"It's a tower of joy and sorrow, gatherings and farewells."
"As the rose and shadow scatter, loneliness resurfaces."
"Flowers bloom on the other side, while they wilt where we stand."
"Snow Tower, Episode 39"
That was my mother's favourite song.
Why not?
That's a deal, then.
Thank you, sir.
"Flower Palace"
Tower Master will join the operation this time.
He has reached somewhere near the Flower Palace.
He will kill those who escapes Flower Palace from behind,
and assist us afterward.
Flower Palace is quiet lately.
Ming Che must have been prepared.
Regardless, they're in the dark while we're not.
So, we must be careful.
Things will go according to plan!
We will attack in 2 hours,
each group with 7 people.
One group strikes first.
In order to break through Flower Thorn Formation,
we must first invade the inner part...
and cause confusions.
I believe the sky lanterns will catch them off guard.
We must defeat Flower Palace!
Yes!
Gao Huan.
You'll take the lead this time.
We must break through the formation and capture Ming Che alive!
"Flower Palace"
I will not let you down!
Look at that.
They're again.
What is going on?
Right.
Palace Master.
The sky lanterns have appeared again.
They were normally seen at night.
Why would they appear during daytime now?
Convey my orders,
everyone is to be on guard!
Yes.
Palace Master.
Why aren't you guarding your Mistress?
Palace Master,
I'm here by her orders...
to guard the Flower Palace...
and ensure your safety.
The sky lanterns emerged from nowhere,
I fear Snow Tower is about to take action.
They put those up at night before.
If we don't shoot them down,
they would eventually burn out anyway.
But I'm wondering...
what they are up to this time.
Watch out!
It's gunpowder.
The previous sky lanterns...
were meant to lower our guards.
This is the real fight!
Palace Master, if this goes on,
Flower Palace might not withstand it.
We have to take action.
Palace Master, please go!
Don't panic!
They're attacking by haste.
There's no need to rush.
We'll wait as they attack,
that will be the perfect time to crack the formation!
Gather up!
Chuihua House!
Yes!
Halt!
In the command of Palace Master,
guard Flower Palace to your last breath!
Yes!
The formation is solved.
The battle comes next.
Huang Quan,
lead the rest to intercept all escape routes.
Spare no one of Flower Palace.
Yes!
Mistress!
Mistress.
What's the situation?
Mistress,
Flower Thorn Formation has been solved.
Snow Tower assassins have conquered Exotic Flower Formation.
It's chaotic out there.
Where is my father?
Palace Master is assisting with his men.
He must be fighting against Snow Tower.
Father had it planned all along.
That's why he wanted me to leave.
He put me here...
so that I had a chance to escape.
Mistress.
Palace Master has given his orders...
to defend Flower Palace to death.
Mistress,
there's another matter.
Speak!
High Priest has returned to Flower Palace to escort you.
Jia Ruo? Where is he?
High Priest has cleared a path out of the Flower Palace.
He ordered us to...
protect your safety.
Mistress,
we can go now.
I ordered him to stay out of this!
Why is he here?
High Priest is only worried about you.
Let's get out of here.
Since you made this in remembrance of me,
then you should keep this with you,
just like I'm always by your side.
This is a small gift from me,
just accept it.
I am not at all worried about the decisions...
made by the Mistress of Moon Sect.
I am only worried about my daughter.
Mistress.
No,
I'm not leaving.
If I leave,
I will leave with my father!
Mistress.
Mistress!
Mistress, bad news!
Palace Master was captured by Snow Tower.
Gao Meng Fei sent me here,
because he wants you to be there.
Everyone, follow me!
You either die, or surrender.
There's no other way.
You're shameless indeed.
He has formidable strength.
Leave with the remaining disciples.
I can escape on my own.
As a member of Snow Tower,
I am not afraid of death.
You're so full of yourself.
Report!
High Priest,
Mistress is on her way to save her father.
Retreat!
He Er!
Gao Meng Fei,
let go of my father!
We can talk things out, just tell me what you want.
I have no conditions.
I made a wrong decision last time,
and allowed you to capture Xiao Tai.
Today, you will pay for her suffering!
Do you think we went to the trouble...
to conquer Flower Palace...
and capture Ming Che...
just to bargain with you?
What exactly do you want?
Ming He,
you abducted Xiao Tai...
in exchange for Qiu Hu Yu.
But I'm different.
I have no conditions to offer.
I just want you to know,
what happens if you taunt...
Snow Tower again and again!
No!
Mistress, Mistress!
Ming He,
do you still remember?
How you and your mother abused us in Sand Valley!
Ming Che's death is only the beginning.
He Er, go!
No, no.
Father!
Kill them!
Charge!
Father!
He Er.
Father.
Isn't this...
Snow Tower,
I will destroy you!
Retreat!
Wait.
Only Xuan Yin Heart Sutra...
can kill a person this way.
It seems...
Where is Jing?
Tower Master,
Lady Jing went to search Flower Palace with Hong Chen after the battle.
Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
"In loving memory of Ming Yin"
"Ming Yin"
I finally found this place...
before your birthday.
