Actually, that wasn't the case.
Chu Ge was waiting for Ren.
He was waiting for the masked man to initiate the bidding.
He wanted to see how much this masked man was willing to bid for the Jade Buddha.
During the bidding earlier, this masked man hadn't shown any response, always sitting with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong, contemplating in silence. But Chu Ge knew the reason he kept his head down was due to his eyes—those blood-red eyes were peculiar, and by keeping his head down, he might only appear shy, but once people noticed his eyes, it would be a different story.
Among Ancient Martial Artists, Blood Eyes only meant that he cultivated through illicit means, breaking through his bottlenecks via abnormal methods.
His Blood Eyes were different from those of Nangong Man Sha; such a person was extremely dangerous.
Chu Ge's curiosity about the masked man grew; he looked up at him, just in time to see him quietly raising his bidding sign.
