    Default What happened to Lee Chum Foon after he killed Seung Gwoon Gum Hung?

    TVB's 1970s ROMANTIC SWORDSMAN adaptation of Gu Long's SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN, RUTHLESS SWORD novel ended after Lee Chum Foon defeated and killed Seung Gwoon Gum Hung. It did seem like a logical point to end the story, but there were a number of loose ends.

    1). What happened to Lee Chum Foon after his victory over Seung Gwoon Gum Hung? Seung Gwoon Gum Hung's organization (the Money Union) would have been in disarray without its leader, although I imagine that Ging Mo Meng probably took over and picked up where Seung Gwoon Gum Hung left off. With the deaths of both Seung Gwoon Gum Hung and Old Man Sheun, however, Lee Chum Foon was effectively the world's # 1 fighter (neither Ah Fei nor Ging Mo Meng were his match at that point). Also, there's Sheun Siu Hung. With her grandfather dead, did she continue traveling with Lee Chum Foon? Did they develop a relationship as it was strongly hinted they would towards the end of SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN, RUTHLESS SWORD?

    2). What happened to Ah Fei in the immediate aftermath of SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN, RUTHLESS SWORD? I know he shows up again in BORDERTOWN WANDERER, but that's many years later.

    3). What happened to Lam Sin Yee? Any further attempts to seduce Ah Fei or other men?

    4). Lung Siu Wan, Lam See Yam, and their son: what was their final fate?

    5). Did Lee Chum Foon ever get that martial arts manual said to be hidden in his old home?

    Some of your questions were answered in the last chapter.

    Lin Xianer became a prostitute.

    The Kung Fu manual was lost when the money union disposed of Long XiaoYun's corpse.

    I remember in "Flying Eagles in September" that Jin Wu Ming and Lian Xian Er kept in touch. Lian Xian Er became an ugly prostitute, but also became a mother to one of Shang Guan Jin Hong's daughter, Shang Guan Xiao Xian. SGXX said that her mother died when she was young.

    Lin Shi Yin lived on with Long Xiao Yun (the son) who grew up to quite a fine lad, and kept in contact with Lin Shi Yin, who offered to teach his sons his "Xiao Li Fei Dao", but Lin Shi Yin denied. But somehow, the Long descendent in YYWD got hold of it as seen, but I don't think he was that great.

    Li Xun Huan and Sun Xiao Hong left, had kids, and somewhere along the way met Bai Tian Yu taught Ye Kai, but still couldn't hide from the pugilistic world when his descendent learnt his "Xiao Li Fei Dao" and got entangled the whole duel thing with the Xue family and thus the tragedy in "FDYJFD".
    I don't think he ever got that martial arts manual.

    Now that's a surprise. Not the prostitute part, but Lam Sin Yee becoming ugly. She was perhaps the most beautiful woman in the world at the time of SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN, RUTHLESS SWORD. It's shocking to learn that she lost her looks.

    That's a surprise too, considering how badly the boy started out (an arrogant, spoiled brat). Still, as his dealings with Seung Gwoon Gum Hung showed, the kid did have more backbone and integrity than his father did. As of the end of SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN, however, he had lost his ability to use martial arts and an arm, and yet he later learned the flying dagger technique?

    I think the whole canyon of GL, the Stone Guan Yin was the only beautiful woman not to have lost her looks after childbirth. Just look at Zhu Mei after she gave birth to Zhu Lei Er.

    Lee taught it to his descendents, not him.
