Jiang Cheng sits back and watches Huaisang do his thing. It turns out to be so impressive to see in action, that he's far less upset about the ending total than he would've in any other circumstance. The petite man parries and thrusts with his words with every bit of skill Wanyin would've seen on a battle field. It's done so well, he even has to wonder if Huaisang hadn't done or said something to poke a nerve of his just to get the show started.

Once the pretty bird is satisfied, so is he. Well.. with the contract.

"Yes. As per agreement if you'll wait here I'll get a purse for you with the first payment so you can take with you. The rest will have to come after I send a request back to Lotus Pier. Is there anything else you require while you wait?"

Up until right now, he hasn't mentioned or indicated that he might not have the money directly on him- not that walking around with a large sum for no reason would make sense to someone not trying to simply show off that they can.

He rises from his seat and motions for Huaisang to follow him.
