[Listening 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.
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 from 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 would 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 that very moment.
But she never thought that in her father's heart,
the family's reputation was more important than herself.
Everybody knows that Bingyu...
killed herself before the bandits.
With what's happening now, Bingyu has no turning back.
My daughter can never return home!
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 the 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,
may I ask why Snow Tower is
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 can I 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 that 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.
MIss, 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 the Xie family?
Reporting back, Chief.
Blue Wolf had captured Lady Xie.
But unexpectedly, somebody from the Xie family sought help from Snow Tower.
Luckily, Xiao Yiqing didn't manage to save her.
He has taken the body of Lady Xie back to the Xie Residence.
Xiao Yiqing is weak and often ill.
I didn't expect him to be so meddlesome.
Originally, I thought Xiao Shishui
was already a spent force and needed not to 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 the Xie family as a concubine
and my father adored you.
But when father wasn't home,
my mother secretly sold you to a brothel and drove you into prostitution.
You should have hated her.
Why did you help me?
Your mother sold me to a 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 having 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 could rightfully take up your father's matter.
Did you think I wanted to marry into the Xie family?
In the 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 the Xie Residence.
Leave.
Bingyu,
for a girl, virtue is of utmost importance.
Keep this in mind.
Don't be like someone.
In exchange for benefits, she lost her dignity and virtue.
But I still remember.
In the Xie family, there's one person who treated me differently.
It was you, Lady Xie.
At that time, I pitied you, that's all.
I know.
When in despair, even the tiniest bit of warmth
will also be engraved on one's heart and never be 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 the Xie family's reputation,
all I want is to live well.
The daughter of the Xie family is already dead.
But you are different.
You...
You have survived.
Brother 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 the Central Plains.
Catching a cold is inevitable.
The herbs in the Central Plains are amazing.
In less than two hours after taking it, his fever is gone.
It's miraculous.
Brother 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 could I teach you?
How about this?
I will give you some medical books.
When you are back, you can study them.
Really?
Thank you, Brother 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 witchcraft.
As the daughter of the village leader, of course, I know ways of expelling witchcraft.
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, Brother Qing Lan,
how many more days until we reach Luoyang?
With our traveling speed, we'll reach in two more days.
Just two 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.
[Snow Tower]
Junior Brother!
Senior Brother.
So, how was it? 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 ten years.
Anything unbearable is long gone.
Now, it seems that she made the 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 Lizhou'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, Senior Brother,
tomorrow is Blood Demon's death anniversary. Be prepared.
Don't worry.
Tian Li Assembly has been 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 ten 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!
Senior Brother (Yiqing) said it himself.
As long as I can take ten moves from him, I can be in Snow Tower's service.
Isn't that it?
Isn't it?
Who told you about Snow Tower's plan to protect the Crown Prince?
Senior Brother...
Tell me, Senior Brother.
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, Second Brother!
[The Grave of Blood Demon: Shu Xuewei 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 Xuewei 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 Xuewei and His Beloved Wife]
Father had many enemies
and we had always lived in fear,
but there were many happy moments as well.
These ten years, I've been thinking, maybe if Snow Tower had not come to you,
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.
[Heavenly Arsenal Hall]
Senior Brother,
is the hairpin a weapon?
Why is it in the Heavenly Arsenal Hall?
I have leverage on Xie Lizhou now.
If we can make good use of it,
this Jasper hairpin will be a great blade, would it not?
Senior Brother, you're indeed wise.
Junior Brother!
Junior Brother,
Mai Qiancheng said
he'll be visiting the Tower Master tomorrow.
Snow Tower is now in crisis.
What does Mai Qiancheng have up his sleeve?
That's right, Senior Brother.
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.
Eldest Brother and I are the most trustworthy people besides the Tower Master.
Let us help you.
Shall we? Shall we?
Junior Sister,
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?
Senior Brother, I promise that if the Crown Prince is in danger,
I will run away first and not let myself die.
Junior Brother,
I think that if she's in charge of protecting the Crown Prince,
there are four 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, Senior Brother!
I will straighten things out with Master.
Let's light the lantern and let it into the sky,
so that your mother may bless us with peace, all right?

[Promised Land]
[Snow Tower]
Yiqing.
Uncle Mai.
Why are you here instead of resting in your room?
I didn't know that the Four Tower Guardians were 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.
[Snow Tower]
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 past 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 Qiancheng as their support.
I got it.
Father.
Yiqing.
We were just talking about you.
Yes, we were.
Yiqing'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?
Yiqing,
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.
Yiqing,
apologize to Uncle Mai, quickly.
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 the 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 the 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 a 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 Yiqing is going to be an issue.
Lord Mai.
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 already knew about it.
Father,
Mai Qiancheng is extremely reckless.
Why do you let him have his way?
I founded Snow Tower to eliminate Moon Sect.
Yet before Moon Sect can be eliminated,
Snow Tower is already shaking.
Don't worry, Father.
I will make Snow Tower great again.
Yiqing,
Mai Qiancheng will be the key to maintain Snow Tower.
If you can control Mai Qiancheng, at least his forces can be used by you.
Father,
I don't want to control Mai Qiancheng.
I want to destroy everything about Mai Qiancheng, including the forces behind him.
Reducing the number of his people is my first step.
Father! Father!
Yiqing,
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.
Somebody, inform Doctor Mo!
Doctor Mo, how is he?
During his fight with Hua Lian ten 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 happens 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 have 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 belief.
All these years, Snow Tower and Tian Li Assembly
have become the home we fight for and never gave 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.
