Feng Zhi was not surprised at all.

As long as one thought about it, the other eight families, including the Lu Family who hated Feng Zhi to the core, had all sent people over to the Feng Family. Only the Murong Family had not made any movements until now, and they could tell something.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "So you're saying, the Mu Rong family really doesn't plan to show their face, and they want to renege on their debt?"

If the Mu Rong family really made this decision, she would have a higher opinion of them.

After all, someone from the Martial Saint had personally made a promise in front of so many people, and now someone had actually denied it.

Seeing that Feng Zhi's expression was not the least bit surprised, Feng Tianqiong was originally somewhat angry in his heart, but now he could not help but laugh, and said: "The Mu Rong family just made a declaration a few days ago, expelling Great Elder Murong Yu from the Mu Rong family. This way, the Mu Rong family would obviously not accept anything that Murong Yu had promised."

Tch!

Feng Zhi could not help but sneer.

In the end, she had overestimated the Mu Rong family and didn't even dare to openly go back on her word. She could only use this piece of cloth to cover herself. Could it be that others wouldn't be able to see the essence of her going back on her words?

However …

Don't underestimate the Mu Rong family for expelling Murong Yu from the Mu Rong family, but Murong Yu was one of the top Martial Saint experts on the continent. How could the Mu Rong family expel Murong Yu from the Mu Rong family for such a matter?

Therefore, Feng Zhi blinked her eyes again, "If I am not wrong, then the so-called expelling of the family, is only to casually bluff, right?"

Regardless of whether it was Feng Tianqiong or Feng Liancheng's couple, when they heard Feng Zhi's words, they were all slightly moved for a moment.

They now truly suspected whether Feng Zhi was really a sixteen year old girl. How could a teenage girl still be so calm after finding an excuse to renege on such a huge debt of hers?

The question went out for a while, but there was no response.

Feng Zhi understood the expressions of Feng Tianqiong and the others, and laughed: "I am not angry because I have a big stomach, but because there will be a day when I will take back the loss of sixty million gold coins from the Mu Rong family, and since I am not going to lose out, then why should I be angry?"

Feng Tianqiong and the rest were even more speechless.

They were still thinking about how they could persuade Feng Zhi a little, but they did not expect Feng Zhi to have already thought of all the matters far ahead, what need did they have to worry about?

For a moment, the faces of Feng Tianqiong and the other elders were a little awkward.

Only Feng Lai and Feng Ming, from the beginning till the end, had never been worried about this matter. In all these years, when did they ever see Feng Zhi suffer a loss under anyone's hands?

After a long while, Feng Tianqiong coughed lightly and said, "There are a total of three people in the Murong family, so they naturally can't really expel Murong Yu, this Martial Saint. The reason why they released this kind of news was to find a reason for them to go back on their words, at least once after this news was spread, there were still people who saw Murong Yu entering and leaving the Murong family."

Speaking to there, Feng Tianqiong felt that the Mu Rong family's actions were a bit strange.

Family Head Murong He of the Mu Rong family and Feng Tianqiong were of the same generation, both of them were Martial Saint level experts, and they were both part of ten great families. Although the two of them did not interact much, they still met quite a few times.

When Feng Tianqiong and the rest returned, Feng Tianqiong had also heard about the huge sum of money that the Mu Rong family owed Feng Zhi. He originally thought that Feng Zhi would actually be able to get a piece of meat out of the Mu Rong family's mouth.

He did not know how Murong He made that decision, but if it was Feng Tianqiong himself, using the Mu Rong family's name to exchange for the large amount of gold, even if the Mu Rong family had to tighten their belt, he would definitely not be able to go back on his words.

Feng Tianqiong could not help but shake his head.

Feng Zhi did not want to say too much about this matter. She knew what the Mu Rong family would do, but at that time, she could already guess, she just needed to get back at them, of course she would not be angry about it.

Nodding towards Feng Tianqiong, Feng Zhi said: "Grandfather, since the Mu Rong family is willing to go back on their words, I believe that they will not send anyone to our Feng Family this time around. We will then inform the masters tomorrow, with the elders taking the lead, and have a good talk with them about the Dragon Pass rankings."

The reason why he kept dragging this matter out was because he wanted to wait until all the nine noble families were here. Since the Mu Rong family was not coming, there was no need to hold them up any longer.

Feng Tianqiong also nodded.

This matter was decided.

In the next few days, Feng Family became even more lively than before.

The heads of the eight great families gathered in the Elders Guild every day to bargain with the elders of the Feng Family.

Regarding the slots for Dragon Pass, this matter was undoubtedly extremely important to the various families, and now that they saw the Mu Rong family not coming again, every few years there would be more slots, and whether these slots were given to the other families or not, how were they supposed to split them up among themselves …

These are all problems.

Furthermore, just what kind of price would the large families have to pay every year to send someone out to the Dragon Pass …

And so on.

All the families would rather die than retreat on these issues. After all, this retreat of theirs represented an unknown price that the clan would have to pay, but the power to negotiate this time was not in their hands. Feng Family was a bargaining chip, so the eight great clans did not need to lower their heads to them.

A group of old men with graying hair and beards had been arguing about this topic for days before they finally made some noise.

On this day, Feng Zhi was once again invited to the Elders Guild by the elders of the Feng Family.

Although she was only a sixteen year old Feng Family disciple, her Dragon Pass was still in Feng Zhi's hands in the end. Since the negotiations between the Feng Family and the various families had come to an end, she should of course allow Feng Zhi to listen to the final conclusion as well.

Thus, Feng Zhi sat in the Elders Guild's conference hall.

Long Yan had always been with Feng Zhi, so of course he was also with him.

In the elders' association, Great Elder Feng Tian let out a light cough, causing everyone's gaze to fall on him. Only then did he say, "Regarding the matter of the Dragon Pass spots, everyone has gotten a basic understanding of it in the past few days …"

Then, Feng Tian Jue went through the results of the Elders Guild's negotiations these past few days.
