Chapter 949: Chapter 949: Lin Feng Really Knows How!

At this moment, the old man also noticed Lin Feng standing under this ancient qin, watching intently.

He was slightly surprised in his heart.

Could it be that someone can still recognize this qin today??

However, the old man immediately shook his head. Lin Feng looks so young, it’s impossible for him to recognize this ancient qin!

The old man was confident. Unless it’s those few old men, there are probably only a few people under this sky who can recognize this "Lv Qi" ancient qin!

Lin Feng snapped back to reality and spoke to the old man.

"Boss, can you take down this qin for me to have a look?"

"Hmm??"

"Sorry, young man, this qin is not for sale!"

The old man refused!

"What a pity..."

Lin Feng said softly.

The old man’s refusal proved that he also knew the value of this ancient qin. Since the old man disagreed, Lin Feng couldn’t forcefully ask him to let him see it.

The old man saw Lin Feng shaking his head, saying it’s a pity.

Curious in his heart, could it be that this young fellow really recognized this qin?

He opened his mouth with some curiosity.

"Young man, do you know this ancient qin?"

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded and said no more!

The old man grew even more curious upon seeing this!

Impossible, Lin Feng looks so young; it’s impossible for him to know. Unless he has profound research into ancient musical instruments!

But at Lin Feng’s age, he doesn’t quite seem like that kind of person...

Although Lin Feng regretted not being able to personally experience the charm of that "Lv Qi" ancient qin, he felt a bit of pity.

But he didn’t dwell on it much; he turned and walked over to the side of the earlier qin.

He spoke to the old man.

"Old man, how much is this qin? I’ll take it!"

Uh...

The old man saw Lin Feng really intended to buy the qin, so he opened his mouth to speak.

"Fifty thousand!"

"Alright, can I pay by card?"

Lin Feng answered without hesitation.

Uh...

Not even bargaining?

Even though I didn’t report too much...

The old man was a bit speechless in his heart...

He then looked at Lin Feng and asked seriously.

"Young man, are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Yes, I’ll take this qin!"

Lin Feng pulled out his bank card and handed it to the old man, saying casually.

The old man had no choice but to take the bank card and begin the transaction.

At this moment, Lin Feng occasionally glanced over at that "Lv Qi" ancient qin.

After the old man completed the transaction, he noticed Lin Feng still watching that "Lv Qi" ancient qin.

Suddenly moved in his heart, he spoke.

"Young man, it seems you’re also a person who understands qin."

"That ancient qin is a family heirloom of mine and also the store’s prized possession. Although it’s not for sale, if you really like it, I can still lend it to you for a look."

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this and he said happily.

"Hmm?"

"Really?"

"Yes."

The old man smiled and, with great care, took down the "Lv Qi" ancient qin from the wall.

Then he carefully placed it on the counter.

Lin Feng quickly went forward to admire it.

He wanted to try and touch it, but felt a bit embarrassed.

The old man saw Lin Feng’s demeanor and, smiling, said.

"Young man, if you want to try it, do give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was delighted, but then shook his head.

He spoke softly.

"Boss, better not. I’m afraid I’ll damage this Lv Qi; I can’t afford it!"

"What?!!"

The old man’s voice suddenly rose several octaves, expressing surprise!

"What?!!"

The old man’s voice rose several octaves, expressing surprise!

He stared closely at Lin Feng.

Uh...

Lin Feng felt a bit uneasy under the old man’s gaze and awkwardly spoke.

"Old man, what’s wrong?"

Feeling awkward, Lin Feng’s form of address changed.

The old man grasped Lin Feng’s hand, and excitedly asked.

"What did you just say this ancient qin’s name was?!"

"Uh..."

Lin Feng awkwardly withdrew his hand from the old man’s grasp.

His eyes looked at the old man with a hint of oddness, perhaps the old man wanted to fence?!

Lin Feng involuntarily shivered a bit.

He quickly shook his head, dispelling those distracting thoughts.

He spoke casually to the old man.

"Lv Qi, I said the name of this ancient qin is Lv Qi..."

The old man was dumbfounded upon hearing this, never expecting Lin Feng truly recognized it.

This qin has been hanging here for decades, and apart from those few old fellows, no one has been able to recognize it.

Today Lin Feng directly recognized it, and seemingly was very familiar with it, yet at Lin Feng’s age...

The old man found it hard to believe!

Then the old man feeling both nervous and expectant, looked at Lin Feng and softly asked.

"Since you recognize this qin, would you be able to play the piece ’Phoenix Seeking Mate’ that corresponds with this ancient qin?"

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded.

He understood the old man’s implication. The ’Phoenix Seeking Mate’ here isn’t the modern version that people refer to, but the one Sima Xiangru supposedly played for Zhuo Wenjun!

One time, Sima Xiangru visited a friend, and the wealthy Zhuo Wang Sun hosted a banquet in his honor.

During the lively feast, the crowd said, "We’ve heard your ’Lv Qi’ is played excellently, please perform a piece so we can feast our ears."

Sima Xiangru had long heard that Zhuo Wang Sun’s daughter, Wenjun, was talented, proficient in the qin, and admired him greatly.

Sima Xiangru then played the qin song ’Phoenix Seeking Mate’ to court her.

After hearing the qin, Wenjun understood the song’s meaning, and blushed with excitement, her heart captivated.

She was enamored with Xiangru’s talent and to reward the "meeting of kindred spirits," she stole away to Xiangru’s residence at night and pledged her love.

From then on, Sima Xiangru’s pursuit of Wenjun through qin became an eternal tale.

Sima Xiangru’s version of ’Phoenix Seeking Mate’ is worlds apart from the so-called modern version!

Upon Lin Feng’s affirmation.

The old man was instantly stunned!

He had asked casually, without much hope or expectation, and never imagined Lin Feng truly could!

Not daring to believe, he asked again.

"Young man, are you sure you can do this? You understand what I mean, right?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded again.

He naturally understood the old man’s implication, and indeed he could!

Receiving Lin Feng’s affirmative response, the old man was elated.

"Then, might you be able to play a tune now?"

"Uh..."

Lin Feng thought about needing to visit the clothing store later, and since it was getting late, he feared the store might close.

Besides, the current setting wasn’t quite suitable for playing.

He spoke softly to the old man.

"Old man, I have errands later, and now this setting isn’t quite suitable for playing. However, I can play a snippet for you to listen to."

The old man took a look, acknowledging the current setting indeed wasn’t quite suitable for playing.

Though feeling somewhat regretful, he still nodded.

Lin Feng’s mind then recalled the method of playing that piece ’Phoenix Seeking Mate’ and began to play casually.

"Ding dong..."

A sound like flowing mountains and rivers resonated throughout the shop.

The sound was crisp and melodious, instantly enchanting everyone present...
