[Listening Snow Tower] [Episode 41]
Stand still! Who are you?
Back off.
He's one of ours.
Why has the delivery of herbs this time been delayed for so many days?
If Mistress is unable to take her medicine on time,
even I can't guarantee your safety.
Follow me now!
Left Guardian.
High Priest has just returned to the palace.
He's asking for you.
The prayer ceremony is today.
Why did High Priest...
return alone instead of staying with Mistress...
at this important ceremony?
I have no idea.
High Priest also summoned Xue Wen and Bing Ling to the Grand Hall.
They're talking there as we speak.
I got it.
- You may leave. -Yes, Sir.
Jia Ruo is acting unusually.
We may not make it tonight.
Tower Master Xiao, please figure out a way to leave the Moon Palace as soon as possible.
I must see my mother tonight.
Even if it's just from afar.
Floating water lanterns on the day before the Ghost Festival...
symbolizes that the departed are enraged.
This is a taboo at the Moon Sect.
Xue Wen!
Shishui,
living as a fugitive for years...
has worn off our peaceful life.
The only way...
The only way is for me to return to the Moon Sect and end this.
I'll entrust Yiqing to you.
Take care.
Xue Wen.
Xue Wen!
Xue Wen! Xue Wen!
Xue Wen!
Mother! Mother!
Mother!
When parted by death,
one will feel a sentimental yearning.
Why is it a taboo?
Greetings, High Priest.
High Priest,
is there anything wrong with the water lantern?
Forgive me for I'm slow; please enlighten me.
This water lantern was found downstream at the River of Remembrance last night.
Looks like an outsider has snuck into Lingjiu Mountain.
Maybe...
that is someone from the Snow Tower.
Among the Snow Tower members,
only one person is so eager to sneak into the Moon Sect,
and would release this water lantern the day before the Ghost Festival.
I assume there's no one else, other than Tower Master Xiao...
who misses his mother dearly.
Maybe...
he's even in the Moon Palace at this very moment!
High Priest,
I've arranged for the guards...
to keep a sharp lookout.
They'll report as soon as they notice something.
Fine!
No matter who comes tonight,
if he causes chaos or trouble at the Moon Sect,
I'll use Xue Wen as the sacrifice for the ceremony.
It looks like so long as I'm alive,
my son will always have a weakness that you can use against him
and constrain him.
Well, what if I died?
Can Yiqing then...
attack Lingjiu Mountain without fear?
The Snow Tower will never allow you to deceive your disciples,
fool your followers and do evil things in the dark for your own interests!
Yiqing will serve justice.
My life means nothing.
Mother!
Madam!
Yiqing.
Madam Xue Wen!
Madam.
She's fine.
High Priest, Xue Wen is safe for now; she just fainted.
High Priest, the Lady of the Snow Tower, Shu Jingrong, ambushed us...
and defeated the Storm League outside Lingjiu Mountain.
Qiu Huyu and his men went missing while being pursued.
Looks like everything that has happened tonight is connected...
and arranged in advance.
High Priest,
Xue Wen has awakened after treatment from the witch doctor.
Guard Xue Wen and Bing Ling closely.
Xiao Yiqing has never been to the Moon Sect.
How did he know the Moon Palace so well?
And how did he...
sneak into the Grand Hall without alarming anybody?
Don't worry, High Priest. I'll investigate it right away...
and find out the person that's colluding with Xiao Yiqing.
No need.
Block all the entrances to Lingjiu Mountain and the Moon Palace.
Call all the guards back.
I'll interrogate them one by one.
Yes.
Luckily, I acted first.
If I hadn't killed them, I'd be found.
But how will Xiao Yiqing avoid being found by Jia Ruo now?
[Cave, Forest of Blue Mountains, Cliff, Foot of Blue Mountains]
If it's just a needled used for healing, why is it hidden so well?
And the Moon Sect's signs are marked on some places of the map.
What exactly is Ming He up to?
The majority of the Storm League men have died tonight.
Do you think you can start all over again?
You should not worry about that, Lady Jing.
Since I was able to start the Storm League, I can definitely regain my power another day.
Qiu Huyu, you felt pain when your family was massacred.
So, why did you slaughter the Shi family?
I had to live like an animal because of you.
If there's still kindness left in me after all these years,
I would have been dead by now.
Lady Jing, sorry I'm late.
Lady Ye and I were guarding the rear, when we were ambushed by the Storm League.
I've failed you.
Bring her out!
- Fengsha! - Freeze!
If you come any closer, I'll kill her at once.
Brother Gao, I'm sorry I was too weak.
I held you back so many times.
Ren Feiyang, what does she have to do with the grudge between us?
You said that the owner of the Affection Sword will one day be killed by the Tear-Stained Sword.
If you kill yourself with the Tear-Stained Sword today,
I'll let her go and not hurt her.
You mustn't!
Ren Feiyang, I can't believe this is what you've become!
Looks like no one will sacrifice himself for another person for no reason.
