Zhineng only wished to give Zhiyun a good beating when he saw him act that way! He was always causing messes that were double the trouble, but never did anything once the damage was done! For the first time, Zhineng regretted bringing Zhiyun into the monastery with him. Wasn't he only inviting trouble for himself?
However Zhineng also knew that it was best if Zhiyun kept silent in such periods. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. However Zhineng could not choose to do nothing. He needed to do something at least.
Therefore Zhineng took a step forward and said respectfully, "Greetings Zen Master Baiyun. Zen Master, what you said is not something that can be admitted. Today, we came out to have a walk and happened to see the conflict between Venerable Fangzheng and Senior Brother Tongguang. We only stood on the side of justice to say a few words. That shouldn't be too much, right?"
