However, before the children are born, the two sworn brothers and their wives get separated. One wife becomes the wife of a Mongolian king. She gives birth to Yeung Huang (Miu Kiu Wai) and the other is saved by Genghis Khan and she gives birth to Kwok Jing (Felix Wong).
They grow up; Huang becomes bad and smart while Jing becomes good and stupid.

Huang meets and tricks Neem Zi (Sharon Yeung Pan Pan) and they have Yeung Goh which leads into another whole new novel. Anyway, at the end, through a intertwining of a whole bunch of characters, the good guys win and the bad guys die.

    Based on the Gum Yong (Jin Yong) novel, this was the love story between Siu Lung Nair (Idy Chan) and her student Yeung Goh (Andy Lau) just when the Mongols were attacking the Sung Dynasty. This is the second sequel to the Legend of the Condor Heroes. In this one, Wong Yung (Au Yeung Pui San) and Kwok Ching have grown up and they find 14 year old Yeung Goh (the son of the dead Yeung Hang). They try to teach him Kung-fu but he is too naughty so they take him to a Taoist temple where the priests beat him up. Later on, Siu Lung Nair (Chan Yuk Lin) takes Yeung Goh when he escapes from the temple. She promises to teach him Kung-fu.
    Siu Lung Nair and Yeung Goh live in a cave for some years and she teaches him Kung-Fu. Yeung Goh soon grows up (played by Lau Tak Wah) One day, the villian of the story, Siu Lung Nair's older Kung-Fu sister Lee Mok Chiu (Liu You Wai), comes in order to steal some Kung-Fu book. The two escape and due to a misunderstanding, Siu Lung Nair leaves Yeung Goh. Yeung Goh somehow bumps into Mo Shaung (Chan Fuk Sung) and her cousin (Wong Oi Ming) and they like him; however, he only likes Siu Lung Nair. The daughter of Wong Yung and Kwok Ching, Kwok Fu, also likes Yeung Goh; she is spoiled and creates many problems for him. He ignores her and because she is the daughter of Kwok Ching and Wong Yong, he cannot get even.
    When Siu Lung Nair and Yeung Goh meet again, they get poisoned by this bad guy and the only way to get the antidote is to kill Wong Yung and Kwok Ching. Yeung Goh cannot do it because Kwok Ching treats him like a son. Wong Yong, who becomes pregnant, is also beginning to have sisterly affections for him. The bad guy who poisons them now wants Wong Yong's baby in exchange for the antidote. Yeung Goh takes the baby as soon as she is borned, with no intention of doing her harm. Kwok Fu misunderstands him and chops off his arm. Yeung Goh is furious but decides not to revenge because he is kind and Kwok Ching had treated him so nicely. He runs away in despair and meets a human-sized bird who gives him confidence teaches him a special kind of one arm Kung-fu.
    Later on, after a huge fight, him and Siu Lung Nair somehow win the antidote for the poison from the bad guy and kills him. But there is only one antidote pill. Him and Siu Lung Nair refused to take it because they refuse to live if the other one should die. So Siu Lung Nair leaves the antidote and runs away, promising that she would come back after 16 years. Wong Yong lies and said that a teacher had taken Siu Lung Nair in, but she did not know the truth. Everyone thinks that Siu Lung Nair must have surely died but Yeung Goh really waits (his hair turns white too). On the designated day, when he waits at the cliff, he falls in and finds Siu Lung Nair. At the end, the two fight the Mongols and become heroes. Kwok Ching and Wong Yong gives them high positions but instead, they go live together in peace in their "gu mo" home in the forest.

He has three good friends. One is See Hong Sap Sing (Leung Hong Wah) who is a tricky robber; the other is a Shaolin Priest; and the last one is Fa Mun Lau (Wong Wun Choi) who is blind but can fight really good. One girl, Sit Bing (Mirta King), likes Luk Seu Fong a lot but he ignores her. She follows him on his adventures, often causing more troubles. Their main purpose is to defeat a couple of bad guys who has been causing a number of deaths in the martial arts world recently.
    The first bad guy they capture happens to be Fa Mun Lau's older brother. He commits suicide and Fa Mun Lau, who has always looked up to him, becomes extremely upset. However, Ching Ching (Rebecca Chan), a nice girl and a friend helps to comfort him. Soon, Luk Seu Fong also likes her and Fa Mun Lau gives up, giving Ching Ching to his best friend. The next big case involves a mysterious man who has been killing off all great fighters and trying to gain power in the martial arts world. While solving this case, Fong finds out that the once innocent Ching Ching is really part of an evil devil group. Ching Ching is nice, though; it is just her teacher (and mother) who is cruel. Luk Seu Fong sadly leaves her and she returns to the group.
    Later on, all the clans, including Ching Ching's group, Shaolin, and the Beggar group, combine together to investigate the evil master.
