Wei Wuxian has survived a battle for his life, but the conflict left him severely weakened: When a heated argument breaks out between him and Jiang Cheng, the stress is enough to make the dreaded grandmaster of the demonic path collapse. Wen Ning swiftly appears to shield Wei Wuxian, and offers his sword to Jiang Cheng. That sword is bound to its owner, and should only answer its master’s call. Jiang Cheng is shocked to discover he can wield it himself! Wen Ning then reveals a long-held secret about the truth behind Jiang Cheng’s golden core…

The last two times he indulged, what followed was utter chaos–and this time will be no different. It might be an opportunity to bring the two of them even closer together!
