If you...
return safely this time，
will you...
marry me?
I was lingering between life and death.
That's why I couldn't...
give you a promise.
I'm worried that one day...
I'll leave before you.
I will give everything I have to make this promise true.
To be together...
for the rest of our lives.
Jing.
Be my wife.
We shall grow old together...
side by side and hand in hand.
He's really gone.
Do you think I'll lie to you?
All these years,
all he had done...
was to attack the Moon Sect...
and save his mother.
But because of me,
everything is futile.
He wasted all of his inner energy on me.
But,
it's all for this heartbreaking news.
Madam Xue Wen...
died under Lady Jing's sword.
Yi Qing!
Tower Master Xiao!
Yi Qing!
He must be devastated.
But you have to be glad...
that he didn't attack us...
on impulse.
Hence,
I can relax.
That day when my old illness struck,
he could have taken my life easily.
But he let me off instead.
So unless necessary,
I don't intend to fight Xiao Yi Qing.
He promised me...
to keep you safe.
I...
have a request.
If this mission succeeds,
please spare my Elder Brother.
I...
I want to bring him back to the Sand Valley.
I wish to keep him away from bloodshed...
and lead a peaceful life.
I was too late, again.
Protect the Tower Master!
This person looks familiar.
We battled against each other...
at the Blue Mountains.
These must be men from Moon Sect.
Those people creating a hoax...
are not thinking straight.
Who would want to claim our lives here in Nanjiang,
except the Moon Sect?
Maybe Ming He...
wanted to end us quietly.
So that her sect...
won't be shamed by turning their backs on a promise.
Jia Ruo,
it's time for your medicine.
How are you lately?
Jia Ruo,
when are you coming back?
What would make you come back?
Jia Ruo,
if you come back,
I will listen to everything you say.
We can let go of all grudges...
and even let Shu Jing Rong off.
I'll listen to you...
if you come back to me.
The golden needle is to be immersed in medicine and boiled for 3 days.
After it fully absorbs the medicine,
push into acupoint with 30 percent of force.
Then...
combined with an orally consumed medicine,
the patient's memory will be sealed...
and shall never remember the past.
Sealing memories...
Forgetting the past...
Elder Brother!
What happened, Elder Brother?
Elder Brother!
Elder Brother! Elder Brother!
Elder Brother! Look at me!
Elder Brother!
Medicine!
Ming He...
Go to Ming He.
Get the medicine from Ming He!
Elder Brother!
Go... go to Ming He and... get me my medicine.
Jia Ruo,
will you rather endure the pain...
just so you never have to return to Moon Sect?
Do you have...
no affection to me anymore?
Or is it...
that you've remembered everything about Shu Jing Rong?
About the Sand Valley?
About the me you used to know?
Reporting back to you, Mistress.
I've taken our disciples...
and searched everywhere in Lingjiu Mountain.
But...
the High Priest and Shu Jing Rong...
are nowhere to be found.
I don't care.
Keep searching!
Mistress,
actually our men...
has been searching undercover.
But there were no findings.
Please forgive my rudeness.
Maybe the High Priest...
has moved away from our vicinity.
Mistress!
Qing Hui.
Listen carefully.
I don't care that you can't find him,
I want him found!
Yes, Mistress.
Madam Zi.
Come in.
Reporting to Madam Zi,
Gao Meng Fei seems normal these days,
but he constantly goes out at night...
to Luoyang.
No wonder.
This time he returned...
with too much self-composure and calmness.
He's totally not his usual self.
That's why I sent you to observe him.
So it seems like...
there really is something fishy.
But Gao Meng Fei is highly skilled,
I couldn't get too close to him.
So I have nothing new to report.
Never mind.
I know what to do.
Send my orders.
Besides the Chuihua House,
increase integral defense around the Snow Tower.
Maintain high alert.
Next,
though we've sent out our men...
to escort Tower Master on his way back,
we still need to be cautious.
Yes, Madam.
