Fan Ling learned that the mysterious appraiser had killed powerful opponents and was feared even by the Blood Sect. After Ling Ying and Yao Chen realized the appraiser had concealed strength beyond their ability to detect, Yao Chen began to suspect he knew the old man’s identity.

• Fan Ling panicked when he saw his feared neighbors and learned the appraiser had assigned them the adjoining private room.
• A guard told Fan Ling that the appraiser had once killed a Black List Dou Huang Expert with a finger and that another expert and his faction had been wiped out after investigating him.
• Ling Ying told Xiao Xun'er and Qi Yan'er what he had overheard, and they realized the appraiser was far more powerful than he appeared.

• Yao Chen suddenly wondered whether the appraiser could be someone he knew, but did not yet name him.

• Qi Yan'er and Yao Chen deduced that Xiao Yan had given the auctioneer the Tou She Ancient God Jade, and the group worked out that he had revealed its identity to the old man.
• The group reasoned that Xiao Yan had offered the jade pendant in hopes of gaining a powerful master, while the auctioneer had confined him and staged the auction to learn who the girls were.
• After hearing Xiao Xun'er mention the Ancient Clan, the white-haired old man recognized the group’s connections to several ancient clans, threw the pendant into their room, and fled.

She revealed that she already had two fragments, making three in total, just as Su Mei arrived at her room and drew the attention of two powerful presences.
