Upon entering the living halls at Longxi, the Arbitrator separated the four of them, assigning each to a prearranged compartment.
Tang Luo looked up at the number two plate above his compartment, realizing that the rooms were arranged according to their rankings in the second stage: thus, Xiang Loulan must be in room number one, and Cao Changqing in room number three.
Glancing at the furnishings of the small room, he noticed a paper album sealed with candle wax on the table, bearing the title "Secret Arts Atlas." The scholarly Four Treasures of the Study—brush, ink, paper, inkstone—in room number two did not seem to differ from those in the other compartments, indicating that, just as Master Wei had said, the rankings of the second stage did not affect the challenges of the third stage.
