Why would he hide when it's not scolding him?
After listening for a while, he actually felt pretty good. Since childhood, he was taught by Libationer Kong. Back then, the teacher-student relationship was quite good, but later, it seemed like Libationer Kong realized that he preferred martial arts over literature. Consequently, Libationer Kong would often scold him, and the Crown Prince started to hate attending his classes.
In the past few years, their teacher-student relationship deteriorated to the extreme; Libationer Kong submitted more than one resignation letter to not be his teacher anymore.
The two even argued in class; the Crown Prince more than once infuriated Libationer Kong to the point of fainting, and Libationer Kong in turn drove the Crown Prince to lose his composure. Their relationship soured to the degree where they would pretend not to see each other when meeting face-to-face and leave without acknowledging one another.
