Upon seeing her, the old man chuckled before Gu Xia could even speak.
"Little girl, I apologize for the offense earlier, it was just an act."
"It's okay, I won't mind."

If he were just a rural herbal tea shopkeeper, he wouldn't have such a strong aura of killing intent. Obviously, he is not an ordinary person, but you insisted on playing out a scam involving an innocent young girl, so I had to play along... Of course, I do look like an innocent young girl, don't I?"
