"Snow Tower, Episode 3"
My daughter!
Let's be father and daughter in our next lives!
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace!
Rest in peace, my child!
My daughter,
I did this...
because I had no choice.
Hopefully in the next life,
we'll be father and daughter still.
My good daughter.
Let me take a look at you again!
My daughter.
My daughter!
Is that you, my daughter?
My daughter!
Who are you?
Why are you wearing my daughter's wedding clothes?
Is the reputation you've mentioned...
more important than your daughter's life?
Mister Xie.
When the casket was closed,
your daughter was watching among the crowd.
Young Tower Master.
Do you think this was what I wanted?
Even if my daughter were to return home,
even if she's still clean and pure!
With her damaged reputation,
in this society!
She will be insulted for her whole life!
Actually,
your daughter still knows you best.
She was trying to commit suicide with a hairpin,
wanting to die.
But I stopped her at the very moment.
But she never thought that...
in her father's heart,
the family's reputation...
was more important than herself.
Everybody knows that...
Bing Yu...
killed herself before the bandits.
With what's happening now,
Bing Yu has no turning back.
My daughter can never return home anymore!
Mister Xie.
I have a perfect plan.
It ensures Lady Xie a peaceful life in the future.
Let her change her name...
and never return to Xie Family...
in order to protect your family's reputation.
Young Tower Master.
So long as you...
can ensure my daughter's safety.
Whatever Snow Tower wants me to do,
I will try my best.
The Crown Prince of King Zhen Nan is coming to the Capital soon.
I wish to secretly place my people...
in the Crown Prince's escort team...
to ensure his safety.
Young Tower Master.
Might I ask,
why is Snow Tower...
meddling with the Crown Prince's business?
To be frank,
we accepted the task you entrusted...
because of this.
The Crown Prince is important.
If something happens to him,
the Imperial Court will be in chaos.
As a royal veteran,
you wouldn't want this to happen, would you?
"Linjiang Restaurant"
I have to trouble you once more.
What I can do for you, my lady?
I saved Lady Xie of my own free will.
Helping someone doesn't take much effort.
Don't worry about that.
You wanted her to give up on the jasper hairpin...
and drop her burden...
so that she can live a better life.
Isn't it?
Where are you going next?
I can take you there.
Never mind.
"Linjiang Restaurant"
Mother.
Let's wait for father at home...
to light this lantern and make a wish together, okay?
Okay.
After we let the lantern into the sky,
your mother will be very happy...
when she sees it in heaven.
Do you like lighting sky lanterns?
If you are not feeling well,
you should get back and rest.
I have something else to do.
I'll excuse myself.
"Linjiang Restaurant"
"Tian Li Assembly"
Chief.
How is it going with Xie Family?
Reporting back, Chief.
Blue Wolf had captured Lady Xie.
But unexpectedly,
somebody from Xie Family sought help from Snow Tower.
Luckily, Xiao Yi Qing didn't manage to save her.
He has taken the body of Lady Xie back to Xie Residence.
Xiao Yi Qing is weak and often ill.
I didn't expect him to be so meddlesome.
Originally,
I thought Xiao Shi Shui...
was already a spent force...
and need not be feared.
I wanted...
to spare his life.
Who knew,
he would summon his bedridden son back...
to take over Snow Tower.
So now,
don't blame me for being merciless.
Tears only temporarily vent your pain.
The fact is, it does no good.
Crying tires the body.
Here.
Pull yourself together,
only then can you start anew.
Why... did you help me?
Back then,
you married into Xie Family as a concubine,
and my father adored you.
But when father wasn't home,
my mother secretly sold you to the brothel...
and drove you into prostitution.
You should have hated her.
Why did you help me?
Your mother sold me to the brothel back then.
But now she's lost her beloved daughter.
Isn't this karma?
If it weren't for saving my imprisoned father...
and had no other choice...
Father.
Come!
-Go! -Let go of my father.
-Father! -Lady!
-Father! -Lady.
Come on!
Lady!
-Father! -Get lost.
Father!
Lady Zi Mo.
So it seems...
your father's case is indeed unjust.
It is a delicate matter to handle.
Mister Xie.
Please think of something.
As long as I can save my father,
I am willing to go through hell for him.
