The news that Xiao Qingfeng will hold a concert at Phoenix Nest on National Day spread like wildfire on the internet, causing a huge sensation.

Netizens across the country went into a frenzy of celebration, with fans spreading the news on various social media platforms, their excitement beyond words.

"I'm so excited! Qingfeng is finally going to have a concert, and it's at the Phoenix Nest!"

"I have something to look forward to for National Day, I must go to the scene to support Qingfeng."

Mainstream media outlets also reported on the news, with entertainment news channels launching special reports detailing Xiao Qingfeng's musical achievements and the preparations for the concert.

Major music magazines also published commentaries praising Xiao Qingfeng's courage and talent, while also expressing their high expectations for the concert.

Some general news media also reported on this as an important cultural and entertainment event, attracting the attention of more non-fan groups.

Professional singers have different attitudes toward this matter. Some young singers admire Xiao Qingfeng and believe that his courage and strength are worth learning from.

"It's really impressive that Xiao Qingfeng was able to hold a concert at the Phoenix Nest. This is the direction we should strive for."

Some veteran singers, however, remained cautious. While acknowledging Xiao Qingfeng's talent, they were also concerned about the challenges he would face in holding his first concert in such a large venue.

However, some people questioned Xiao Qingfeng's choice, believing that holding his first concert in a venue like the Bird's Nest, which can accommodate 120,000 people, was somewhat risky.

"With such a large venue, the pressure must be immense. If the attendance rate is low, the situation will be very awkward."

"Although Xiao Qingfeng is very capable, choosing such a large venue for his first time is indeed quite risky."

However, these doubts were quickly drowned out by the enthusiasm of the fans, who firmly believed in Xiao Qingfeng's charm and strength and were convinced that the concert would be a huge success.

They responded to the doubters online: "Qingfeng's strength is beyond doubt, he will definitely be able to fill the Phoenix Nest!"

"We will support Qingfeng with our actions and shut up those who have doubts."

......

Time has quietly passed to the fifteenth of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival!

The Kyoto Peach Garden Poetry Competition has officially commenced, and the venue for this competition is the Peach Garden, one of the four famous gardens of the Kyoto Academy of Literature.

This place is quaint and full of rich cultural atmosphere.

At the entrance to the Peach Garden, two huge red lanterns hang, with the words "Kyoto Peach Garden Poetry Competition" written in gold lettering on them, shining brightly under the lights.

The venue was decorated in a classical and elegant style, with a spacious stage in the center and a huge landscape painting as the backdrop. The painting depicted majestic mountains, rushing rivers and flying birds, symbolizing the vast artistic conception of poetry.

Antique-style screens, carved with exquisite poems and patterns, were placed on both sides of the stage.

In front of the stage were rows of neat seats, each with a red cushion, giving a solemn yet festive feeling.

This poetry competition invited many cultural figures, scholars, and poetry enthusiasts to participate.

Among them were renowned writers, historians, and poets. They were dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, such as long robes and mandarin jackets, or cheongsams and Hanfu, adding a rich cultural atmosphere to the venue.

In addition, there were media reporters from all over the country who set up cameras and video cameras, ready to broadcast the entire event live.

When Xiao Qingfeng arrived at Peach Blossom Garden, Wen Yanbo, one of the organizers, personally came out to greet him.

Wen Yanbo, dressed in a long blue robe, possessed a refined and scholarly air. Upon seeing Xiao Qingfeng, he greeted him with a warm smile and strode forward.

He cupped his hands and said, "Young friend Qingfeng, welcome to this poetry competition. Your presence makes this event even more wonderful."

Xiao Qingfeng smiled and replied, "Professor Wen, we meet again. I am deeply honored to participate in this poetry competition."

Led by Wen Yanbo, Xiao Qingfeng entered the venue.

At this moment, the venue was packed, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Qingfeng.

Xiao Qingfeng was dressed in a plain Tang suit, looking handsome and dashing.

His appearance caused a small commotion at the scene.

The audience members whispered amongst themselves, filled with curiosity and anticipation for this highly anticipated singer.

Media reporters also quickly sprang into action, all pointing their cameras at Xiao Qingfeng.

The flashbulbs kept going off, capturing this amazing moment.

Accompanied by Wen Yanbo, Xiao Qingfeng took his seat in the guest section in front of the stage.

He looked around, feeling the rich cultural atmosphere of the venue, and his heart was filled with emotion.

The theme of this poetry competition is "Inheriting the culture of poetry and promoting the beauty of Chinese culture".

Under the influence of this theme, the entire venue was filled with poetry and cultural atmosphere.

On stage, the host, dressed in Hanfu, used elegant language to introduce the purpose and significance of this poetry competition.

The host's voice was clear and melodious, like heavenly music, which was refreshing and delightful.

Jing Boran, as one of the organizers of this poetry competition and the vice president of the Kyoto Literary Society, steadily stepped onto the center stage.

He was dressed in a deep purple robe, exuding a calm and reserved demeanor.

Jing Boran cleared his throat slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping across the entire room, and said, "Today, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, we gather in this elegant Peach Blossom Garden to celebrate this grand poetry event. Poetry is a treasure of Chinese culture, carrying thousands of years of wisdom and emotion."

"Here, I hope that everyone can use poetry as a medium to inherit culture and promote the beauty of Chinese culture. Now, I propose that, with this beautiful peach garden as the setting, we invite all the masters of classical poetry and prose to write a 'Preface to the Peach Garden' to open a wonderful prelude to this poetry competition."

As soon as Jing Boran finished speaking, the many famous figures in poetry and culture present began to whisper among themselves.

They had already received word that Jing Boran had definitely intended to have his apprentice, Lü Qing, write the preface.

So they all declined, saying they weren't prepared, but Jing Boran, to show his sincerity and thoroughness, asked them one by one.

But none of them dared to steal the limelight from his apprentice, so they all politely declined.

When he stood before Xiao Qingfeng, the disgust and disdain in Jing Boran's eyes were fleeting.

If the person in front of him hadn't been invited by Wen Yanbo, he wouldn't have bothered to even glance at him.

In his view, a singer participating in the poetry competition was an insult to their poetry association.

But since the person was invited by Wen Yanbo, he couldn't go too far.

So Fang Ke said without hesitation, "Mr. Xiao, I have long heard Brother Yanbo praise your literary talent and your understanding of classical culture. Why don't you write the 'Preface to the Peach Blossom Garden' tonight?"

All eyes on Xiao Qingfeng instantly focused like spotlights.

Some discerning people could tell that Jing Boran was deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Qingfeng and trying to embarrass him.

Many people who already looked down on Xiao Qingfeng were now all watching the show with amusement, their lips slightly upturned and their eyes full of mockery, just waiting to see how Xiao Qingfeng would make a fool of himself, to satisfy their inexplicable sense of superiority.

At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng's fans in the live broadcast room saw this scene and began to speak up for Xiao Qingfeng.

"This is too much! They're clearly making things difficult for Aomine-sama on purpose."

"Qingfeng isn't afraid at all; he'll definitely be able to write amazing articles."

"How can these people be like this? Just because Qingfeng is a singer, they look down on him."

The barrage of comments surged like a tide, with everyone holding their breath for Xiao Qingfeng.

Upon seeing this, Wen Yanbo felt a pang of anxiety. He knew that Jing Boran's actions were inappropriate and was about to step forward to help Xiao Qingfeng out of the predicament.

However, just as he took a step, he heard Xiao Qingfeng say:

"Since Vice President Jing has extended such a warm invitation, I will gladly accept!"
