"Snow Tower, Episode 17"
It's been 3 years.
You're still not strong enough.
Not strong enough to defeat me.
You're stronger than me.
I admit it.
♪ Listen to the snow. ♪
♪ Coming near yet going far. ♪
I, Shu Jing Rong, am willing to join the Snow Tower.
I am under your command.
I'll fight to the death with no regrets.
Until the day I defeat you.
What you mean is if ever I'm no longer the strongest,
you will rebel against the Snow Tower, or perhaps kill me, right?
Will you trust me?
If you don't, then it's not betrayal.
Besides, only the world's strongest can wield the Blood Rose Sword.
If you're not the strongest, I'll kill you.
At the same time, if I'm not useful to you anymore,
you can get rid of me.
♪ I hid my passion. ♪
♪ I hid you in me. ♪
Fine.
I understand.
I can bear it.
He'll understand soon.
No one can be trusted in this whole wide world.
Do you mean...
you've been thinking this way for the past 3 years?
Are there no one else that you could ever trust besides your master and seniors?
I like to using daggers.
Though there are risks of cutting myself.
Perhaps you are my best dagger.
Why am I still alive?
It must be deserted like this in the underworld itself.
You!
Who... who are you?
Xiao Yi Qing?
You won't let me be even in the afterlife?
To me, you are same as the dead.
Lei Chu Yun, the Tower Master is killing you and saving you at the same time.
The Tower Master had used the best Jinchuang ointment to stop your bleeding.
Xiao Yi Qing, why did you save me?
Why do you keep making a fool out of me?
That cut was because Lady Jing let you off secretly.
But we can't break the Snow Tower regulations.
The Tower Master had to kill you.
Don't let us find you again.
You will not be spared.
Xiao Yi Qing...
Tower Master.
I don't understand.
Someone wants him to live.
So I fulfilled her wish.
So you searched high and low for Azure Azalea to save Young Hero Gao.
Is it all for Lady Jing too?
The Dark Star is shining.
Is it destiny?
Dark Star shines upon human fate.
I, Xiao Yi Qing... never trust fate.
Mister Gao.
Are you feeling better?
Are you caring for me?
Stop flattering yourself.
I'm not.
Then I won't tell you anything.
Excuse me.
Stand still!
This medicine has amazing tranquilizing effects.
Don't get me wrong!
Nan Chu asked me to pass it to you.
Thanks.
Too bad, I don't accept kindness in vain.
I'll give you a present.
Sea Flower?
Don't move.
Didn't you take it back already?
Why are you returning it?
The Sea Flower belongs to me.
I had to take it with me when I left the Snow Tower.
If you are leaving again, will you take it away?
Then...
No.
It belongs to you now that I gave it to you.
You gave me medicine, and I gifted you the Sea Flower.
It's a courtesy.
I have a question.
Yi Qing is arriving at Luoyang a few days after us.
What about Lady Jing?
She might have other plans.
I'm not too sure.
Has the Tower Master arrived at Luoyang?
Nan Chu.
Lady Xiao Tai.
What's going on?
"A letter from Long Qing Ya to Xiao Yi Qing"
The Long family sent us a letter.
Asking for a marriage alliance with the Snow Tower.
Eldest brother.
During the absence of Yi Qing, you took care of all matters in Snow Tower.
You've managed everything very well.
It's just a marriage.
How difficult can it be?
Lady Xiao Tai.
You have no idea.
Long family from South Sea holds power at sea.
Even the Snow Tower has to respect them.
Now, they are asking for an alliance through marriage.
We have to be cautious.
The candidate for the bride... is hard to decide.
Long family of South Sea is rich and powerful.
This is a rare chance coveted by many.
How can it be hard?
Xiao Tai, you have no idea.
The Eldest Young Master Long has 11 wives.
But all 11 wives died on the wedding night.
There are so many women in the world.
Why did they select the Snow Tower?
The Long family's Azure Azalea is rare.
It's extremely hard to grow as well.
We asked for the flower.
They ask for marriage in return.
"Heavenly Arsenal Hall"
Tower Master Xiao.
I've been thinking about something for a long time.
Is it about your injury?
I understand deeply that the Blood Venom and cold virus are incurable.
I've thought back and forth.
I can't stay here much longer and burden the Snow Tower.
The illness in you is curable.
The Snow Tower has made prior arrangements.
Doctor Mo had said that the Azure Azalea can expel the adverse effects of Xuan Yin Heart Sutra.
Then, the marriage alliance was made for this purpose?
Yes.
But 11 brides died in the Long family.
If this marriage alliance had any mishaps because of me,
how can I live at ease?
Tower Master.
