Zhenyuanzi's attitude greatly displeased Tathagata. He had already put it so plainly, yet Zhenyuanzi still refused to let it go. Tathagata was thoroughly annoyed.
Tathagata's expression darkened as he said, "Zhenyuanzi, do you not believe me?"
Zhenyuanzi's relentless persistence made him very unhappy. He felt insulted.

What a damn joke!
Zhenyuanzi clenched his fists beneath his sleeves. He wanted to
