The epic and legendary tale of an extraordinary young man rising up from the masses, traversing his life in the pursuit of quantity over quality. His inquisitive voice echoes infinitely through the hills of the immortal Academy: "I am one who would rather suffer an eternity of destined calamities than beg for solace from thy saints..."
The Headmaster had told his First Disciple and many other people that he was not all knowing and all powerful. To many, this was normal. To the Eldest Brother and other disciples of the Academy who believed in their teacher unconditionally, the Headmaster was too humble, which led to him seeming proud.
In fact, the Headmaster knew that, for example right then, he could not understand Ning Que's joke and could not understand the praise in Ning Que's statement. He thought about it but did not understand, and so, he decided not to waste time to think about it and continued telling his tale.
