In this chapter, Pan tells the audience that he has prepared over 240,000 gold taels for the upcoming auction. He hopes to win the three "ultimate treasures" of heavenly silk, frost dragon scale armor, and crimson blood-heart jade. He also tells us that rumors have been circulating that xia-yuning is in love with a man from a common family. Pan says that he doesn't care what others say, so he is just a "commoner" and he is standing at the head of the crowd without being shamed. He tells Pan and tian yuan not to be too harsh with him, because he is a friend of yuning's and she is his friend too. Pan tells Pan that the two young masters are just nosy, and that they will take their leave first. He says that they shouldn't worry about what they said, because they are just being nosy and they are friends. He adds that he hasn't seen sister ying in years, and they haven't yet had a proper conversation with each other, so they will stay until the auction is over
