[Snowy Night Timeless Love]

[Episode 25]

It's cold these days.

Don't let Bao catch a cold.

Always heat up your food

and dress warmly outside.

If anything goes wrong,

I won't let you off when I come back.

Don't worry. You too.

You'll be out alone.

Dress warmly

so you don't catch a cold.

Speak for yourself.

Your cold will be gone

after a few more doses of medicine.

Don't forget to take them.

Okay.

Fengxing.

I don't know when I'll return.

It depends on Mo’s condition.

It could be a few days

or one or two months.

You'll be alone at home.

You must be extra careful.

I'll wait for you.

If I find out

you're fooling around,

I'll break your legs.

I'll bring you back

your favorite plum blossom cakes.

Come back soon.

The so-called perfect couple

is no big deal, I see.

Fifth Brother.

Stop dawdling.

Let Senior Liao go.

Bye, Fifth Brother.

Take care of your sister-in-law!

Don’t worry!

Chief.

Come in.

Is he awake?

You saved Envoy Miao Feng.

When he wakes up,

are you really

leaving the valley with him?

Silly girl.

I saved him

only on account

that we were chess mates.

When he wakes up,

I'll make him leave the valley.

I was worried

you'd go with him

because you're concerned of Mr. Mingjie

who went to Yuan Yi Palace.

If I thought so,

I'd have agreed in the first place.

You can

hide it from Shuang Hong...

but not me.

Since you've guessed it,

I'll be honest with you.

Yes.

I've decided.

When he wakes up,

I'll go to Yuan Yi Palace with him.

Ziye.

Think it over.

Yuan Yi Palace

is a dangerous place.

You are so weak.

How can you take the risk alone?

I know that, of course.

But Granny,

you know me best.

This time,

I must go.

I understand.

You always

put others first.

What about yourself?

What about Mr. Huo?

The Laughing at the World wine under the plum tree

is almost ready.

He hopes to come back

to drink with you.

Can you really bear to

leave him a lone soul in the moonlight?

If he finds out the prescription is fake,

will he still drink with me?

Silly girl.

You know he will.

If he

finds out

your decision today,

he'll be

a million times more heartbroken than us.

I'd love to want for his return

and drink with him under the plum tree.

Even if I apologize to him face to face,

But I must go

to Yuan Yi Palace too.

Chief.

Granny, Shuang Hong.

I've made up my mind.

I hope

you'll keep this secret for me

so only the three of us know.

Before I leave,

you mustn't tell the others.

After I leave,

just tell them

I went to Sword Sect to treat the injured,

lest they

worry like you two.

Promise me.

You two will have to bear this burden alone.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

While I'm gone,

please

take care of the valley

and wait for me.

Silly girl.

Why are you crying?

It's not like I'm not coming back.

Don't move.

The wound on your abdomen is deep.

You can’t get out of bed.

Chief Xue.

You recovered so quickly.

I knew it.

You deliberately avoided

cutting your blood meridian,

betting I won't watch you die.

I can kill myself now

to calm your anger.

But before that,

please head to

Kunlun as soon as possible

before my leader's condition worsens.

He poisoned you with Ice Silkworm Poison when you were little,

yet you are willing to die for him?

I'm indebted

to my leader.

I don’t understand.

You don't know that

I'm originally from the Sang royal family.

Later, the state was in decline

and we were forced into exile.

We encountered bandits on the way.

I survived till now

thanks to him.

So I'll devote my lifetime

to serve him

at any cost.

So it seems

he'd done something good before.

I've heard of the sect's Five Sages.

I wonder if they're all

under his tutelage

because he saved

their lives.

Please lend a helping hand.

Before you invited me out of the valley

as Yuan Yi Palace's envoy,

you cut ties

as a chess mate.

Since you

didn't use our ties to threaten me,

you're still a gentleman.

I promise you.

I'll go to Kunlun with you

to treat your leader.

But

I have one condition.

Anything you want.

Is it up to you?

Yes, it is.

The leader stated that

as long as you agree to treat him,

I can agree to

any request.

Looks like

your leader is

really sick this time.

My condition is simple.

After I leave the valley,

the valley's safety must be guaranteed.

Of course.

Okay.

A day later,

I'll go with you

to Kunlun.

Thank you.

