Chapter 364 - The Treasure Gifted the Hero and the Treasure Was Accepted by Feng Ming
“Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Feng invites you!”
Initially, Soong Wan thought that after Feng Nichang's concert, she must be exhausted, which is why she was eager to leave early with Jiang Hao.
Despite his surprise, Jiang Hao accompanied Soong Wan backstage, curious about why Feng Nichang wanted to see them.
They arrived at the familiar room backstage.
This time, however, in addition to Feng Nichang and Aunt Hong, there was an unexpectedly spry old man present.
Upon seeing Jiang Hao and Soong Wan, Aunt Hong warmly greeted them with a smile.
“Mr. Jiang, Wan'er, welcome!”
Jiang Hao nodded in acknowledgment.
Then, his gaze shifted to the old man who had been excitedly eyeing him since his arrival.
“Surely this old man doesn't harbor any unsavory habits,” Jiang Hao wondered to himself.
Noticing Jiang Hao's puzzled look, Feng Nichang quickly clarified.
“Mr. Jiang, this esteemed gentleman is the renowned Guqin Master, Tan Yongning, Mr. Tan!”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao, unfamiliar with the name but ever polite, greeted him.
“Pleased to meet you, Mr. Tan!”
Feng Nichang then introduced Jiang Hao to the old man.
Tan Yongning greeted him with evident joy.
“Hello, Mr. Jiang!”
“Your performance earlier captivated me instantly, which is why I was so eager to make your acquaintance!”
“I must admit, I didn't expect someone as young as you to possess such exceptional zither skills!”
Following their mutual praises, Jiang Hao and Mr. Tan engaged in a discussion about their insights into the art of the zither.
Jiang Hao hadn't anticipated the old man's proficiency and found their conversation immensely enlightening.
Yet, it seemed Feng Nichang was the one who benefited the most from their exchange, as it illuminated her path forward.
Regrettably, Mr. Tan had other commitments. After exchanging business cards with Jiang Hao, he took his leave.
With Mr. Tan gone, Feng Nichang turned to Jiang Hao, a resolute look in her eyes.
She lifted a wooden case from the table and approached Jiang Hao.
“Mr. Jiang, your assistance today has been invaluable, and I am at a loss for how to repay you. This Phoenix Cry Zither is a family heirloom. Today, I would like to bestow it upon you as a token of my gratitude.”
“I hope you'll accept this favor, Mr. Jiang!”
Feng Nichang's gesture left Aunt Hong and Soong Wan utterly astonished.
Jiang Hao was equally taken aback. As a musician with level four zither skills, he had a keen understanding of the guqin's quality.
His expertise allowed him to recognize that Feng Nichang's guqin was extraordinary!
Indeed, it wouldn't be too much to call it a treasure!
After all, it's rare for a guqin to resonate with one's Spiritual Force.
And yet, Feng Nichang was willing to part with such a treasure for him?
Jiang Hao looked intently at Feng Nichang and asked earnestly.
“Miss Feng, you're aware of this zither's worth, aren't you? Do you truly intend to give it to me?”
Feng Nichang's resolve was clear in her response to Jiang Hao's question.
“A treasure befits a hero, and only Mr. Jiang is worthy of the ‘Phoenix's Cry.' I implore you to accept it, Mr. Jiang!”
With Feng Nichang's unwavering stance, Jiang Hao reflected for a moment before accepting the wooden case from her hands, then spoke with gravity.
“Very well, I will safeguard this zither for you temporarily. When you feel you've earned its companionship, feel free to reclaim it from me.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Nichang's face broke into a grateful smile.
“Many thanks to you, Mr. Jiang!”
Jiang Hao acknowledged her thanks with a nod.
