Two days later, Xu Yeyu arrived at the gate of Baijiao County.

An officer stepped forward, clasped his fists and asked, "Are you the young hero from the Jiuhua Sect?"

Xu Yeyu shook his head and said, "I am not a cultivator from the Jiuhua Sect."

The officers and soldiers originally thought that Xu Yeyu was a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect. Recently, the county magistrate entrusted the Jiuhua Sect with a task.

"I wonder why you came to Baijiao County?" the officers and soldiers continued to ask.

"I just came to Baijiao County to carry out the sect's commission. You don't have to take it too seriously." Xu Yeyu replied.

His temperament is different from that of ordinary people, and with the sword hanging on his waist, ordinary people can tell at a glance that he is a monk.

"I would like to ask, where is Yangxi Inn?" Xu Yeyu asked.

"Young man, Yangxi Inn is located in the west of the city. When you get there, just pay a little attention and you will find it." The soldier replied.

Another soldier asked, "Young man, are you going to stay at the Yangxi Inn?"

"I'll probably stay there for a few days." Xu Yeyu responded.

The officer pondered for a moment and said, "Some strange things have happened at Yangxi Inn recently. No guests dare to stay there at night."

Xu Yeyu asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Strange noises and knocks on the door were often heard late at night in the inn. We confirmed this after investigating."

"Our county lord has entrusted the nearby small sects to send people to handle this matter." The officer added.

Another soldier said, "Half a month has passed, and Jiuhua Sect has not sent any disciples to help. The owner of Yangxi Inn is very worried."

Xu Yeyu nodded slightly. He realized that the officers and soldiers seemed to hope that he could help.

"If a ghost appears, I will help deal with it." Xu Yeyu said.

He still has to stay in Yangxi Inn for a few days waiting for his client. If the inn is haunted, it will affect his sleep at night.

"Thank you, young man. We will not disturb you any more. Please go into the city." said the soldiers.

Xu Yeyu walked into Baijiao County and headed towards the west of the city.

Half an hour later, Xu Yeyu arrived at Yangxi Inn.

He walked into the inn.

It's dinner time, but there are only two guests eating here. It's understandable that ordinary people don't dare to come to Yangxi Inn.

After Xu Yeyu sat down, the innkeeper came to him and asked, "Are you a disciple of Jiuhua Sect?

"I'm not a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect." Xu Yeyu replied.

The innkeeper sighed heavily. He originally thought that Xu Yeyu was a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect.

Business has been bad in the past half month. If the monks from Jiuhua Sect don't come to help him deal with this matter next month, he is considering changing his career.

"I heard from the soldiers at the city gate that there were strange noises at night. I guess it must be haunted." Xu Yeyu said.

"Yeah, we all wonder if there's a ghost."

The boss lowered his voice and continued, "Some time ago, there were guests who said that someone was knocking on their door every night, but they saw nothing when they walked out of the room."

Word of mouth spread, and now the inn's business is sluggish.

"Boss, I have something to talk to you about. Please sit down first." Xu Yeyu said.

The boss didn't expect that a monk would invite him to discuss something at the same table.

After all, in his understanding, monks are rather aloof and will not show a good attitude to mortals.

After the boss sat down, Xu Yeyu continued, "I can help you solve this problem, but I want to charge you a little money. What do you think?"

"How much do you want to get paid, young man?" asked the boss.

If he only wanted a hundred taels of silver, he could still afford it, but if it was several hundred taels of silver, he'd better change his career as soon as possible.

Xu Yeyu smiled and said, "After the matter is resolved, I will charge you ten taels of silver. What do you think?"

The boss was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the monk in front of him would only accept ten taels of silver.

He reported the matter to the authorities and asked the county magistrate to entrust the monks of Jiuhua Sect to help handle the matter, and the reward was one hundred taels of silver.

The boss even suspected that the man in front of him was a liar.

Xu Yeyu naturally noticed the boss's suspicious look. He took off the black jade from his waist and put it on the table.

"I am a disciple of the Sunset Sect. If you don't believe me, you can take this black jade to ask the county magistrate. He should know about it."

When disciples of Sunset Sect are doing commissions outside, they will show the black jade to prove their identities.

Baijiao County is also within the scope of Xiyang Sect's entrustment. As long as the county magistrate is not a new one, he must know this kind of black jade.

The boss looked at the black jade on the table. He had naturally never seen such a thing, but he was familiar with the Sunset Sect.

He swallowed his saliva. How could a disciple from such a big sect only charge ten taels of silver?

"I believe what you say, young man. After the task is completed, I will give you twenty taels of silver," said the boss.

Since he said so, the boss must believe him.

Seeing his boss being so straightforward, Xu Yeyu smiled and said, "No problem!"

"If you're worried, you can stay at the inn tonight and I'll help you solve it in person."

The boss shook his head quickly. He didn't dare stay in the inn at night. Monks are not afraid of ghosts, but he is very afraid.

"I won't bother you, young man. I'll be a hindrance if I stay here."

Xu Yeyu waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come over.

"Young man, do you want to eat?" asked the boss.

Xu Yeyu nodded and said, "It's time for dinner now. I want to eat something first."

After all, only when you have enough food can you have the energy to work.

"This meal is on me, young man, order whatever you want!"

Xu Yeyu immediately became excited. This kind of boss knows how to do business!

"Do you have coconut chicken soup?" Xu Yeyu asked.

"We don't have coconut chicken soup here. After all, coconuts are hard to get," the boss replied.

Xu Yeyu nodded and said, "Then I want a serving of mushroom chicken soup, a serving of fried noodles, and a serving of fried prawns."

The boss stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

After a stick of incense, the waiter walked to Xu Yeyu's table with a plate.

Xu Yeyu saw an extra dish of beef. He looked up at the waiter and asked, "I didn't order this. Is it for another customer?"

"The boss asked the kitchen to fry an extra plate of beef for you, young man." The waiter replied.

Xu Yeyu nodded. When he went to some inns to eat, the owner would specially give him one or two dishes.

"If you need anything else, you can call me anytime. There are no other customers in the store right now."

After the waiter finished speaking, he sat down at an empty table nearby.

Business was slow, so the boss allowed him to find a place to sit when there were no customers.

After Xu Yeyu finished his meal, he came to the counter.

"Boss, I'd like to stay here for a few days. How much does it cost per night?" Xu Yeyu asked.

The innkeeper quickly said, "I won't charge you, young man."

If this disciple from Sunset Sect only stayed in the inn for a few days, the owner would naturally not charge him any money.

If Xu Yeyu can help solve the problem of the haunted inn, the boss can cancel the commission from Jiuhua Sect, and he can save dozens of taels of silver.

The boss still understands this kind of social etiquette.
