[Episode 36]

6

He has knowledge of swords.

7

Looking at the shine of the sword, he knew it was divine indeed.

8

Looking at the shine of the sword, he knew it was divine indeed.

9

Yet it was doomed to be surrounded by a world of love and hate.

10

Hence its name, Affection Sword.

11

This sword was passed around the world for a century until it ended up in the Ren family,

12

and became the possession of General Ren Huanyu.

13

No wonder you had such a huge reaction when you saw my sword.

14

No wonder you had such a huge reaction when you saw my sword.

15

And the second sword is the Tearstained.

16

It's said that when Tearstained was made, wind and thunderclouds gathered at its threatening aura.

17

It's said that when Tearstained was made, wind and thunderclouds gathered at its threatening aura.

18

Master Shao knew that the sword was murderous.

19

Many innocent lives would end by it.

20

Hence, he cried due to empathy.

21

A tear dropped on the sword's ridge and left a stain.

22

A tear dropped on the sword's ridge and left a stain.

23

Thus, the name Tearstained was given.

24

Thus, the name Tearstained was given.

25

The final man who owned the sword was my father, Gao Fei.

26

The final man who owned the sword was my father, Gao Fei.

27

He endured much turmoil in his life,

28

but he was heroic and never killed the innocent.

29

Due to the teardrop left on the sword, the murderous aura on the sword weakened.

30

I never knew that such a story existed.

31

But I can see that you're a hero, too.

32

You must've done plenty of heroic acts with this sword.

33

You must've done plenty of heroic acts with this sword.

34

Now that it's in my hands, I will not harm the innocent, either.

35

Now that it's in my hands, I will not harm the innocent, either.

36

Besides, how can one's life be controlled by a sword?

37

I'm not superstitious.

38

By the way, is there another sword named Farewell?

39

Farewell... is also named as the Farewell Hook.

40

Farewell Hook?

41

Back then, Master Shao made a mistake on the sword.

42

There was an almost invisible slight curve at the sharp edge of the sword.

43

Then, where is the sword now?

44

The sword has been passed around for so long.

45

Just like it really bid farewell to the world.

46

In the pugilistic world, the Shadow Sun Dagger and the Blood Rose Sword are the strongest remaining.

47

Blood Rose Sword?

48

Let me tell you another story.

49

All right.

50

Legend has it that for over a century, the Tearstained Sword had claimed numerous lives.

51

But if the wielder of the Tearstained Sword massacred too many, death would loom.

52

The one who kills the Tearstained Sword's wielder will be the Affection Sword's wielder.

53

The one who kills the Tearstained Sword's wielder will be the Affection Sword's wielder.

54

It has been inevitable over these 100 years.

55

One is love, one is hatred.

56

These two swords were destined to fight each other forever.

57

Do you believe it?

58

How am I to believe?

59

These two swords: one is with you and one is with me.

60

Are we going to fight each other?

61

I don't believe it.

62

At first, I didn't trust it either.

63

But now,

64

it's not for me to choose anymore.

65

Who are you?

66

Why do you say that?

67

You have to keep your guard up in this sinister world.

68

What do you mean by that?

69

Grudges from the past generation.

70

Your grandfather...

71

hung my father to death in public.

72

My grandfather, Ren Huanyu?

73

Why did he kill your father?

74

My father was under your grandfather's wings in the army.

75

During a suppression of the rogues, he had a change in mind

76

and spared the women and the young in the valley; disobeying military orders.

77

He was then hanged on the city gate...

78

whereby we were not allowed to collect and bury him.

79

My father...

80

was exposed under the sun for more than three months.

81

Since then, my family lost its glory...

82

and my mother died of insanity.

83

She made me swear by her deathbed...

84

to spare no one from the Ren family.

85

That includes you.

86

Seems that you won't be letting me off today.

87

Fine.

88

I had intended to have a duel with you.

89

Come at me with all you got.

90

What nonsense about the Tearstained losing to Affection.

91

I don't buy any of this crap.

92

Lie down.

93

What?

94

Why?

95

We were brought together in our fight for justice.

96

But you... were only thinking of revenge.

97

I can't control what happened in the past.

98

But if you couldn't let go, you should've fought me valiantly.

99

Why use such despicable acts?

100

When we exchanged swords,

101

I asked if you'd regret it.

102

You said you wouldn't immediately.

103

Seems like the legend is true.

104

Tearstained Sword's wielder will die under the Affection Sword.

