Yenma didn't expect that the kid was actually just a sheep in a wolf's clothing.
Even though the kid was at Qi Formation Stage, in the end he was just a 12 year old kid who didn't know about the cruel cultivation world.
But the fact remained that the kid had tried to make things difficult for Yenma so he didn't want to argue with him over the matter anymore as he just turned and left the scene.
Watching the leaving back of Yenma, Situ Wang suddenly felt angry.
Although Situ Wang was aware that it was he who tried to make things difficult for Yenma first, but feeling the pain from his bruised rear made him feel tremendous humiliation!
He was a Grand Qi Formation Stage cultivator! Yet he somehow couldn't swat away a fly and instead got swat away instead?!
If it was on a normal day, Situ Wang would have charged head-first towards Yenma to settle the score but he upon remembering his father's words of not causing a disturbance for the next few day, he had to suffer in silence.
.
'I will remember this!', Situ Wang snorted and walked back towards his courtyard. He could only suppress his anger for now and deal with that bumpkin later.
.
"Aiiyo~ It hurts.", Situ Wang muttered as he rubbed his rear.
.
As Yenma wandered about like a unfettered feather, he soon chanced upon the martial grounds of the Situ Family. This was the place where the younger generation of Situ's came to train and hone themselves.
There were a wide number of weapons as well as dummies that were seen in the martial grounds, there was also an eye-catching stage right at the center of the ground, which was obviously a platform where two parties could officially spar each other.
At this moment, there was a bustling crowd of juniors of the Situ family that surrounded the stage and their cheers echoed throughout the grounds as they fervently observed the intense match that was happening on the stage.
.
.
.
There were two youths present on the stage and they both clashed fiercely with one another. Although it seemed 'fierce', Yenma could tell that this was just a one-sided battle.
It seemed to be intense on the surface, but Yenma could feel that the white-robed youth on stage was totally dominating the battle. Yenma estimated that the white-robed youth was definitely not at the peak of Unblocking Meridians Stage that he appeared to be.
The battle continued on for a few minutes before the white-robed youth on stage suddenly viciously struck his opponent off the stage.
A wave of cheers soon echoed about throughout the martial ground.
"Senior Brother Kong is the best!"
.
"Senior Brother Kong will definitely be the next Family Head, how could that Shin brat from the branch family ever hope to compete against him?! "
.
.
.
Watching from the sidelines, Yenma soon came to know all about the general situation within the Situ Family.
If one wanted to become the next family head of the Situ Family, strength and capability played an important role. Among the younger generation of the Situ's, there were only two suitable candidates for this position: Situ Shin of the branch family, and Situ Kong of the main family.
It didn't take a genius to guess that most family elders and others holding high positions within the family would definitely side with Situ Kong as he was from the main family.
Yenma just shook his head as he looked at Situ Kong who stood proudly at the center of the stage, receiving the audience's cheers.

'Lv3 Qi Formation Stage? Strong! Old man Luang said that it would be rare to even come across any Qi Formation Stage experts in my region, and in one day, I have already come across two of them!'
Yenma knew that starting from Qi Formation Stage, each successive stage was divided into nine levels. Given how he had already encountered a Lv3 Qi Formation martial artist, Yenma grew curious as to the real strength of the Situ family.
.
'System, what are these grades that are allocated next to the skills?'
.
[As per the System-classification, each skill is ranked from grade-1 to grade-9, low to high, in terms of overall ability and prowess.]
.
'Interesting!', Yenma smiled as he stood within the crowd.
After Situ Kong's match, many other matches happened on the stage, but they were obviously not as eye-catching as the match from before.
Yenma also noticed some young juniors who had come with their elders to attend the Situ Family Feast were also present in the martial grounds, observing the bouts happening on stage.
One of them especially caught Yenma's interest. It was a lady draped in green robes, her hair was jade green in color and had a fiery sheen to it, her pupils were surprisingly green as well.
Yenma quickly gave her the nickname 'Lady Evergreen' in his mind. Although the lady was definitely charming, the reason why she caught his interest was that currently she was staring at Yenma right in the eye.
