A few years ago, after suffering from a serious illness that nearly took his life, Cao Yuanfang suddenly understood the fragility of existence. In his youth, he had traveled extensively, exploring many perilous tombs across Huaxia and witnessing numerous extraordinary events. He realized that the world was far more mysterious than it appeared. This led him to ponder whether there truly existed a method for achieving immortality.
In recent years, Cao Yuanfang had developed an interest in cultivation. He encountered many remarkable individuals and unusual phenomena around the world. Over time, he heard tales about the Seven Great Artifacts of Huaxia. This legend was shared with him by a Hua Xia Expert; otherwise, he would not have believed it.
The expert claimed that if one could gather all Seven Divine Artifacts, they would gain access to the celestial realm and obtain the secret to eternal life. This revelation thrilled Cao Yuanfang. Regardless of its truth, he felt compelled to pursue it. While searching for the whereabouts of the Seven Divine Artifacts, he recalled having seen one artifact in his past, though he wasn't entirely sure. His current visit was meant to confirm this memory.
However, seeing Jin Jiangming's evasive demeanor confirmed his suspicions.
"Cao Yuanfang, I truly don't know what bracelet you're talking about. You know I haven't been involved in antiques for many years, and I submitted many of my items to the state back then. If you want something, you'll probably have to look in a museum," Jin Jiangming continued to feign ignorance.
"I've already investigated the items you submitted to the state; they are all rather ordinary. The valuable pieces are still in your possession. My patience is limited, and I don't have time to play games with you," Cao Yuanfang replied impatiently.
"Honestly, I really don't know. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do," Jin Jiangming said with a helpless expression.
"If you want me to believe you, there's one way: let me search your place. If I don't find what I'm looking for, I'll forgo even a billion dollars in compensation and leave without causing you any trouble in the future." Cao Yuanfang stepped forward, fixing his gaze on Jin Jiangming with a deep and resolute tone.
At this moment, Jin Jiangming's expression changed uncontrollably. If it were anyone else, he might have allowed them to search; after all, he had hidden his valuable items well. But when it came to Cao Yuanfang, he dared not take that risk. Cao Yuanfang was a tomb raider with unparalleled skills in treasure hunting; the hidden compartments and traps in Jin Jiangming's home would likely be ineffective against him.
"What? Are you afraid?" Cao Yuanfang sneered.
"Ha! This is my home; how could I allow you to search at will? I can agree to your first condition, but as for the second one, I'm afraid I can't help you—I genuinely don't know what you're talking about," Jin Jiangming said earnestly, showing no signs of deceit.
"Then it seems there's no need to continue this discussion. In the coming days, Master Jin, take care of yourself. I'll leave the coffin here; we’re leaving." With that statement, Cao Yuanfang turned to leave.
"Stop!" Jin Jiangming couldn't afford to let a tiger return to its mountain lair; if Cao Yuanfang left now, it would mean he was truly at a disadvantage.
"What? Master Jin, have you come to a decision?" Cao Yuanfang turned back with a smile, appearing calm and in control.
What decision? Jin Jiangming cursed inwardly but maintained a pleasant demeanor as he said, "I think it's best if we resolve our misunderstanding today for both our sakes. However, there are too many guests here right now; let's talk privately after the birthday banquet. I assure you won't be disappointed—how does that sound?"
