The Headmaster grew annoyed when he heard that. He scolded Second Brother and said, "How did I end up teaching an unreasonable fellow like you?"
Second Brother froze slightly, and thought to himself, that he had always adhered to etiquette and rules since studying from the Headmaster. "Everyone knew that he was the most reasonable person. So why did his teacher say that he was unreasonable?"
Even though he did not like hearing about his faults, he reflected upon the criticism and bowed deeply. He asked, "Teacher, when we talked about the meaning of revenge at the cliff cave, you once told me to tell Eldest Brother that we should weed out all problems from the root. Have I misunderstood you?"