Please.
Your father's case...
is indeed difficult.
But it is not a dead end.
Mister Xie.
Whatever it is you want.
Just let me know.
Zi Mo.
If you and I...
had a rightful status,
then I can rightfully...
take up your father's matter.
Did you think...
I wanted to marry Xie Family?
In Xie Family,
no one ever treated me like an equal.
All the looks of disdain in that house...
was like a sword stabbing my heart,
torturing me day and night.
I will obey your teaching,
and follow the rules of Xie Residence.
Leave.
Bing Yu.
For a girl,
virtue is of utmost important.
Keep this in mind.
Don't be like someone.
In exchange of benefits,
she lost her dignity...
and virtue.
But I still remember.
In Xie Family,
there's one person who treated me differently.
It was you, Lady Xie.
At that time,
I pitied you, that's all.
Mind you.
When in despair,
even the tiniest bit of warmth...
will also be engraved on one's heart...
and never forgotten.
Move!
I am really sorry...
to have frightened you.
Here's a little token of apology for you.
Please forgive me.
"Snow Tower"
I have spoken too much today.
Please don't mind me.
Madam Zi.
I never wanted to die.
Compared to Xie Family's reputation,
all I want is to live well.
The daughter of Xie Family is already dead.
But you are different.
You...
You have survived.
Qing Lan.
How is the Crown Prince?
His fever is finally gone.
The Crown Prince has had a long journey,
and he's not used to the environment in Central Plain.
Catching a cold is inevitable.
The herbs in Central Plain are amazing.
In less than 2 hours after taking it, his fever is gone.
It's miraculous.
Qing Lan.
Can you teach me how to prepare the herbs?
So that when I return to Nanjiang,
I can make medicine and treat illness...
to help my people.
I know only a thing or two.
How do I teach you?
How about this?
I will give you some medical books.
When you are back,
you can study them.
Really?
Thank you, Qing Lan.
You're really nice.
Anyway,
during this trip to Luoyang,
besides some guards, the Crown Prince...
didn't bring any trusted followers.
Yet, he brought you along.
Seems like King Zhen Nan trusts you people a lot.
Actually, the Crown Prince doesn't really trust me.
He's only afraid of Moon Sect's voodoo.
As the daughter of the village leader,
of course I know ways of expeling voodoo.
My father was indebted to the Queen Consort of King Zhen Nan.
He ordered me to protect the Crown Prince.
So, even if it costs me my life,
I will make sure the Prince is safe.
By the way,
Qing Lan.
How many days more till we reach Luoyang?
With our traveling speed,
we'll reach in 2 more days.
Just 2 more days?
I've been looking forward to visiting Luoyang.
I heard that it is very prosperous.
The grandest city in the world.
You can tour around the city then.
Yi Qing.
Nan Chu.
So, how?
Did Lady Jing tell you who she is?
Since she knows who I am,
she must have her reasons...
for not bringing it up.
It's been 10 years.
Anything unbearable is long gone.
Now, it seems that...
she made a right decision...
to stay at Sand Valley.
Didn't the Xie Family matter affect her?
It's impossible to not feel...
unpleasant at all.
But she should understand.
Compared to Xie Li Zhou's...
cruelty and absurdity towards his daughter,
the Blood Demon couple's love for her...
is incomparable.
All these years,
the Tower Master still can't get over...
the death of Blood Demon and his wife.
However,
Lady Jing is living with ease now.
If the Tower Master learned this,
he'd feel better.
By the way, Nan Chu.
Tomorrow is Blood Demon's death anniversary.
Be prepared.
Don't worry.
Tian Li Assembly is making some moves lately.
I've planted some men among them.
In no time,
we will find out Snow Tower's traitor.
I have taken 10 moves from you.
So, for the task to escort the Crown Prince,
I will be taking it.
Ridiculous.
How is this ridiculous?
Eldest Brother, say something.
Yi Qing said it himself.
As long as I can take 10 moves from him,
I can be at Snow Tower's service.
Isn't it?
Who told you...
about Snow Tower's plan to protect the Crown Prince?
Nan Chu.
Tell me, Nan Chu.
You're the best.
I can't tell you.
Are you telling me or not?
One can die but not be humiliated.
Tell me.