Xiao Yin,
there's no wine,
and no candles.
I mourn you,
with this melody.
I was late. I failed to save your father.
He had planned to fight to his death...
in this battle against Snow Tower.
That's why he decided to defend Flower Palace.
Don't be too sad about it.
Mistress,
Snow Tower released sky lanterns...
and bombarded Flower Palace.
Palace Master and I barely escaped.
But he was infuriated...
and led the disciples into the formation.
He was eventually surrounded by Snow Tower's assassins.
I planned to let him escape first.
However,
Palace Master refused to do so,
and was captured by Gao Meng Fei.
I failed to fulfill my duty.
Mistress, please punish me!
It's alright.
You're clever enough to...
use poison smoke as cover...
and saved Mistress.
You even managed to retrieve the body of Ming Che.
I don't deserve your compliment.
I took that from Storm League,
thinking that it might come in handy.
I only managed to save Mistress in the nick of time.
It was Gao Meng Fei.
He was the one who lured me in.
He wanted to kill my father...
before my eyes.
He humiliated me to...
avenge Chi Xiao Tai...
and the people of Sand Valley.
Although Snow Tower attacked Flower Palace,
Moon Sect is still their main target.
Ming He,
you have to pull yourself together.
They've destroyed Flower Palace.
I won't let them get away with it.
Don't worry,
Gao Meng Fei will pay for what he did to you today.
No,
I don't want you to avenge me.
Mistress,
Gao Meng Fei did this...
because we saved Qiu Hu Yu.
During the fight between Flower Palace and Snow Tower,
Storm League stood by and did nothing.
We may send Qiu Hu Yu to pursue and kill those of Snow Tower...
to ease your pain, Mistress.
Who killed the most of our disciples this time?
Gao Huan, the assassin of Chuihua House.
All right,
take the heads of Gao Meng Fei and Gao Huan as retribution.
Yes!
Why didn't you discuss your plan with me?
I made this decision on my own.
But if we hadn't cracked Flower Thorn Formation,
I would miss the chance to release the sky lanterns.
Casualties are inevitable in the battle.
This is the only way to solve the formation with minimum casualty.
If you think that...
I've made a mistake,
please punish me.
What about the death of Ming Che?
You killed Ming Che in public,
that might ease your hatred.
If you brought him back to Snow Tower,
perhaps...
If I brought him back here,
he might be useful.
But last time,
Ming He came here blatantly.
We were put down...
and couldn't fight back.
If we don't retaliate this time,
the rumors will spread,
Snow Tower's reputation will be affected.
To Moon Sect,
the death of Ming Che...
might be a lethal strike.
If Lady Jing feels bad for Ming Che's death,
think about what happened to Sand Valley.
You!
You acted decisively...
and seized Flower Palace.
It is a great contribution.
I'm not worthy.
Gao Meng Fei,
you're credited for the destruction of Flower Palace.
I'll grant you the title of Lord.
Thank you, Tower Master.
I won't let you down.
Now that the destruction has been done,
you must pay attention to the aftermath.
Make no mistakes.
Yes.
I'll excuse myself.
I know what you are thinking.
He may not have done it appropriately,
but nothing's wrong with the overall result.
As for the way Ming He threatened Snow Tower with Xiao Tai,
he has made them pay.
He is ruthless and decisive.
That's what Snow Tower needs now.
Jing,
there's something...
I want to discuss with you.
Tell me.
Since we've conquered Flower Palace,
we may proceed further...
and scout around Lingjiu Mountain.
As to prepare for the attack of Moon Sect.
If it's possible,
I'd like to go to Moon Palace...
and meet my mother.
That's too dangerous.
I know.
Ming He entered Snow Tower openly...
and threatened me using my mother.
You should know how I felt.
If it is possible,
I would break into Moon Palace now...
and save my mother.
I don't want her suffering imprisonment for another day.
Flower Palace suffered great loss.
I'm worried that Ming He will...
vent her anger onto my mother.
Rest assured,
I will be fine.
Moreover, you're by my side,
aren't you?
Why?
We were brought together in our fight for justice.
But you...
were only thinking of revenge.
I can't control what happened in the past,
but if you couldn't let go,
you should've fought me valiantly.
Why resort to such despicable acts?
Is this Ren Fei Yang's sword?
Correct.
When we swapped our swords,
he was looking forward to having an adventure with me.
He didn't know that...
I found out his identity because of that.
It was a blood feud.
I couldn't let it go.
I know Ren Fei Yang treated me truthfully.
But I killed him to avenge my parents.
You must disapprove of me.
But all I want is justice...
for my mother.
Now...
that you know Ren Fei Yang is still alive,
will you seek vengeance again?
I thought revenge...
would give me a peace of mind.
But when Ren Fei Yang collapsed,
I felt a sense of grief that I'd never felt before.
And when I knew he was still alive,
I felt at ease again.
Maybe all along,
it was me that I couldn't forgive.
Perhaps deep down,
I never wanted him to die.
I work for Snow Tower,
in the hopes that...
they can find Ren Fei Yang for me.
