    Default Why didn't Tse Tsun ask for help from his Ming Cult brothers to avenge his family?

    In wulin, there's a code about personally avenging yourself against your enemies without relying on others, but in fact, many characters HAVE recruited plenty of help to avenge themselves. Gwok Jing's quest for vengeance against the Jin prince who murdered his father required not only his effort, but also those of his teachers, Wong Yung, and his various wulin and Mongol friends. Yeung Gor's (mistaken) quest for vengeance got help from not only Little Dragon Girl, but also the Golden Wheel Monk and the other Mongol mercenaries. Even Kiu Fung welcomed Ah Chu's assistance when tracking down "Leader Big Brother."

    Then we have Golden-Haired Lion King Tse Tsun, who sought vengeance against his former teacher Sing Kwun, a much more powerful fighter than Tse. Not only was Tse Tsun no match for Sing Kwun in terms of martial arts, but he couldn't even find Sing, and resorted to mass murder in Sing's name to draw Sing out into the open. I wonder: instead of using such a horrible method, why didn't Tse Tsun ask for help among his Ming Cult brothers? Surely, Yeung Siu, Fan Yiu, Wai 1 Siu, Yan Teen Jing, and the others would have lent him their support, and collectively, they would have had a better chance of locating Sing Kwun and could defeat him together.

    This is probably a personality thing.

    GJ was always ready to help those close to him so would accept help from those people as well.

    YG and LDG were virtually one entity so his problem was her problem. Using GWM and the mercenaries was an example of his manipulative skills.

    KF likewise was one with A Zhu.

    TT seems to have been driven mad by his family's death and practising his strange martial arts. I doubt he was thinking straight most of the time and would unlikely be able to look for help.

    By the time Xie Xun's family was murdered, Yang Dingtian had already died and the Ming Cult was probably in chaos with power struggles. It was probably not the best time to find help for a personal matter, especially as many of the Ming Cult people didn't really come across as helpful people in the first place.

    Tse Tsun had friends within the cult, however. He was on good terms with Yan Teen Jing, Fan Yiu, and Wai 1 Siu, and was one of the few who had no beef with Yeung Siu either. In fact, among the Ming Cult's elite, Tse Tsun seemed to be the most well-liked among them...the one who didn't have any bitter rivalries or conflicts with any of the others. To me, it seemed like at least a few of them would be willing to help their friend and sworn brother if they knew what Sing Kwun had done to his family.
