[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 2]

Miss Feng, don't brood over it.

Why don't we think of another plan for next month?

I just wanted to move my ranking up a bit

so I could save up enough silver to leave this place sooner.

Would you tell me about your father?

Why would you ask about that?

I might be able to help you.

Too many people are involved in that matter.

You can't help me.

There's no need to ask about it.

Madam Blossom.

Miss Feng, congratulations.

Congratulations?

What's there to congratulate?

A prestigious customer has come to visit you.

A prestigious customer?

Young Master Yu.

Young Master Yu.

Miss Feng.

My young master has paid enough taels of silver

to book you for the month.

I've been booked?

Exactly.

Miss Feng, shouldn't you welcome Young Master Yu in quickly

and attend to him well?

Hurry up.

Young Master Yu of the Flame Villa has booked Miss Feng for a month!

Change the rankings immediately!

- Yes! - Yes!

Yu Zi Han has also moved in here?

Exactly, Wu Xia.

He's staying right next door.

He can't use either of his legs, but he had a courtesan booked?

Isn't he afraid of being ridiculed?

Could he have also come for the champion of the Gorgeous Beauties Ranking?

Young Master Yu, would you like me to run some hot water for you

so you can take a bath?

Miss Feng, please leave the room with me.

You'd like me to leave?

His Highness doesn't wish to be disturbed.

When will you head home?

I know that you're smart, Miss Feng.

I'll be honest with you.

My young master didn't come to Blossoms House

to spend the night with you.

He came for that Miss Ru Ge in your room.

Ru Ge?

You address her as Miss Ru Ge?

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Miss Feng, you really are smart.

But please don't worry, Miss Feng.

We'll pay the taels of silver as agreed. You won't be mistreated.

All these years in the brothel, I've met all sorts of customers.

Don't worry. I understand.

Senior Yu, how did you find me here?

You asked me about Dao Wu Xia.

I guessed that it must be related to his trip here

so I thought I'd try my luck.

So you were here all along.

Nothing gets past you, huh, Senior Yu.

You've been away for three months.

I was worried about you.

Ge'er, when will you come home?

I don't know.

Everyone is really worried about you.

What about him?

Did he ask about me?

Did he ask where I went?

Just pretend that you didn't see me here.

Ge'er...

Let's not discuss that.

Senior Yu, if anyone told the others at the Flame Villa

that Yu Zi Han, who spent years alone in the bamboo forest

unexpectedly booked a courtesan at Blossoms House

I don't think any of them would believe it.

You didn't tell anyone about what I'm doing?

That's good.

Say, do you think that Dao Wu Xia really came all the way here

just to seek pleasure with the courtesans?

I have my doubts about that as well.

We should just wait and see.

His intentions will be clear soon enough.

Sure.

[Blossoms House]

Mentor.

I wasn't aware that you had returned today.

- I didn't have the time to-- - It's all right.

Get up.

I, Yin Xue, have always been wise

why do I have such a dork for my disciple?

Mentor, you must have been hunted by assassins all along the way?

They were just some scoundrels.

They aren't worth mentioning.

However, as for her...

How has she been doing these days?

The Young Mistress takes great care of herself.

Good.

Mentor, I've actually already interacted with the Young Mistress.

Would you like me to arrange you to meet the Young Mistress?

I'll find the right timing myself for her to get to know me properly.

Give me a ticket!

I'll pay for it!

I have taels of silver!

All entry tickets are sold out today!

Come back some other day.

Hold on!

Let's go.

Didn't I pay you enough taels of silver last night?

I even often tip your servants 10 some taels at a time!

Young Master Lei, that was yesterday.

But now the tickets are sold for the next five days.

I can't do anything about it. Excuse me, Young Master Lei.

- Pack things up and go. - Yes.

- Yes. - Don't leave!

- I have taels of silver! - I have money!

I want to buy a ticket!

You don't even want our money? What a damper!

Let's go! We won't come here again!

How is this the way to do business?

We'll come back tomorrow?

Let's go.

It's you?

Why are you following me around?

I noticed that night just how uncommon you are.

What's uncommon about me?

I'm just a maid.

That night, Prince Jingyuan took several glances at you.

If you're just some ordinary maid

he surely wouldn't have stolen glances at you?

What are you up to?

Nothing much.

I won't expose you anyway.

I just want you to get me a ticket.

What ticket?

The ticket to the Blossoms House!

