[Episode 2]

6

I will safeguard this Blood Rose Sword for you.

7

I hope you live a life with no sorrow and danger,

8

and there will be no need for the Blood Rose Sword to resurface.

9

Junior Sister,

10

go on. Kneel and show respect to Master.

11

Master.

12

On your feet.

13

Thank you, Master.

14

From tomorrow on, you shall train alongside your two brothers.

15

Master!

16

May I ask? The person who came with me to Sand Valley, where is he now?

17

You mean, the young master of Snow Tower?

18

He was badly injured.

19

He is recuperating in a room now.

20

His master will take him away first thing tomorrow.

21

To never to return to Sand Valley.

22

Thank you for keeping vigil with me the other day,

23

but I've decided to stay.

24

Master says you'll be leaving Sand Valley tomorrow.

25

I don't know if we'll ever meet again.

26

Let's promise to meet again someday.

27

You must stay healthy and no longer be stricken by illness.

28

This is for your apprentice to take along the way.

29

The rest, you may take it as you journey.

30

It's great for the healing of the body and mind.

31

Wonderful.

32

We've been at each other for most of our lives.

33

Seeing you go now, I admit, you will be missed.

34

You old man.

35

When did you get so sentimental?

36

I'm only going to Thermal Valley for a few short years.

37

Once Yiqing overcomes the cold virus in his body, I'll be right back.

38

I'm taking this chance to nurture this old body of mine.

39

Be extra careful on your way.

40

Your vitality is badly hurt by this passing of power.

41

You must not get into fights.

42

All right, old man.

43

Were you always this naggy?

44

Rest assured, Mister White.

45

I will make sure my master is safe.

46

All right then.

47

Get going now.

48

Then, I'll be leaving.

49

Come here, Junior Sister!

50

Come here!

51

Here.

52

A few days ago, Master taught me new swordplay.

53

I'll teach you in a while.

54

Let's go.

55

Senior Brother!

56

Wait up!

57

Senior Brother.

58

Junior Sister.

59

I took it from the kitchen when Master wasn't looking.

60

Go on, eat it.

61

Idiot.

62

Besides Master, there's only three of us here.

63

Who else would steal food?

64

I bet you're sharing because you're scared you'll be punished if he finds out,

65

that's why you're dragging us down with you.

66

You! Are you going to eat it or not?

67

I have to get back to training.

68

If Master checks on me, I'll be doomed!

69

Eat it, it's fine.

70

Nothing goes unseen by Master in this institution.

71

Just that he never says it out and doesn't mind.

72

Here. You can have mine, too, Junior Sister.

73

Let's find Yu for some training.

74

Soon enough, your sword skills will surpass his.

75

Come on.

76

[Nan Chu: Disciple of Xue Gu]

77

[Snow Tower]

78

[Snow Tower]

79

Greetings, Young Tower Master.

80

Tower Master awaits you in the grand hall.

81

Please hurry along.

82

[Snow Tower]

83

[Snow Tower]

84

[Xiao Yiqing: Young Master of Snow Tower]

85

[Snow Tower]

86

[Snow Tower]

87

[Mai Qiancheng: Lord of Snow Tower]

88

[Promised Land]

89

I see you're back, Yiqing.

90

Uncle Mai.

91

It's absurd that you would encounter assassins on your return.

92

It seems I'm ill-equipped at security.

93

It's been ten years.

94

I can't believe the Snow Tower has been swept by snow and winds.

95

You can rest assured about that, Yiqing.

96

It's crazy that this bunch broke into royal property

97

and attempted assassination here.

98

As the Snow Tower Lord, with or without the orders of the Tower Master,

99

I will get to the bottom of this.

100

We'll be depending on you, Uncle Mai.

101

Oh, right.

102

This door,

103

please do get it fixed.

104

Don't you worry about that.

105

Timber. Snow Tower has plenty.

106

How has my father been?

107

Ever since ten years ago, when the Tower Master and Moon Sect battled,

108

he's never gotten back up.