105

We will bid farewell now.

106

I'll leave this sword to keep you company.

107

It's been hard on you, Lady Xue.

108

May I ask if the medicine for Tower Master is ready?

109

May I ask if the medicine for Tower Master is ready?

110

I'm fine.

111

It's my duty to cook Tower Master Xiao's medicine.

112

This Feathered Snow Lotus was plucked by Lady Jing in great hardship.

113

This Feathered Snow Lotus was plucked by Lady Jing in great hardship.

114

I have to be careful.

115

That's true.

116

The affection from Lady Jing to Tower Master is just...

117

Both of them...

118

You're back, Mister Gao!

119

What happened?

120

When I arrived,

121

it was too late.

122

They're all dead?

123

The Storm League was stronger than we imagined.

124

I never wanted to go home.

125

Knowing that father sold me away to the brothel heartlessly,

126

I thought I couldn't care less about what happened to them,

127

but I never thought I would feel so torn!

128

My father, mother, younger brother, and sister: are all dead because of me!

129

Mingyan, I'm still here.

130

I'm also your kin.

131

I shouldn't have left back then.

132

I should've died in Yi Hong Brothel.

133

Then, they wouldn't be dead now.

134

Blame it on me for being late.

135

How can she blame you?

136

This is caused by the Storm League.

137

This sword belongs to Ren Feiyang.

138

Where is he?

139

Dead.

140

But why is his sword with you?

141

Where's your Tearstained Sword?

142

Before we went to the Shi Manor, I had pledged brotherhood with him.

143

We used our swords as a token of exchange.

144

But I never thought...

145

Ren Feiyang,

146

if we had no grudges from the past, we could have been the best of brothers.

147

Don't run!

148

Still running?

149

Stay still!

150

If you ever disappear, I'll search the entire pugilistic world.

151

All the way from Heaven to hell, just to get you back.

152

Mister Bi Luo, how are your wounds?

153

I never thought that Tower Master Xiao would send Chi Xiaotai for assistance.

154

What happened between you two is over.

155

Why do you still care?

156

Besides, talents like you are ones I'd like to recruit to the Snow Tower.

157

That's why I sent those whom I trust to assist you.

158

Then, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed yet again.

159

I appreciate the goodwill of you for...

160

saving me and my sister.

161

It's just that I'm too used to being free.

162

I don't want to be caught in either sides of pure and evil... like a prison.

163

If that's so, then I will not hesitate.

164

After you recover,

165

I will make my requests for the goodwill I've given you in return.

166

All right.

167

Mister Bi Luo had countered the Flower Thorn Formation twice.

168

You must be familiar with it.

169

May you sketch it down...

170

so that I can simulate and solve it when I have some free time?

171

Mister Bi Luo!

172

This medicine may be useful for your wounds.

173

I have something to ask you.

174

May I know where you learned the Purple Bamboo Tune from?

175

Seems like this medicine... is an exchange for this answer from me.

176

However, I am badly wounded.

177

I don't know if this is enough for me.

178

Doctor Mo and Lady Xue are experts of medicine.

179

It will definitely cure you.

180

I'm not trying to show off.

181

This medicine...

182

can be considered as a thank you gift for your outstanding play of harmony.

183

Do take this medicine along with you.

184

If ever you encounter poison again, this will serve you well.

185

I've traveled the south before.

186

In an isolated market,

187

I'd met with a madam.

188

She was working while humming the tune.

189

The song was melodious.

190

In her tune, I can hear deep longings for her hometown.

191

I took a liking to it immediately and memorized it.

192

Where was that?

193

I remember... that place was called...

194

Qing Feng Town.

195

Do you know who she was?

196

What her name was?

197

That, I don't know.

198

But I still remember that everyone on the streets called her...

199

Zhu Niang.

200

It's my fault.

201

I did you and your brother wrong.

202

The ancient laws of the Long family state...

203

that twins are cursed and one of them must die.

204

But how can I bear to let the Long family murder my daughter in cold blood?

205

No wonder.

206

No wonder it sounds so familiar... when I hear you play it.

207

I can see that you and her...

208

do look alike in some ways.

209

I wonder...

210

She was my mother.

211

Such a pity that...

212

I can't hear her singing the Purple Bamboo Tune anymore.

213

I'm so sorry.

214

Sorry for being such a joke.

215

No.

216

Lady Hong Chen, why don't we do this?

