Yang Qing paused for a bit before he gave his reply. It was an intentional pause as he wanted to see whether Zhi Da's current smug expression would change and squirm a little bit.
While Zhi Da did manage to skillfully hide his emotions but for a seasoned judge such as Yang Qing it was easy for Yang Qing to read his nervousness. It even seemed like a couple of times Zhi Da wanted to speak but held himself back.
As for Zhi Luoran, she was eyeing the two of them alternating her glances between the two during their showdown as her eyes glittered as if enjoying a show.
The little dance between Yang Qing and Zhi Da was interrupted by the mild rumbling of a hungry stomach.
Eiiii!!!!
Zhi Luoran's embarrassed cry broke the stalemate as she yelped in shame burying her head in her palms with a reddened face.
"Fine, I agree to hire your services Zhi Da. I will be in your care from now on," said Yang Qing after he decided he had teased Zhi Da long enough and any more would just be cruel.
