[Snowy Night Timeless Love]

[Episode 23]

Trust me.

I can't trust you.

I only trust myself.

Is your chief inside?

Chief

is resting inside.

Have a good rest first.

Chief Xue.

Shuang Hong.

Keep an eye on the medicine for me.

Okay.

What?

What brings you here?

Chief Xue,

I've almost recovered.

I want to have a drink with you.

Now?

Before I leave.

Mo's illness can't be delayed any longer.

I should set out.

You just recovered.

If you leave now,

your wounds will open up.

Stay for observation for two more days.

The day after tomorrow,

Mo's medicine will be ready.

If you go southward as fast as you can,

he can take the medicine

within a month.

Unknowingly,

eight years have passed.

Thank you.

For what?

Thank you

for saving Mo

and me.

This is Sword Sect's token.

Take it.

I know it's not Eye's intention

to kill people or do bad things.

But others may not be able to accept it.

With this token,

at least the people of Sword Sect

won't give him a hard time.

Why don't you give it to him yourself?

I'm not close to him.

I'm willing to protect him

just because

he is your younger brother.

Was he the one in the medicine hut

just now?

He's weak.

I was treating him.

I'm still wary of him.

After I leave,

you should be more cautious.

Mingjie.

Mingjie?

Where is

the Dragon Blood Pearl?

You actually hurt

your own meridians to break the blood seal

of the Conception and Governor vessels.

I'll ask you one last time.

Where is

the Dragon Blood Pearl?

If you act like this,

how can I give you the Dragon Blood Pearl?

Let me go.

I'll give it to you.

Cut the crap!

I told you I don't trust you.

If you don't trust me,

you can't get the Dragon Blood Pearl.

Just

cut the crap!

I'll kill you.

If you can be happy

and won't return

to the Yuan Yi Palace after killing me,

just do it.

What?

You can't do it?

Let me help you.

I'd like to see

if my Brother Mingjie

has the guts

to kill me today.

You're Eye, the best killer of the Yuan Yi Palace.

You can't even kill

a defenseless woman?

Do it!

Kill me!

Kill me.

I'm right here.

Do it.

Why?

Why are you not afraid of death?

Death?

Having lived this long,

I'm no longer afraid of anything.

I hope you

won't live in darkness

and can live well.

Mingjie.

Foolish!

Do you know what I've been through

over the past few years?

Xuehuai.

In the Asura Field,

I was defeated and humiliated

again and again.

I tried so hard to survive,

but I could only kneel in front of Doctrine Leader

and let him humiliate me

by treating me like a dog with a pat on my head.

Why?

Why must

living people feel it all,

but you can rest in peace

here?

Mingjie from Mo Family Village is dead.

From today onwards,

these memories will have nothing to do with me.

Leaving in the middle of the night?

Xue Ziye.

Xue Ziye.

T-This is

the Dragon Blood Pearl?

Legend has it that

it can kill the Demon God.

With this,

Doctrine Leader will die for sure.

Since we've got it,

we can leave now.

You killed the chief?

No.

Why not?

This is not like you.

To avoid being noticed

by the people of the Yuan Yi Palace,

we'll split up.

After you go back,

go to Miao Shui first

to learn about the recent situation.

We'll meet later.

Okay.

He was so cruel.

If the wound were any deeper,

it could cost Chief her life.

Stupid woman.

You go out first.

Help Granny keep an eye on Mo's medicine.

-Yes. -Yes.

He lied to you.

Why didn't you tell me?

Were you worried that I would kill him?

Who is he?

The best assassin from the Asura Field

of the Yuan Yi Palace.

Do you really think past bonds matter to him?

If you really died,

you wouldn't even know how it happened.

With his temper,

he could have killed me.

But he didn't.

He didn't.

Because he left in a hurry

and his sword missed its mark.

He's the best assassin of the Yuan Yi Palace.

Killing me

is as easy as killing an ant

for him.

But why didn't he kill me?

Why don't you understand?

He's regained

all his memories,

but he still left.

That means the past

doesn't matter to him anymore.

He doesn't want to go back to being Mingjie.

Maybe he can't go back at all.

He didn't kill you.

That can only prove there's still

a trace of conscience in him.

That's all.

That's enough.

Fine.

Since you said so,

please take it easy.

Don't be so sad about this, okay?

He saved me.

He's my only family.

I can't leave him behind anymore.

All right.

Since he has left,

it means he has decided to go back

to the Yuan Yi Palace to be an assassin

and return to the bloody martial world

to continue to fight

instead of staying here

and trying to accept his past.

