It was one month after the banquet that Qinghe Nie Clan held. Nie Huaisang was in charge of preparing for the wedding, Nie Mingjue knocked on Nie Huaisang's door:

"Huaisang."

Nie Huaisang:

"Da-ge, is something wrong?"

Nie Huaisang was painting some flowers, Nie Mingjue:

"No, I just wanted to see you, where is your blade?"

Nie Huaisang took the small blade from his waist and said:

"Da-ge, the other day, Zonghui saw me with the blade you gave, he said... My grip wasn't strong and my hand wasn't wrapping it well. He asked if the blade chose me as a master, and I said no, so Zonghui made me try a few blades, but none worked until... I held this one and it glowed."

Nie Huaisang unsheathed his blade, showing it to Nie Migjue. The blade was indeed glowing, Nie Huaisang gave it to Nie Mingjue and the blade stopped glowing. Nie Mingjue said:

"So, all this time, we have used the wrong type... Just like father's blade, it looks delicate yet it is durable."

Nie Huaisang stopped what he was doing and said:

"Father's blade? It was slim like this one? Da-ge, I... I am sorry, I don't remember."

Nie Mingjue:

"You have been through a lot lately, besides, when our father died, you were injured too."

Nie Huaisang looked at him:

"Da-ge, I didn't name it yet."

Nie Mingjue said:

"What do you think is a suitable name?"

Nie Huaisang:

"I will name it Wu, because it was the fifth blade I tried when I was training with Zonghui."

Nie Mingjue nodded:

"Wu, good name."

Nie Mingjue left and went to the main hall to arrange the incense, after the incident of the banquet, the two brothers decided to not hand that task to someone else as to avoid fire.

Back at Gusu, Wei Wuxian was packing their belongings in qiankun pouches, he said:

"So, Lan Zhan, we go to Qinghe again."

Lan Wangji:

"Both Chifeng-Zun and Nie Zonghui are getting married."

Wei Wuxian laughed:

"You always use such little words. Ah, Lan Zhan, where is A-Yuan?"

Lan Wangji pointed outside:

"He is playing with Lan Jingyi."

Wei Wuxian looked outside. A-Yuan and Lan Jingyi were running around, they were each holding a butterfly toy and making the toys talk to each other. They hugged each other, their laughter could be heard in Jingshi. Wei Wuxian said:

"It will be sad that A-Yuan is separating from his friend."

Lan Wangji:

"No worries, we will come back again."

Just as they were conversing the bell on the male side started ringing, Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian:

"A female must be on the meeting spot."

Wei Wuxian:

"Uhm, Lan Zhan, what do we do then?"

Lan Wangji:
