I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

After hearing these words, Xu Guo, who already believed in Yan Xiu, became even more determined in what he thought.

"I'm going to tear down that couplet and burn it right now!"

As he said this, he suddenly stood up and was about to rush out the door, but Yan Xiu stopped him.

"The evil spirit in Madam Xu's body has been accumulating for a long time. If we remove the couplet hastily, it may aggravate her condition and make her unable to bear it, and she may die."

Yan Xiu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Xu Guo's head, instantly making him feel confused.

"Then what should I do? I beg Master Yan to give me some advice!"

As he spoke, Xu Guo, anxiously bent his legs, and knelt heavily in front of Yan Xiu with a "dong".

Seeing the deep love of this filial son, Yan Xiu would not stand idly by.

He took out a talisman from his arms and folded it into a triangle.

Runes are hidden on it, which contain mysteries.

"Let Madam Xu wear this item and keep it on her body for twelve hours a day. It can protect her from being disturbed by evil spirits."

As he spoke, Yan Xiu handed over the folded talisman.

Xu Guo took the talisman tremblingly, kowtowed heavily several times, and hurried into the inner room.

After hearing a rustling sound, Xu Guo walked out of the inner room.

"Now that my worries are over, it's time for me to take my leave."

Having said that, Yan Xiu stood up and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Xu Guo hurriedly followed.

"Master Yan saved my mother from danger. Xu Guo was deeply grateful and will remember it forever."

"If Master Yan needs anything in the future, I will go through fire and water to help him without hesitation!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Guo bowed deeply to Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu accepted it calmly, then left in a happy mood, leaving only one sentence lingering in Xu Guo's ears.

"Remember, you must not leave the things I give you, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

...

...

a few days later.

Yan Xiu hit the nail on the head about something.

The son of Zhang Fuyin of Lingchuan Prefecture was found dead and his body was left exposed in the wilderness.

When Prefect Zhang heard the news, he was furious.

He immediately ordered a city-wide curfew and launched an unprecedented large-scale manhunt, vowing to bring the murderer of his beloved son to justice.

For a moment, the entire Lingchuan Prefecture was in a state of panic, and every tree and grass looked like an enemy.

When Mrs. Zhang heard the news, she was struck by lightning, heartbroken and fainted immediately.

After waking up, he was still sick and haggard.

But these have nothing to do with Yan Xiu.

At this moment, he was sitting contentedly in Grandpa Ali's stall, enjoying the delicious meat buns to his heart's content.

The bun had a thin skin and rich fillings. When he took a bite, the gravy overflowed, leaving him completely satisfied.

"Brother Yan, eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you."

Looking at Yan Xiu's voracious eating, Ali couldn't help but remind him softly.

Yan Xiu did not answer, but just smiled foolishly.

Seeing this, Ali was afraid that Yan Xiu would choke on his food if he ate too fast, so she considerately brought him a bowl of soy milk.

Due to the sudden death of the prefect's only son, the entire Lingchuan Prefecture was under martial law.

At this moment, the streets seemed unusually empty and deserted, with very few pedestrians.

Ali wiped her chubby little hands on her apron, then stepped out of the stall, stood firmly in a horse stance, and started practicing basic skills.

Seeing this scene, Yan Xiu couldn't help but let out a soft "Oh" and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Ali, who taught you this set of horse stance skills?"

Yan Xiu asked.

Ali answered while maintaining her posture, her tone revealing pride.

"This is the basic skill that Brother Yu from the Qingshuang Sword Sect taught me."

"I want to be a female warrior in the future, so I have to seize every minute and practice my basic skills well."

Ah Li said while shaking her head, her serious look made Yan Xiu couldn't help laughing.

Ali noticed Yan Xiu's laughter, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and pouted her lips in warning.

"Brother Yan, what are you laughing at? Be careful or I'll even settle the bill for the soy milk with you!"

Yan Xiu fell silent immediately after hearing that, drank the soy milk in one gulp, and then acted like a scoundrel.

"Where is the soy milk? Where is the soy milk? Don't wrongly accuse a good person."

Ah Li was amused by Yan Xiu's naughty look, and her laughter like silver bells echoed in the empty street.

Grandpa Ali, who was sitting quietly behind the stall, witnessed this heartwarming scene and couldn't help but smile with relief.

Ever since Yan Xiu became a regular customer of the stall, every day of Ah Li's has been filled with laughter.

This made him feel very grateful to Yan Xiu.

"Ali, do you have a name?"

Ali shook her head upon hearing that, causing her pigtails to swing freely.

"Ali is called Ali because her grandfather planted a pear tree and raised her."

At this moment, Yan Xiu suddenly had an idea.

He turned to look at Grandpa Ali and asked.

"May I ask the old man's last name?"

Grandpa Ali answered without hesitation: "My last name is Chu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, his eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively.

"Brother Yan, are you planning to give Ali a name?"

Yan Xiu nodded slightly when he heard this, looked at Ah Li tenderly, and asked softly.

"Brother Yan wants to give Ah Li a name, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Ali's eyes suddenly lit up.

She skipped to Yan Xiu's side, her clear eyes full of anticipation.

"Is it really possible?"

Yan Xiu nodded in affirmation as a reply: "Of course."

But soon Ali's excitement disappeared in an instant, and a hint of loss appeared in her eyes.

"But Ah Li has never been to school, so I'm afraid she doesn't deserve a good name..."

Yan Xiu rubbed her head and comforted her: "A name is just a name. What does it have to do with whether you study or not?"

Yan Xiu's words were like warm sunshine, dispelling the haze in Ali's heart.

Upon hearing this, Ali's eyes lit up again.

She stared at Yan Xiu closely, her heart full of anticipation and curiosity.

"So what name are you going to give Ali, Brother Yan?"

Ali asked hopefully.

Yan Xiu pondered for a moment, then used his fingers as a pen to slowly write three words on the ground.

"Chu Youli."

After Yan Xiu finished writing, he read out the name word by word.

"Chu Youli..."

Ali whispered these three words softly, as if trying hard to remember them.

Then a bright smile broke out on her face and her eyes sparkled with a light she had never seen before.

"I like this name, thank you, Brother Yan!"

Then Ali stood up suddenly, put her hands on her hips, and announced in a childish but passionate tone.

"From today on, this heroine will be called Chu Youli! Wahahaha——"

Ali's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, and she jumped up and down with excitement.

Grandpa Ali was watching this scene from the side, his eyes slightly moist.

The next day, Ali's excited voice could be heard all over the street.

"Uncle Liu, I have a name now. It's Chu Youli!"

"Oh, what a great name!"

Uncle Liu was full of praise.

"Aunt Zhang, Ah Li is no longer a little girl without a name. Her name is Chu Youli!"

"That's great. Who gave you that name?"

Aunt Zhang asked with a loving look on her face.

"Brother Yan gave me this name!"

Ali answered proudly.

"Brother Sanman, listen carefully, Ah Li is now Chu Youli!"

"Haha, I know, I know, stop showing off and bring me a meat bun.

Since you have a name, add more meat this time!"

Brother Sanman deliberately put on a stern face, but he could not hide his love for Ali, and his words were full of jokes and love.

Ali excitedly walked between familiar stalls and shops, conveying her joy to everyone.
