Setting Off! First, Go See the Wife?

At this, Wuzhen paused, his expression tinged with lingering reminiscence.

After a long while, he drew a deep breath before continuing:

"These two swords were originally forged by a husband-and-wife pair of swordsmiths."

"The man was called Ganjiang, and the woman Moye."
