Huo Wen’an was quick on the uptake, and really called out "uncle." "I’ve called you uncle, so you have to give us a sixty-six percent discount."

Boss Qin felt heartbroken, "Kid, no wonder you’re brothers with that sly Ye Mingluo. One call of uncle for a sixty-six percent discount? My shop will go bankrupt at this rate."

Boss Qin glanced at Xu Xingguang beside Huo Wen’an and said with admiration in his eyes, "Considering how beautiful your girlfriend is, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount if you really fancy one of my pianos later."

Just as Huo Wen’an was about to explain, Xu Xingguang suddenly called out sweetly to Boss Qin, "Uncle. Call you uncle twice, and you’ll give us a twenty-five percent discount, right?"

Boss Qin: "..."

"Hahaha, alright alright, twenty-five percent off it is. A fine piano for a beauty; all the good ones are inside. You two, follow me and take a look inside."

Boss Qin led the way in front.

Huo Wen’an walked shoulder to shoulder with Xu Xingguang behind him. He lowered his head several times to sneak a glance at Xu Xingguang, but seeing her calm demeanor, he felt he was overreacting.

A piano seller may not understand pianos, but they can certainly tell who has money.

Boss Qin instantly recognized the seemingly low-key smoky gray trench coat Huo Wen’an wore as a purely handmade high-end custom piece. Without any brand logo, it didn’t mean it wasn’t expensive.

The python-patterned ancient ring on his left thumb clearly wasn’t a fake, but Boss Qin dared not even estimate its true value.

Anyone who could be friends with Ye Mingluo, even if they lived in that small corner of Cangshan Town, mustn’t be underestimated.

Under the principle of not selling cheaply if it can be sold expensively, Boss Qin enthusiastically recommended international expensive famous pianos to Huo Wen’an.

But no matter how hard Boss Qin tried to glorify them, Huo Wen’an’s expression remained unfathomable.

After Boss Qin’s introduction left him parched, Huo Wen’an finally turned to Xu Xingguang and said, "Miss Xu, why don’t you try it yourself."

Skipping over the famous pianos Boss Qin introduced, Xu Xingguang pointed directly at the blazing red piano by the window. "Is that piano for sale?"

Upon seeing the piano Xu Xingguang pointed at, Boss Qin showed an awkward expression and said, "That piano counts as a non-sale item because it’s not one of our store’s pianos. Its owner left it here, saying that if someone resonates with it, they can give it directly to the right person."

"Oh?" Xu Xingguang curiously asked, "Who’s the owner of this piano?"

Huo Wen’an also showed curiosity.

"It’s Master Kaley."

Teacher Kali is a globally renowned piano master, and also Xiahou Huai Gui’s teacher, a highly talented and gifted piano prodigy.

He made his name worldwide at the age of 12, and every piano album he released was recognized and pursued by music enthusiasts.

"It’s called Jian Jia, but its true owner is not Teacher Kali, but the favorite piano of Master Li Yazi, Teacher Kali’s lover. Master Li Yazi passed away from illness, and Jian Jia inexplicably lost its sound color, and hasn’t been played since."

"Master Kali, deeply nostalgic, left the piano at our store. It’s been 14 years now." Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang was stunned. She said, "Master Li Yazi? Wasn’t that Teacher Kali’s teacher?"

"Yes. Master Kaley was Li Yazi’s disciple, 16 years younger than her, yet they were also lovers."

If Master Kaley was considered an ageless superstar in the piano world, then Master Li Yazi would be the stalwart, once named the top of the five modern piano masters.

"Why did Jian Jia lose its sound color so suddenly?" Huo Wen’an felt it was a bit mystical.

Boss Qin was also puzzled and said, "No idea, it’s very bizarre. Jian Jia has been stored at our shop for 14 years, and no one has managed to use it regularly yet. Hence, I say it’s waiting for the appearance of someone with an affinity."

Upon learning Jian Jia was broken, Huo Wen’an felt some regret. He could see Xu Xingguang really liked this piano.

Just as Huo Wen’an was about to suggest Xu Xingguang look at others, she said, "That’s because it has acquired a Piano Spirit."

Boss Qin: "Ah?"

What’s a Piano Spirit?

Xu Xingguang explained, "A very small number of instruments that are cared for with devotion can feel the emotions of their owner and resonate with them. This spiritual resonance is called a Piano Spirit. When the owner passes away, unless someone connects with them spiritually, they will block themselves."

The piano that once accompanied Xu Xingguang to the world’s largest stage had acquired a Piano Spirit.

Upon hearing this, Boss Qin found it incredible.

He said, "Is there really such a thing? But, when Master Kaley sent Jian Jia over, he firmly believed it wasn’t broken but was waiting for someone with an affinity to appear. Miss Xu’s opinion indeed echoes Master Kaley’s view."

Boss Qin asked Xu Xingguang, "Miss Xu, would you like to try?"

But Boss Qin didn’t truly believe Xu Xingguang could cause Jian Jia to resonate.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try."
