Pei Guanli walked over and took Yuan Liu'er's hand, casually slapping Ma Liangcai as she did so. "Step back a little. You were cowering earlier, so why are you stepping up now?"
Taking the slap, Ma Liangcai swallowed the words that had reached the tip of his tongue. He smiled bitterly. "You are right to scold me, Senior."
He then looked at Yuan Liu'er and instructed her, "Since your martial grand-aunt has spoken, just do your best. It would be best if you win, but if you accidentally lose..."
Thinking of Chen Yi, Ma Liangcai stood a little taller. "Your grandmaster is here, so it doesn't matter."
