Chapter 546: God-Tier Live Performance: The Not-So-Serious

"Also… is this Henan Opera segment of yours… legit?"

The moment those words left his mouth, the entire livestream fell deathly silent.

Su Meng was a little embarrassed too — wait, is my credibility really that unreliable now?

Still, since they were his own backing band, Su Meng naturally needed to coordinate a bit.

"Relax, this one's definitely legit — just a standard traditional Henan Opera excerpt…"

It would've been better if he hadn't said that. The moment "traditional Henan Opera" was mentioned, the first thing everyone thought of was…

Traditional crosstalk "Three Heroes Battle Kakashi," traditional Peking Opera "The Santang Society Trial of Galileo"…

Damn it, you call this stuff traditional?

And now you're doing traditional Henan Opera?

Bai Xiao Ling said nothing, just blinked her big eyes as she looked at Su Meng.

Su Meng rubbed his nose and said helplessly.

"You've heard of 'Juan Xi Tong,' right? That's a classic piece in Henan Opera."

"'Xiao Cang Wa I Left Dengfeng County' — that aria's not unfamiliar, is it? I'm planning to sing that one in a bit."

Hearing him say that, many people finally set their minds at ease.

He'd already named the aria — surely he wouldn't pull any more tricks, right?

Wang Laowu froze, then unconsciously hummed a few lines.

"Little Cang Wa, I left Dengfeng County, suffering hunger and hardship all along the way."

"The two escorts are like Ox-Head and Horse-Face — the moment they speak to me, they turn their faces~~~"

"Master Su, you're planning to sing this aria, right?"

"That's right!" Su Meng nodded.

Seeing that look on his face, countless people in the livestream finally let out a long sigh of relief.

This aria actually seems legit? Looks like Su Meng has finally changed his ways.

Quite a few people hurried off to search for this aria to do some preview homework first.

Among all the relaxed crowd, only Bai Xiao Ling remained unmoved, just staring intently at Su Meng.

"Teacher Su, we'll be backing you in a bit."

"If you have any ideas, you'd better tell us in advance, so we can be mentally prepared."

"Otherwise, if even the backing band can't hold it together, then that would be…"

Quite a few people looked at Bai Xiao Ling differently.

You were the one Su Meng built up with his own hands, and yet you don't trust him like this?

He already said he's singing a legit Henan Opera piece, and you still doubt him?

Wu Guangren saw this and hurriedly scolded.

"Xiao Ling, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Since Teacher Su asked you to back him, just back him properly!"

"Don't go thinking about all that nonsense!"

But Bai Xiao Ling was completely unmoved, just quietly watching Su Meng.

Seeing her gaze, Su Meng really couldn't take it anymore.

"Alright, alright, let me give you the bottom line."

"It's definitely still this aria, but the lyrics… I'm going to tweak them a bit…"

What the heck? The entire group 660 was dumbfounded.

Are you serious? You're changing the lyrics?

So you really weren't going to sing it honestly after all?!

Only at this point did Bai Xiao Ling finally nod and say seriously.

"Teacher Su, don't worry — leave the backing to me!"

With that, she led the Wang Family Band toward the hotel.

Su Meng let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"When a woman gets clever, a man has no secrets left…"

……

"Su Meng, are you scared?"

Andrew, seeing them whispering among themselves the whole time, jumped straight up.

Su Meng gave a disdainful flick of his lips.

Where is this inexplicable hostility coming from?

Wu Guangren just gave a cold snort and turned to say to Benedict.

"Mr. Benedict, Mr. Su has already agreed to sing one song."

"However, his team members need to prepare their instruments, which will take a few minutes."
