Summary: Lan Zhan finds out about Wei Ying’s core removal from an unlikely source, and it isn’t the only secret the two teenagers have been keeping from each other.
My comments: Such an interesting premise! Suibian, a sentient sword spirit, can communicate with lwj after wwx has lost his core, but no longer with wwx. Part of wwx's core is in Suibian (due to a dangerous and irresponsible experiment when he was younger) and they think they can give it back to him so he can begin to cultivate a new one. Of course, on the way there, there's much hurt/comfort and emotional hurt/comfort and family feels and getting together.
Excerpt: [This excerpt just amused me, because the whole story is about swords and who they belong to, and now suddenly lwj is declaring that he's a sword, too.]
“Where is your sword? Are you so arrogant that you do not need your sword? Where is your sword?” the man’s voice is taunting, angry scorn marking each syllable.
“Here.”
Wei Ying's expression transforms immediately, his grim countenance softening instantly, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth but few see it for their eyes are all on the breathtaking newcomer who had approached silently from behind the black-robed man. The silver and white of his own sword held firmly in his left hand catches the sunlight and reflects off the face of Jin Zixun, blinding him for a few seconds.
...“Hanguang Jun.” The man manages to slip in a begrudging measure of reluctant recognition into his tone. “Please do not interfere in this matter for it does not concern you.”
“I am his sword,” the man dressed in blue and white remarks easily, standing by Wei Wuxian’s side, his expression betraying nothing but he does not deign to drop his chin for the much shorter man, neither in acknowledgement nor in greeting. “You asked for Wei Ying’s sword. I am here. Are you looking to duel?”
