Kong Hanan said he was tired, but he did not escape his responsibility. He was really tired.
He had been sleeping in the open air these days and was under a lot of pressure, especially when facing Li Wujiu and the sneak attack on Yinfeng Mountain. Although he seemed to be in control of the situation, he was actually forced to do so.
I haven't had a proper rest at all.
After returning to Helue Town and pretending to be a master, dealing with a group of cultivators and the master of Yinfeng Mountain, he was really exhausted physically and mentally.
After stepping out of the space rift, he appeared next to the cemetery in Helue Town.
Fortunately, it was daytime in the human world and no wild ghosts dared to come out to bask in the sun. After kowtowed twice beside his parents' graves, Kong Hanan mounted Ma Er and flew back home.
The house is a mess...
Kong Hanan took a deep breath.
He didn't know who did it, but he roughly guessed that it was the five unruly subordinates of the God of Wealth.
Kong Hanan deliberately left them in the underworld and did not arrange for anyone to recuperate their injuries, just to teach them a lesson. Now seeing the mess in the house, he felt even more upset. He was in a hurry to go to bed and had no time to argue with them. When he had time, Kong Hanan planned to give them a good beating.
He ordered Niu Dou and Ma Mian to stay at home, and Kong Hanan went out to borrow a straw mat from his neighbor.
He had been floating in the sky before, and the whole town was shouting about it. He was in the limelight and the news had spread in the town. Naturally, the neighbors would not disagree and readily gave Kong Hanan a new quilt. Kong Hanan thanked them and went back home. He didn't care whether it was messy or hot, he just spread the bed on the ground and fell asleep.
As soon as he closed his eyes, fatigue swept over his body. Kong Hanan was barely conscious. Fearing that something might happen in the underworld, he left a space passage in the courtyard. Then he became drowsy and lost consciousness.
Not long after Kong Hanan fell asleep, Zeng Wu came to visit with gifts.
After knocking on the door repeatedly without any response, Zeng Wu blinked, walked to the corner, and took out a spare key.
The two of them had similar personalities and a close relationship. They had gotten drunk together countless times, so of course he knew where Kong Hanan hid the key.
Kong Hanan's house was old and the main door was loose. With a slight push, a gap would appear between the two doors, wide enough for an arm to fit in. Even if it was locked, it was only to protect against gentlemen but not villains. Zeng Wu was too familiar with Kong Hanan's house and quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
In fact, it was not in line with his character to rush in like this, but the gift in his hand was brought by Captain Xu, and he couldn't give it back.
Zeng Wu's original intention was to open the door, put the gift inside and leave, but after pushing the door open, he felt a chill and the mess in the yard came into view.
Zeng Wu knew that Kong Hanan loved to tidy up things. He even joked that his brother was too picky. After experiencing the invasion of the city by ghost cultivators, he also recognized that the coolness was the Yin Qi, and his heart skipped a beat!
Could it be that my brother’s house was attacked?
He held the knife at his waist and carefully walked into the house.
"Hmph, what kind of scoundrel dares to break into the master's residence?"
A strange groan was heard, and Zeng Wu's face changed drastically. He was about to draw his sword, but he felt that his whole body could not move.
A bull demon, two men tall, walked out, carrying a huge axe on its shoulder, with a dim light in its eyes.
Zeng Wuben thought he was strong enough, but when he saw the bull demon, he couldn't help but feel like an ant.
Veins popped out of the bull demon's arms as he swung the giant axe quickly. Zeng Wu once again closed his eyes in despair.
"Niu Da, don't do anything, we are one."
Zeng Wu felt a familiar voice ringing out, and felt a strong wind blowing over his head. When he opened his eyes again, the bull demon changed the direction of the axe and swung it over his head. Beside it stood a very familiar figure.
Brother Kong’s steed mount!
Zeng Wu breathed a sigh of relief. The bull demon was so powerful that he almost lost his head.
Ma Mian had cooperated with his Gu family before, so he cleared up the misunderstanding and took the initiative to greet Zeng Wu.
"Is the young man from the Zeng family here to see my master?"
Zeng Wu nodded, raised the nice-looking food box in his hand and shook it. The food box was very heavy and filled with a lot of silver, making a clinking and clanging sound.
"This is a gift that Xu Meng, the current head of the Xu family, asked me to bring to Brother Kong. General Xu would like to invite Brother Kong to a banquet at Yicui Pavilion tonight."
This small box of silver has at least one or two hundred taels. Yicui Pavilion is the best restaurant in Helue Town, and it has all the entertainment options. Xu Meng has given Kong Hanan enough face.
Zeng Wu had his own considerations. His brother was favored by a county lieutenant and was from a powerful family in Yaoshan Town. Xu Meng entrusted him with the task of inviting Kong Hanan to a banquet, which would definitely be a good job for the Kong brother.
This is a good thing.
In Zeng Wu's eyes, Kong Hanan is a living person. Even if he has a job in the underworld, he must live a normal life in the world of the living. If he can get an official position in the court, he can naturally show his talents.
But Niu Dou Ma Mian had no interest in what he said.
In the eyes of the two demons, Kong Hanan carries the resonance of heaven and earth and is recognized by the emperor. He will definitely gain a foothold in the underworld in the future and become a powerful overlord. There is no need for him to have any connection with the world of the living.
"Hmph, since you're one of us, I'll tell you the truth. A county lieutenant? Who the hell is that? Are you worthy enough to treat my master to a meal?"
Niu Dou groaned and released the magical restraints on Zeng Wu, while also bluntly rejecting Zeng Wu's invitation.
Ma glanced at Niu Dou, then forced a smile and said to Zeng Wu, "Brother Zeng, don't listen to that fool. Your Excellency has been fighting for thousands of miles and is truly exhausted. He is resting now. I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for you today, so please help me decline this gift. We can't make the decision for you, so please take it back."
The meaning of not accepting gifts is very clear.
Zeng Wu thought that there was no need to have a conflict with his two brothers and subordinates. He should go back and have a good talk with Captain Xu, or come back another day. He nodded and turned to report to Xu Meng.