Will you?
When Xiao Tai keeps pouting,
can you handle it?
Thanks, Yi Qing!
"The Grave of Blood Demon, Shu Xue Wei and His Beloved Wife"
So many years have passed,
but there are people...
who still remember father and mother's death anniversary.
"The Grave of Blood Demon, Shu Xue Wei and His Beloved Wife"
Father, mother.
I am here to visit you.
Mother.
I remember that you...
loved to put a bouquet of flowers by the window.
"The Grave of Blood Demon, Shu Xue Wei and His Beloved Wife"
Father had many enemies...
and we had always lived in fear,
but...
there were many happy moments as well.
These 10 years,
I've been thinking,
if Snow Tower had not come to you,
maybe...
our family wouldn't be in separate worlds.
Until a few days ago, when I met someone.
I realized that...
my resentment had faded.
They are the ones feeling more uneasy instead.
Father.
You both protected me with your lives.
So I will cherish mine.
And I'll never forget your last words.
"The Grave of Blood Demon, Shu Xue Wei and His Beloved Wife"
"Heavenly Arsenal Hall"
Yi Qing.
Is the hairpin a weapon?
Why is it in the Heavenly Arsenal Hall?
I have the goods on Xie Li Zhou now.
If we can make good use of it,
this jasper hairpin...
will be a great blade, isn't it?
Yi Qing, you're indeed wise.
Yi Qing.
Mai Qian Cheng said that...
he'll be visiting the Tower Master tomorrow.
Snow Tower is now in crisis.
What has Mai Qian Cheng got on his sleeve?
That's right, Yi Qing.
Snow Tower has internal and external troubles now.
It's difficult to know which of the members are loyal.
There's no one to be trusted.
The eldest brother and I...
are the most trustworthy people besides the Tower Master.
Let us help you.
Shall we?
Xiao Tai.
You are the Master's only daughter.
He wouldn't want you...
involved in the pugilistic world.
You're right.
My father got himself into...
so many pugilistic troubles.
He became the well-known Master Xue Gu,
and is well-respected in that world.
How can he want me to stay out of it?
Does it even make sense?
Yi Qing, I promise that...
if the Crown Prince is in danger,
I will run away first...
and won't let myself die.
Yi Qing.
I think that...
if she's in charge of protecting the Crown Prince,
there are 4 words to describe his situation.
Four words?
Which four?
Fully surrounded in danger.
Eldest Brother!
So annoying.
Enough.
I suppose I can't stop you.
But, our Master...
Don't worry, Yi Qing.
I will straighten things out with Master.
The drawn sword drew a red painting.
Let's light the lantern and let it into the sky,
so that your mother may bless us with peace,
all right?
Blood is spilling, as the murderous one wields.
Once famous in the world, but clueless about love and hate.
She's too naive, but a man's heart is treacherous.
Hate myself for being a mute.
How do I tell her...
to let down her guard?
As happiness awaits her.
Fate is like entwining branches.
Slipping through my fingers like the sand.
Could I really be cursed?
Those stories about me.
That I'm cruel and lonely.
But I refuse to give up our love.
All the hearts that owned me.
They have all become demons.
It's torture, she withers before she blooms.

"Snow Tower"
Yi Qing.
Uncle Mai.
Why are you here instead of...
resting in your room?
I didn't know that the Four Tower Guardians...
are meant to protect the Lord.
Looks like Uncle Mai...
is well-respected here.
The Tower Master is waiting for me inside...
to discuss some important matters.
I'll just go in.
Any news?
The person who poisoned the Tower Master...
was a disciple from the kitchen.
Who is the one behind it?
Our Guardian, Mister Tang.
These few years,
the Tower Master hadn't intervened with the affairs of the tower.
So, the Four Guardians...
have become arrogant,
doing as they please with Mai Qian Cheng as their support.
I got it.
Father.
Yi Qing.
We were just talking about you.
Yes.
We were.
Yi Qing's body is really weak.
Way too weak compared to you...
when you were young.
If this goes on,
everything you've fought for with all your efforts will be...
Uncle Mai.
This is the Snow Tower's internal affair.
An outsider shall not worry.
Your internal affair?
Yi Qing.
How could you talk to Uncle Mai like that?
