Hearing the elder's words, Murong He glanced at him with a dark face, then turned ashen, not saying a single word.
Being swept by Murong He, the elder immediately shivered.
The room immediately quieted down.
Everyone knew that Family Head had been in a bad mood these past few days. They didn't want to go forward, so they tried their best not to.
However …
The reason why they were gathered together was to discuss the countermeasures. If they did not say anything, could it be that they could come up with their own strategies?
Thus, everyone's gaze fell onto Murong Yu.
Murong Yu's face turned green.
He knew what these people meant. Wasn't it because he wanted to talk to the Family Head?
Normally, Murong Yu wouldn't think too much about it, but unfortunately, there was now that rumor about him and the Family Head.
It was said that only thieves would feel guilty, the relationship between Murong Yu and Murong He was pure and white, so of course he wouldn't feel guilty. But no matter how confident he was, he was always being looked at with a probing gaze to see if there was any relationship between him and the Family Head, and who was above and who was below …
Wait and wait for this kind of question, would he get angry too?
Furthermore, what is the meaning of looking at him at this time? Could it be that you think he has some other relationship with the Family Head?
Thinking about it this way, Murong Yu couldn't suppress his anger anymore.
After a long while, Murong Yu finally took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger.
"Family Head, this matter …" Murong Yu continued.
Murong He's face was gloomy, but he was still extremely respectful to the Great Clan Elder, Murong Yu. Seeing Murong Yu speak, he suppressed the cold look on his face and snorted, "Could it be that she is just a little girl, I never expected her to have so many tricks up her sleeve, but does she think that just this little method of hers is enough to deal with our Murong Family?"
The others let out sighs of relief.
Then, they shook their heads heavily in their hearts.
As members of the Mu Rong family, and also the pill refiners that all the warriors on the continent revered, they were naturally proud of their own families. From the day the Mu Rong family received the inheritance, they have always been standing firmly on top of the Profound Martial Continent.
Even if Feng Zhi was a Feng Family people, even if she was a genius that was rarely seen in a hundred or even a thousand years, so what?
How could she be stronger than her peers? Could it be that she wanted to fight the Mu Rong family alone?
No one believes that.
Seeing that everyone had recovered their pride, Murong He's expression became a little more gentle, and he said: "Anyways, since we have already done what we previously did, and we have indeed infuriated Feng Zhi, then our plan must have been successful. Right now, isn't Feng Zhi already walking step by step towards Qian Xi City?"
Speaking till here, thinking about what he had received today, and the Feng Zhi type of message that appeared in the nearest city, West Qian City, Murong He's face darkened again.
This time, even if he got all the pills and rare medicines from Feng Zhi, they wouldn't be able to recover the prestige that the Mu Rong family had lost because of him alone.
Those stories that Feng Zhi had fabricated were actually fake, and could be ignored. As long as one was clear-headed, it was impossible for them to believe such things, but for someone to go back on their word and sacrifice the Great Clan Elder, it was a huge blow to the reputation of the Murong Family.
However …
Even so, Murong He would not have any regrets.
Could fame be eaten as food?
Obviously not.
If the Mu Rong family had been able to prosper because of the inheritance and become one of the top ten families, then they would be able to rise to a whole new level in the future. They would be able to become an existence that even the top ten families could only look up to.
At that time, would the warriors of the mainland refuse to beg for pills because of the bad reputation of the Mu Rong family?
Just by thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible.
Therefore, to Murong He and the Mu Rong family, as long as they could get what Feng Zhi wanted, paying such a price was not worth it.
Everyone nodded heavily.
Just like Murong He, they thought the same.
However …
It was a pity for the reputations of the Family Head and Great Clan Elder.
It was a bit dubious and had a heavy taste to it. If he got involved with anyone, no matter how well the Mu Rong family would do in the future, they wouldn't be washed away.
It could be imagined that, in the future, whenever Murong He and Murong Yu were mentioned in the continent, what people would think of was not what kind of power or influence they had, but rather, the ambiguous relationship between them.
This is truly …
Just the thought of it made him feel helpless.
The higher-ups of the Mu Rong family were all thinking this.
They did not dare to reveal the thoughts in their hearts, but even if they did, they were only sneaking around, afraid that Murong He and Murong Yu would make them angry if they found out.
In an instant, the entire meeting room became quiet.
Murong He and Murong Yu only thought that the people in the hall were thinking about the future of the Mu Rong family, but who would have thought that they were thinking about such unrelated things? If they knew, then they probably wouldn't be able to stop themselves from slamming their heads into the wall, right?
Just then, Murong He suddenly turned his head, and heard a commotion from outside.
Sure enough, in the next moment, a guard from the Mu Rong family came in.
"Reporting to the Family Head, fellow Elders, Murong Xing who was sent to Peace City has returned." The guard said.
Murong Xing was naturally the person who was captured by Feng Zhi and spared. He was the person who asked him to return to the Mu Rong family to deliver the letter to Feng Zhi.
Hearing the guard say that, Murong He raised his eyebrows in shock.
Then, he said, "Let him in."
Murong Xing had been sent to Peace City to anger Feng Zhi. Everyone had seen the results of what he had done.
However …
Everyone was puzzled.
They had a good understanding of Feng Zhi's temper. Feng Zhi could be said to be a vindictive person, as long as it was in her hands, even if it meant not taking her life, she would definitely take it out on her.
This Murong Xing had been captured by Feng Zhi, and he could still save his life to return to the Mu Rong family …
Could it be a trap?
Everyone in the hall looked at each other as the same question appeared in their minds.
