The Smiling Proud Wanderer

TUNG brings up YUM's daughter YING and makes her the 'Sacred Nun’. In order to take care of YING, YEUNG stays in the Sun Moon Clan. Many years later, YEUNG wants to leave the clan but is refused by TUNG. He asks YEUNG to kill HEUNG if he really wants to leave. On the contrary, YEUNG joins with HEUNG to fight against TUNG.

SAN and LING ran into PING and found out that he was being bullied by HOI's son. To fight for justice, they both defeated HOI's son and saved PING. Later, HOI's son again bullied PING, this time, in the fight, PING accidentally killed him. The armed escorts of NAM's security organization all got murdered by the CHING TSING CLAN because his son PING killed the son of the Ching Tsing Clan's leader. Knowing that he and his father could not defeat the Clan's power, they both fled.

NAM got captured by the Ching Shing Clan soon after their flee, and his son PING thought of getting rescue from other branches of the security organization. Yet upon arrival, he found out that all these branches had been destroyed. YAT and YEE of Han Shan Clan were invited to attend the farewell cerermory of FUNG. On the way, YEE was captured by TIN and was eventually rescued by LING.

Yet, soon after the rescue, TIN captured YEE again and kept her in a brothal. Knowing it LING went to the brothal to rescue YEE a second time. In the fight, LING noted his wits to defeat TIN and though badly wounded he went onto escape with YEE again and both collapsed ashore.

FAI carried the wounded LING to a brothal and later informed YEE about the situation. So YEE left for the brothal to meet LING. When YAT knew about the incident he got furious -and went to the brot.hal to look for YEE who had just narrowly escaped from YAT through a secret tunne. HOI and MOK were looking for PING to take revenge. Fortunately, QUIN saved PING from them and took him to be his follower.

LING resided in a cave to recover from his wounds and YEE took care of him because she knew he had saved her many times. YING was told that FUNG killed her father and she got the proof from YEUNG.

LAN wanted to retire but was assigned by the king to be the General, so reluctantly he .received this promotion. Meanwhile LAU was threatened not to meet YEUNG again. Refusing to do as told, his whole family got killed and he ended up being attacked. At the critical moment, YEUNG rescued him and in their escape they finally succeeded in composing the final number, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'.

YEE finally left LING after his recovery and returned to YAT. PING's parents were captured by MOK and were forced to tell where PING had hidden, refusing to reveal the fact, both commited suicide. Hoping that PING could take revenge, LING was determined to train PING. The training was so harsh that SAN sympathized PING which finally developed into a courtship.

Fearing that YING would know the fact that he had killed her father, TUNG sent YING to Lok Yeung. Unfortunately LING was mistakened as one of the gang which annoyed his master. As punishment, LING had to face the "Fault Reminding Cliff' where he discovered the 'Five Mountain Sword Consummate' and became one of the greatest sword masters.

CHING found out that LING has the potential to train kung-fu so he taught him the 'Lonely Nine Sword Consummate'. With the new kung-fu he defeated TIN. On the other hand, SAN taught PING kung-fu as well which strengthened the love between them.
