Chapter 294

"Yi Feng, this is Meng Lixian," Huang Wujing introduced.

"Hello," Yi Feng greeted with a fist gesture.

"Hello," the beautiful woman in a long dress smiled, but there was a hint of meaningful color at the corner of her mouth.

"This is Yin Shengfu," Huang Wujing introduced the gray-clothed old man to Yi Feng.

"I've met Brother Yin before," Yi Feng greeted again with a fist gesture.

But Yin Shengfu ignored Yi Feng and instead sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest.

Yi Feng stood awkwardly in place, furrowing his brows.

"You..." Huang Wujing felt uneasy and angrily glared at Yin Shengfu, but the latter completely ignored him.

"Yi Feng, don't mind him, let's drink," Huang Wujing quickly reassured, fearing that Yi Feng would get angry.

Yi Feng nodded, not taking it to heart.

"Come, let's drink," Huang Wujing raised his cup and said.

"Cheers," Yi Feng and Meng Lixian raised their cups as well.

After finishing a cup, Meng Lixian gently put down her cup and looked meaningfully at Yi Feng, saying, "Yi Feng, you don't know, just now Huang Wujing was praising you to the heavens, saying this and that about you..."

"So, I suppose you must... be very talented, right?" she asked, filled with inquiry.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Huang Wujing's expression darkened instantly.

He instantly heard the hidden meaning in Meng Lixian's words and glared at her.

But Meng Lixian paid no attention and continued to gaze at Yi Feng with her piercing eyes, full of questioning.

"That was just Huang Brother exaggerating, what talents could I have? I'm just an ordinary person!" Yi Feng smiled and said.

"An ordinary person?" Meng Lixian raised an interesting corner of her mouth and asked again, "Even if you're an ordinary person, you must still have some talents, right?"

"Meng Lixian, that's enough!" Huang Wujing finally couldn't bear it and forcefully put down his cup.

"What are you in a hurry for, Huang Wujing? I'm just having a casual chat with your brother here," Meng Lixian scolded Huang Wujing back, then turned to Yi Feng with a smiling face and asked leisurely, "So, Yi Brother, do you agree with what I said?"

"You're right," Yi Feng smiled, but his expression also became meaningful.

"So, Yi Feng, what talents do you have exactly?" Meng Lixian asked.

"I do have quite a few, indeed," Yi Feng said.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

Both pretending to be ordinary people, but the disparity between the two was evident everywhere. Yi Feng was the epitome of returning to simplicity and authenticity.

"Oh, bro, there's actually a guqin here. Can I play it?"

After having a couple more drinks with Huang Wujing, Yi Feng noticed a guqin placed on the side, and he asked excitedly.

"Oh, so you know how to play the guqin, bro?"

Huang Wujing asked in astonishment.

"Just a little."

Yi Feng smiled.

"This guqin is usually played by the young lady. If you're interested, feel free to use it," Huang Wujing said.

"Great, then I'll give it a try."

Unable to resist the urge, Yi Feng put down his wine cup and stood up.

To be honest, at this moment, he was really itching to play. Drinking wine, talking nonsense, and adding some music to the mix—it was truly a great pleasure in life!

Yi Feng sat in front of the guqin, and his slender hands gently landed on the strings...

Outside the courtyard,

Meng Lixian's anger remained unresolved.

She couldn't understand why Huang Wujing would treat her with such impatience and scold her because of someone else.

She could understand if this person truly possessed extraordinary abilities, but he was just an ordinary person...

And even when she said she was leaving, he didn't bother to come after her.

Could this ordinary person be more important to him than she was?

In that moment,

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Fine, Huang Wujing, I won't come looking for you anymore."

Seeing that Huang Wujing in the inner courtyard didn't care about her at all, she stamped her foot in anger and left.

Just then, the sound of the guqin drifted out from the inner courtyard...
