Chapter 72: Heart to Heart

Liu Xiaochen raised an eyebrow at Wang Jingyuan's question. "Why would you think I want Feng Ming Sword?"

"Well, I mean…" Wang Jingyuan thought quickly about how to answer this without offending Liu Xiaochen or letting him know that she thought maybe he hated her. "You're the chief now, and you're a lot more experienced and advanced than I am in martial arts. You're going to use Song of the Phoenix more than I will and better than I can. And you were the head disciple; Shifu said he had always meant to make you his successor, so I thought maybe he would have wanted you to have Feng Ming Sword as well. I know I'm technically not a 'real' martial artist, since I didn't go through all the years of training like you and everyone else did. I still don't think I deserve Feng Ming Sword. So if you want it back…you can have it."
