[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 10]

Don't panic. It will disappear soon.

When you want to use it, just rub your palms like this.

It will appear.

What is this?

It's Thunderclap Sect's symbol.

If someone tries to harm you

show this to my subordinates and they will help you.

Or they'll bring you to me.

Young Master Lei, you're lying to me.

What? How have I lied to you?

It's because of my brother that you treat me differently

and look after me.

Where is my brother?

He...

He is in...

Is there some reason he can't come see me?

He also trains under Thunderclap Sect.

But he holds a very important position now.

If you reunite now, how will you choose between Flame Villa and Thunderclap Sect

if they go up against each other someday?

Would you rather that Thunderclap Sect win against Flame Villa?

No.

See?

Dieyi, a sibling you've never met can't mean more to you

than the Young Mistress who grew up by your side.

Since you grew up in Flame Villa, just see it as your home.

That's what's best for you and your brother.

I made an oath to live and die with Flame Villa.

All right.

I won't ask anymore.

Good.

It will be our secret then.

Whenever you need me, come find me.

Young Mistress, are you really going there?

Isn't it better not to go?

Lie Ru Ge, do you think that Dao Lie Xiang is trustworthy?

She's been helping us all along.

There's something I must tell you...

although I can't be sure that it's true.

What is it? Tell me.

When I was in combat with Dao Lie Xiang

she told me that Yu Zi Han was dying.

Tell Lie Ru Ge that Yu Zi Han will die soon.

Why should I believe you?

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

- What did you say? - What did you say?

How did she get news from Luoyang?

I'm not sure either.

She just said that to me out of nowhere.

I didn't have a chance to ask about it.

It can't be.

The royal manor is heavily guarded.

His Highness was fine when I left.

Young Mistress, it's just a rumor.

You mustn't believe anyone from Top Blade City.

Senior Yu has been in poor health since he was a child.

Whatever it is...

I have to go to Luoyang to see for myself.

Security Officer Huang, we'll set out and ride overnight.

- Let's go. - You can't go there.

No, I must go to him.

I can only set my mind at ease if I see that Senior Yu is alive and well.

How do you know if Dao Lie Xiang is telling the truth?

What is she's lying and it turns out to be a trap?

I'll know if it's a trap or not once I get there!

You are not to go there!

Once you do...

You'll be involved in the unrest of the Pugilist World.

Never again will you live a day in peace.

You know something, don't you?

Tell me.

I don't know.

I just know that you mustn't go to Luoyang.

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

Young Master Xue, please let go of her.

Young Master Xue.

My Young Mistress has always been very close to Young Master Yu.

She has to go to him.

If she goes to Luoyang, she can set her mind at ease.

Will you let go of me or not?

If you won't let go of me, I'll strike you.

You'd strike me just because I refuse to let you go to Luoyang?

Exactly! No one can hold me back.

I helped you leave Flame Villa and treated your injury...

It was all for nothing.

I remember everything you did for me.

But this concerns Senior Yu's life.

I have to go to him.

Would you still go to him...

if it could cost you your life?

Ge'er, don't go to Luoyang.

I'll send you up to the mountain.

Give me three years.

I promise to bring peace to the world in three years.

Then, I won't stop you from going anywhere you wish.

I can't leave Senior Yu behind.

Young Mistress! The snow is falling more and more heavily!

What should we do?

We must ride faster, before the paths are covered in snow!

Young Master Xue, they have to go through the mountain to get to Luoyang.

It's snowing so heavily.

It will be dangerous if they get trapped on the mountain.

If there's an avalanche...

Aren't you at all worried?

Young Mistress, why don't you head inside and get some rest?

This is the first time I haven't been able to reach Senior Yu.

There's no time to lose.

Dieyi, we have to get going now.

The snow has blocked up the mountain.

We can't leave now.

Why don't we wait till tomorrow?

I really can't wait any longer.

Young Mistress.

I must leave the mountain tomorrow, even if I have to go on foot.

Zhan Feng has concluded the case?

Yes.

Xuan Huang... what is your opinion?

Illegal taxes have been collected for years

in many towns besides Ping An.

The matter seems to have come to an end, but if we dig deeper into it

it's easy to see that someone else

may benefit from this... and is planning something sinister.

Your Highness, would you like to get some rest?