109

Rumor has it, Tower Master is too bedridden to care about the world.

110

But I don't know why he can't be bothered even about affairs of the tower.

111

Often, he only gets punctual updates from the Lan Xue Council.

112

Even to that, he does not respond.

113

So all these years, affairs of Snow Tower were taken care by Mai Qiancheng?

114

Indeed.

115

Mai Qiancheng was once Tower Master's best subordinate.

116

All of Snow Tower trust him.

117

Now, he rules with total authority.

118

At present, people of Snow Tower know only of Lord Mai,

119

but have forgotten Tower Master Xiao.

120

Young Tower Master, I have some errands to sort out.

121

I'll be going now.

122

Senior Brother,

123

what do you make of my return to the disciples of Snow Tower?

124

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

125

Say no more, Junior Brother.

126

I know exactly what you mean.

127

You've always lived an isolated life.

128

It's only now that you're summoned here,

129

and the pugilistic rank of Snow Tower is no longer as it was.

130

Now, all party forces are ready to strike.

131

I fear there may be treachery.

132

The trickiest ones of all are not those out there,

133

but those within Snow Tower.

134

Nevertheless, you shouldn't worry.

135

You have me.

136

Xue Wen will cease to exist in Moon Sect.

137

She will never be by your side ever again.

138

- Rebel Xue Wen...

- Xue Wen!

139

has been sentenced to death!

140

[Lingjiu Mountain, Nanjiang]

141

[Gu Guang: Left Guardian]

[Qing Hui: Right Guardian]

142

It's been ten years.

143

In these ten years, time flew by in the blink of an eye.

144

Do you have news for me?

145

Reporting back, Mistress.

146

The Crown Prince of King Zhen Nan has departed to Luoyang.

147

This time, he is likely to lodge at the residence of Head of Secretariat, Xie Lizhou.

148

Well done.

149

What about the Snow Tower?

150

Ever since the battle with Snow Tower,

151

I've had to recuperate for ten years until I was recovered.

152

I wonder, how Snow Tower is faring?

153

Reporting back, Mistress.

154

Reportedly, in these ten years, Xiao Shishui has never stepped out of Snow Tower,

155

and has been too preoccupied to care for the tower's affairs.

156

Therefore, Snow Tower has long lost its place in the pugilistic world.

157

My Moon Sect only grows stronger with time.

158

Disciples of Moon Sect shall forever be glorious!

159

[Qing Ming: Disciple of Bai Di]

160

Madam Zi.

161

[Zi Mo: Guardian of Snow Tower]

162

Greetings, Young Tower Master.

163

Young Tower Master,

164

this is all the information on the Xie family.

165

Feng Qing Garden received a commission from the Xie Residence.

166

But because it's unrelated to the pugilistic world, Snow Tower has yet to respond.

167

Why has the Xie Residence approached the Snow Tower?

168

The daughter of the Xie family is getting married.

169

Today is the day she leaves home.

170

Unexpectedly, as the groom was taking the bride home,

171

they were kidnapped by mountain bandits.

172

Xie Lizhou hopes that we will lend a hand

173

to save his daughter, Xie Bingyu, and ensure her safety.

174

With the reputation that the Xie family has in Luoyang,

175

why would they come to us for help?

176

Because Mister Xie put his pride first before his own kin.

177

The mountain bandits are not just a baseless rumor.

178

The Crown Prince of King Zhen Nan is headed to Luoyang.

179

Upon arrival, they will lodge at the Xie Residence.

180

Xie Lizhou is unwilling to speak up,

181

yet still wants the Crown Prince to lodge safely.

182

Therefore, they are seeking out the Snow Tower for help.

183

What kind of life does Xie Lizhou live?

184

From what I know, Xie Lizhou is usually very cautious,

185

regardless of when he's a chancellor or an official.

186

Because he hates trouble,

187

so he normally lives in harmony.

188

Madam Zi, you are amazing.

