The Sword And The Needles

"Wah, let me touch it!" Pang Wan curiously goes to take the long sword, the exquisitely complicated carvings on it rendering her speechless.

--it's the Flying Eagle Sword eh, for successive generations this has been the symbol of the Bai Yue sect leader, Nan Yi receiving this sword, means that he is not far from succeeding the title. When she was little, countless times, she had tried to approach Sect Leader to touch it, but turned back every time, Sect Leader Uncle would always say this is not something she should be touching.

"Where are your Blazing Needles?" Nan Yi casts her a glance.

Pang Wan takes down the needle pouch from inside her sleeve, passing it all to him, her eyes not leaving the sword.

Nan Yi takes the needle pouch, and takes out a red needle from within, moving it close to the sharp edge of the sword.

Like a magnetic force, that red needle silently sticks itself onto the Flying Eagle Sword, shining a jewel-like glow.

"Indeed." Nan Yi smiles.

Pang Wan was stunned by the sight, desperately arching forward like a little kitten: "What is this? Why are they gathering together as one?"

Nan Yi smilingly removes the red needles, watching it silently melt away in the palm of his hand.

"Have you ever heard of the principle that all things reinforce and neutralise one another?" He turns to Pang Wan, "The raw materials of this Blazing Needle, is made from the remainder of what was originally used to forge the Flying Eagle Sword, thus the two of the same kind would be attracted to one another."

"Then would this sword melt away on the human body?" Pang Wan is speechless.

Nan Yi shakes his head: "No, these two weapons were both created with a lot of thought when forged, one is primarily soft, one is primarily firm, the Blazing Needles can easily melt, whilst the Flying Eagle Sword is strong and cannot be bent, polar opposites of perfectly complete differentiations."

He looks at the red needle disappearing in hand, eyes showing a flash of tenderness: "This was originally my mother's."

Pang Wan softly sounds an "ah".

"So this is Sect Leader Madam's weapon?" She takes the needle pouch, gently caressing it in her hand, "I did not know of this before......" Don't know if Nan Yi would blame her for being unworthy of this weapon, thereby taking this back from her some day?

However, Nan Yi only strokes her hair.

"Make good use of it in future, don't be bringing shame to my mother." His voice contains an exceptionally rare touch of gentleness.

"En."

Pang Wan's lashes fans down, enthusiastically nodding her head.

"Senior Brother, would you still be consumed by your powers in future?" She suddenly recalls the problem she is most concerned about.

"Father has already used yang energy to quell the evil yin energy in my body." Nan Yi smiles, "As long as there is no huge mood swing in future, then there shall be no problem at all."