You only need to pay taels of silver to get in.

Why would you need tickets?

That was before Yin Xue returned so now tickets are required.

Who is Yin Xue?

Seriously?

You didn't become a maid here in order to see Yin Xue?

Anyway, I want a ticket. Yes or no?

I don't even know where to get the ticket--

This is bad! Second Madam is here! Go!

What?

This is explosive from the Thunderclap Sect! Run!

Second Madam--

Who said that you can come to Luoyang?

You and Father always talked about the most gorgeous beauty.

I'm curious so I came to have a look.

I've already told you that you're not to meddle in my affairs.

I promise.

I'll leave right away after I get to meet Yin Xue.

Second Madam, show me some mercy!

Don't keep hitting me on the same spot--

Master wants you to scram back to the Thunderclap Sect!

Second Madam, you're lying!

My father wouldn't have cared about me!

I'll go home after I've met Yin Xue!

Young Mistress.

I got it!

Young Master Yu, this is the finest Junshan Island’s Silver Needle tea.

Thank you, Young Master Yu.

Miss Feng, when I went downstairs to buy some things

I saw so many people outside and it was bustling.

What had happened?

Yin Xue has returned.

Yin Xue?

Yin Xue is the champion of the Gorgeous Beauties Ranking

and publicly acknowledged as the top beauty in the world.

Yin Xue is often out traveling for years.

Whenever Yin Xue returns, it always gets so bustling.

I see.

Yin Xue isn't just beautiful but also a grand master in zither.

It isn't just the vulgar pugilists who wish to see Yin Xue

but even influential officials and princes.

Yin Xue is the grand master of zither?

Youqin Hong is Yin Xue's disciple.

That was why he is so skilled in zither.

A grand master in zither but also Mister Youqin's mentor?

Miss Feng, you make me want to meet Yin Xue as well.

There are too many who wish to meet Yin Xue.

But Yin Xue only stays in the Blossoms House for a night.

The Blossoms House can only fit this many people

so those who wants to meet Yin Xue will have to get tickets in advance.

It's no wonder that little rascal asked me for a ticket.

What is it?

Didn't you buy some tea just now?

What took you so long?

Right, I ran into a little rascal on the way.

I got in so easily?

Why should I buy a ticket?

You should take better care of yourself.

Especially your legs.

Right, I'd like to borrow the music score of "The Traveler’s Dream."

"The Traveler’s Dream?"

Father once mentioned this music score.

Someone had brought it into the palace.

Could he be related to the imperial family somehow?

Sure, I'll get Huang Cong to bring it to you.

Sure.

I'll get it done right now.

Aren't you curious about why I need that music score?

You don't have to explain anything.

If you ask for it, I'll give it to you.

[The Traveler’s Dream] Young Mistress.

This music score is bestowed by the emperor so you mustn't lose it.

Don't worry.

I'll bring it back once my friend makes a copy of it.

Mister Youqin?

Mister Youqin?

It's you?

It's you again?

I should be here! This is the backyard of the Blossoms House.

- All right. - Mister Youqin.

Why have you tied Mister Youqin up?

He kept yelling.

I finally managed to sneak in but I'm worried that he'll get me caught.

This is the first time that

anyone has ever dared to attack someone from the Blossoms House.

What's so scary about the Blossoms House?

Do you know who I am?

I don't care who you are.

That man... is so highly skilled in martial arts?

How could he be tied up by me?

How would I know?

- Mister Youqin-- - Hold on.

Why do you keep pestering me?

Is this how you should speak?

Listen up.

I'm the young master of Jiangnan Thunderclap Sect.

You'd better be careful when you speak to me.

Jiangnan Thunderclap Sect?

You're scared?

Why should I be scared of you?

My mistress has Young Master Yu of the Flame Villa staying in her room.

Next door, there's the Young Master of Top Blade City.

Why would I be scared of you when they are around?

You'd better not look down on the Thunderclap Sect.

Within 10 years

Flame Villa and Top Blade City will have to bow to my father.

Sure.

I'll bow to you now.

- I'll bow to you, happy? - That's more like it.

What is this?

Give it back to me!

It's inappropriate for men and women to touch.

Your hand!

Give it back to me!

You just have to agree to a favor and I'll give it back to you.

My fist will hurt you.

Can you defeat me?

If you can't, you should let go!

Say it. What favor is it?

Help me stay here.

How am I to hide such a tall person in here?

