Xiao was unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time, "You...you are..."

"do what?"

It took her a long time to find her voice after she recovered from her shock.

The person holding her raised Bingruo's eyebrows and said, "It's obvious."

He looked up at her, half-closed his eyes and continued, "I'm teasing the bird."

Xiao Yan: "..."

The movement that had just risen was like warm water meeting cold air, and it quickly turned into ice.

Damn it, could you not say this in such a vulgar way? What if the kids hear it?

Xiao Xu looked into the other person's amused eyes and caught a glimpse of a group of beggars behind him.

Looking at him with shock and disbelief.

"Put me down quickly, someone is watching me."

"Um."

Someone responded and changed the action of lifting her up to holding her in his arms, resting his chin on her little head.

Xiao Xu's ears turned slightly red, and she was at a loss for a moment. She pushed his shoulder and whispered, "Let me go, why are you holding me? I'm not a bird now."

If someone saw me like this and it got out, it would become a rumor, which would be so bad.

Ana Shen held her tighter, as if he had ignored her words.

It wasn't until Xiao Yan pushed hard that he reluctantly let go. Before he finished, he touched her head and snorted coldly, "If you're not a bird, you can't hug me. So that's how you are."

Damn, why does she act like a scumbag?

Xiao Xu glared at someone, then walked past him and looked out, her gaze falling on a group of beggars. She raised an eyebrow and said, "I hope you can all keep what's happening here a secret."

The beggars fell to their knees, shouting, "Greetings, Our Imperial Master!"

The discerning ones have already started nagging: "So it's the Grand Master who's here to investigate the case. I also think the deaths of Old Li's family are suspicious, but I didn't expect it to be related to those things. What should we do? Will something like that happen to us too?"

Xiao Yu listened to every word. She glanced at the timid beggars, took out a stack of talismans from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to one of them: "If you are afraid, take this with you. But I still advise you to find a new place to stay and not stay here."

Although she had removed some of the evil spirits, there were still some that had not been discovered. If this group of beggars continued to stay here, something would happen sooner or later. Giving them some talismans could be considered to appease them.

The beggars nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes... We will find a new place, but the people living here probably won't leave..."

They have no home and can leave at will as long as they can stay somewhere, but the people who live here cannot do that.

Because of the poverty here, it is not easy to have a place to live. If you really move away, you will become a beggar, without a home and can only wander.

I believe that many people would not choose to become refugees and would rather die in this place.

Xiao Xu: "You can talk to them. I can give you a place to stay, but... you have to pay for it. Of course... I won't ask you to pay now. You can pay it over the years."

Beggar: "Thank you, Master Imperial Master!"

They began to kowtow one after another, each time louder than the last, making a thud-like sound all over the ground.

Xiao Yu was afraid that they would hit their heads, so he said, "Get up, there's no need to do this."

"I told you that I'm not going to use any money. You have to pay a certain amount of money every year, and I'll also arrange some things for you to do that can make money."