189

You're able to get such detailed information on the Xie family.

190

It was because my father was unjustly imprisoned.

191

I had no choice but to become Xie Lizhou's fifth wife.

192

Please excuse me.

193

No worries.

194

Go on and reply to Xie Residence.

195

This task, Snow Tower will accept it.

196

Today, you'll know...

197

where my integrity lies.

198

Master, catch!

199

Come out! Who goes there?

200

Who dares to play tricks?

201

Get the hell out right now!

202

How dare you challenge Blue Wolf alone?

203

Attack!

204

Release her!

205

I had thought you were someone capable,

206

but I guess it's just fancy moves.

207

Kill her!

208

Talk! Who ordered you to kidnap Lady Xie?

209

I've been a mountain bandit my whole life.

210

I search only for money.

211

Nobody's the boss of me!

212

They knocked on my door with pieces of golden leaves.

213

They said if I kidnapped Lady Xie, I would be rewarded with a box of golden leaves.

214

I have no idea who gave the orders.

215

Where are the golden leaves?

216

Take him down.

217

That ace serves him, yet this man looks so frail.

218

Perhaps, he is more than he seems.

219

Lady Xie, I, on behalf of Snow Tower, have been commissioned to rescue you.

220

Was it my mother?

221

You must be Young Tower Master Xiao of Snow Tower.

222

The return of Young Tower Master to take Snow Tower affairs has long been rumored.

223

You... are the Young Tower Master of Snow Tower?

224

Why?

225

Do you know me?

226

- I'm Xiao Yiqing.

- Careful, Young Master.

227

I mean no harm.

228

I'm the Young Tower Master of Snow Tower, Xiao Yiqing.

229

Let's promise to meet again someday.

230

You must stay healthy and no longer be stricken by illness.

231

- Protect the Crown Prince!

- Yes!

232

[Ye Huo: Citizen of Nanjiang]

233

Don't be alarmed.

234

He's here to protect us.

235

[Qing Lan: Disciple of Bai Di]

236

Your Highness, Qing Lan, the eldest disciple of Bai Di, at your service.

237

My master received a letter from the Queen Consort of King Zhen Nan.

238

It said that the Crown Prince was in grave danger, and sent me here to safeguard the Crown Prince to Luoyang.

239

It said that the Crown Prince was in grave danger, and sent me here to safeguard the Crown Prince to Luoyang.

240

No need to compensate.

241

I've been traveling with fear.

242

Finally, you are here, Young Hero.

243

I can be at ease now.

244

You must be Lady Ye Huo.

245

Thanks for coordinating with me.

246

All this while, we've only communicated through letters and never met.

247

Seeing you just now, I was very impressed.

248

The sword aura in the woods was aggressive.

249

No doubt, a disciple of Bai Di.

250

I'm truly in awe.

251

I'm grateful to have met you today.

252

I am not worthy, My Lady.

253

It was all thanks to the guiding sound of your flute;

254

or else, I wouldn't have known where the Crown Prince was.

255

Please excuse me for not greeting you earlier.

256

This formality is too uneasy.

257

From now on, I shall call you Qing Lan.

258

Let's not be strangers.

259

Brother Qing Lan.

260

Earlier, I'd corresponded with Lady Ye Huo,

261

advising Your Highness to secretly leave the tavern

262

with a different route through the mountains, to hide in the woods,

263

and leaving my brother Qing Yu to disguise as Your Highness;

264

diverging the attention of the Moon Sect

265

to lure out the killer.

266

[Yunxiang Tavern]

267

[Qing Yu: Disciple of Bai Di]

268

Crown Prince, an assassin is found!

269

[Feng Qing Garden]

270

Thank you, Young Master Xiao.

271

Thanks for saving me, My Lady.

272

How may I address you, My Lady?

273

I...

274

At the time, bandits were on the loose,

275

I'm sure anyone would want justice served.

276

What's more, the one you should thank is Snow Tower.