Please make your decision wisely.
I've made up my mind.
You don't have to reject me.
Go back and rest.
I will never forget this deed from the Snow Tower.
If my life can be saved, I'll join the Snow Tower and serve you well.
Madam.
My mother came to see me in Lingjiu Mountain.
The palace security is loose now.
You can take this chance and flee today.
Madam, are you done writing the Xuan Yin Heart Sutra?
I'll give it to you after I leave the Moon Palace.
Fine.
There are but a few disciples beyond here.
We'll leave now.
Young Mistress.
Gu Guang.
Young Mistress.
I can't find Bing Ling anywhere in the palace.
She should be waiting for us in the Vermillion Palace.
It seems too quiet in here.
When we came in, there were some disciples patrolling.
How about this? You send her out first.
Roger that.
Mother!
Hurry!
Gu Guang! How dare you betray me!
Young Mistress Ming He.
I'm the Left Guardian of the Moon Sect.
I will take orders from the Mistress only.
Do you really think that you can fool me with your petty tricks?
Shi Shui!
Shi Shui, Shi Shui!
Balsam-coated nails?
After so many years, you were still unwilling to give up the sutra.
See what happens now?
Don't think that I won't kill you!
I kept you alive so that I can threaten your son during critical moments.
You can never escape.
The Hong Lian Prison will be the last place you'll stay for your remaining life.
Left Guardian,
take her away.
Yes, Mistress.
Go!
That day, you pretended to fall into the river.
I went out and searched for you as a bluff to everyone.
I was hoping you would let your guard down.
You poured your heart out and played along with me.
And finally exposed me today.
Seems that you're not letting me off this time.
If I'm right, why did you move all the disciples away?
Is there any need for that?
I have to settle things secretly since it's between me and my daughter.
If I made a show of it and word gets out, it doesn't do any good to Moon Sect.
There's really no one to trust in the world.
Even the nearest kin can't compare to an outsider.
What did you say?
You did your best to save Xue Wen.
Isn't it for him?
These days, when I was taking Jia Ruo's inner energy,
I sensed changes in his aura.
Coincidentally, Xue Wen's health deteriorated.
I looked for clues and discovered that you were the one responsible!
Since Jia Ruo entered the Moon Palace, I have been absorbing his inner energy during full moon.
Then, I send him back to recuperate.
But as his recuperation time increased,
I gradually discovered that there were unique adverse effects of Xuan Xin Heart Sutra.
Judging from what you're doing, aren't you letting him practice the whole sutra?
I will not let you all harm him!
Ming He, I've implanted the Blood Venom in you.
Stop your vain attempts.
Why are you here?
I'm here to inform you something.
Recently, the Snow Tower found a poison master sneaking around named Hong Chen.
She's now in Qing Feng Town.
But we don't know why Long family of South Sea is also searching for her.
What does it have to do with me?
The one who poisoned and blinded you three years ago was Hong Chen.
"Hong Chen"
I will avenge myself.
Don't worry, Tower Master.
I didn't respect your thoughts back with Lei family.
I'll leave Hong Chen at your disposal this time.
All right?
What do you mean?
Hong Chen is a master in poison.
If we can take her under our wings,
I wanted to take her in, but she hurt you in the past.
but she hurt you in the past.
If you want a revenge, I will not stop you.
Are you sure?
You can decide to spare or kill her.
"Prison"
The new magistrate came recently.
The death row inmate pending for next year was sentenced to early execution after fall.
We have to tighten our security.
- No mistakes are allowed. - Yes, sir!
After saving you, the kinship between you and I will be written off.
Tower Master.
Nan Chu.
Respects to the Tower Master.
As expected, Lady Jing went to Qing Feng Town.
Who ordered you to investigate?
Rest assured.
Lady Jing will not kill Hong Chen.
But she went there for revenge.
Lady Hong Chen certainly can't defeat Lady Jing.
But what if she uses poison?
I got it.
One more thing.
Long family has sent their marriage alliance troops here.
They will reach Luoyang today.
But it seems that we haven't decided who to marry off.
Long family asked for marriage alliance in exchange for the Azure Azalea.
This means they intend to affiliate.
For hundreds of years, the Long family had supreme powers over South Sea.
They are influential in Yun and Gui regions.
If we can join forces, it will be greatly beneficial to Snow Tower.
But this Long family is so secretive.
Not much information is known.
It's said that all heads of the Long family from the past till now are ugly and violent.
They kill their wives and abandon their children.
Maybe that's the reason why they are paranoid.
We should send someone with a different personality from the previous 11 women.
So it seems, plenty of secrecy surrounds the Long family.