If you can go into disguise as a maid

you surely have the ability to hide me in here.

You're doing it again! Let go!

All right, I agree to help you.

You mustn't lie to me.

I've never lied to anyone.

That's better.

When will you give it back to me?

You can have it back after I meet Yin Xue.

I'll take your word for it.

Keep it safe.

It means a lot to me.

All right, I heard you.

There you go again?

Miss Feng, what is this for?

Commoner, Feng Xi Xi beseeches Prince Jingyuan to uphold justice.

I'm pleading innocence for my father!

When did you find out about my true identity?

My father was once a confidant of Prince Jingyuan.

He had spoken of him to me.

His Majesty's favorite son, Prince Jingyuan is just like...

His condition is just like Young Master Yu's.

During the day, I overheard that Ge'er asked Your Highness

for the music score of "The Traveler's Dream"

which was said to have been lost for years.

However, I know that it's been kept deep in the palace.

Therefore, I figured out Your Highness's identity.

Prince Jingyuan, please uphold justice for me.

My father was forced to play a part in the fight for Crown Prince's position.

Then he was later framed by Prince Jingxian.

Fortunately, he was spared from death.

However, he was sent into exile far away.

This is a wronged case!

I had often heard from my father

that among the 10 some princes in the palace

His Majesty only trusts Prince Jingyuan the most.

You're also the most righteous and just.

Your Highness, please clear my father's name.

Your Highness, please help him!

Get the details checked out and look into this case.

Yes!

Miss Feng, please come with me so we can talk better in private.

Miss Feng, first, tell me what your father's name is.

What exactly happened back then?

- Xuan Huang. - Your Highness.

Find out about Yin Xue.

Yes.

This is our joyous occasion.

Tell them to lift their spirits.

- Yes! - Get ready. Go and inform them.

Madam Blossom, has Yin Xue returned?

Exactly, the champion beauty of the Blossoms House has returned.

This is the grandest joyous occasion in Luoyang City.

Come here quickly!

Yes, coming.

Go and inform them quickly.

Every inn in Luoyang City and every alley with our plaques on must be informed.

Yin Xue has returned ahead of schedule.

We have to move up the banquet.

- Yes! - Yes!

Right, it isn't just a banquet.

Yin Xue is also leaving the Blossoms House tonight.

A customer will be chosen as a lifetime spouse.

- Yes! - Yes!

Quickly! Inform them now.

Let's go.

Explain properly.

Why do you want to meet Yin Xue?

You want to get married so soon?

The world's top beauty.

Who won't want to meet her?

If it weren't that all the tickets into the Blossoms House were sold out

I won't be having such rough food and staying here days ahead of time.

Can you give me back the music score now?

Since you've been feeding me, I'll give it back to you.

I have no use for it anyway.

Mister Youqin.

When will that little rascal leave?

That little rascal...

Mister Youqin, I've brought you "The Traveler's Dream" as promised.

Here.

Thank you.

[Blossoms House]

Here, attend to the customers.

Yin Xue is really going to pick out a lifetime spouse tonight?

Madam Blossom, you mustn't lie to me.

Why would I lie?

Yin Xue said so yesterday.

- Here, please come in. - Great!

After you.

Second Madam, are we really not going in there?

Where's the Young Master?

Young Master is already inside.

Keep a close eye on them secretly. You need not show yourselves.

Yes.

Nice to meet you.

Here, after you.

After you.

Old Master Liu, after you.

I'll drink it up first.

You're too kind.

Here, please have a seat.

Sure.

Young Master Fu, you didn't even tell us you're coming?

Here, have a seat.

Here, have a seat.

- After you. - After you.

Bear this in mind.

We're not in the spotlight today.

Whatever happens today

don't act rashly or speak out of turn.

Wu Xia, fret not.

I know where to draw the line.

Wu Xia, don't you want to take Yin Xue with you this time?

We're just onlookers tonight.

Yin Xue has been traveling for years

but then suddenly want to choose a lifetime spouse.

It can't be that simple.

Didn't the Supreme Master say anything?

Since Supreme Master sent us over to look into this matter

it means that he doesn't know what Yin Xue is up to.

We'll wait and observe.

Nice to meet you.

It was steamed bun for breakfast and then lunch.

I still have to eat it for dinner?

You asked for it anyway.

There are still four more days to go?

This is too much of a suffering for me.