But I found out afterward that...
the revenge I seek all this while...
was insignificant.
Maybe...
this is a good thing.
It must be hard for you to tell me all this.
I have disturbed Snow Tower for too long.
It's time for me to leave too.
Where are you going?
Back to where I came from.
The world is big enough...
for me to find a place to live.
You!
The world is big indeed.
But you need someone to rely on.
There are days ahead of us.
I'm not sure if I have the right...
to be with you.
I don't know if your hatred is gone or not.
But Ren Fei Yang...
has entered the Storm League.
I cannot just sit by.
Would you be able to...
make him leave Qiu Hu Yu?
Flower Palace was destructed...
because I had underestimated Gao Meng Fei.
I had let my guard down.
However,
I delayed the funeral because I wanted to...
kill the both of them...
to mourn the soul of my father.
The Storm League has joined forces with Moon Sect.
I won't stand by and do nothing.
Don't worry, Mistress.
How is your injury?
I was injured by the gunpowder when Gao Meng Fei attacked Flower Palace.
The injury is nothing,
but I must have my revenge.
I've received news that...
the elites of Snow Tower...
joined forces to defeat Moon Sect,
and got back on the threat you posed on them earlier on.
Within a month,
I want Gao Meng Fei and Gao Huan killed.
I will do my best.
You can take Ren Fei Yang with you.
He's acquainted to Gao Huan and Ye Feng Sha.
When time comes,
you can control Ye Feng Sha with him,
and make Gao Huan surrender.
He can be of use to you.
Thank you for your advice.
Why don't you rest in your room, Mister Bi Luo?
I'm bored. So I'm taking a walk.
How's your injury?
It's nothing.
Doctor Mo has treated me.
It's a minor injury.
I was lucky to have dodged in time.
If not, I would have died.
With your sword skills,
this person must possess formidable strength to hurt you.
He was using a strange technique.
His inner energy contains poison.
Those who have fought him...
would die by poisoning even if...
they weren't hurt by his inner energy.
Did you discover anything else in the fight?
He was ruthless and cruel.
The disciples of the tower didn't just die,
their inner energies were absorbed, and their veins shattered.
I've never seen such martial skill throughout my life.
I wonder who this man is.
It seems that Jia Ruo has mastered Xuan Yin Heart Sutra.
It's bad for us to have...
such a powerful enemy in Moon Sect.
Do you know this man?
I've seen him once.
I heard that you'll return to Snow Tower tomorrow.
Yes.
The attack on Flower Palace...
must have agitated Ming He.
In order to avoid troubles,
we'll make further plans when we get back.
Tower Master,
what plans do you have for me?
It seems...
that you have made up your mind?
If you will allow,
I'd like to join Snow Tower,
to serve at your command.
Why did you change your mind?
I have settled my affairs.
And after the Flower Palace incident,
Moon Sect will surely go after me.
You said so yourself,
I have no better options.
Gao Meng Fei has seized Flower Palace.
Yi Qing is heading back.
He will arrive in a few days' time.
"Flower Palace seized, returning in a few days' time"
He made it.
Xiao Tai,
Gao Meng Fei has made great contribution.
But he is arrogant and ruthless.
You are close with him.
When he returns,
be sure to give him some advice.
Besides brute forces,
justice and benevolence are equally vital.
Benevolence?
Justice?
What would that bring?
Sand Valley was destroyed.
Mister Bai and father are gone.
But the Moon Sect is still wreaking havoc.
If we tolerate them again and again,
we'll just be bullied.
Gao Meng Fei...
was just teaching them a small lesson this time,
to regain Snow Tower's reputation.
Is anything wrong with that, Nan Chu?
Xiao Tai,
Master has taught us before.
Ruthlessness is just a tactic, but not our nature.
If we are constantly ruthless,
our minds will be changed completely.
We haven't changed!
It's the environment which has changed.
Everything that Gao Meng Fei has done,
is just to prove his status.
And I,
am trying hard to adapt.
Because I know,
I need to adapt...
in order to survive.
Xiao Tai,
why did you...
Nan Chu,
I don't mind telling you this.
That day,
when I was abducted and had contracted the Blood Venom,
Snow Tower was threatened because of me.
I've had a thought,
if I had to be controlled by her,
I'd rather kill myself.
Then, I could at least protect Snow Tower's reputation.
At last,
I was too scared to do it.
I didn't want to face the cruel pugilistic world.
But I didn't want to die!
I wanted to see the world again,
and see how the future will be like!
Nan Chu, do you know...
how much I hated myself back then?
Xiao Tai.
But none of you...
can do these for me.
Xiao Tai,
no matter what Ming He intended to do,
Yi Qing and I...
would've saved you first regardless.
No matter how the environment changes,
or what the world turns into,
when you're with Yi Qing and I,
you can be like how you used to be,
carefree and not a worry in the world.
Thank you, Nan Chu.
But I, am no longer the Chi Xiao Tai I used to be.
Xiao Tai!
From now on,
I have to be vigilant.
The carefree Chi Xiao Tai they once saw in their eyes...
is long gone...
by the torture this world has shown me.