This is a complicated marriage.
This candidate has to protect herself and complete the marriage alliance,
while helping the Snow Tower investigate the Long family to decide if we really can join forces.
Yes.
Only someone intelligent yet courageous can handle it.
It's too hard to decide.
I can't decide.
There's only one person deemed fit for this task in the entire Snow Tower, Lady Jing.
I know who to pick.
Hao Tian, the Long family's chief steward will arrive in a few days.
Treat him well.
"Prison"
Three years ago, you blinded me with poison.
Do you remember?
No, I don't.
The tasks I do in the pugilistic world is just business.
You are not the only one I poisoned.
There's poison in your blood?
A word of advice.
Mind your own business.
Don't be so full of yourself.
Before the poison strikes, I can still take your life.
You're crazy.
What are you doing?
You're poisoned.
Don't stop me.
Why did you break your promise?
Didn't you say I can decide Hong Chen's life and death?
Why did you stop me?
Since you've joined the Snow Tower, you have no right to harm your body.
you have no right to harm your body.
I just want to detoxify your body.
Besides, you're not reckless.
Don't be blinded by vengeance.
I hope that you can make your decisions after knowing the truth.
No wonder she has been loitering around the jail.
loitering around the jail.
The one captured inside is her mother.
Her mother's name is Zhu Niang.
She was pursued by the Long family years ago.
The reason is unknown.
Even to the Snow Tower?
We only know that her mother was captured to bear the blame for Hong Chen.
Hong Chen doesn't know about it.
She thought that her mother was cruel...
So she hates her mother but she doesn't want her to suffer.
What an emphatic person.
Don't get hurt again.
If I hadn't brought Doctor Mo's medicine with me, it could have been dire.
Thank you, Tower Master.
Since you have recovered, I'll go back for now.
I've been in charge of the Sect for many years and I never dared to trust anyone.
Alas, even our relationship as mother and daughter is not the same anymore.
Xue Wen's prophecies were never wrong.
It's almost 3 years.
But I don't know if it will come true.
If I don't treat you harshly, how can you manage on your own and support the Moon Sect?
Jia Ruo!
Mother. Where's Jia Ruo?
Where's Jia Ruo?
Until now, you still can't forget that person.
Don't hurt Jia Ruo!
No. I must look for him.
Rest well.
What are you doing?
I would rather dig my heart out, than let you control me.
Ming He!
-Don't come here! -Ming He!
Mother, mother...
I'm sorry.
How dare you do this to me for him?
It is clear so long as he stays in Moon Sect, you will never come to your senses.
Today, I'll make you understand.
Emotion will only be your obstruction!
Mother, Jia Ruo practices the Xuan Yin Heart Sutra on my will.
This sutra can heal his old wounds.
He will never betray us.
Please let him off.
I did everything for you.
Consequences will be dire if we keep him in the Sect!
Back then, he became a living corpse because of me.
It was me who allowed Mother to absorb his inner energy in exchange for his life.
Certain things have been a mistake from the start.
And I can't just let them be.
Mother, I've never begged anything from you.
I'm begging you now to spare his life.
Rather than power, what I desire most is peace.
Ming He!
Wake up, Jia Ruo!
Hurry and wake up!
Be careful!
Jia Ruo!
The water of the Holy Lake is poisonous.
How could you risk your life for this man?
Mother, he has forgotten his past.
Why do you have to be so ruthless?
Every time you absorb his energy, he can only recuperate himself
he can only recuperate himself in the Holy Lake with the Ice Coffin.
I let him practice Xuan Yin Heart Sutra secretly to let him recover faster.
Xuan Yin Heart Sutra can never be passed to outsiders.
But you've secretly allowed him to nearly complete his practice.
I can't spare him!
Mother.
If what you did is for me, then all the resentment will end and resolve once I die.
How dare you take my energy!
Jia Ruo!
Stop it!
Jia Ruo!
Jia Ruo! Don't kill her!
She's my mother!
Mother!
Ming He...
I never thought that you would care about my life.
Mother.
Stop what you're doing.
Everything will be fine.
All I can do for you... are these.
Mother, no!
Jia Ruo!
Stop it!
When the moon flowers bloom,
the lotus in the lake will rot.
The green dragon rises from the water,
circling the full moon terrace.
Xue Wen, your prophecies were never wrong.
Do you still remember that we promised each other
to be buried together in the Holy Lake as sacrifice to the Moon God Flower?
I'll wait for you right here.
We'll keep each other company until the Holy Lake dries out.
Alas, even our relationship as mother and daughter is not the same anymore.
If I don't treat you harshly,
how can you manage on your own and support the Moon Sect?