Since you've suffered so much

I'll let you know that Yin Xue's banquet has been moved up to tonight.

What?

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

It isn't too late to tell you now.

How is it? How do I look?

There are really many customers tonight.

You can't get a seat even if you go in there.

Besides, Yin Xue won't notice you.

You won't have to worry about that.

I have my own ways.

This time...

Not only will Yin Xue see me but also remember me.

I won't stay to chat.

This time, I owe you a favor.

Keep that in mind and I'll surely repay you in the future.

Who cares?

That's not right?

I have to be there as well.

- Come on then? - Come. Bring your sword.

You're unwell?

This should be my seat.

[Thunderclap Sect]

Excuse me, Young Master Lei.

Honorable guests.

It's a grand occasion here in the Blossoms House.

It's also a joyous occasion here in Luoyang City.

Our champion beauty, Yin Xue has returned!

Great!

Among the customers present today, Yin Xue will choose a lifetime spouse.

It could be me?

Perhaps it will be me?

This is well worth the effort.

Not only can we witness the charm of the world's most gorgeous beauty

but also listen to the grand master of zither.

It's no wonder that everyone racked their brains to get in.

It really is worthwhile.

I'm really curious to see what the top beauty, Miss Xue looks like.

Ge'er, why did you address Yin Xue as Miss Xue?

Isn't she a young lady?

Silly lass. He's a real man through and through.

A man?

He's a man?

Exactly. Those outside the Blossoms House prefer to address him

as Young Master Xue.

Or they just address him as Young Master.

Then why is he on the Gorgeous Beauties Ranking--

It's because he's well qualified for it.

So he...

So this is the world's most beautiful young master?

Indeed, the world's most beautiful young master!

I seem to have seen him before...

No...

I couldn't have possibly met him.

Young Master, as long as you're willing to come with me

I'm willing to offer 100 thousand taels of silver!

He's offered 100 thousand taels.

I'll offer 200 thousand taels!

I'll offer 500 thousand taels!

600 thousand taels!

It's 600 thousand taels now.

A million taels!

A million?

She's offering a million taels.

Who is she?

I'm willing to offer a million taels.

As long as you stay with me forever.

A million...

It's not enough.

Gold!

Gold?

That's still not enough.

How much would you like?

I can offer any amount you want.

How can you be such a shameless woman?

You're buying a man here in the public?

It's no wonder that he doesn't fancy you.

It's normal for men to buy women.

Why can't women buy men?

How brazen.

I can't be bothered to stoop to your level today.

In the future, someone will teach you a lesson.

I, Dao Lie Xiang, am standing right here today

to see who dares to teach me a lesson.

How arrogant.

Do you really think that Top Blade City is second to none?

How dare a rascal act so impetuously?

Lie Xiang!

Sit down.

Young Master, what do you think of me?

This must be fate.

Why don't you come with me?

Who are you?

Me?

I'm the Young Master of Jiangnan Thunderclap Sect, Lei Jing Hong.

As long as you come with me, you can have the entire Thunderclap Sect!

Jiangnan is too far away.

I'm not fond of it.

What are you fond of?

I'll get it for you!

You seem to be really nice.

It's a pity that...

Yes?

I've already fallen in love with someone.

I just wonder if she might dislike me?

Who would dare dislike you?

I'll blow that person into pieces!

I'm not only worried that she might dislike me

but that her folks might stop us from spending a lifetime together.

Who would dare to hinder you?

I, Lei Jing Hong, won't let them off!

Young lad.

Get off now.

- Get off the stage! - Get off the stage!

Get off the stage!

What a powerful inner force.

Young lad, it's dangerous in the Pugilist World.

Don't act too arrogantly.

Tonight, Young Master Xue will choose his spouse of a lifetime.

It's pointless for us to vie against each other.

It's all up to the Young Master.

Exactly, Young Master Lei!

You're not in the spotlight tonight!

Exactly!

You're not in the spotlight today!

Master Lei is a true hero.

Young Master Lei, don't embarrass your father.

- Exactly! Don't embarrass yourself! - Get off the stage!

Go and do what you should be doing.

Get off the stage!

Why would you embarrass yourself?

Just sit and watch.

He's too young and arrogant.

The person I'm choosing tonight is...

Who could it be?

Who is it?

Who is it?

We're so curious!

Who is it?

Her.

How could it be her?

Me?

You're the one.

Her?

Is my identity exposed?

That's impossible.