Since Lady Jing won't let us go today,
then we'll take her with us before we die.
Then, we won't be too lonely on our way to the underworld.
Kill her!
Wait!
Gao Huan!
Looks like... your feelings for Lady Ye are true.
What are you doing?
I've never hated anyone more than those who only know hatred.
Since I've released Ye Fengsha, I hope you'll let Qiu Huyu go today, Lady Jing.
But, of course, I might lose everything.
I'm just taking chances.
Let's go!
Shoot!
The Snow Tower?
I'll return to the Moon Palace.
You take charge here.
Mistress, High Priest made this arrangement himself.
He even reminded us before he left that we shouldn't act recklessly.
Settle the disturbance here quickly.
Yes.
Jia Ruo.
Lady Jing!
Lady Jing,
it's too dangerous for you to go up the mountain alone.
I've been waiting here for one whole night.
I can't stay here any longer.
Tower Master and I had agreed that if he doesn't return at first light, I'll break into the Moon Palace.
Then...
Then, I'll go with you.
No.
Someone needs to be in command of our people.
Go back to the cabin now.
If I don't return in the evening, take the rest of them back to the Snow Tower immediately.
Yes.
Xiao Yiqing must have gotten help from someone in the Moon Sect.
The bodies of the guards have turned cold for a long time.
All of them died after inhaling poisonous gas.
Xiao Yiqing came here alone.
If we're able to capture him, we'll win without having to fight.
Yet, he managed to escape in one piece.
The Snow Tower's purpose this time was to divide our forces.
And Xiao Yiqing entered the Moon Palace alone to probe us.
He's really looking down on the Moon Sect.
But you've mastered the Xuan Yin Heart Sutra now,
and Xue Wen is still in our hands.
Furthermore, with the Storm League joining us,
if we're really going to war, the Snow Tower may not have the upper hand.
Xiao Yiqing is no ordinary man.
He even broke into the Moon Sect alone this time.
If the Snow Tower wishes to cause trouble to the Moon Sect,
we have already lost the advantage.
With the current circumstance, it'll do us no good.
For now, go back first
and wait for me.
Okay.
High Priest.
Some disciples saw Shu Jingrong in the mountain.
Shu Jingrong?
Yes.
Tower Master?
Lady Jing and I thought you were still at the Moon Palace.
I just returned.
Where's Jing?
You weren't back at dawn, so she went up Lingjiu Mountain alone.
If you don't return at first light,
I will attack the Moon Palace by myself.
I'll get her back now.
Also, convey this order.
The disciples of the Snow Tower must retreat from Lingjiu Mountain at once.
Yes.
Please calm down, Mistress.
I apologize for not thinking it through.
I shouldn't have acted on my own.
Others may not know,
but you...
How can you make this huge mistake?
Anyone can go and stop Shu Jingrong except for Jia Ruo!
You've been with the Moon Sect for so long,
don't you know that Shu Jingrong is my taboo?
I am to blame.
But Mistress, Shu Jingrong is truly skilled in combat.
Besides High Priest, all the Moon followers are no match for her.
I was only worried about your safety, that's why I informed High Priest out of desperation.
Actually, you don't have to be too worried.
For so many years, High Priest has never suspected his past.
Even if he sees Shu Jingrong now, he might not remember her.
You're really good for nothing!
Mistress! Mistress!
Mistress, please don't go.
High Priest has set out to fight Shu Jingrong,
but none of us know the Snow Tower's plan.
We need someone to lead us in the Moon Sect.
Not to mention, you have to put your safety first.
I don't care.
That's not just anybody.
That's Shu Jingrong.
Mistress!
Elder Brother?
Elder Brother!
♫ The wind howls ♫
Elder Brother.
♫ Still holding onto... ♫
Is it really you, Elder Brother?
Elder Brother! You're alive, Elder Brother!
Elder Brother! You're still alive!
Why didn't I know you were still alive?
Elder Brother! Elder Brother!
♫ Lasting throughout your life ♫
Elder Brother...
Elder Brother, what's wrong?
♫ keeps coming and going ♫
♫ Kindness seeps into the bones ♫
♫ making us go insane ♫
Elder Brother,
didn't you promise... that you'll find me?
♫ Let my heart fill with love ♫
Where are you?
Elder Brother.
Elder Brother, where are you?
♫ I will drink away all our memories ♫
♫ Negotiating... with destiny ♫
♫ with destiny ♫
You know me?
I'm Ming Er, Elder Brother.
♫ So what, if it's hate? ♫
What happened, Elder Brother?
Don't you remember me?
I'm Ming Er, Elder Brother!
Elder Brother.
Ming Er?
I'm Ming Er.
Why are you so sad?
Have you met me before?
Elder Brother?
You...
♫ we played pretend ♫
♫ Who knew tears have been shed ♫
No.
♫ How will it come back around? ♫
You're not my elder brother.
You're the High Priest of the Moon Sect.
Xiao Yiqing?
