"I don't have any intentions of giving up on this blood essence, so let's continue bidding," Ye Chen replied after they were done putting in offers.
Hearing his words, Ji Feng and others' faces couldn't help but become black.
Meanwhile, Hong Fang, Wei Sun, and Su Qiming heaved a sigh of relief.
They were worried that Ye Chen would choose to get protection from the crown prince, which would limit their power if he got involved in the fight for the throne.
Currently Ye Chen didn't have any such ties or had gotten involved so they could ask for help from their seniors inside their power or family if there was a need to protect him or people beside him.
However, if he got involved in the politics, then it would be difficult. Especially if people close to him got dragged into this, they will need a valid reason to intervene; if not, they could be considered to be interfering with the ascension of the king.
