C476 Too Late

Celestial Craftsman sat in the living room of the manor. He had just sent Ye Fei away. He finally let out a long sigh of relief. As the saying goes, a thief has a guilty conscience. Celestial Craftsman was really afraid that Ye Fei would find out that it was him who had exchanged the genuine goods. He would then come and find trouble with him.

Of course, Celestial Craftsman was not afraid of Ye Fei's strength, although Ye Fei's martial arts was very powerful among the younger generation. Celestial Craftsman knew a lot of experts, and Ye Fei wasn't even ranked among them. What Celestial Craftsman valued was his face. He was a man of reputation. If others knew that he had replaced the real goods his employer gave him with fake goods, his reputation would be ruined.

Luckily, Ye Fei did not realize that he had taken away a high imitation. In Celestial Craftsman's opinion, he had escaped a disaster. The reason was that Ye Fei, a young man, had eyes but failed to see. He was not smart enough.

Even so, Celestial Craftsman sat in the living room, and his heart was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that he should not have been greedy, he would have given the real Bronze Dragon Head to Ye Fei. There would not have been such a thing.

At this time, Celestial Craftsman's son, Xiaonan, walked in quickly.

"Xiaonan, that kid Ye Fei must have left. You came at the right time. Go pack your luggage immediately. We will go to Europe now. If Ye Fei comes back, we will give him an empty house. Make sure he can't find us."

Celestial Craftsman thought about it and decided to temporarily hide overseas. It should save him a lot of trouble.

Xiaonan's face was very ugly. It was deathly pale. It was even uglier than when he knew that the Bronze Dragon Head was lost. He said in a low voice, "Father, someone is looking for you outside."

Celestial Craftsman was very excited. He jumped up and said nervously, "Who is it? Don't tell me Ye Fei came back?"

"No, it's someone I don't know."

Xiaonan stammered.

"Someone you don't know? I don't know, I don't know. What time is it? I don't have the mood to meet strangers. Besides, can I, Celestial Craftsman, be seen by any Tom, Dick or Harry? "

Celestial Craftsman waved his hand impatiently." Get that person out of here. We'll go to the airport now. It'll save us a lot of trouble. "

"But, but..." Xiaonan was still a little hesitant. He spoke haltingly and said, "But that person said he knew you. When he said his name, you would know."

"You know me? There are many people in the world who know me, but I may not know him. Tell me, what's his name?"

Celestial Craftsman coldly harrumphed and said.

Before Xiaonan could say anything, two guards of the manor flew in through the window. They crashed onto the table in front of Celestial Craftsman, causing him to vomit blood and fall unconscious. Celestial Craftsman was frightened and scolded, "Who is it? How dare you behave atrociously in my territory? You really don't want to live anymore."

"Humph, humph, Celestial Craftsman, do you still know me?"

A sinister voice laughed. A man holding a black oil-paper umbrella appeared in front of him. His eyes were filled with coldness as he sized Celestial Craftsman up and down.

In the courtyard, Celestial Craftsman's guards and servants almost fell to the ground. It seemed that they were hurt by this strange man. He did not look at the people beside him and walked straight into the living room.

"You are..."

Celestial Craftsman shivered. A terrifying name appeared in his mind. He said in shock, "You are Soul snatching Scholar of Killing Sect!"

"Humph, at least you have some conscience. You did not forget my old friend."

Soul snatching Scholar said in a cold voice.

"Soul snatching Scholar, don't call me old friend. We only met once before. We can't even be considered friends. How dare you barge into my manor and hit my servant? However, I have something to attend to right now, so I can't be bothered to argue with you. Hurry up and push him out. I'll pretend nothing happened today."

Celestial Craftsman rolled his eyes. Although he could guess what Soul snatching Scholar was here for, he still hoped that Soul snatching Scholar wasn't here for the Bronze Dragon Head.

"Celestial Craftsman, after so many years of not seeing you, you are still so cunning. You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Soul snatching Scholar looked at Xiaonan as if Xiaonan had been splashed with a bucket of ice water. His entire body, from his skin to his bone marrow, had become numb. He could not move at all. Soul snatching Scholar stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiaonan. He kicked Xiaonan's knee.

