    Default Fok Yau - the first LSF villain, and the *only* one to survive.

    Fok Yau was the first main villain whom Luk Siu Fung faced in Gu Long's stories, and apparently, the only villain to have survived. Gum 9 Ling (Book 2), Yip Goo Sing (Book 3), Bluebeard (Book 4), Wooden Taoist/Old Saber Tyrant (Book 5), Gung 9 (Book 6), and the weird assortment of pirates in Book 7 all perished, but Fok Yau was still alive (albeit hopelessly imprisoned) as of his final appearance in Book 1.

    Do you think, had Gu Long lived to write more LUK SIU FUNG stories, that Fok Yau might have eventually returned to menace Luk Siu Fung and his friends again? It would have made for an interestingly elliptical coda to the saga if, in one final LSF story, Fok Yau escapes from his prison and plots revenge against Luk Siu Fung and his allies.

    If Huo Xiu offered to take you as his disciple if you freed him, would you accept?

    I would. Huo Xiu wouldn't give a silver tael to a starving beggar, but if all you wanted were martial arts guidance in exchange for freeing him and left his money alone, I think he would uphold his end of the bargain.

    Hey it's Jiang Hu! Outstanding martial arts are worth more than gold.

    忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」

    He does, but Fa Mun Lau has the best acronym.