I'm afraid that I don't have much time left.

The more I can find out, the better it will be for my mentor and father.

- Is it snowing? - Yes.

The villa was always covered in snow around this time of year.

Add more coal to the fire.

Yes.

Young Master, you came all this way, but you're not going inside?

Why do I have to go in?

It's so annoying to hear those women talk.

So...

It's snowing so heavily.

It will be difficult for them to leave the mountain.

Clear a path out of the mountain before day breaks.

Yes!

Having a younger sister...

Let's say, it's quite troublesome.

How have you been, Yin Xue?

19 years went by in a blink of the eye.

You even came out of seclusion.

I wonder who will die this time, you or me?

We're have the same roots, why must we fight each other?

When you first betrayed the Misty Deity Lineage

it was Dark River Palace that took you in.

Doesn't that make us disciples of the same sect?

I'd like to see if you've improved after training in seclusion.

Supreme Master?

Supreme Master, congratulations on coming out of seclusion!

Clean them up.

Congratulations on coming out of seclusion.

I just came out of seclusion to hear that

you've lost the illegal taxes from Ping An Town.

The Young Mistress of Flame Villa and Prince Jingyuan learned of it

so I had to take some action.

I sacrificed a small profit for fear that...

it may hinder Supreme Master's plan.

Supreme Master, rest assured that even without Ping An Town

there are other towns that continue to pay the illegal taxes.

A tiny town like Ping An isn't worthy of your concern.

That's good to know.

Here!

- Slow down. - Yes.

What happened?

These guards at the gate suddenly died.

How could they die so suddenly?

Did they contract a disease?

They look quite horrifying so it's best that you don't look at them.

Wu Xia's personal guards died so suddenly and mysteriously.

But I didn't even hear a sound.

First, it was Thunderbreak Manor.

Then, Yu Zi Han.

And now, even our disciples...

Wu Xia, Wu Hen...

What exactly are you plotting?

Goodness!

Who cleared a path for us?

That's a strange smell.

Don't bother trying to figure it out!

I'm the only one who can manipulate explosives to such an extent.

I pitied you ladies, being stuck here, so I cleared a path for you.

So you've been following us?

The mountain was covered in snow but you still insisted on going through.

If you fall off the cliff, even your bodies wouldn't be found!

I see.

Yes, I see.

Why are you looking at me?

What do you know?

Shouldn't you get going?

This is all I can do for you.

Ladies, until next time.

Friendships last like never-changing mountains and ever-flowing streams.

We'll surely meet again.

Nothing ever goes well when I run into you.

It's best not to see you too often.

Dieyi--

Ladies!

Take care!

- Take care. - Take care.

Your Highness, it's very cold.

Please take care.

I remember... you started looking after me when I was 10 years old.

Yes.

Cang Bi used to look after Your Highness.

Since Cang Bi passed away

I've been in charge of taking care of Your Highness's daily needs.

Cang Bi...

You're right.

Among the six of you, he was the first to leave us.

- Xuan Huang. - Present.

Do you know the first word I ever heard?

I don't know.

When I was eight years old

the first word I heard was... "sour."

My father sent me to Flame Villa when I was five years old.

Although my identity was kept a secret, everyone treated me with great respect.

My mentor taught me the highest skills in martial arts

and provided me with the best care.

- However... - Ge'er, come here!

I really envied Zhan Feng and Junior Ji when they got punished by my mentor.

Because of my hearing impairment...

no one knew how to communicate with me.

My world was so quiet that I could only hear myself breathe.

This chilled plum is really tasty.

Try one.

Isn't it sour?

Have one.

I'm not having any, silly.

These are all for you. Take it.

Thank you, Zhan Feng.

You're welcome. I'm off to play.

Father, how long do I have to keep hiding here?

Senior, this is for you.

Sour.

Sour.

Can you pronounce it now?

All right then.

Sour.

Sour.

Ge'er ate 16 plums that day.

Sour.

That's the first word I ever heard.

Since then, she often came to talk to me.

In the beginning, I could never figure out what she was saying.

She spoke very slowly too.

Then she spoke faster and faster.

I actually managed to keep up.

"My brother took the imperial exam at the county level."

"One brother pulled carriages, one polished them."

"Together, they sent their brother off to school."

"The little brother attended school for three years."

