"Qi Maocai of Mo Xiang House admitted his defeat to Zhang Jicheng of Ya Garden, saying that he was utterly convinced..."
According to the predetermined agreement, Qi Maocai had to shout this a hundred times, which he indeed did.
Many who came later did not know why and stared at him in utter bewilderment, as if they were looking at a fool.
Only after asking around did these people learn the whole story.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that young man's appraisal skills are actually so formidable?"
"Of course, have you seen who his master is? That's none other than Elder Zhang Jicheng."
"Well, that explains it, a truly great teacher produces a great student indeed."
"It looks like Ya Garden is going to thrive following this."
"But Mo Xiang House has probably taken quite the hit this time, especially Qi Maocai, who truly lost face."
"That old fellow's skin is thick enough, if it were me, I would just bash my head in and be done with it..."