I failed in educating my son.
I am embarrassed.
Please don't take it to heart, Brother Mai.
Yi Qing.
Apologize to Uncle Mai, quick.
Uncle Mai.
All these years, you've taken great care...
of Snow Tower and my father.
But,
since I have returned to Snow Tower,
as the Young Tower Master,
I should share my father's burden.
I believe that from now on, the burden on your shoulders...
will reduce.
Young Tower Master.
You are being...
far too polite with your words.
Regarding the affairs of Snow Tower,
of course I should be the one assisting the Tower Master.
On the other hand, after your return,
I heard that...
you have brought a lot of troubles to Snow Tower.
Do you mean the daughter of Xie Family, Uncle Mai?
I have just taken up the matters of Snow Tower.
There's much left for improvement.
In the future,
please do feel free to teach me the way.
But don't you worry.
I've settled the matter regarding Xie Family's daughter.
Settled?
Great, then.
It's just that...
I wonder if there are other secrets...
behind the mountain bandits' abduction?
I've not figured it out yet.
On the night Lady Xie was kidnapped,
the Crown Prince of King Zhen Nan was almost assassinated.
Looks like...
the assassin wanted to confuse us...
by using the abduction of Lady Xie.
Young Tower Master.
You sure have your finger on the pulse.
Unfortunately,
I was still misled after all...
and failed to save Lady Xie.
But don't worry, father.
Regarding the Crown Prince,
a skilled fighter has killed the assassin.
He is safe now.
It's good that the Crown Prince is safe.
At least now,
the Imperial Court will not be in chaos.
Uncle Mai.
I am truly regretful...
as I have failed to save Lady Xie,
I wonder...
if Uncle Mai would lend me some men.
Have them go out of the city with me...
to receive the Crown Prince along with Mister Xie.
Will that do?
Sure.
I will do as you say, Young Tower Master.
"Snow Tower"
I see Xiao Yi Qing is going to be an issue.
Lord Mai.
When will the Crown Prince of King Zhen Nan enter the city?
Tomorrow.
As expected,
Lord Mai receives information faster than Lan Xue Council.
I was worried that...
I'd have nothing to tell the Young Tower Master.
Who knew Lord Mai has already known about it.
Father.
Mai Qian Cheng...
is extremely reckless.
Why do you let him have his way?
I founded Snow Tower...
to eliminate Moon Sect.
Yet before Moon Sect is eliminated,
Snow Tower is already is shaking.
Don't worry, father.
I will make Snow Tower great again.
Yi Qing.
Mai Qian Cheng will be the key...
to maintain Snow Tower.
If you can control Mai Qian Cheng,
at least his forces...
can be used by you.
Father.
I don't want to control Mai Qian Cheng.
I want to destroy...
everything about Mai Qian Cheng,
including the forces behind him.
Reducing the number of his people...
is my first step.
Father.
Yi Qing.
The reason why I wanted to expand Snow Tower...
was for your mother.
If something happens to you,
how should I explain to your mother...
when I see her after I die?
Father.
Father!
Father.
Somebody, inform Doctor Mo!
Doctor Mo.
How is he?
During his fight with Hua Lian 10 years ago,
the Tower Master was hurt badly.
And the sorrow and depression from all these years...
caused his old illness to relapse.
As for the attack this time,
I'm afraid it has affected his heart meridian.
Young Tower Master.
You must never.
Master Xue Gu...
used half of his power to prolong your life...
so that you'd make it past your 20th birthday.
But the coldness in your body...
couldn't be eliminated entirely.
Fortunately, the Moon Spirit...
is able to suppress the cold...
and protect you for many years.
If you take it off,
and something happened to you,
how can I explain to Master Xue Gu?
Doctor Mo.
I am his son.
If you were me,
what would you do?
Snow Tower is what it is today...
because all of you worked hard together.
For the sake of Snow Tower,
you've fought at the front line, risked your lives,
and contributed to Snow Tower.
Supporting justice,
fighting violence for peace...
is our eternal believe.
All these years,
Snow Tower...
and Tian Li Assembly...
have become the home we fight for...
and never give up on.
But now...
there's someone...
trying to utilize his power...
for his own purpose,
and handing over Snow Tower to his hopelessly ill son.
