Chapter 171: Su Meng Can't Hold It Back, Your Assistant Will Help Him Solve It!

In the theater, the audience members rose one by one and headed for the exits.

As they walked, they chattered excitedly.

"Today's show was truly worth every penny!"

Just then, Grandpa Yu strode onto the stage, tapped the microphone, and said.

"Everyone, everyone, sorry to interrupt."

Oh? Does the crosstalk industry have Easter eggs these days?

Everyone turned their heads, looking over with keen interest.

Grandpa Yu clasped his hands in a bow, his face beaming with joy.

"Here's the thing: we have some happy news today."

"We will hold a simple disciple-taking ceremony shortly."

"If you aren't in a rush to go home, why not stay and bear witness?"

Oh? A disciple-taking ceremony?

The audience immediately grew excited.

After all, this was quite rare.

Someone shouted loudly.

"Grandpa Yu, are you taking a disciple, or is Teacher Guo?"

Grandpa Yu shook his head and chuckled.

"Neither. Today, my Master, Mr. Shi Fukuan, is taking a new disciple."

"In other words, this will be my junior brother!"

What? A stir immediately erupted in the crowd.

Mr. Shi Fukuan is taking a disciple?

Hasn't the old master not appeared for a long time?

We heard his health was poor, that he suffered from a serious illness, and that his days were numbered.

At this critical moment, why take a disciple?

Immediately, everyone's curiosity surged, and they all sat down again.

On the stage, a chair had already been set up.

Everyone from Deyun Society came onto the stage and gathered behind to bear witness.

Guo Dagang personally acted as the master of ceremonies, stepped onto the stage, and shouted loudly.

"The disciple-taking ceremony for Mr. Shi Fukuan begins now!"

"Please invite the Master to take his seat!"

With Grandpa Yu's support, Mr. Shi Fukuan sat down on the chair, trembling.

Seeing the old master truly appear, the audience below erupted in applause.

Guo Dagang clasped his hands in a bow and explained to the audience below.

"According to the rules of our crosstalk profession, a disciple should have three masters: the introducing master, the guaranteeing master, and the acting master."

"But today is a special case; following the old master's wish, everything will be simplified. Please forgive us."

Having finished speaking, he shouted loudly again.

"Please invite today's disciple, Su Meng, to come onto the stage!"

26 Su Meng? The audience below instantly exploded into chaos.

The one taking the oath of discipleship today is actually Su Meng? Su Meng is actually going to take Mr. Shi Fukuan as his master?

Su Meng wore a long gown, his face unusually serious.

Guo Dagang continued shouting.

"The disciple bows three times to perform the disciple-taking ceremony~~~"

"First bow: to thank the Master for his nurturing grace."

"Second bow: to wish the Master good health."

"Third bow: to carry forward the art of crosstalk in the future!"

Following his words, Su Meng bowed three times to the old master with utmost respect.

Guo Dagang continued shouting.

"Next, the master and disciple exchange gifts!"

The old master trembled as he picked up a pair of clappers, stroked them for a long while, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

He then solemnly handed the clappers to Su Meng and said earnestly.

"These clappers were left behind by my Master, Mr. Gao Fengshan."
