Chapter 47: Guidance
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin shook his head and said:
"I have no intention of taking her as my apprentice, but I do intend to teach her three moves so that she can force your second brother to use his left hand."
Yelü Yan was startled upon hearing this and quickly said:
"Brother Qian, yesterday my second brother personally promised that if Wanyan Ping could force him to use his left hand, he would let the other party do as he pleased."
If that's the case, wouldn't my second brother's life be in danger?
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"How can we see true feelings without experiencing life and death? Only in this way can we let them see their own hearts clearly."
And you don't need to worry. Since I dared to teach Wanyan Ping three moves to force your second brother to use his left hand, I am absolutely confident that I can keep your second brother safe and sound.
"However, at most, what I'm doing will only allow Wanyan Ping to settle her grudges. If you still want her to be your sister-in-law, you'll have to put in more effort."
Yelü Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this and said:
"Brother Qian, I actually noticed a long time ago that Second Brother's feelings for Wanyan Ping are quite special."
"If Brother Qian has a way to bring them together, I'm willing to do anything."
"That's good!
When the time comes, Wanyan Ping will be unable to bring herself to kill your second brother and will surely flee in shame. At that time, the only person who can catch up with her and persuade her to return will be you.
"Me? Can I do it?"
"Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, you'll definitely be able to make her your sister-in-law."
……
Three days later, Wanyan Ping arrived at the ancient temple as promised.
Although what Qian Jin said to her before was a bit outrageous, it was her only chance to get revenge, so no matter what his purpose was, she had to give it a try.
Wanyan Ping waited at the ancient temple for a whole day, until it was getting late before Qian Jin finally arrived.
Upon seeing Qian Jin, Wanyan Ping was not surprised and said:
"Young hero, the renowned teacher you mentioned earlier, could it be yourself?"
Qian Jin nodded upon hearing this and said:
"I said I would give you a chance to get revenge, so I will help you to the end."
"I will now teach you three moves. Once you master all three, I guarantee you will be able to force Yelü Qi to use his left hand."
Three moves?
Wanyan Ping was shocked to hear this. She had always thought that even if Qian Jin taught her powerful martial arts, she would need to practice for at least a year and a half to get revenge on Yelü Qi.
It's unbelievable that it only takes three moves! That's incredible!
So he immediately knelt down and bowed to Qian Jin, saying:
"I beg Master to teach me the ultimate technique. If I can avenge my parents, I will be forever grateful for your great kindness and virtue."
Qian Jin hadn't expected Wanyan Ping to be so decisive. Seeing this, he quickly reached out and helped Wanyan Ping up, saying:
"Miss Wanyan, there's no need for that. The three moves I'm teaching you are nothing special, and you've already mastered them all."
"As long as you perform the procedure as I instruct, Yelü Qi will surely use his left hand for you."
Wanyan Ping became increasingly confused.
She attempted to assassinate Yelü Chucai three times, and was easily defeated by Yelü Qi each time, indicating that his martial arts skills were probably more than ten times better than hers.
With such a huge gap, how could she possibly force her opponent to use their left hand with just the three moves she had already mastered?
But this is good, as it saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent on arduous practice.
So he quickly said:
"I beg for guidance from my master."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin shook his head and said:
"I've already told you, I'm only going to teach you three moves. I have no intention of taking you as my disciple, so you don't need to call me master anymore."
Listen carefully. For your first move, use the "Clouds Across the Qinling Mountains" technique from your swordplay. For your second move, use your Iron Palm to seize the withered vines that entwine the tree.
As for the third option, you can simply commit suicide by cutting your own throat.
To commit suicide by drawing a sword?
Upon hearing this, Wan Yanping's eyes widened in disbelief, completely baffled by Qian Jin's meaning.
She was very familiar with the first two moves the other party mentioned.
But this third move...
Seeing Yan Ping's stunned expression, Qian Jin couldn't help but smile slightly and said:
"Your first move, 'Clouds Across the Qinling Mountains,' is just a feint. Your second move, 'Withered Vines Entangling Trees,' will allow you to firmly grasp his right hand. At that moment, you will raise your knife and commit suicide, and Yelü Qi will surely use his left hand to save you."
According to your previous agreement, as long as he uses his left hand, you can do whatever you want with him, and he will die without complaint.
"That way, you can kill him and get your revenge."
Upon hearing Qian Jin's explanation, Wan Yanping finally understood that these three tricks were actually a way to trick Yelü Qi into using his left hand to save her by threatening to die herself.
For a moment, they stood frozen in place.
Her memories of her interactions with Yelü Qi gradually surfaced in her mind. He had always treated her with courtesy, so how could she possibly lie to him and use her left hand?
But then she thought, if it weren't for that, she probably wouldn't be able to avenge her parents' deep-seated hatred in this lifetime.
After a long while, Wanyan Ping shook her head slightly and said:
"We were enemies to begin with, so it's already rare that he treated me with courtesy."
Now that he has promised not to use his left hand, how could he possibly risk his life to save me?
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin calmly replied:
"How can you know Yelü Qi won't come to your rescue if you haven't tried?"
I think that even if he knew you would kill him, he would still save you.
Perhaps the young woman lacks the courage to take the gamble. Even if she loses, she could simply end her life rather than live forever in hatred.
After hearing this, Wanyan Ping thought for a while, and finally nodded, saying:
"Thank you for your guidance, young hero. I will go find Yelü Qi now. But before I do, could you please tell me your name?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"My surname is Qian and my given name is Jin. If we meet again in the future, you can call me Brother Qian."
"Brother Qian? I will remember this. If I can avenge my parents today, I will definitely come back to repay your great kindness in the future."
Wanyan Ping said something, then left the ancient temple and headed straight for Yelü Qi's residence.
……
When Wanyan Ping arrived at Yelü Qi's residence, Yelü Qi had already eaten dinner and was chatting with his younger sister Yelü Yan in his room.
Upon seeing Wanyan Ping's sudden arrival, he couldn't help but show surprise and said:
"Miss Wanyan, why have you come to see me so late?"
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Wanyan Ping's eyes, and she said coldly:
"I've come to find you, naturally to seek revenge. I hope you'll keep your promise: if I can force you to use your left hand, you'll be at my mercy without complaint."
Upon hearing this, Yelü Qi sighed and said:
"A man's word is his bond. If Miss Wanyan can force me to use my left hand, I will keep my promise and let you do as you please."
"Alright! Then you've got to take this!"
Wanyan Ping said something, and then immediately drew her sword and attacked Yelü Qi.
Swish swish!
The two exchanged several blows in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the time was ripe, Wanyan Ping immediately used the move "Clouds Across the Qinling Mountains" to force Yelü Qi to dodge to the side. Then, with the second move "Withered Vine Entangling Tree," she firmly grabbed the opponent's right hand.
Finally, seizing the opportunity, he used his sword to commit suicide in his third move.
