require any covert maneuvers or edge balls - her ownprehensive artistry was more than enough.


    Gu Beihuai felt proud - look at this amazing girl!


    Nominated five times, she had won every category!
