Qi Qingyao was truly in no mood to laugh. Who knew what the man came here for? She introduced Li Qing to Ma Sanye with a fake smile, "Village Chief, this is Li Qing, the Heir's personal guard."

Ma Sanye bowed in deference.

Li Qing greeted Ma Sanye casually. 

Qi Qingyao asked, "Why are you here?"