Go!
Elder Brother!
Go!
Elder Brother! Elder Brother!
-Go! -Elder Brother!
Go now!
Qing Lan...
Jia Ruo...
Few years ago,
me and my senior escorted a Crown Prince...
under our Master's orders.
During an attack from our enemies,
the Crown Prince's maidservant was wounded.
You're hurt?
She was brought back to the valley by my kind-hearted senior.
That maidservant...
looked helpless and innocent,
so my senior took extra care of her...
and protected her.
Ye Huo!
Master!
I'm fine.
But who would have known...
that the maidservant was a spy...
planted by the enemy from the very start?
In the end,
my master died because of her betrayal.
The whole valley was destroyed!
I can't believe...
I stayed in Moon Sect for so many years.
I even became their High Priest.
Ming He...
Who knew...
that I'd become the devil...
with blood on my hands?
This world and everything in it...
is such an absurd joke.
Why didn't I die back in the Sand Valley?
Ming Er...
No.
I can't let her know.
Ming Er.
Luckily your fever's gone.
Elder Brother.
You were in danger,
so I had to remove the golden needle from you.
Thank goodness you're alright.
If not...
Elder Brother...
Didn't you promise me...
to come back for me?
Where are you?
Elder Brother...
Elder Brother, where are you?
Elder Brother.
Elder Brother!
Elder Brother?
Is it really you, Elder Brother?
Since the Sand Valley,
Ming Er had strove for so many years in the pugilistic world.
Now she's also cold like winter.
Since we met again,
she never reminded me that I was Qing Lan.
Seems like...
she didn't want me...
to remember the painful past.
If so,
should I pretend to be the ignorant Jia Ruo...
and not let her know...
that I've regained my memories?
Maybe so...
she will worry less for me.
My Lord.
How is it?
Lady Xue did acupuncture on Tower Master...
and controlled the attack.
Doctor Mo said...
he might feel better after...
consuming the brewed medicine later.
Yi Qing transferred most of...
his inner energy to Lady Jing.
The Lovesick Tears venom in his body...
can't be contained anymore.
And this time,
we're far away from Snow Tower.
It will be a tiring trip.
I'm worried about his health.
Though Lady Xue didn't say anything,
but I can see it from her expression.
Perhaps this time,
things will not be easy.
All the news we've obtained so far...
has been devastating.
How can Yi Qing rest peacefully?
Too much worry harms one's well-being.
Even the best physicians...
can do nothing about it.
By the way,
Lord Nan Chu.
The task that Tower Master ordered us last night...
I've made arrangements.
Bring Chi Xiao Tai and Shi Ming Yan with you...
and we'll leave separately.
Understood.
Zi Mo warned us...
in her letters too.
We should be cautious.
It's just that...
Shi Ming Yan...
seems displeased with the Tower Master.
As we await the retreat back to Snow Tower,
she was constantly throwing her temper at us.
I'm unsure...
but if she stays in the Snow Tower,
will it be...
The many reasons behind why she's here is...
one,
she has no kin nor relatives.
Secondly,
Yi Qing wishes for it.
Though he didn't say anything,
but he's sorry that he caused...
Ye Feng Sha's death.
Therefore no matter what,
he will keep Shi Ming Yan...
in the Snow Tower...
and take care of her.
If the Tower Master wishes it so,
I will have no objection.
I'll make preparations now...
and take them away with me.
Ming Er,
if the Sand Valley incident never happened,
maybe our days now...
would be just like this.
Away from feuds...
and living peacefully.
I want to go back to the Holy Lake.
Why?
That day,
I saw a body...
within the flowers.
I want to have a check.
The Holy Lake is poisonous.
No one can dive in as they please.
Even myself...
can't stand too long in it.
Last time,
I had no options.
To cleanse your Moon God Flower poison,
I had no choice...
but to risk the both of us.
But..
Those who trespass the Holy Lake...
will end up dead.
You're determined...
to go to Moon Sect?
