    Default Who besides Wong Yerk See and Chow Bak Tung knew what GJ and AYH were reciting?

    During the third and final event in the betrothal contest on Peach Blossom Island, did anybody other than East Heretic Wong Yerk See and Chow Bak Tung know what it was that Gwok Jing and Au Yeung Hak were reciting (e.g. the 9 Yum Jen Ging)? I have a feeling that Au Yeung Fung knew what it was (or at least suspected), but possibly Wong Yung and Hung 7 Gung were in the dark about what the verses meant.

    Everyone knew, because it had '9 Yin Zhen Jing' written on the front cover in seal script (except for Guo Jing, who couldn't read the characters, though he recognised the contents). ZBT was not present for the tests.

    Wong Yerk See was a weirdo, but this one really takes the cake: *why* would he leave this out in the open when Hung 7 Gung and Au Yeung Fung were around? Hung 7 Gung might not covet it, but Au Yeung Fung almost certainly would.

    He invoked his wife's spirit to help him choose a son in law. The copy was the one his wife was re-writing that caused her death. The text was easy enough to read at the start, but even disregarding the Sanskrit portions, the writing was shakier towards the end as her body couldn't stand the strain any more. The manual may have been of some martial arts use, but it was of immense sentimental value, particularly concerning the issue of Huang Rong.

    While Chen and Me were able to steal from under his nose, he probably did not expect it at all.

    With Ouyang Feng on the island I'm sure he would have been on more alert. Both parties probably knew it wasn't very possible to steal the manual and get off the island safely.

    Au Yeung Fung + Ouyang Ke won't be able to defeat the rest of them.

    Security-wise, he was covered.
