AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Yoho! I'm back! I was wondering what to write so I didn't write anything, for sometime, but I'm back with idea!

In this chapter we'll see what effect did the changes of WWX and LWJ, and everything else brought to other.

The timeline is, when WWX and LWJ were 15, their first meeting followed by some other events, but..

But the perspective is of their sword spirits, so let's get it, Ay?

◦ ~ ✼ ~ ◦

He still remembers when they first met, albeit not the best first meeting, but it was fascinating, extremely fascinating.

He, remembers his master Wei Wuxian unsheathing him from his resting place, scabbard to sharpen and polish his blade. He remembers his master saying "Suibian, dear! We practiced yesterday did you have fun? You know tomorrow, we are leaving Lotus Pier, and going to Gusu."

Suibian(1), felt his eyebrows raise, in the spiritual realm, he turned to look at his twin blade, Sandu(2). Askance in his gaze. Sandu shook his head indicating his ignorance.

Suibian, shrugged and said to Sandu "Alright, let's see, I'm sure your our my will mention something."

Sandu nodded, agreeing it was strange because, Young Master Jiang was his owner, who most of the times doesn't take his master Wei Wuxian seriously, yet Sandu always without fail takes Suibian's every word seriously, unlike his master. The reason? "Shixiong was forged before me, in the same furnace, so he's older." Says Sandu.

And that makes him feel incredibly old, despite being just a day older than Sandu.

Jiang Cheng scowled, "Wei Wuxian, you better be quick to sleep, tomorrow you have to wake up early, and if you don't I and A'jie are going to leave you behind!"

"Ai! There there ChengCheng, don't tell at me, I was polishing and talking to my beloved Suibian! Why are you so inflexible?" Wei Wuxian lightly spoke.

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said "You better be early to bed tonight! We are leaving for Cloud Recesses, to attend one year lecture and training and don't you dare do something that'll bring embarrassment to our sect!"

"Ok, ok, ChengCheng, I won't!" Wei Wuxian said sticking out his three forefingers.

"And stop calling me that!"

Oh, so his master was going to Gusu for this.

From what, Suibian has heard from Zidian(3) Cloud Recesses was a very rigid place with full of rules, and brought up one of the most promising cultivators the world had seen so far.

This is going to be fun, Suibian thought. His master was one of the most free-spirited person, and would never stick to rules. So he was sure the rules will be broken, for in his master's words "Rules are made to be broken." Suibian smirked.

Sandu noticed the look on his shixiong's face and crept away from him.

"You both, what are you planning? Better not make troubles, and Suibian, dear, your master tends to invite trouble unknowingly, so watch out for him." said a stern yet concerned female voice, that belonged to none other than Zidian.

Zidian was a beautiful weapon, flashing bright purple as a whip and in the spiritual realm, as a lady she was a beauty, serene expression yet stern behaviour, she was like a big sister to him and Sandu.

"Yes Zidian I'll try my best." Suibian replied.

Zidian's spiritual prowess allows it to separate the soul and physical form of an individual whose body has been seized by a spirit, rendering Zidian a useful tool to discern if someone has been possessed.

She was spiritually extremely powerful and effective in combats.

Zidian nodded. She had never been against his master, she rather pitied him for being subjected to her master's wrath.

Suibian heard her sigh.

Zidian spoke "At least now Wei Wuxian will be away from master's unjust wrath."

Sandu nodded "Yes. He'll be safe in Cloud Recesses."

Suibian nodded knowing it was true, after all.

What he was unaware of was that from Cloud Recesses, a knew phase of his life would start.

Suibian, on reaching Cloud Recesses, said to his twin blade in the spiritual realm, "Woah. This place is so serene so beautiful, I wonder if we'll aquitance other sword spirits. I'm sure they'll be as beautiful as their masters."

Sandu said "This place is serene but not for long I believe."

Suibian laughed, knowing his master would do something for sure. Suddenly, he felt another spiritual presence and his master simultaneously turned towards the source of the presence.

It was Lan-er-gongzi with his renowned sword Bichen(4) and Guqin named Wangji(5).

Bichen's face turned to him and his breathe hitched he was correct so damn correct, the spirits were as beautiful as their masters.

Bichen and Wangji saluted at him and his twin blade, they returned the gesture. With this short exchange they went away, leaving Suibian dazed.

