This chapter opens with a conversation between Ming-yang and his younger brother, yang-yunfan, in which the younger brother reveals that he is in love with a man. He also reveals that the man who tried to seduce him the day before tried to do the same thing to Ming-yan. The younger brother says that he will be attending the charity auction that evening. He tells Ming-Yang that he does not want to be disappointed by the auction because he is more beautiful than the rumors suggest. Ming-Yan says that she is the most beautiful person in the world and that this is because she is a disciple of the most powerful sect in China. The elder brother tells him to act as he sees fit later. He says that the four-faced buddha incarnation instrument is still in Ming-yun's possession and that he plans to buy it in three days. He wants to give him 100,000 yuan so that he can buy the instrument from Ming-Yin. The older brother tells the younger brothers that all the items in the auction are sponsored by Ming-Yuan and her friends and that there are lots of rare treasures waiting for all of them. The first item on the auction list is a tri-color porcelain horse statue, but the older brother says he will not buy it because he wants to buy the nine-dragons jade cauldron, which has a starting price of 50 million yuan
