I traveled through time and space as a little girl, and the emperor appointed me as the great master

Inn.

Zhou Nian'er arrived at the inn early, and she was very excited. She stood in front of Kong Xiaoxiao's door, took a deep breath, and knocked gently.

"Master Kong, please open the door!" Zhou Nian'er called softly.

After a while, the door slowly opened and Kong Xiaoxiao appeared at the door. She was smiling and her eyes were clear and bright.

"Master Kong, good morning!" Zhou Nian'er bowed and walked into the room. Kong Xiaoxiao politely asked her to sit down and poured her a cup of hot tea.

"Ms. Zhou, what's the matter that brings you to see me so early?" Kong Xiaoxiao asked softly.

Zhou Nian'er looked at Kong Xiaoxiao gratefully, then took out a thick stack of banknotes from her bosom and placed them on the table. Then, she carefully opened an exquisite wooden box, inside which lay a precious item.

"Master Kong, please accept these banknotes. They are a token of my appreciation to you. And the things in this box are also specially for you. Please accept them." Zhou Nian'er said sincerely.

Kong Xiaoxiao was a little surprised when she saw the banknotes and gifts in front of her, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Miss Zhou, such a generous gift is really too grand. It's just a small favor for me to help you. There's no need to be so polite."

Then Kong Xiaoxiao looked at the amount of the banknote and the things in the box and was slightly stunned. "Oh, you are really a rich woman, you actually gave me a manor! But I appreciate your kindness, I will accept the banknote, but you should take the manor back, it is useless to me."

Kong Xiaoxiao stuffed the banknotes into her arms without any hesitation and pushed the box back to Zhou Nian'er.

"But how can I repay your kindness to me with just the banknotes? If you don't want to accept the farm, I will go back and get you some more banknotes." After all, in her opinion, just the banknotes seemed too thin and lacked sincerity.

Kong Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing at Zhou Nian'er's innocence: "Haha, Miss Zhou, you are so cute. Okay, I have already accepted your kindness, and that's enough."

Kong Xiaoxiao said, patting the banknotes on her chest. There were at least several thousand taels. Didn't Miss Zhou have any concept of money?

Seeing the master's firm attitude, Zhou Nian'er had no choice but to give up.

"Ah, my father has been locked in his room since yesterday and refused to come out since he found out what Aunt Liu did yesterday."

When she talked about her father, she felt a fire in her heart. She originally thought that her father was not a love-struck person, after all, her mother was gentle and beautiful, and he didn't seem to love her much.

On the contrary, this concubine Liu is not as good as my mother, but she is highly favored.

Kong Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "Your father is not a lovesick man. Most men cannot accept being cuckolded. He is just depressed because his self-esteem has been hurt."

Zhou Nian'er was stunned, then sneered: "I thought that if he was really infatuated, I would look up to him. But it seems that his and my personalities are really opposite and incompatible."

After Zhou Nian'er left, Kong Xiaoxiao told He Junlin to take the two children out. She decided to stay in the room and draw the talisman. Today, she received a letter from her eldest disciple, urging her to deliver the talisman as soon as possible.

She locked herself in the room and concentrated on drawing the talisman. After half a day, she finally completed the talisman. She immediately asked Hai Dongqing to send it back quickly.

After doing all this, she fell into boredom again, so she sat back on the bed and began to practice. Once she entered the state of practice, she would immerse herself in it and reach a state of selflessness. Time passed quietly, and before she knew it, night had fallen.

Kong Xiaoxiao ate the dinner He Junlin bought, slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, looked calmly at the bedside, and said in a low and ethereal voice: "Come out, how long are you going to follow me secretly like this? If you really have something to ask me, you might as well tell me directly."

As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow flashed beside the bed like a ghost.

The man was wearing a black robe that tightly wrapped his entire body, making it impossible to see his true face. However, the ferocious face and sharp fangs that could be vaguely seen from under the black robe exuded a creepy aura.

A mysterious token hung around his waist, his left hand held a soul-catching rope that glowed coldly, and his right hand held another soul-catching lock that was equally icy.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest, Kong Xiaoxiao did not show the slightest surprise or fear. Instead, she said calmly: "Sir Ghost Messenger, I didn't expect to see you here. You are really a rare guest." After that, she smiled gently, as if she was already accustomed to the scene before her.

Hearing Kong Xiaoxiao's words, the ghost was obviously stunned for a moment, and his body was slightly stiff. After hesitating for a moment, he finally slowly asked, "You actually know me?" There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in his words.

Kong Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "You're wearing such eye-catching gear, it's hard for me not to recognize you! Just tell me what you want from me."

The ghost was speechless for a while... This little girl was not afraid of him at all, instead he felt a strong deterrent force from her. It was really strange!

The ghost shook his head, threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, and yelled at Kong Xiaoxiao: "How dare you hide the soul privately, do you know your crime?"

Kong Xiaoxiao was stunned... "Xiaofu, didn't you say that Xiaoxiao wouldn't be discovered?"

"Host, maybe our level is not high enough... hehe." Xiao Fu's guilty voice was as soft as a mosquito.

Kong Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while, thinking secretly in her heart. Finally, she thought that this ghost messenger must have something to ask of her, otherwise he would not have followed her for a whole day without taking any action. After all, the other party was a ghost messenger, so she had to give him some face.

She took the initiative to speak: "Sir Ghost Messenger, tell me, what can you do for me? At most I can help you fulfill a wish, and then we will turn a blind eye to the ghost matter?"

Seeing that Kong Xiaoxiao was so stubborn and not only refused to repent but also wanted to bribe him, the ghost pretended to be furious.

"How dare you! The underworld has a clear rule that we ghost officials cannot accept him from the living world.

You are bribing me openly?" Kong Xiaoxiao looked at the ghost in front of him and sneered in his heart.

The ghostly aura of the ghost messenger instantly wrapped around his whole body, as if showing his majesty. Kong Xiaoxiao touched his forehead helplessly, thinking: "What a false nobleness."

"Since the ghost messenger is so disrespectful, please go ahead." Kong Xiaoxiao said coldly, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the gate, looking at the ghost messenger with cold eyes. He obviously didn't expect Kong Xiaoxiao to be so straightforward and was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he could use his status to make Kong Xiaoxiao surrender, but now he was defeated by the other party.

Although I was very unhappy, I was in a dilemma when I thought about the unfinished things I had and I didn't know how to decide.