Ge'er.

If you don't face me, how am I to know what you've been saying?

Don't you find this bizarre?

I do.

Why haven't you come up with any plans for me yet?

Don't panic.

Xuan Huang and Huang Cong are already looking into it.

I'm lucky to have you.

If my father finds out about this

he will surely tease me about this matter.

Mentor won't tease you.

Everything in the Pugilist World happens for a reason.

If Mentor hears about it

he'd only investigate into this matter very carefully like I did.

This won't do. I have to get some questions answered.

Did you both see that?

The expression on her face...

She was so frightened.

Young Master, you're best at pulling pranks.

I've been waiting for so long.

How can I vent my anger if I don't tease her a bit?

Right, convey my orders.

Prepare all of my daily necessities.

We'll head out anytime these days.

- Yes. - Yes.

Madam Blossom, I'd like to see Yin Xue.

Young Master is asleep.

Tomorrow at noon, he'll be waiting for you in the garden.

Here, slowly.

Here.

Here.

There's so much luggage.

Exactly, that's a lot.

It's a box after another.

- All right. - Here.

For the past two years

the Second Madam of Jiangnan Thunderclap Sect has been

stalking and trying to assassinate Young Master Yin Xue but in vain.

How did Young Master Xue offend the Thunderclap Sect?

We'll need a few days to get to the bottom of this matter.

Top Blade City and Jiangnan Thunderclap Sect have sent their men

to Luoyang City at the same time so it's no coincidence.

Judging from the situation last night

both prestigious families are here for Young Master Xue.

Could Young Master Xue have offended all the pugilist sects?

He plans to rely on the Young Mistress to keep him safe?

What is Yin Xue's true identity?

His tracks can't be traced.

He serves under no sect or school.

His background is also unknown.

Years ago, he made a name here in the Blossoms House.

He won over the red-light district with one tune

and he was known as the grand master of zither.

You've met me before?

I haven't.

Do you find me beautiful?

You're still too young.

What did I do in the grand hall that was unusual enough to attract you?

It isn't that.

It was love at first sight for no reason at all?

It isn't so.

You know about my surname?

Your surname means nothing to me.

Tell me. What exactly is it that you really want?

What do you have to offer?

I have nothing on me.

What do I have to gain from you?

Honestly, I don't want to take you home with me.

Why?

I can't possibly stay that long in the Blossoms House.

I have to go home.

I know.

I've already had the horse carriage prepared.

It's loaded with all of my belongings.

I'll follow you wherever you go.

As a young woman, how can I take a man home with me?

My father will reprimand me.

It's just for that reason?

Anyway, I don't wish to take you with me.

I can help you.

What can you help me with?

What brought you here to the Blossoms House?

I came in order to--

What Feng Xi Xi can't teach you...

No one but I can mentor you on how to win back a man's heart.

I'm not trying to--

Don't spread such tales.

A young man was orphaned at a young age.

He was raised under your father's sect.

You were both nursed by the same wet nurse.

He has a blade of his own that's called Destiny.

That winter, it was extremely cold at the Flame Villa.

No water lilies and lotuses could survive the cold.

But he didn't believe it.

He kept his youngest junior in the dark

and secretly transported 200 some water lilies and lotuses from Jiangnan.

All day and night

he planted the water lilies and lotuses in a pond on the east of the villa.

Sadly, only 14 of them managed to survive.

He brought those 14 water lilies to you and confessed that he loved you.

How did you learn of this?

You got engaged three years ago.

Yet two years ago, he brought home a courtesan, Ying Yi.

Since then, he has been ignoring you.

That's why you're so upset.

Who exactly are you?

You came to the Blossoms House

to find out why he would betray you for a courtesan.

However, you have yet to find an answer, right?

Since I could remain as the champion of the world's best brothel for so long

I can surely help you.

You're tempted?

You're willing to take me with you?

I'm not that silly.

A man has cheated on you for two years but you still won't give up on him.

You still say you're not silly?

You approach me for an ulterior motive.

Is that so?

Do you know my name?

- Lie Ru Ge. - See?

I knew that you know of my full name!

There are 3000 skilled warriors in the Flame Villa.

Why would you be scared of me?

Don't you wish to find out how an outsider like me

discovered scandals that your father had tried so hard to cover up?

Don't you want to understand

what changed Zhan Feng's mind so completely?

If you don't turn me down, I'd take it that you've agreed?