But can we leave tomorrow morning?

I can.

But you can't.

You'd better lie down and rest.

The sooner you recover,

the sooner we can leave.

Okay.

Seven.

Actually, I have to thank you.

If it weren't for you,

my silly disciple

wouldn't have let go of her obsession.

She has been working too hard these years.

Now that she can let it go,

she can start over.

Chief Liao.

Your disciple's quite the drinker.

I'm looking forward to going back

to the valley

to compete with her.

You can never beat her.

She learned

drinking

and the finger-guessing game from me.

Do you know?

Your fifth brother Wei Fengxing

became mine

because he lost to me.

If you go back,

you might end up in the same plight.

That's nice too.

I wonder what you're doing now.

♫I have a pot of new wine and a warm stove♫

♫When the sky is about to snow, I can have a drink♫

♫My hesitations left too many regrets♫

♫Will you spend your time with me?♫

♫Several times my sleeve brushed by, wanting to pause my hand♫

♫Feelings are hard to describe, yet they long to pierce my heart and soul♫

♫I gaze at the mountains and rivers, seeking a place to return♫

♫Yet my true home lies in the deepest part of your gaze♫

♫I have a pot of new wine and a warm stove♫

♫When the sky is about to snow, I can have a drink♫

Ziye.

I will return soon.

♫My hesitations left too many regrets♫

Please wait with the warm wine.

♫Will you spend your time with me?♫

Actually,

I've long devoted myself to you.

I miss you so much.

Ziye's been busy all day.

She's getting ready for bed.

Let's wait until she wakes up.

Granny, don't stop us.

Please let us in.

Granny.

Yes.

Let them in.

-Chief! -Let us in.

Go in.

Ask Chief.

Chief!

What is it you have to ask?

Chief.

The villagers said

you're going on a long trip.

Is that true?

I couldn't hide it from you after all.

Chief, you're too weak

to leave the valley!

Yes, Chief.

Don’t go, okay?

Chief, you can’t take it.

Don’t worry.

I'm going

to treat the old chief

of Sword Sect.

I'll be heading south.

It's good for my cold disease.

Besides,

the man from Sword Sect said

he knows the Spring Breeze technique.

His internal force is strong.

He can expel the cold for me.

With him escorting me,

you don't have to worry.

But we still...

Didn't you hear what Ziye said?

Spring Breeze

will keep Ziye safe.

I studied medicine.

I can confirm.

Don’t worry.

Even Granny Ning agrees.

Can you

finally rest assured?

Chief.

In that case,

why don't you take me with you?

I can

take care of you on the way.

Yes, Chief.

You'll take care of me?

You're so reckless.

Won't I end up

taking care of you instead?

Chief! Chief!

I’m not reckless.

Let me go with you.

We can take care of each other.

You'd better

stay in the valley

and study medicine.

I'll test you when I come back

to see if you’ve improved.

Chief,

take me then.

I'm strong.

I'll do all

the manual labor.

I think you're just

eyeing Jiangnan food

and want to eat all along the way.

If there's time to spare,

we can do that.

Oh, buzz off.

Chief.

Take me with you.

Look at them.

One wants to eat,

and the other can’t learn anything.

I can find good food

for Chief.

Why are you fighting with me?

I'm the best choice.

I'm the best.

Why don't we go together?

-Sounds good! -Sounds good!

What's good?

Your medical skills are so poor.

How can I take you there?

Stay put in the valley

and improve your medical skills.

Go back now.

Alright.

Let... Let Chief rest.

Let’s pack her luggage for her.

-Fine. -Fine.

Chief.

We’ll go

pack your things.

Granny, you should rest early too.

Xuehuai.

I know you won't

wake up again.

You've been alone

in this ice

for so many years,

sleeping for so long.

You must be freezing

and very lonely.

Master is right.

I shouldn't

force you to stay here.

I'm sorry.

Xuehuai.

It's time to send you home.

Chief Xue.

It’s cold at night.

For your health,

you should go back and rest early.

Before we leave tomorrow,

take the man in the ice

in the cold spring too.

Okay.

See you at the valley entrance

at dawn tomorrow.

Chief.

It’s so late.

Why are you still up?

Why are you still up?

We’re preparing

your luggage for you.

But I'm more and less prepared.