I've brought our disciples here.
Since you dare break into our territory all alone,
then don't think you'll get out alive!
Seize the chance to break through them.
You leave first.
I'm not leaving.
Tower Master Xiao, we meet again.
I was defeated by you last time.
Since we meet again today, let's have a good fight.
You're right.
He's Qing Lan.
Jia Ruo, there are enough people here.
Let's return and wait at the Moon Palace.
Forget it.
- Let them go. - Jia Ruo!
I said let them go.
Why haven't they returned yet?
I wonder if Tower Master Xiao has found Lady Jing.
They're skilled fighters.
They should be all right.
Tower Master. Lady Jing. You're back.
Return to the Snow Tower at once.
Tower Master, I have a favor to ask.
This time,
I'll not return to the Snow Tower with you.
I want to travel the world with Lady Ye.
The future is full of uncertainties.
What I can do now is to choose what's best for me now.
Since you've decided, I won't force you to stay.
- Thank you, Tower Master. - Thank you, Tower Master.
He's always been compassionate to his subordinates.
But this time, the Flower Palace was defeated by the Snow Tower
and Ming He is angered by that.
Both of you must leave the Moon Sect's territory right away.
Be careful on your way.
Since you're in love with each other, it's great that you can stay together.
But Gao Huan, you have to be honest and sincere to Lady Ye.
If you quarrel again because of Ren Feiyang, it'll be a loss to your relationship.
Yes.
Lady Jing...
Farewell.
Jing, regarding Jia Ruo, I didn't mean to hide it from you.
You know me?
I'm Ming Er, Elder Brother.
What's wrong, Elder Brother? Don't you remember me?
I'm Ming Er, Elder Brother!
Elder Brother.
Ming Er?
I'm Ming Er.
Jia Ruo, do you still trust me?
I'm just doubting myself.
Recently, I'm more eager to find the answer.
It's like I'm inches away from finding the answer.
You can't trust the people from the Snow Tower.
You're not related to Shu Jingrong at all!
Have I really never met Shu Jingrong before I lost my memory?
Why did she look so sad when she saw me?
I'm Ming Er.
And when I saw her crying, why did I feel so sad?
What is it?
Is the poison backfiring?
My feelings won't lie.
If I'm Jia Ruo, then who's Qing Lan?
He...
He's not important.
Jia Ruo, don't forget everything that is happening now.
You can only be Jia Ruo.
I know you're trying to be good to me.
Let's put this matter aside first.
Jia Ruo, I don't want to bring this up anymore.
You should forget about it, too.
All right.
Lady, do you want a wooden doll?
It's fine.
Come and see!
High-quality cloth!
Lady, do you want a piece of cloth?
That's a good choice, lady.
This would be the perfect fabric for your wedding dress!
Lady, this is a high-quality fabric.
Fengsha.
Many wealthy families order fabrics from us.
And most of them are used to make wedding dresses.
Take a good look.
Fengsha, why did you come out alone?
This is the Moon Sect's territory, we have to be more careful.
I was just looking around.
I didn't mean to worry you.
Let's go.
There is nothing to see here anyway.
Let's go.
Fengsha, if you like that cloth, I'll buy it for you.
- Mister. - Sir.
- Give me that cloth. - Sure.
Lady, your cloth.
Thank you, Sir.
Don't come out alone anymore.
We can't stay long here.
Let's go now.
Have a good day, Sir!
Come and see!
High-quality cloth!
Mistress,
I've found Gao Huan and Ye Fengsha at the market
and ordered our men to tail them.
Please let us know whether we should make our move.
Gao Mengfei has returned to Luoyang.
We can't do anything to him now.
But I want Gao Huan dead.
Don't let the High Priest know about this.
Bring some of our assassins and besiege Gao Huan.
I want to kill him myself.
Yes.
Shu Jingrong, since you've found out about Jia Ruo's existence,
then I won't sit by and await my doom.
You and I... will forever be enemies doomed to the bitter end.
Out of the way! All of you! Out of the way!
That was fast.
You people of the Snow Tower are too disrespectful to the Moon Sect.
This is the Moon Sect's territory, but you dare to show up openly.
Today, I'll show Xiao Yiqing that I'm not someone to be trifled with.
Qiu Huyu first, and now the Moon Sect.
Looks like you won't let me off until I die!
Kill them!
Gao Huan!
Are you all right?
Fengsha!
Fengsha.
So full of yourselves.
Ming He, it's members of the Snow Tower you want to kill.
Don't hurt the innocent!
Let her go.
She tried to get herself killed for you, what can I do?
This is my fault.
If I didn't insist on visiting the market, you wouldn't be captured by the Moon Sect.
Get me Gao Huan's head!
If it's fated, we'll meet again.
Go now!
Fengsha.
Fengsha,
it's me that they want.
Why put yourself in danger?
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.
You left the Snow Tower for me.
And we promised to wander the pugilistic world together.
You're in danger now, how can I leave without you?