Yes.
If I guessed right,
the body I saw down there in the lake...
must be Hua Lian.
From the sect's news,
Hua Lian was killed by Xue Wen.
I think something is amiss there.
You're so determined to do all this...
for Xiao Yi Qing?
I want to try my best...
to investigate Hua Lian's death...
and clear Xue Wen's name.
But Xue Wen is...
If I really killed her when the venom attacked me,
I will never forgive myself.
I shall always...
be indebted to them...
for as long as I live.
Rumor says that drinking from the River of Remembrance...
will help remember past memories.
If someone drinks from the River of Unmindfulness,
they will forget their past lives...
and all memories.
Do you think...
people...
should forget their past...
and live a better life,
or should they...
hold on to their most precious memories in pain...
for the better?
Who...
are you thinking of now?
Ming Er,
I should've known that...
the one in your heart is Xiao Yi Qing.
But when my memories flow back,
I thought for a moment...
that we can just pretend like...
everything is the same as the past.
But how could I ask that of you,
when I can't do it myself.
How can I let go...
of all that has happened in these past few years?
Why is the Lingjiu Mountain so dark?
Even the prayer lights that we light..
for the followers at foothill has died out.
Only when the sect is in trouble...
or the Mistress is in danger,
will the lights be put out.
Could it be...
Ming He!
Go back.
I'm going to Moon Palace.
I'll go with you.
Suit yourself.
Moon followers...
were nowhere to be seen along the way in.
I wonder how Ming He is.
Are you worried about her?
Yes.
She saved my life.
All these years when I was sick,
she was the one beside me.
The last time I saw Ming He,
nothing was wrong with her.
Now that the Snow Tower retreated back to Luoyang,
The Moon Sect...
must be rather peaceful.
Nothing could have happened here.
Don't worry.
High Priest!
You're back!
Greetings to the High Priest.
Where's the Mistress?
Reporting back, High Priest.
The Mistress is not well these days...
and she's been recuperating.
But she ordered...
that we report to her,
if the High Priest returns.
No need.
I'll go myself.
You may leave.
Yes, sir.
He's still Jia Ruo.
The High Priest of the Moon Sect.
Ming He.
Jia Ruo?
Is it really you?
Jia Ruo!
Don't leave me.
Jia Ruo,
where have you been?
Are you leaving me and the sect?
If I hadn't announced that I was ill,
would you still come back?
Jia Ruo,
what is your decision?
Are you staying here?
I'm the High Priest here.
Of course I will stay here...
for the Mistress.
Jia Ruo.
Don't worry.
I will keep my word...
on my promise.
Lady Jing,
if you're worried about Xiao Yi Qing,
you should return to the Snow Tower now.
Staying there...
might bring him harm.
If his people intend to rebel,
it'll more terrifying than external foes.
What do you mean?
I heard that Xiao Yi Qing is bedridden,
while his men are causing a stir...
to get rid of him.
Do you think that Tower Master Xiao...
is in danger?
Jia Ruo?
Seems like the Snow Tower...
requires Lady Jing's help.
Do return to the Snow Tower.
The matter you wanted to investigate...
will have to wait for now.
You are cured from the poison.
Do leave on your own.
Elder Brother,
are you really in love with Ming He?
Are you going to stay here...
and fight alongside her with your life?
Greetings Mistress.
Greetings High Priest.
Is the Left Guardian feeling better?
Thank you for caring, High Priest.
Gu Guang had escaped death and is now recuperating.
It's just that...
the Blood Venom in him was not cleansed.
So he's recovering slowly.
If that's so,
may I ask for the Mistress...
to remove the Blood Venom from the Left Guardian?
What?
The two guardians had served us well.
During my absence,
the Right Guardian protected the sect with his might.
So the Right Guardian's Blood Venom...
should be removed as well.
You spoke too highly, High Priest.
I'm just carrying out my duty.
The two guardians contributed much to the sect.
They deserve some rewards...
rather than sufferings from us.