It’s a long journey.

What you prepared

aren't enough.

How much do you think

I've to prepare?

Do you think

I'm going to open a grocery store?

What do I need five hand warmers for?

Silly girls.

Why don't I just pack

the entire Apothecary Valley?

We also said you don't need so much stuff.

We don't care what illness

that Chief Nangong has got,

but with you treating him,

it'll take

at most a month.

Plus the journey back and forth,

it'll take at most three months.

It was Shuang Hong

who was worried about this and that.

See?

You got scolded by the chief.

I’m not scared of some scolding.

It’s better than

Chief not having what she needs.

Sword Sect

isn't some remote place.

If Chief needs anything,

she can buy a new one.

New ones aren't

as handy as old ones.

Shuang Hong was thoughtful.

It's really too much.

It's too heavy.

I don't need this much.

Take them back.

It's not like I won't come back.

Shuang Hong.

Are there coffins left in the valley?

Why do you need a coffin?

I want to send Xuehuai home.

Um...

Why?

Chief.

Why do you suddenly want to

get Mr. Xuehuai out of the ice?

Why do I feel like

something's off?

This means Ziye

has really let it go.

Isn't this a good thing?

Yes.

We should be happy for Chief.

During my absence,

you must listen

to Granny Ning.

Help each other

and compromise.

If there is a dispute,

Granny Ning has the final say.

Don’t make her angry.

-Yes, Chief. -Yes, Chief.

Also,

after I leave,

you must cultivate for two hours

every morning.

Read at the library for four hours.

Get up early every day.

Recognize

and taste the herbs.

Learn the nature of every herb.

Then practice suturing

on tofu.

Okay! Chief, I...

Chief.

That's too packed a schedule.

How about we just

practice suturing every day?

Learning the herbs and whatnot...

You must improve

your medical expertise.

I've written some medical cases

on the prescriptions.

If you have any questions,

you can have a look at them.

When I come back,

I will test you one by one.

If you fail,

you'll be punished.

Don’t punish us.

Chief, don’t punish us.

Then practice hard.

Alright.

It’s late.

Let Chief rest early.

Chief.

When are you leaving tomorrow?

Around 8 a.m.

Let’s send Chief off together.

-Okay! -Okay!

Rest early.

Shuang Hong.

Remember

what I told you.

♫How many obstacles must one overcome in life?♫

♫Love is the hardest obstacle of all♫

Why did you bring so many hand warmers?

♫We're like a lonely sail in the vast world♫

Better safe than sorry.

What if Chief gets cold?

♫Drifting always, looking for the shore♫

Is this enough for Chief?

Chief will be back soon.

It's enough.

Yes.

Granny.

♫We've crossed hundreds of rivers and scaled thousands of mountains♫

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Get the coffin ready.

♫Why fear the coldness of fate?♫

Park the carriage at the entrance.

Let's prepare it tomorrow morning.

Isn't she leaving at 8 a.m.?

It's not too late to prepare tomorrow morning.

♫If the night is lonely, I will be the lamp♫

Let's go rest today.

Listen to Granny.

You can go and rest.

♫And light up the rest of our lives♫

I'll go prepare.

Um...

Let's go too.

Let's go together.

Okay, hurry up.

♫Whether it's fate or calamity, entangled in destiny♫

Granny.

Let's go.

♫The past is like an unbearable illusion, yet I remain resolute♫

♫Toasts exchanged, how many nights has snow fallen?♫

♫The past fades with the dimming night♫

♫A lifetime with one person and one heart, all for a fleeting warmth♫

May your obsession be a crutch

to aid you through the snowstorm.

♫Bit by bit, day by day, year by year, fragments of memories♫

Now the obsession is gone.

Your best friend's wish

is warm like a fire,

♫Gatherings, separations, joy and sorrow, the myriad facets of life♫

so you no longer fear the snowstorm.

♫Looking back at the fleeting snow and wind, I have no regrets♫

♫Bid farewell in the first wasteland♫

♫Only with flaws can it be considered complete♫

♫Bloom or wither, the snow is like me♫

♫Both fearless and brilliant♫

♫Whether it's fate or calamity, entangled in destiny♫

♫The past is like an unbearable illusion, yet I remain resolute♫

Grow new buds in the old soil.