You said it yourself.

He chose the path.

You can't stop him.

Actually, I hid it from you

not just because I was worried

you would kill him.

Then what's the reason?

Because I betrayed your trust.

The Dragon Blood Pearl was taken away by Mingjie.

I've always failed you.

Go to the cold spring with me.

Looks like he did come here

before he left.

♫How many obstacles must one overcome in life?♫

♫Love is the hardest obstacle of all♫

Xuehuai,

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

I failed to make Mingjie stay.

He went back to that horrible place again.

♫Drifting always, looking for the shore♫

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

♫Why fear the coldness of fate?♫

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

♫And light up the rest of our lives♫

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

♫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♫

♫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♫

♫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♫

♫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♫

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

It's already midnight.

Let's go back.

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

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

Thank you.

It was all thanks to you this time.

Your body has frozen.

♫A branch moves, dancing with the wind♫

♫The moonlight shines thousands of miles to fill the wilderness♫

♫I've traveled all over the world to capture it in a poem♫

♫The brush stops, leaving a lone person leaning against a plum tree♫

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

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

When you find out

the prescription

with rare herbs

from eight years ago

♫My hesitations left too many regrets♫

still can't save Mo,

will you still

treat me so well?

♫Will you spend your time with me?♫

In the future,

how should I face you?

Mo's medicine

will be ready tomorrow.

You've fully recovered.

You can leave

the day after tomorrow.

Okay.

Have a good rest.

Rejuvenate your spirit before you leave.

Huo Zhanbai.

♫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?♫

What's the matter?

You once said

after you got the Dragon Blood Pearl and came back,

I could tell you what I want.

Of course.

I want to see the aurora.

You owed me

a wish years ago.

Can you go with me?

Of course.

Even if you didn't ask,

I will go with you.

Have you made up your mind?

Are you really going to use the opportunity?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Be careful.

We're going up the mountain soon.

Can you do it?

Yes.

Be careful.

Follow my footprints.

Why have you stopped suddenly?

Why were you laughing just now?

I was laughing because you

have unparalleled martial arts skills

and have always left

no trace

and been carefree.

But now, you're leaving

such clumsy footprints.

In life,

many things

inevitably leave traces.

Leaving traces

can help us remember.

Otherwise,

it would be like this snowy wilderness,

vast and blanketed in white,

buried

and hidden.

When the sun rises and the snow melts,

won't those many things

seem as if

they never occurred?

Time flows by swiftly,

but many things

are as transient as dew.

Sometimes,

forgetting might actually be a good thing.

We should hurry up.

The mountain path is becoming steeper.

I don't know when we can reach the summit.

Wait a minute.

Take this.

It'll be easier for you to walk.

Let's go that way.

That way?

We'll make a detour if we go that way.

Aren't you in a hurry?

I don't come out frequently.

So why don't I take my time and enjoy the journey?

Listen to me this time.

You have a cold disease.

You can't travel far.

I've explored this path.

If we go a bit further,

we can see the aurora.

It also has the shortest round-trip time.

It's just that

the path is a bit challenging.

It's fine.

I'll listen to you.

Let's go.

It started to snow suddenly.

I wonder if we

can see the aurora.

The weather in the mountain is very changeable.

Maybe it won't be snowing when we reach the summit.

We will see it.

Okay.

Hang in there.

The stars in the sky,

when connected together,

are like a hunter

drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

The three stars in alignment

mark the location of Alnitak.

Are they

the Three Stars of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity?

Seeing those three stars aligned

is an auspicious sign.

Although we can't see the aurora,

we saw a starry sky.

I've never seen

such a brilliant starry sky before.

Why don't we

drink together

under the stars tonight?

What do you think?

You're well-prepared.

Of course.

I told you I'd take good care of you.

Come on.

I remember

when I first entered the valley,

I accidentally went to the cold spring

because of drinking.

At that time,

you wouldn't even

say a single extra word to me.

After I took back the Seven-Leaf Fungus,

I got to drink

Laughing at the World for the first time.

♫As the wind blows and the snow falls, the scent of plum blossoms sighs♫

It's just that...

It's just that you drank it on credit.

You had to pay your debts.

♫You nestle close, your whisper slow and tender♫

I learned a few tricks,

which came in handy

when I was in Yangzhou.

♫In the shadow, the stories of the heart remain untold♫

After I returned to the valley from Yangzhou,

we truly drank together

for the first time.

