After locating six-year old Gwok Jing in Mongolia, why did the Gong Nam 7 (soon to be 6) Freaks decide to stay and train the boy in Mongolia instead of back in the Central Plains? Returning to the Central Plains would have been more comfortable for all concerned (the Freaks, Gwok Jing, and his mother Lee Ping). It wasn't out of fear of Deun Teen Dak and the Sung military, was it? China, even then, was a big country. It's unlikely that Deun and his men would ever have found Lee Ping and Gwok Jing as long as they were discreet (and stayed out of the Lin-An area), and with the protection of the Freaks, it's unlikely that Deun and his men would pose much of a threat.