"He took the imperial exam once and became a scholar."

"He took the imperial exam once and became a scholar."

Is it interesting, Senior Yu?

I want to hear your voice.

Please?

Please?

Ge'er cried over it for a whole day.

I had to give in to her.

Your Highness.

I couldn't hear my own voice.

I could only feel my throat trembling strenuously.

I thought that my voice must sound awful.

Because the maid who walked by...

looked like she wanted to cover her ears.

But Ge'er smiled so happily.

She hugged me and said

"Senior Yu, your voice is more beautiful than the chirping of the birds."

It sounded so childish.

But as long as it made her happy, it didn't matter.

Once I learned to speak, her name was the first word I uttered.

Ru Ge.

Your Highness.

If you really miss Young Mistress

why don't you send her a letter and ask her to come to Luoyang?

No... She mustn't come here.

The situation in the Imperial Court is too complicated.

She can't come here.

Godfather.

There's news from the palace.

His Majesty isn't feeling well.

Princes Jingyang and Jingxian have taken some action.

Both princes paid visits to Prince Jingyuan's royal manor

to seek his support.

Zi Han must have refrained from stating where he stands.

Indeed.

It's a pity that Zi Han was disabled at a young age

and wasn't raised in the palace.

He shows no interest in vying for the throne.

His Majesty's efforts were in vain.

Godfather.

Prince Jingyang has sent a letter.

I know what he wants, even if I don't read it.

He must be trying to persuade me and Zi Han to side with him.

As for this matter...

I don't wish to influence Zi Han.

Godfather.

As for Thunderbreak Manor's case

have you verified the witnesses statements and evidence?

They have all been verified.

It's also true that Thunderbreak Manor was collecting illegal taxes.

How unfortunate.

Master Xie was a man of great conduct.

Yet in the end, he died at the hands of his own son-in-law.

His reputation was marred too.

Here.

Godfather, even if Zhan Feng passed the test this time

I still don't trust him.

I know that child well.

Don't worry about it.

Where is Ge'er right now?

Young Mistress has left Ping An Town

and heading for Royal Jingyuan Manor in Luoyang.

Young Master Xue is going as well, but they went separately.

Wherever Ge'er might be...

I can set my mind at ease as long as Young Master Xue is with her.

It's just a pity that...

Zhan Feng and Ge'er just aren't fated to be together.

Godfather, you can change and reverse the course of events.

You never took fate seriously, so why--

I'm old now.

Godfather, there's one more thing about Young Master Xue.

What is it?

Dark River Palace sent its disciples to meet him.

Dark River Palace already sent its disciples out in the Pugilist World?

Yes.

Miss Ru Ge.

I didn't expect to see you the moment I returned to Luoyang, Mister Youqin.

I've been waiting at the gates for hours.

You knew that I'd arrive today?

The customers at Blossoms House are all from the Pugilist World.

So naturally, I heard that you had left Ping An Town

to ride overnight to Luoyang.

Mister Youqin, why have you been waiting for me?

I'm waiting for my mentor.

Didn't he stay with you all this time, Young Mistress?

We've gone our separate ways.

Separate ways?

Mister Youqin, I can't stay to chat.

We'll chat when I have the time to visit Blossoms House.

Senior Yu?

Senior Yu, I came all the way here to see you.

Aren't you happy about it?

Ge'er?

It really is you!

Why is your hand so cold?

Ge'er...

Say a few more words.

What would you like me to say?

Anything will do.

Stand a bit further away from me and turn around.

You can speak while facing away from me.

If I turn around, you won't be able to read my--

I can hear you now.

Can you really hear me?

The day you left Flame Villa...

didn't you promise me that you'd take good care of yourself?

Why have you lost so much weight?

My health improves and deteriorates from time to time.

Hasn't it always been so?

You need not worry.

Ge'er, you must be tired after rushing all the way here.

- Huang Cong. - Present.

Take Young Mistress to her room so she can rest.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Take me back inside.

Miss Ru Ge knows that you've been unwell.

She came all the way to Luoyang to visit you.

Don't you want to tell her the truth?

She doesn't practice medicine so she can't be of any help.

She'll only worry if she learns of it.

- But-- - Enough said.

It's not often that she gets to visit

so I just want her to spend her time here happily.

