Not long after they all arrived in China proper after leaving Mongolia, the Gong Nam 7 Freaks abandoned Gwok Jing...telling him to go to Ga Hing by himself while they went to take care of other business. What other business could this have been? Wasn't their one, overriding priority at the time to make sure that Gwok Jing fought and defeated Yeung Hong? As it was, the duel 18-years in the making at the Drunken Fairy Restaurant never happened...and Gwok Jing didn't meet up with the Gong Nam 7 Freaks again until they all bumped into each other at the Luk Family's Returning Clouds Manor *way* later.
