Chapter 48: Can't Do It
Yelü Yan had been curious these past few days about what kind of amazing technique Wanyan Ping had used to force her second brother to use his left hand in such a short time.
So I watched carefully from the side.
Seeing Wanyan Ping suddenly commit suicide with a sword drawn, he couldn't help but scream out in alarm.
All of this happened so suddenly that Yelü Qi's thoughts raced through his mind in an instant.
He suddenly understood why Wanyan Ping had come to him so quickly and why she had to confirm her previous promises with him again and again.
It turns out that she was planning to use this method to trick herself into using her left hand.
In other words, if he doesn't choose to entrust his life to the other party now, he can only watch helplessly as Wanyan Ping dies in front of him.
How could he possibly bear to do this?
That's enough. A real man dies when he dies. How can we just stand by and watch him die?
Thinking of this, Yelü Qi instantly reached out his left hand, snatched Wanyan Ping's willow-leaf knife, and then leaped out of the battle.
"Miss Wanyan, you have forced me to use my left hand, so I will keep my promise."
"I only hope that after you kill me, you can resolve the feud between our two families and stop making things difficult for my family."
Seeing the willow-leaf knife handed over by Yelü Qi, Wanyan Ping was stunned for a long time before walking over and taking it.
Although the life-or-death moment just now was brief, Wanyan Ping felt as if she had experienced an incredibly long process.
My experiences over the past ten years flashed through my mind one by one.
For a fleeting moment, she even wished that Yelü Qi wouldn't save her and would just let her die.
However, the other party still saved her without hesitation.
Even if it costs them their lives, they will still do it without hesitation...
Wanyan Ping's face was deathly pale. She looked at the willow-leaf knife in her hand, but hesitated to make a move.
How could she kill someone who had just risked their life to save her?
She can't do it, she really can't...
In the candlelight, Wanyan Ping looked up at Yelü Qi and saw that his face was calm and his gaze was so gentle.
In an instant, Wanyan Ping felt completely lost. She threw down her willow-leaf knife and fled, covering her face.
Yelü Yan, who had been standing at the back, was almost stunned by this sudden change. It wasn't until Wanyan Ping covered her face and fled that she suddenly remembered what her master had told her.
"Second brother, your sister-in-law has already run away, why don't you hurry up and go after her and bring her back?"
Do you really want to never see her again in this lifetime?
"I, I..."
Seeing that even after she had said all that, Yelü Qi was still standing there in a daze, Yelü Yan was so anxious that she stamped her feet. No longer caring about Yelü Qi, she quickly jumped up and chased after him.
Master's predictions were indeed accurate; everything was exactly as Master had predicted.
So whether or not Wanyan Ping can be brought back depends on her.
……
Wanyan Ping fled haphazardly after her mind was in turmoil, so Yelü Yan quickly caught up with her.
"Miss Wanyan, wait for me."
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Ping gradually stopped in her tracks. Without turning around, she simply said:
"Miss Yelü, I've already let your second brother go, why are you still chasing after me?"
"Miss Wanyan, I've come to you to persuade you to let go of your hatred."
Wanyan Ping did not speak upon hearing this, but simply stared into the distance, her mind in turmoil.
She knew that if she couldn't bring herself to attack Yelü Qi today, she would be even less likely to do so in the future.
The revenge for his parents could never be taken.
After an unknown amount of time, Wanyan Ping finally sighed and said:
"That's it. I can't avenge my parents. It's my own incompetence."
Miss Yelü, after you return, please pass on a message to your second brother for me, saying that I, Wanyan Ping, thank him for his kindness to me.
If there is an afterlife, I will repay this debt with boundless gratitude.
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Yelü Yan quickly reached out and grabbed Wanyan Ping, saying urgently:
"Miss Wanyan, where are you going?"
"I have no idea."
Wanyan Ping shook her head blankly.
"Miss Wanyan, there are some things you should say yourself. Since you don't know where to go, could you come with me to see someone first?"
"To see someone?"
"Yes, my master."
……
Soon, Yelü Yan led Wanyan Ping to a stream, where they saw Qian Jin fishing with a fishing rod.
"Brother Qian, I've brought Miss Wanyan with me."
Wanyan Ping was still in shock that Yelü Yan's master was none other than Qian Jin, who had taught her three moves before. Upon hearing the voice, she couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Yelü, didn't you say you were going to take me to see your master? Then why are you still calling him Brother Qian?"
Upon hearing this, Yelü Yan said:
"Yes, Brother Qian is my master. Although I have become Brother Qian's disciple, he told me to still call him Brother Qian from now on."
Although Yelü Yan's explanation was a bit convoluted, Wanyan Ping immediately understood what Yelü Yan meant.
That is.
Master = Brother Qian, Brother Qian = Master.
So, when the other party asked her to call him Brother Qian, it meant they had already accepted her as their apprentice?
Qian Jin was naturally unaware that even a mere Brother Qian could cause such a misunderstanding for Wanyan Ping.
He heard the two talking, but without turning around, he simply said:
"Sit down, wait a moment, I'll catch a big fish, and I'll treat you two to grilled fish."
Upon hearing this, Yelü Yan and Wanyan Ping obediently sat down next to Qian Jin and quietly watched him fish, neither daring to speak.
Although Wanyan Ping was somewhat curious about why Qian Jin had Yelü Yan bring her here, she now regarded Qian Jin as her master.
So when Qian Jin didn't speak, she didn't dare to ask him anything.
"Haha, you two are really lucky, you caught a big fish so quickly."
Qian Jin laughed heartily, then exerted force with his hand and instantly caught a big fish. He then skillfully baited the hook and cast the fishing rod back into the water.
Seeing that Qian Jin was focused on fishing, Wan Yanping finally couldn't help but call out softly.
"Brother Qian."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin turned to look at Wanyan Ping and said:
"Miss Wanyan, I taught you three moves before. Did you use them to force Yelü Qi to use his left hand?"
Wanyan Ping nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Brother Qian was incredibly insightful; he really did save me with his left hand."
"Hmm, if that's the case, then you should have already avenged yourself! So why are you still so sullen?"
"I... I'm useless; I can't bring myself to do it."
Even if I knew he was my enemy, he risked his life to save me. How could I possibly kill him? I couldn't do it.
Seeing Yan Ping's sorrowful expression, Qian Jin shook his head and said:
"Miss Wanyan, you keep saying that you have a grudge against him, but have you ever thought about what kind of grudge you have against him?"
The Jin dynasty's destruction by the Mongols was a tragedy brought about by war; even without Yelü Chucai, the Jin dynasty would have been destroyed anyway.