Then I'll make up some excuse to send her back to Flame Villa.

Yes.

You were so happy to see Young Master Yu just now.

Why aren't you even smiling or saying one word now?

Don't you think that Senior seems to be keeping something from me?

I secretly tried to read his pulse just now

but he pulled away.

Young Master Yu is always like that in the winter.

It hurts to see him so.

But didn't Dao Lie Xiang say that he--

But it doesn't seem to be so.

Maybe she was just trying to make you leave sooner

so she staged all of it?

We shouldn't jump to such a conclusion so hastily.

I'll try tomorrow.

Why?

Can't you just ask Young Master Yu?

Senior Yu has never been honest with me when it comes to his health.

It's pointless to ask him.

I can only try and see for myself.

But...

How should I do it?

Is it good?

My flat bread is so popular in Ping An.

Everyone says that my flat bread is tasty.

Young Master Yu, Young Mistress got up early this morning to bake these.

His Highness seems to have a good appetite today.

Of course.

Back in Flame Villa, if Young Mistress found something tasty

Young Master Yu would always have some with her.

Your throat will get parched after having so much flat bread.

Here, have some water.

You should have some as well.

I probably won't have any.

When I was in Ping An

there were days when they didn't sell too well.

I'd finish all the remaining bread then.

I don't want to relive those days again.

You can have them to yourself.

I'll just have some salted nuts.

I've had them since I was a child, but the flavor is still the same.

Have another piece.

You're full?

You're full after having just a piece?

I guess they aren't tasty.

I know that Senior Yu is fine.

He's always frail in the winter.

As long as he has an appetite, it shouldn't be a problem.

You're right.

You are so resourceful, Young Mistress.

Young Mistress, are we spending Lunar New Year at the royal manor?

Should we write a letter to Master?

Since we're already here, let's keep Senior Yu company.

I'll celebrate the next one with Father.

Should we head over to Blossoms House to see if Yin Xue has returned?

Young Mistress, are you worried about Young Master Xue?

He's so skilled in martial arts.

Not many can defeat him.

Why would I worry about him?

Why do you want to go there then?

I'm just going to take a look--

Young Mistress!

Young Mistress, His Highness has been throwing up blood!

What?

He has indigestion.

But I can't figure out why he threw up blood.

Thank you, Imperial Physician Shang.

Chi Zhang, see him out.

Senior Yu, what happened?

It's all because of you.

You made His Highness eat so much flat bread.

Xuan Huang, don't talk to Young Mistress like that.

You're reproaching me?

She might not know, but shouldn't you at least ask first?

While you were away, His Highness could barely eat.

How can he eat that much flat bread?

I--

This is my fault.

I should have been more thoughtful.

I just wanted Senior Yu to eat a bit more.

Tell me.

How will you punish me?

How would I dare to punish you, Young Mistress?

- Xuan Huang. - Your Highness.

Leave the room.

Yes.

Hold on.

Young Mistress!

- Young Mistress! - Ge'er!

My blood for Senior Yu's blood.

Will this do?

Young Mistress, your hand--

I'm fine.

Dieyi, tidy up and head out.

Xuan Huang.

Get out.

- Yes. - Yes.

Senior Yu, why are you throwing up blood again?

It's uncomfortable to keep the blood in my throat anyway.

I feel much better after throwing it up.

I know... that you held it in so they wouldn't keep scolding me.

Let me see your hand.

It's just a cut.

It's all right.

You didn't have to do that.

Xuan Huang grew up by your side.

He is your confidant.

I don't want you to hurt their feelings because of me.

Are you mad at me?

I'm sorry.

This is all my fault.

If I hadn't made you eat more, you wouldn't feel so unwell.

It isn't because of that.

I apologized, so you should too.

If you hadn't kept it from me just to make me happy

I wouldn't have gotten myself into trouble, right?

All right, I forgive you.

You're my senior, after all.

But from now on, you have to be honest with me about everything.

All right?

All right.

Since you agreed...

You have to keep your word.

Go take a nap.

You must be very tired.

I don't want to sleep.

Why don't you want to sleep?

Haven't you been quite fond of sleeping these days?

When I sleep, it feels like I'm dead.

You're finally willing to be honest with me.

I almost ran out of patience.

Do you really think that you just fell ill?

Could you have been poisoned?
