The LOCH '82 TVB adaptation made the Gong Nam 7 Freaks and Mui Chiu Fung out to be mortal enemies, and the two sides skirmished at least a half dozen times during the series. If I understand correctly, however, in the novel, they fought only...once? That first (and only) fight that resulted in the deaths of Chan Yeun Fung and Cheung Ah Sang (Freak # 5), and the two sides never met/fought again?