"Ouch!"

Xiaonan let out a miserable cry. His knee bone was shattered by Soul snatching Scholar's kick. He lost his balance and fell to his knees in front of Soul snatching Scholar.

"Soul snatching Scholar, let go of my son!"1

Celestial Craftsman's brows twitched. He had long known that Soul snatching Scholar was a madman who killed without blinking his eyes. However, he didn't expect that ___ would be so ruthless that he would break someone's arms and legs the moment he attacked. If this situation continued, Soul snatching Scholar wouldn't be in a good mood. Xiaonan was going to lose his life.

"Cut the crap. You aren't a fool. Don't play dumb. If you don't behave yourself, I will kill this kid."

Soul snatching Scholar said coldly, "Where are our things?"

"This..."

Only now did Celestial Craftsman know that Soul snatching Scholar really came for the Bronze Dragon Head. He could no longer argue. With a sullen face, he said, "You are talking about the Bronze Dragon Head. It is not in my hands now."

"Celestial Craftsman, do you think we are fools?"

The cold expression on Soul snatching Scholar's face became even more intense. He said in a deep voice, "It has not been a day or two since I met you. With your ability to pluck feathers from a goose, what you gave Ye Fei must be an imitation. The real thing is definitely still in your hands. I didn't go to find Ye Fei, I just came to find you. You should know that I won't be fooled by a few words from you. I'll give you a word of advice. Hand over the Bronze Dragon Head honestly. It can still preserve today's wealth and glory. Otherwise, I will definitely make you wish you were dead! "

Celestial Craftsman was frightened and quickly said," No one would dare to lie to me. Who did I offend? I don't dare to offend the Killing Sect either. To tell you the truth, I did lie to Ye Fei. The real one was in my hands. But last night, my manor was robbed. The Bronze Dragon Head was stolen. Now, the Bronze Dragon Head really isn't here. Now, the thing really isn't in my hands. I've also been cheated by someone."

Soul snatching Scholar's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice," It was stolen by someone? Do you think I will believe your nonsense? With your shrewdness, who can steal it from you?"

Celestial Craftsman was extremely depressed in his heart. He had never thought that the true master would come so quickly. He said helplessly, "Soul snatching Scholar, what I said is true. Everything is true. It is impossible for an ordinary person to steal something from me, but... the one who stole the Bronze Dragon Head was the Lee family's Lee Sheying. That little thief is really powerful... "

"Lee Sheying, it's this little guy again!"

Soul snatching Scholar revealed a thoughtful expression. Lee Sheying was able to sneak into the Paul family's treasure vault. Then it wouldn't be difficult to sneak into Celestial Craftsman's manor. However... His facial expression suddenly changed, and a cracking sound could be heard. He crushed one of Xiaonan's wrists. "It's alright if you lie to others, but you want to lie to me. It was not enough! It seems like you are refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't tell the truth!"

One of Xiaonan's arms and legs had been crippled. He was in so much pain that his entire body was trembling. Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts before, so he still had some endurance. If he was an ordinary person, he would have fainted from the pain a long time ago.

Seeing that his son was in so much pain that he wanted to die, Celestial Craftsman's face turned ashen. He knelt down before Soul snatching Scholar with a puff. He shouted anxiously, "I... I am telling the truth... Soul snatching Scholar, you... you have to believe me. I... I really did not lie. You have to believe me... "

"Believe you?"

Soul snatching Scholar walked over with a sneer. He kicked Celestial Craftsman's chest. His face instantly turned red. He couldn't help but hold his chest and throw up.

Seeing Celestial Craftsman like this, Soul snatching Scholar couldn't help but look disgusted. He knew that Celestial Craftsman wouldn't be able to stand being hit, but he didn't expect Celestial Craftsman to be so impatient. He grabbed ___'s neck and lifted him up, then said in a deep voice, "Let me ask you one last time, where exactly is the Bronze Dragon Head?"

"I... I really don't know..."

Celestial Craftsman was already confused by the beating, but he still shook his head because what he said was the truth. He really did not know the whereabouts of the Bronze Dragon Head.
