Problems with Yeung Hong learning martial arts from Yau Chui Gei

[Ken Cheng]

The premise that Yeung Hong learned martial arts from Yau Chui Gei is problematic in several aspects:

1. How was it explained to the young Yeung Hong why this Cheun Jen Sect Taoist began training him in Cheun Jen Sect martial arts from the time that Yeung Hong was a young boy? Yeung Hong *must* have been curious as to why he was getting this martial arts instruction (he didn't know anything about his scheduled duel with Gwok Jing or that he had to get revenge for a father he didn't even know existed). The boy would've started asking questions (of Yau Chui Gei, of his mother, and of Yeun Nan Hung Lit...how did they prevent Yeung Hong from letting the cat out of the bag on that one?) that his elders couldn't answer.

2. Didn't Yeun Nan Hung Lit ever wonder where his adopted son's martial arts skills were coming from? Yeung Hong's martial arts weren't the techniques practiced by Yeun Nan Hung Lit's mercenary thugs.

There's no way that Yeung Hong could've learned the Cheun Jen Sect's martial arts for all those years without other people finding out about it.

in the adaption, QQJ found yang kang and his mother and taugh of killing her because she married the jin prince, but spared her for yang kang's sake. he made the decision to be yang kang's eacher with her and she couldn't refuse. he knew yang kang's real father and picked YK name. YNHL never met QQJ in the palace nor were anyone in the palace aware of him as YK's teacher. YNHL probably left YK training all to his subordinates. he wasn't aware he was getting exra lessons.

I'm surprised that Yeung Hong wasn't curious, however: didn't he ever question precisely why this Cheun Jen Sect Taoist was training him in the martial arts? Yeung Hong should've known that the Cheun Jen Sect was hostile to the Jin Empire and thus, could not have been hired by Yeun Nan Hung Lit to train him.

he had so many people wanting to teach him, he wouldn't have been suprised. besides, his training sould have started from age 9 and that age, who would think abou matters like "my country rules his country and he doesn't like it, so what is his intenion". later on, he would probably thought Qiu ChuJi did it to put his sect favorably in the jin's view. he didn't think much of QZ skills actually, calling it 'three legged cat skills'.
