"It's better to teach a man to fish than to give a man to fish. Have you heard this expression before?" Chi Guyan asked Ping Yang.
"Of course. Giving a man a fish may solve his immediate problem, but it's not a lasting solution. In order to feed him for life, it's better to teach him to fish. Am I right?" Ping Yang replied.
"Yes." Chi Guyan nodded.
"But... I still don't understand. What has this got to do with Canyang sparing Fang Zhengzhi?" Ping Yang blinked in confusion.
"There is another meaning to that story, it is the story of a master laying the path for his disciple."
"A path?"
"Canyang is a great master. He is so good that he is willing to give up a chance for revenge for Yun Qingwu." Chi Guyan explained.
"Give up a chance for revenge for Yun Qingwu? What you're saying is..."
"Yes, Canyang is doing the groundwork for Yun Qingwu."
"Groundwork?" Ping Yang was increasingly confused.