Am I right?

Is that so?

♫The bright moon in clouds reminds me of yesteryear♫

Of course.

I was lying under the plum tree in a daze.

♫Drifting like smoke, I journey into the long night♫

It seemed I heard someone saying

she wanted to drink with me.

Was that you?

♫In so deep, I'm trapped in the whirlpool of fate♫

I'm afraid you were drunk

and had a dream.

Then

who got drunk a few days ago

and threw pastries at me?

♫In this world, light takes your form♫

♫Following your direction, together we tread this path♫

It's been so many years.

You still remember everything.

♫Joy and tears blurred the line between love and hate♫

All these years,

♫Eyes reddened, love etched on the heart♫

I've kept the taste

of every drink in my heart.

Come on.

You haven't drunk

too much today.

But why do I feel you seem drunk?

In terms of getting drunk,

you won't get drunk if you don't want to.

But if you want yourself

to get drunk,

you'll get drunk soon.

What's so strange about it?

Then why do you want to get drunk today?

I got drunk from the beginning.

That's why I came here

to see the aurora with you.

What?

Do you regret it?

I regret coming here

only to miss the aurora.

Although we didn't see it this time,

there will be a next time.

There's plenty of time ahead.

Yes.

There will be a next time.

As long as you still welcome me to the valley,

I'll traverse mountains and rivers

to come back

to see the aurora with you.

You're so shameless.

Who needs your company?

The weather here is changeable at night.

Why don't we

go back early?

I'm worried about your health.

I want to wait a little longer.

Okay.

Then let's wait a little longer.

Let's go back.

What?

You don't want to wait?

No.

Didn't you say

you would see it with me next time?

Okay.

I'll keep my promise.

Don't move.

Come on.

It's been eight years.

You're finally going to find out the truth.

Don't you feel cold waiting for me here?

I'm not like you, a fool.

When I feel cold,

I would warm myself.

So you really are waiting for me?

I'm going to leave.

Can't you say something nice?

You've known me long enough.

This is Mo's medicine?

What?

You're reluctant to give it to me?

-Actually... -Actually,

all these years,

you've been trying your best

to keep Mo alive.

You've done enough.

I thank you on behalf of my junior.

After the medicine is delivered,

you should settle down

to have a good rest.

The medicine is in the wooden box.

You must carry it with you all the time.

Remember,

you must go to Guazhou

through Yangzhou.

After you arrive in Yangzhou,

remember to open the box.

After you open it,

you can go back to Guazhou.

Okay.

Got it.

You can't open it before you arrive in Yangzhou

or after you leave Yangzhou.

Okay. Okay.

I promise I won't open it

until I arrive in Yangzhou.

Okay?

The Fate-Reversal Token...

-I'll return it to you -Return it to me

-after Mo fully recovers. -after Mo fully recovers.

Go now.

Do you still remember

what you promised me under the plum tree?

What did I promise you?

After Mo fully recovers,

I'll come back to the Apothecary Valley to live here permanently

and do odds and ends.

I was too drunk that day.

I don't remember.

What?

You want to break your promise?

I didn't really

promise you that day.

But I've gotten used

to drinking Laughing at the World.

If I can't drink it anymore,

I will feel very regretful in the future.

Without Laughing at the World,

you can try new wine.

When you get used to it,

you won't

think of Laughing at the World anymore.

♫A cup of wine, a toast to the world, as wind and snow knock on the door♫

Looks like you

really don't welcome me

back to the Apothecary Valley.

♫Sigh for love and hate, leaving no trace upon the palm♫

Have you really taken this place

as an inn?

You think you can come and go

as you like?

This is not your home.

♫Life drifts like dust, when will we meet again?♫

Although it's not my home,

it's better than my home.

♫From vibrant warmth to icy cold, it's just a single turn away♫

♫Gaze at the stars, question the truth of Heaven and Earth♫

You're so shameless.

♫We reunite in the silent night, melting the coldness♫

I'll take that as a yes.

I didn't...

It's too late

to change your mind now.

♫With pure and earnest hearts, how many lovers remain?♫

♫Warm wine shared over forgotten dreams, to carry us through life♫

♫Across vast mountains and seas, I offer myself to you♫

♫Guarding every lonely night, holding a light for you♫

♫I give my remaining years, how could I ever break free?♫

Remember to bury a pot of Laughing at the World

♫Love falls like silent snow, sweeping away lost souls♫

under the plum tree.

Let's drink together when I'm back.

I'll surely beat you.