Isn't the Left Guardian injured too?
We should let him recover faster.
May the Mistress...
please remove the Blood Venom from them?
Alright.
After removing the venom from them,
do rest and recuperate yourself.
I will take care of the sect.
So, you can be at ease.
Fine.
I'll remove the venom for them.
Thank you, Mistress.
Thank you, High Priest.
Jia Ruo,
your actions today...
are different than before.
Did you remember something when you were...
with Shu Jing Rong?
If not,
why did you let her go so easily?
What do I owe this pleasure to, High Priest?
It's a long journey back to the Snow Tower.
I've prepared...
some money and food...
and a ride for you.
May you have a smooth journey ahead.
Elder Brother.
Have you mistaken me as someone else again?
Sorry.
Please excuse me.
Never mind.
You and Tower Master Xiao both have been kind to me.
If I wasn't the High Priest,
we might've became good friends.
The Snow Tower is reputable...
in the pugilistic world.
We have our duties...
and we serve different masters.
If you return safely to the Snow Tower,
do keep Tower Master Xiao safe.
To those who rebelled,
if they don't repent,
you don't have to spare them.
The enmity between Snow Tower and Moon Sect...
can't be dissolved easily.
If Moon Sect intends to go astray,
the Snow Tower...
will never rest until you are stopped.
Why do you tell me all this?
If I can turn back time,
I wouldn't wish...
for the sect to turn out this way.
Now that I've decided to protect the sect,
I will try my best to avoid bloodshed.
No one intends to kill everyday...
if they can live peacefully.
Time does not wait.
You should go now.
I'll bid you farewell here.
Elder Brother,
I will definitely come back for you.
Then,
we'll go back to Sand Valley and offer our prayers to Master.
Sending me back to Snow Tower while halfway on our journey.
Isn't it because I disobeyed Tower Master...
and he's worried that I'll attack him?
It's common to know that I'm not welcomed.
But Sister Chi,
you're the Tower Master's junior.
Both you of grew up together...
like childhood sweethearts.
But why...
It was a rough ride back,
you must be tired.
Go have some rest.
It was a tough trip.
Why aren't you resting?
Gao Meng Fei,
I have something...
to ask you.
We were ambushed on our way back.
The first one was from the Moon Sect.
Was the second one...
your doing?
Yes.
What?
Worried about your senior?
My heart is dead.
Why would I be worried?
What a pity.
The Tower Master is cautious...
and defensive.
We didn't succeed this time.
It will be harder for our next tries.
You're right.
Seems like Yi Qing...
has been treating me like an outsider.
He kept quiet from me for all this time.
Greetings Mistress.
Have you sent out the news?
Reporting back, Mistress.
The news has been sent.
Looking at the time,
it will soon reach the receiver's hands.
Good.
There will be some commotion...
at the Snow Tower these few days.
Hurry and prepare yourself.
Yes, Mistress.
Jia Ruo,
though you've sent her back,
but it's still unsure if she can reach...
in one piece.
"Snow Tower"
The winds are strong out here,
and you don't have Moon Spirit with you.
Why don't you get back to the tower?
With your condition now,
you can't afford to catch a cold.
Nan Chu,
inspect thoroughly on the attacks...
that struck us on our trip back here.
Don't worry.
I've sent news to Lan Xue Hall.
They've started their investigations.
Good.
"Snow Tower"
"Shu Jing Rong is safe and heading to Snow Tower"
Shu Jing Rong got an antidote...
and left Lingjiu Mountain unscathed?
Is this the actual news from Right Guardian?
Absolutely.
Leave!
Huang Quan!
Zi Mo.
Good that you're back safely.
But...
why did you become so tan and thin?
You suffered at Nanjiang?
This time,
we failed to crush the Moon Sect.
And the Tower Master...
needed some time to recuperate.
Perhaps,
the Snow Tower is finally welcoming...
some peaceful days ahead.
"Snow Tower"