217

For every day that I'm here in the Snow Tower,

218

I will play this song for you.

219

What do you think?

220

Thank you.

221

You're awake.

222

How do you feel?

223

I can't take the honor for having you come personally.

224

Please return to your matters.

225

Jing...

226

I'm only mildly wounded.

227

Don't worry.

228

How can I not worry when you act like your life doesn't matter?

229

I will choose my own death,

230

how does it concern you?

231

You'd made yourself clear...

232

back on Jun Mountain.

233

I, Shu Jingrong,

234

am merely a pawn to the Snow Tower.

235

If that is so,

236

why worry yourself over me?

237

Time for medicine, you two.

238

Tower Master Xiao, the Feathered Snow Lotus is done.

239

Jing, take your medicine.

240

Jing?

241

♫ The drawn sword drew a red painting ♫

242

♫ Blood is spilling as the murderous one wields ♫

243

♫ Once famous in the world, but clueless about love and hate ♫

244

♫ She's too naive, but a human heart is treacherous ♫

245

♫ I hate myself for being a mute ♫

246

♫ How do I tell her... ♫

247

♫ to let down her guard ♫

248

♫ as happiness awaits her? ♫

249

I don't have to drink this Feathered Snow Lotus then.

250

♫ Slipping through my fingers like the sand ♫

251

♫ Could I really be cursed? ♫

252

Xiao Yiqing!

253

♫ Those stories about me ♫

254

♫ That I'm cruel and lonely ♫

255

♫ But I refuse to give up our love ♫

256

♫ All the hearts that owned me ♫

257

♫ They have all become demons ♫

258

I will choose my own death.

259

How does it concern you?

260

Xiao Yiqing!

261

Xiao Yiqing!

262

♫ It's torture, she withers before she blooms ♫

263

You are...

264

I've asked someone to cure you.

265

You are safe for now.

266

To be a vengeful corpse...

267

or an ignorant waste...

268

is but a decision of the moment.

269

There is never an end to revenge.

270

We've only just cleared the past generation's enmity.

271

The hatred in the world... never comes to an end.

272

You saved me, so that I would enter the Storm League?

273

We can help you kill Gao Huan and retrieve the Affection Sword.

274

But I'll never kill any women nor children.

275

One's faith is destructible.

276

I will let you see for yourself how one's mind can be wrecked.

277

It's all my fault.

278

I've caused all of your deaths.

279

Mother,

280

even though I hated Father, I never wanted him to pay with his life.

281

Not to mention, you and my siblings.

282

Ren Feiyang,

283

I'm sorry.

284

I shouldn't have asked you to avenge me.

285

Now, you're dead, too.

286

I can't repay you... in this life anymore.

287

I hope in the next life...

288

Who are you?

289

Don't be afraid.

290

I have no intentions against you.

291

I don't know you with the mask on.

292

How can I trust you?

293

Never mind if you trust me or not.

294

Your family were killed by the Storm League.

295

Don't you want to avenge them?

296

Why do you care?

297

To avenge me, Mister Ren got killed in return.

298

That being said, you and the Storm League have old and new unresolved feuds.

299

Are you afraid of them?

300

I'm not.

301

If I get the chance, I'd kill Qiu Huyu even if it takes my life to do it.

302

With your strength alone?

303

How can you do it?

304

I have a way.

305

That can assure your revenge is served.

306

What is it?

307

This is just the deposit.

308

When you're done, you'll get triple.

309

Seems like this is a big deal.

310

If not, why would the Mistress of the Moon Sect come here personally?

311

On Jun Mountain, I helped you escape the wrath of the Shadow Sun Dagger.

312

Shouldn't you express your gratitude?

313

The silver needle was yours?

314

On the peak of Jun Mountain, you could have killed Shu Jingrong easily.

315

Why did you let her go and help her down the mountain?

316

Back then, she was the one who saved me from the Moon Sect.

317

The trip at Jun Mountain... was just a return of favors.

318

Now that you've cleared scores, things will be easier.

319

I want to see Shu Jingrong's head in half a month's time.

320

From what I know, the greatest enemy of your sect is Xiao Yiqing.

321

Why don't you ask for his head instead?

322

Take the money. Do the dirt with no questions asked.

323

Hasn't this always been the Storm League's motto?

324

It's a pity that my memory is good.

325

Images of how your sect massacred my whole family are still vivid in my mind.

326

Our organization will never accept...

327

tasks from your sect.