277

Anyway, I'm truly grateful to you and Young Master Xiao.

278

I am well now.

279

I'll be heading back, so my mother knows I'm safe.

280

Lady Xie, hold on.

281

I'm afraid you can't go back to Xie Residence.

282

Mister Xie has already announced news of your death.

283

I understand your concern, Young Master Xiao.

284

My father has always valued an honorable reputation.

285

Today, I was publicly kidnapped by mountain bandits, ruining our reputation.

286

To the Xie family, a dead virgin

287

is better than

288

a living daughter with a stained reputation.

289

This was what you used to try and kill yourself.

290

I believe it is unnecessary for explanations.

291

This hairpin was specially given to me by my father on my 15th birthday.

292

The engravings write...

293

"Stay true, love fiercely, be humble, be noble."

294

I decided to take my own life, only to protect my purity.

295

Blood and family are naturally above all else.

296

How could there be such a heartless house rule?

297

I see you are at a crossroads, Lady Xie.

298

I do have a solution that may make this clear,

299

but I have a condition.

300

Please tell me your condition, Young Master Xiao.

301

I want your jasper hairpin, Lady Xie.

302

Young Tower Master.

303

The guest room for Lady Xie is ready.

304

I can take her there now.

305

Thank you, Young Tower Master.

306

If I may ask, where do you live?

307

Why were you alone on a mountain in the middle of the night?

308

I was about to pay a visit to my parents' graves.

309

I'm sorry.

310

It's all right.

311

You still suffer from your old illness?

312

How did you know that I have an old illness?

313

I...

314

My... My master is a master of medicine.

315

I've been by his side since young, so I know a thing or two.

316

It shows from your complexion.

317

About Lady Xie, how ever do you plan on settling?

318

Make it a parade to send Xie Bingyu's body back home.

319

I will still need your help with this.

320

Madam Zi.

321

Young Hero Nan Chu,

322

please forgive me.

323

Might I ask? Who is the lady in the room?

324

I can tell, Young Tower Master treats her differently.

325

How different?

326

Not much.

327

Just that I think, Young Tower Master treats her special.

328

They are just old acquaintances.

329

Oh right, Madam Zi.

330

This golden leaf was what we found on Blue Wolf's body.

331

Have you seen this before?

332

This golden leaf is made by the Qian family safe room.

333

There's no other like it.

334

It's just that the Qian family safe room was robbed a few days ago.

335

I wonder if there is anything fishy about that.

336

[Xie Residence]

337

Open the casket.

338

With a daughter like this, who is to blame?

339

Bingyu.

340

Who is to blame?

341

My daughter!

342

Close the casket.

343

Close it right away.

344

- Move the casket to the backyard right away.

- Yes.

345

Bingyu!

346

Dear! Dear.

347

Who would have known that when you left home,

348

it was our final goodbye, my daughter.

349

- I want to see my daughter again!

- Dear!

350

Dear, you must not, my dear!

351

Dear!

352

Our little girl has now perished into the air.

353

Just let her rest in peace!

354

- Bingyu.

- Let her go.

355

Thank you, sir.

356

Bingyu.

357

Young Tower Master.

358

Snow Tower was unable to carry out our mission.

359

We've let you down, Mister Xie.

360

We are truly sorry.

361

Don't be.

362

Our little girl has always been headstrong.

363

I know...

364

The Snow Tower and Young Tower Master have done your best.

365

I blame no one. I blame no one.

366

I blame...

367

I blame this dangerous world.

368

I blame my daughter for having to go through this torment!

369

Bingyu...

370

I originally only wanted to secretly conceal the past,

371

but now everyone knows you took your life for the sake of purity.

372

You are the pride of our family.

373

I had no choice, for people will talk.

374

Seal the casket.

375

Seal the casket!

376

If there is a next life...

377

my dear daughter!

378

Let us be father and daughter again!

379

Rest in peace.

380

Rest in peace!

381

Rest in peace, my child!
