The lighting in the bar was quite dim, except for the stage, the others were under dark lights, mainly to protect the privacy of the guests.

Coupled with the partitions, most people could only hear Si Lingxi's voice and didn't see Si Lingxi's appearance.

Si Lingxi's cold voice, although quite pleasant, could easily remind people of an old woman jealous of a little girl.

Only the two tables closest could see Si Lingxi's appearance with a glance.

Long black and smooth hair, tall figure, clear cold phoenix eyes, luscious red lips, perfect beauty, portraying a high-cold femme fatale even when sitting.

A person like this, it's good enough if people don't envy her, she would never envy others!

So the guests at the two closest tables didn't echo, instead whispered among themselves.

"So beautiful!"

"What a stunner!"

"Maybe she truly feels it's bad."

"Don't jump to conclusions lightly."

The noise from below was loud, and the bar owner hurriedly got on stage to smooth things over.

"Sorry! Sorry! The young lady is performing for the first time today, maybe the choice of music isn't quite suitable for the vibe of the venue..."

"The young lady plays really well!"

"Boss, don't smooth things over, the young lady plays nicely, the song choice is fitting, and we enjoy listening to it."

"Really picky, if you want to hear a master's performance, go to the National Grand Theatre!"

It was then that a clear voice subdued many others, "Sorry, my girlfriend has high standards for classical music, maybe her words were blunt, but she meant no harm, please understand, we don't wish to argue."

Lu Zheng paused and continued, "Regarding the performance, if possible, I hope the boss can change the singer or band, even playing some light music is fine, sorry for the trouble."

"Being told you're fat and you still gasp?"

"High standards? Why don't you just fly?"

"What? Don't like Hua Country's classical music? Aren't you from Hua Country?"

Someone reminded, "It's high standards for Hua Country's classical music."

"That's double standards! Deep down, they are unsatisfied with Hua Country's classical music! It's a mental realm, do they understand the mental realm!"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

In this kind of situation, everyone has their beliefs. Generally, bar guests dissatisfied with music can request a change, but now the main issue is that other guests misunderstood Lu Zheng and others.

They thought Lu Zheng and others were nitpicking, deliberately causing trouble because they felt the zither piece was quite pleasant.

Lu Zheng could not let Si Lingxi feel wronged and just leave because it was unnecessary; strictly speaking, these guests weren't qualified for it either.

They came here to enjoy, not to endure grievances, let alone leaving after being annoyed?

Forcing the boss to change performers would certainly ignite these guests' sympathy and sense of justice, making emotions more confrontational.

It's unnecessary, after all, everyone isn't enemies, nor is there any core conflict.

In this situation, there's naturally a perfect solution.

"Where did I play poorly, I hope this guest can point it out, if it truly limits my ability, I'm willing to apologize and leave."

Then, the young lady sitting in front of the zither stood up and spoke.

As the center of the whirlpool, she certainly could not stay silent all the time. She couldn't let the boss be embarrassed; she definitely had to leave, but she wasn't convinced and wanted to hear what the nitpickers had to say before leaving.

The next moment, Lu Zheng stood up, leaving the seat while smiling at Si Lingxi, "It seems it's been a long time since I played a piece for you?"

Si Lingxi didn't care about the mortals' gazes and words. Upon hearing Lu Zheng speak, her eyes brightened, "Did you compose a new piece again?"

Phoenix eyes lightly arched, red lips slightly curved, causing the nearby tables' guests' hearts to flutter.

"It's an ancient guqin piece with only text left, its sheet music had long since been lost. I recomposed it, and today is a coincidence, you can listen to it."

"Great! What is it?"

"You'll know once you hear it!"

Their conversation was so oblivious to others that it almost angered bar guests.

Lu Zheng, exposed under the stage lights, although looking handsome, certainly didn't have the beauty's privilege.

Before anyone could speak, Lu Zheng smiled at the young lady in Hanfu, "Talk is cheap until you prove it, how about I try playing a piece?"

"Please!"

The young lady in Hanfu made a graceful step to let him pass, simultaneously making a gesture inviting Lu Zheng to take the stage.

Lu Zheng nodded and sat down, passing over all the strings of the zither, then slightly tuned five of the strings.

This professional scene made some impatient guests swallow their words again.

"By the way, my zither skill is actually far inferior to my girlfriend's."

As soon as the words fell, the zither sound began.

"Zheng—Zheng—Zheng—"

The zither's timbre was brighter and crisper than the Yaoqin, under Lu Zheng's hands, it sounded like a clear spring flowing, quickly unfolding a mental realm's painting, making one feel immersed in a forest and sky.

It's not about recognizing quality, but fearing comparison.

Some technical aspects are truly indistinguishable by ordinary people in general circumstances, but the premise is that both are not yet qualitatively distinguished.

Before Lu Zheng, these guests listened to the young lady in Hanfu's performance, thought it was decent, feeling not much different from those on video performing zither and guqin, hence thinking Lu Zheng and others were fooling around.

However, once Lu Zheng began playing, all the noisy sounds on site disappeared.

A short, beautiful melody rang out, its lightness, joy, and affection felt by everyone.

Then, a clear, music-flitting, unobtrusively joined light singing began softly across the bar.

"A beautiful person indeed, unforgettable on sight.

A day unseen, I think madly of you.

Phoenix flies freely, seeking love over four seas.

Sigh, beloved not at the east wall..."

"Wow, 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix'!"

"Shh!"

In a moment of chaos, the bar instantly regained tranquility, even quieter than before.

Lu Zheng played and sang 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix', like a beautiful touching story, narrated gently, full of tenderness and love.

Everyone seemingly saw a phoenix venturing across the seas, expressing love, while the other phoenix was afar, softly showcased endless beauty of the world.

With the song's completion, lingering notes floated.

As everyone was about to breathe a long sigh, a long sound rang out.

"Wu——"

Looking over, they saw a woman standing at the previous center of attention, holding a Jade Flute, blowing a note.

"Wu——"

"Zheng—Zheng—Zheng—"

Next moment, the zither sound resumed, clearly in harmony with the flute tone.

Jade Flute leading, zither assisting, the tune still 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix', but the mental realm changed to Divine Phoenix actively approaching Divine Phoenix, the two intertwining intimately, roaming the world inseparable.

"Wow?"

"What did I just hear?"

"What do I do if my ears are pregnant!"
