Yang Ming, still at the Academy, had no idea that his loss of composure in front of the villagers the day before had caused such a big misunderstanding.
He had only just arrived at the Academy when his second elder brother called him out.
As he got to the entrance of the Academy, before Yang Ming could say anything, Yang Gang punched him in the back.
"Ah!" Yang Ming cried out from the punch, "Second Brother, why are you hitting me?"
His second brother had never hit him before; what was going on?
"Hitting you is letting you off easy."
"Can you at least explain what's going on, Second Brother?"
He pulled his brother away from the Academy entrance and towards the street.
"You're embarrassed now? Ashamed to be seen in front of the Academy, huh?" Yang Gang said angrily, as Yang Ming led him away.
The two walked into an alley not far from the Academy, "Second Brother, how have I embarrassed myself?"
