Content with the night view over the lake, Xu Fengnian returned to Mushan Island with Wang Chudong, riding Onyxcrawl. Ning Emei and others were relieved to see them and the whole group returned to Wang's Residence.

Xu Fengnian was sitting in his garden when Wang Linquan visited. Entering the courtyard, Wang Linquan saw the sandalwood sword case on the table and Qing Niao standing next to Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian was getting up to greet Wang Linquan, but the latter rushed to stop him and blurted, "Your Highness, please stay seated. I don't deserve such a greeting."

Xu Fengnian said nothing. Wang Linquan sat down and glanced at the sword case that he had remembered for years. The famous sword in the box had been held by the late Lady of Northern Liang. "Wind traveling ten thousand miles carries the sorrow of one cold sword thrust." Martial Review praised it as the best sword in the world.
