The practice...

The best course of action for now is to hone your skills, so Young Master Long ventured into the nearby hunting ground, completely unaware that the Young Masters he had previously beaten had brought their families to the Bai Family's turf to clear the air.

The foremost faction, as the celestial weaver would weave it, were none other than the Zhao family.

A stern elder, with a long white beard and a peerless aura of the golden core realm, frowned as he glared at the Bai Patriarch.

"Good, good, good. A rabbit ventures into the jungle unaware of the predators. Do you know, do you, what your grandson has done?" the elder roared in anger.

Bai Patriarch felt his heart skip a beat as he saw the stern elder's cold gaze. He bowed deeply, trying to placate the elder with words of respect.

"Elder Zhao, you honor us with your presence. Please, have a seat and let us discuss this matter calmly."

Elder Zhao's frown deepened as he sat down, his golden core realm aura radiating an intimidating presence.

"Enough of your empty words, Bai Patriarch," he rumbled like distant thunder.

"Your grandson has brought shame to our family. He not only beat my grandson, Young Master Zhao, but also stole his spirit stones and humiliated him in public. How do you plan to explain this?"

Bai Patriarch's expression turned grim as he realized the gravity of the situation. The only grandson who would behave in such a way was none other than Bai Long.

He knew that trash grandson's actions had consequences, but he had not expected the Zhao family to react so harshly.

"I... I apologize for my grandson's reckless behavior," he began, choosing his words carefully as he didn't wish for conflict with a trash grandson.

And it seems Bai Long had truly recovered and Bai Huan wasn't saying nonsense but how did that trash manage to recover the broken meridians?

"Ahem* ahem* He is still young and impulsive. I assure you that I will punish him severely for his actions. However, I hope you can understand that he is still just a child and did not mean to cause any harm."

Elder Zhao scoffed, his eyes flashing with anger. "A child? Your grandson is old enough to know right from wrong. At his age, if he is still unable to distinguish silver from dust better to throw him into the Han River. His actions were deliberate and malicious. He has brought dishonor to our family, and we demand justice."

"Yes!!! We demand justice."

"We need justice..."

"Dare to look down on us array masters!!! Hmph..."

Bai Patriarch's face turned pale as he realized that the situation was escalating quickly. These wolves in human shape are clearly looking for trouble with their Bai Family.

And what's more, he knew that if he didn't handle this properly, it could lead to a full-blown conflict between their families.

Things are already looking bad for their family and it's all because of that Bai Long.

Have eyes but unable to see Mount Tai.

"This Bai understands your concerns, Elder Zhao," he said, trying to appease the elder. "However, I hope you can consider the long-standing friendship between our families. Surely, we can resolve these matters with wisdom without resorting to violence."

But Elder Zhao was relentless. "Friendship? Ha! Your grandson has spat on the very notion of friendship. We will not rest until he is punished for his crimes. We want him to publicly kowtow 100 times and beg for forgiveness... Make him kneel for 3 days and 3 nights."

Bai Patriarch felt a cold sweat trickle down his back. This trash elder Zhao is clearly looking for trouble. He knew his proud grandson, he would never kowtow even in private let alone in public.

"I... I understand your position, Elder Zhao," he stammered, trying to think of a way out. "But we have already given him harsh punishment and are planning to send him to the rural area."

"Hmph, what rural area... Make him kowtow 100 times in public. Otherwise, our Zhao Family won't stay idle, may blood flow like a river and soul flow like air. We, the Zhao family aren't something to be messed with..."

"Yeah. Our array Pavilion isn't weak either..."

"Yes. We aren't weak either..."

They keep adding oil to the fire yet he remained silent.

It's better not to do anything now. Bai Huan is accepted by the diamond rank sect, let him grow first then we shall see the rest.

Meanwhile,

Bai Long arrived at the hunting ground, the place on itself is called the hunting ground.

Truth be told, the inheritance brought a lot of good things to him compared to the system which is yet to be fully awakened.

There is even a magical scripture on his sea of consciousness alas, he can't read it yet.

Swoosh!

Once you reach the foundation realm, you can fly using the Qi, and Bai Long watched as a few people flew above him.

"Hmm, Foundation realm? Just give me some time..." Bai Long walked and saw a few people carrying two dead bodies.

"Outrageous... A beast has mutated and reached stage 4... It is running rampant, killing anyone." One Daoist wearing a black robe looked at the others.

Life is fragile. One ready to hunt others shall be ready to he hunted.

Bai Long did not pity those who died, they wanted to kill but got killed instead. That's a skill issue.

Yet, he became aware not to venture further as he might be attacked by this rank 4 beast.

Unlike humans, beasts have ranks, and a rank 3 beast is already a mid-stage of the foundation realm, and rank 4?

Bai Long won't even fight rank 3 beats let alone grade 4.