328

You and your organization don't get to choose.

329

The Snow Tower will attack you with full force.

330

Only by joining forces with me will your survival rate increase.

331

After you've thought it through, send me a message.

332

[Flower Thorn Formation Plan]

333

This Flower Thorn Formation is formed using the ninth element of the eight Trigrams.

334

If someone got trapped, it would be hard to escape without countermeasures.

335

Seems like the Flower Palace had new moves after the Exotic Flower Formation was cracked.

336

You're planning to attack the Flower Palace again?

337

Now that they're under the Moon Sect,

338

we have to remove them beforehand before attacking the Moon Sect.

339

we have to remove them beforehand before attacking the Moon Sect.

340

The Flower Palace is at the center of Yunnan.

[Flower Thorn Formation Plan]

341

It is a natural cover and barricade to the Moon Sect.

342

You're desperate to save your mother.

343

Why don't I...

344

Tower Master,

345

the Storm League is observing us. We can't underestimate them.

346

the Storm League is observing us. We can't underestimate them.

347

The tower requires attention from

you, and both lady and lord.

348

I would like to ask for permission to attack the Flower Palace.

349

Senior Brother, Gao Mengfei is right.

350

Attacking the Moon Sect must be prioritized.

351

Will you please discuss with Lady Jing for the most effective methods?

352

Though I'm not strong, I want to request permission to attack them as well to share the burden.

353

Fine.

354

Mister Bi Luo.

355

Are you leaving?

356

Yes.

357

After you leave, the Snow Tower

358

After you leave, the Snow Tower

359

will never hear of such a well-played Purple Bamboo Tune.

360

will never hear of such a well-played Purple Bamboo Tune.

361

Lady Ye.

362

Young Hero Gao.

363

This is for you.

364

Young Hero Gao practices martial arts.

365

You travel around the world, too.

366

So, I've sewn heavenly clouds on the pouch and made a blessed knot below.

367

I wish that you can be safe from every trip you go on.

368

Thanks.

369

What did Shu Jingrong arrange for Ye Fengsha?

370

She must've left her in the tower.

371

Ye Fengsha is Bi Luo's junior.

372

If she settled her down simply, wouldn't it be a waste?

373

If she settled her down simply, wouldn't it be a waste?

374

If we can utilize Ye Fengsha,

375

maybe we can keep Bi Luo in the Snow Tower, too.

376

You want to try persuading Bi Luo on behalf of the Tower Master?

377

Yes.

378

Bi Luo is a skilled man.

379

If he can join the Snow Tower,

380

it will be beneficial for our attack on the Moon Sect in the future.

381

Mister Bi Luo,

382

I detest people who leave without bidding farewell.

383

Besides, things between you and I are not settled yet.

384

What if I'm determined to leave?

385

If I'm determined to make you stay?

386

I hear that the Shadow Sun Dagger is invincible.

387

But it's still a cold and lifeless weapon.

388

I wonder how skilled you are in person.

389

Do you dare to take a few moves from me with your bare hands?

390

If you're asking for a spar, I'm willing to oblige.

391

Tower Master Xiao, I lost.

392

You're good, Mister Bi Luo.

393

It was a tie for this round.

394

I wonder if you're willing to join us now.

395

One is to live like an exile and run mindlessly,

396

another is to join the Snow Tower and gain a place in life.

397

If I have to choose, of course, I'll choose the latter;

398

If I have to choose, of course, I'll choose the latter;

399

but I'm too used to being alone.

400

Besides, I have some matters unaccomplished.

401

So today, I won't be able to accept your generous offer.

402

Bi Luo, why do you leave in such haste?

403

Bi Luo, why do you leave in such haste?

404

You didn't even tell me.

405

If I told you, you would definitely ask me to stay.

406

If I told you, you would definitely ask me to stay.

407

Right?

408

I know your character well.

409

Even if I pleaded to you, you would never go against your will.

410

I'm used to being a nomad.

411

That's why I never settled down.

412

Are you really leaving?

413

Within the Snow Tower, there's someone I never want to meet ever again.

414

I've heard about Lady Xiao Yin.

415

It's in the past.

416

Don't mention it.

417

Then, where are you going this time?

418

There's an unfinished matter about Xiao Yin that lies in my heart.

419

What is it?

420

When Xiao Yin passed away, the Flower Palace sent people to retrieve her body.

421

Her father wanted to see her one last time.

422

Their kinship is strong. That's undeniable.
