His voice carried a curiosity he could not hide:
"I think everyone might need some time to calm their own emotions, so let me ask a question that perhaps everyone is most curious about—what is the gender of Teacher Prince of Lanling?"
"Guess."
Lin Yuan answered in a male voice, but because of the voice changer and the just-concluded performance, no one could be certain of Prince of Lanling's true gender.
Smiling helplessly, An Hong remarked:
"You guess whether I can guess or not. It seems we need to seek the guidance of our four professional judges, Teacher Mao Xuewang!"
"..."
Mao Xuewang didn't utter a word.
Unable to resist, An Hong called out again: "Teacher Mao Xuewang?"
"I apologize..."
Mao Xuewang finally snapped out of his reverie: "I was considering your previous question, whether Prince of Lanling is a man or a woman. The result is, I don't know either."
"A singer who can sing both male and female voices is rare, but not extremely so."
Judge Liu Xu spoke.