That night he and his master both couldn't sleep but for different reasons, he couldn't sleep for the face of that beautiful, no the ethereal face like the moonlit dark sky of the night had stolen his sleep.

Bichen was a male spirit, so yet ethereal, he couldn't help thinking of him again and again. Bichen's practically haunted him, like a nightmare yet he wished to never let the nightmare go.

Then, his master lifted him and went out of the Cloud Recesses' compound, to the  Caiyi town and bought two bottles of Gusu's most famous wine, Emperor's Smile.

Suibian just sighed at his master's antics to used to them. It was all fine until they were back to the walls of Cloud Recesses, there he and his master ran into Lan Wangji and Bichen.

Suibian met the ethereal sword spirit who seemed to question him through a quirked his eyebrow as if asking "What is all this going on?"

And before they knew it their masters started to fight, more like Bichen's master attacked first. To defend himself his master Wei Wuxian drew him and for the first time Suibian and Bichen clashed in their true form, they met in their true forms.

Suibian took in the blade he clashed to, although Bichen was thin, nearly transparent blade giving the impression of a lightweight sword, it was actually strong enough to cut through iron and heavy enough for non-cultivators to be unable to wield it. The blade exudes an air of ice and snow and a light blue glare when drawn.

Suibian let out a sigh of awe.

The blade was as beautiful as the spirit himself. When the clash ended Bichen came to him and said in a sorry tone "I am sorry, my master is not good at words and strongly adhere's to rules, he must have given an impression of dislike against your master but it isn't like this at all."

Suibian nodded in understanding.

Bichen's lips curved upwards ever so lightly making his already beautiful face even more so.

"I am Bichen it's an honour to clash to a fine sword and meet a handsome spirit as you." Bichen his voice as pleasent as the song of birds.

"The honour is mine to be able to meet and aquitance the widely renowned sword as you." Suibian answered.

Bichen smiled at his words and shook his head, "You are being too humble..."

Suibian realised that the other was asking his name but didn't say it aloud out respect.

"Ah! How rude of me to not tell you my name. I'm..." He suddenly quieted making Bichen frown.

Suibian panicked knowing his name's meaning. For the first time since his existence never once he felt that his name was something bad, rather he found it amusing.

But right now he felt embarrassed to tell the spirit, in front of him, his name.

Suibian suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, he out of desperation started laughing and cursed his master of saying "Whatever" and cursed Sect Leader Jiang for name him.

Bichen frowned at the weird behaviour of the handsome sword spirit in front of him.

He said "It's no problem if you feel uncomfortable in telling me your name, i don't mind you can tell me when you are comfortable in letting me know, I can wait."

Suibian nodded unable to do anything else and saluted the beautiful swords spirit back, when Bichen saluted him saying "I look forward to meet you again, until next time."

And watched the other go away his back retreating until he vanished.

Hello beautiful star!

So did you like the chapter? Did you like the looks of Suibian and Bichen? Sorry for not updating earlier.

Ahem, can you guess...who's the top or bottom between them?👀

Yes, Bichen and Wangji (Guqin) both are NOT emotionally constipated, unlike their master. They are quite expressive. Sword spirits and Instrument spirits (preferably weapon spirits) can feel their masters emotions.

So yes, Wangji and Bichen know about their master's feelings for Suibian's master.

So voilà 👁️👄👁️ lwj's secret is no longer a secret, deal with it baby.

The story of Sword and weapon spirits will be fast-paced, I hope. Like Bichen and Suibian will fall in love quick, realise quickly and confess quickly.

After that... will it be HE? HMMMMMM.

I'm not sure how this chapter is I'm not really satisfied but it's so-so. I wanted this sword spirit chapter to wrap up in a single chapter, but boom! My keyboard started getting seizures! That's one of the reasons I had to cut this chapter short, hehe.

It was so damnnnnn irritating, to write and rewrite a paragraph just because my keyboard felt like erasing it! 💢💢

And believe me it took me 2+ hours to find perfect, ahem, not so perfect pictures for Suibian and Bichen! I asked my sis for help but she was like "Nah! I ain't doin' shit."

Next Chapter will be....

Biling Lake? Maybe👀 and Bichen's opinion on Suibian's name, maybe more like while in, indoctrination at the Nightless city, I said MAYBE, and MAYBE means MAYBE.
