Listening Snow Tower (Snow Tower / Ting Xue Lou / 听雪楼)

"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 42"

Feng Sha,

it's me that they want.

Why put yourself in danger?

You left Snow Tower for me.

We promised to wander this pugilistic world together.

Now that you're in danger,

how can I go alone?

Feng Sha,

if we managed to escape this today,

let's get married, shall we?

As you wish.

What a loving pair of pitiful lovebirds.

But,

Gao Huan must die today.

Blame yourself for joining Snow Tower...

and serving Xiao Yi Qing.

You should...

hold Snow Tower responsible for this.

Gao Huan!

Feng Sha,

I've brought this upon you.

If there's an afterlife,

I still hope that...

I hope that I can meet you.

I have no regrets.

This way,

we'll stay together forever as well.

Take both of them...

back to Moon Palace...

as an offering to Flower Palace Master's soul.

So,

there is indeed such admirable love in this world...

that one is willing to sacrifice herself for her partner.

Jia Ruo,

if we were in their positions,

I'd die for you too.

But,

what about you?

Will you sacrifice yourself for me?

Madam Zi.

You look so nervous.

What happened?

No... nothing.

It's just that my mother is very ill.

I need to visit her right away.

There... There's nothing else.

This is a serious matter.

I have some savings.

Do you need some?

Never... never mind.

Thank you, Madam Zi.

I... I shall excuse myself.

Have you ever been to...

Xing Sheng Casino?

Madam... Madam Zi, please forgive me.

I was a fool to have gotten into debt for gambling.

Please forgive me!

Do you know that...

Tower Master values one's conduct the most?

You've broken Snow Tower's rules by getting addicted to gambling,

and even stole from Snow Tower.

Do you know the crime you have committed?

It's just a small matter.

You don't have to be so angry.

Lord Gao.

He just made a mistake.

As long as he repents,

that's fine.

But this...

As the Vice Lord of Snow Tower,

I'll have to share Tower Master's burden.

Let me handle this.

Yes.

Lord Gao,

I'm here this time to tell you that Tower Master has informed us,

both Gao Huan and Ye Feng Sha...

were killed by Moon followers.

Now,

Mister Zhong is on his way to meet him with some disciples.

Please make an arrangement...

to help Tower Master defeat Moon Sect.

Okay.

When I'm done with him,

I'll meet Mister Zhong.

Yes.

I shall excuse myself.

Lord Gao, please forgive me!

I know I was wrong!

Settle your problem quickly.

Don't let Tower Master know.

Thank you, Vice Lord!

I'll keep your grace in mind!

Love is not easy.

Only when I'm stronger, then I can protect those around me.

Xiao Tai,

for you,

I'll strive for a higher position.

I've only known you for days.

Swearing brotherhood isn't a thing to be casually regarded.

It is a future promise to...

help one another, to live and die together.

Can you do that?

Why are you even asking?

Since we're brothers,

we must share our life, death, honor and disgrace.

Very well.

From today onwards,

we are brothers.

I'm new to this pugilistic world,

I'll be counting on you.

I was informed that...

Gao Huan was killed by the Mistress of Moon Sect.

He's dead?

Why?

Haven't you always wanted to kill Gao Huan...

to take your revenge?

Isn't this what you wanted?

I know that...

he only killed me...

because of his mother's last words.

Spare no one from the Ren Family.

That includes you.

He didn't actually hate me.

Otherwise,

I won't be alive today.

We're blood brothers.

Our friendship...

won't change a single bit just because of old grudges.

But we stopped speaking of it,

and kept it in our hearts.

I knew it.

You hated neither Gao Huan...

nor Xiao Yi Qing.

Ye Feng Sha was in your hands that day.

You could've had your revenge,

but you chose to let them go without hesitation.

In your heart,

you've already chosen to forgive them,

haven't you?

That day,

I just wanted to know...

if his feelings towards Lady Ye was true.

I'm well aware that...

he had already let go of this matter.

Maybe...

our grudges weren't as deep as we thought.

But we've always lived with hatred.

If ever we managed to have our revenge,

we'd be the ones suffering the greatest sorrow.

The grudges between Gao Huan and I...

were all gone...

when he showed me mercy back then.

It has only been a few days,

but you've grown so much.

Well, this is what we call the pugilistic world.

How many of us can stay true to ourselves till the end?

It is more cruel than you can ever imagine.

If it wasn't Lady Jing that we met that day,

I might not have escaped so easily.

I have a favor to ask.

Please help me.

I wish to regain my freedom,

and leave Storm League for the time being.

I know that...

with my own strength,

I can't change how this pugilistic world is.

But I can't live like this, knowing what is good and evil.

I have my own principles and limits.

If I continue to stay here,

I'll only struggle more.

And I...

don't want to be changed by the world.

Actually, when I saved you...

and let you join Storm League,

I just wanted you to have a shelter.

But I don't want to get involved in their grudges.

What I want...

is the carefree life I used to have,

instead of being controlled by others.

This is not a place where you can come and go as you like.

If you leave Moon Sect now,

they won't let you off.

And with your fighting skills,

I think...

you can't even take a step out of Lingjiu Mountain.

If what you said is true,

then my death is worth it.

You have to live longer.

Or I'd have saved you for nothing.

Isn't there any other way?

There is a way...

to withdraw from Moon Sect.

But you have to take a risk.

If I can escape this cage,

I'm willing to take a few risks.

What is the way?