Plant it by the window.

Water the new bud

to welcome a new life.

♫Toasts exchanged, how many nights has snow fallen?♫

Wait for me to return.

♫The past fades with the dimming night♫

♫A lifetime with one person and one heart, all for a fleeting warmth♫

♫Bit by bit, day by day, year by year, fragments of memories♫

♫Gatherings, separations, joy and sorrow, the myriad facets of life♫

♫Looking back at the fleeting snow and wind, I have no regrets♫

Fate makes fools of us all.

I made you fall into the icy river.

Now I'm bringing you

out of the ice.

I'm sorry.

Looks like Granny and Shuang Hong

know I want to leave

without saying goodbye.

Why don't you want to

say goodbye to your attendants?

In the days I was here,

I could tell that you're all close.

When they wake up

and see you're gone,

they'll be sad.

If we don't say goodbye,

we’ll meet again.

Are you worried about your cold disease?

I promise I'll protect you.

Xuehuai.

Let’s go home.

Chief Xue.

We should go.

I hope Chief has a safe journey

and returns safely.

[Jiuyao Villa]

Mrs. Qiushui and Mo

are here?

Yes.

Oh no.

What's going on?

Mo.

Mo!

I brought your medicine back.

Why didn't you

wait for me?

Didn't we agree that

when I come back,

I'll teach you swordsmanship?

Mo.

Senior.

Junior.

What took you so long?

Mo said he missed you.

I...

What did I do wrong?

Junior.

♫How many obstacles must one overcome in life?♫

Why must the heavens

take away all the people I love?

♫Love is the hardest obstacle of all♫

Why is it that the more

♫We're like a lonely sail in the vast world♫

I want it,

the more I can't keep it?

Is it because

I married Chonghua on impulse

♫Drifting always, looking for the shore♫

when I was young?

♫We've crossed hundreds of rivers and scaled thousands of mountains♫

So I have to make one mistake

after another

and end up like this?

♫Why fear the coldness of fate?♫

Junior.

Why?

♫If the night is lonely, I will be the lamp♫

Why are you doing this to me?

Why did you leave me alone

♫And light up the rest of our lives♫

In this world?

Why?

♫Whether it's fate or calamity, entangled in destiny♫

Why?

♫The past is like an unbearable illusion, yet I remain resolute♫

Junior.

♫Toasts exchanged, how many nights has snow fallen?♫

Madam!

Junior.

Junior!

♫The past fades with the dimming night♫

Junior.

♫A lifetime with one person and one heart, all for a fleeting warmth♫

Has she not eaten

for a few days straight?

After Young Master Mo passed away,

♫Bit by bit, day by day, year by year, fragments of memories♫

Madam was so devastated.

She wouldn't even drink water.

♫Gatherings, separations, joy and sorrow, the myriad facets of life♫

She's grieving the loss of her son

and hasn't had food or water.

She fainted because of exhaustion.

♫Looking back at the fleeting snow and wind, I have no regrets♫

When she wakes up,

just take good care of her.

I was still too late.

[Autumn]

Sixth Brother.

It's been eight years.

♫Longing etched in my heart, but all it brings is parting♫

For the past eight years,

I've done everything I could

to try and save Mo.

But Mo's illness

♫Plum blossoms are about to fall; I'll see you here♫

turned out to be incurable.

♫Why are you late and why is it about to snow again?♫

It's my fault.

♫Warm stovetops and green film in wine, like an eternal farewell♫

I hope there will come a day

when we can meet in the underworld...

♫Don't stop drinking; keep lingering and enjoy the long night♫

and I can ask for your forgiveness.

♫After all these years, my yearning for you is still as clear as the bright moon♫

♫Looking into the distance, speechless and sleepless♫

♫Longing etched in my heart, but I don't wish for your acknowledgement of my love♫

♫Asking the stars about our fate, as fireworks appear in my dream♫

♫I've fulfilled my wish, having traveled this far with you♫

Mo.

I promise you

that the next time I come,

♫I've fulfilled my wish, having traveled this far with you♫

I'll teach you swordsmanship,

okay?

Pinky swear, Uncle.

Okay.

Pinky swear. Pinky swear. Promise for life!

Today,

I'll teach you swordsmanship...

to send you off.
