The onlookers started to discuss among themselves.
"Did this kid not bring his brain with him?"
"He actually dares to compete with Wu Changqing for the item. I bet Wu Changqing won't do anything to him in public, but the price for this Iron Rod is definitely going to skyrocket."
...
The chubby kid tugged at Chu Yi's clothes, whispering, "Or should we wait for the next treasure?"
"No, I have my eye on this Iron Rod."
Chu Yi said firmly.
Wu Changqing must have heard Chu Yi's words too, he snorted coldly.
"Brat, do you know you're doing something very dangerous?"
Chu Yi replied neither servile nor overbearing, "Does the elder mean to say that you can't bid for things at will at this auction?"
This statement immediately placed Chu Yi on the moral high ground.
It was a clear auction, under the public eye, and he desired to bid for an item—this much freedom he certainly had.
Wu Changqing chuckled softly.
