[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 7]

Come. It's dry today.

Have more water.

Sure.

It's really tough in the Pugilist World these days.

The government is really coming down hard on us.

You're right!

Oh... That young lady looks lovely!

Here.

Let's keep drinking.

I'll fill your bowl.

- Here. - Sure.

What the...

It's frozen.

What's going on?

What's going on?

- Run! - Go!

Your noodles!

If they aren't having any, we will.

Sure!

Thank you.

Are you heading to Ping An Town?

No, we're just passing through.

Then it's best to take a detour.

Prices there are twice that of other places.

Whether its meals or accommodation

it's best to go around it.

Why?

Ping An Town used to be within no one's jurisdiction.

There wasn't any conflict between pugilists.

It was considered to be a renowned and blessed land.

But since a few years ago

some pugilists started charging the people an illegal tax.

It's collected once a month.

It's much higher than government taxes.

Since more tax is being collected, the prices have naturally gone up.

Pugilists?

Are they random idlers or do they belong to a sect?

I'm not sure about that.

All I know is that on the first day of every month

every household has to leave money outside their door as regulated.

Someone will pick it up.

If no money is left at the doorstep

that household won't have a day of peace again.

Accidents will keep occurring within the household.

I really can't afford that much money so I moved out of there.

Please enjoy.

I know where we're going next.

Ping An Town.

You don't wish to inherit Flame Villa

but you'll meddle in the affairs of the Pugilist World.

It's a rule in the Pugilist World.

Whatever sect you belong to...

you're not to collect illegal taxes from the common folk.

I have to see if it's really true.

If it is true, I must report it to my father.

So he can investigate it.

What can you find out with just a passing glance?

We'll discuss that after we find a place to stay in Ping An Town.

What can you do there?

We'll have to see.

Come and have a look!

It's great aged homemade wine!

Hurry up.

Leave now.

Get going.

Sir... Could I try again?

Young lady, go and find a job elsewhere.

Sir!

I can take on any chore.

We're barely making any money.

How can we afford to hire anyone?

Young lady, it's best for you to leave Ping An Town.

Make a living elsewhere.

Sir...

Are you hungry?

Wait here.

What is this?

Here.

You went to buy flat bread?

It's a present.

A present?

You'd betray your charms for some flat bread...

If you wish to run your own stall here, you have to befriend the neighbors.

All I did was make some small talk.

How is that betraying my charms?

I've asked around.

The flat bread here costs twice as much as the bread in Luoyang.

The owner of the noodle stall was telling the truth.

Even Blossoms House's owner finds this expensive.

It must be priced outrageously.

What should we do?

We can't stay here if we don't find work.

Everything's settled.

Sir, you're so generous.

From now on, this stall is yours.

Everything here also belongs to you.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

I should be the one to thank you!

When did you buy it?

About an hour ago.

What?

From now on, you'll make flat bread in there

and I'll sell them out here.

I can guarantee that our business will do great.

Wasn't there a tofu beauty?

You can call me...

Mister Flat Bread.

How is this right?

I wanted to leave home, but I ended up spending your money.

Do you have money to buy a stall then?

Then it's right.

I paid for the stall, so I'm the owner.

You're my flat bread baker.

It's just like Blossoms House.

I'm the owner and you're Madam Blossom.

All right, Boss.

What should we do next?

It seems that we have everything we need here.

We're just missing one thing.

What is it?

A sign.

We'll get a sign made and open for business tomorrow.

[Azure Dragon Hall]

Get it organized.

Yes, sir.

Over here.

Here, burn the material.

Yes.

Have you noted it down?

Yes.

Give it to me.

Here you go.

Here, this is a new one.

Look.

Here, label this clearly.

Hall Master.

Ping An Town?

Master.

Azure Dragon Hall reported back.

Young Mistress has arrived in Ping An Town.

Go there yourself to meet Xie Hou You of Thunderbreak Manor.

Have them keep an eye out for her in secret.

Yes.

Young Master Xue once saved my life.

He also saved Flame Villa.

He's a trustworthy man.

I understand.

I'll have my subordinates pass on the message to ease His Highness's mind.

Good.

I come here on His Highness's orders

to protect Young Mistress.

Since Young Mistress is in Ping An

I can't stay much longer.

Master Lie, I take my leave.

Thank you.

[Xue's Flat Bread Stall]

"Xue's Flat Bread Stall."

The champion of Blossoms House opens a flat bread stall in a small town.

If those beauties were to find out about it

do you think they'd find themselves really childish

for competing to be champion month after month?

In the end, all vanity turns to dust.

They're the ones who can't get over it.

We're the ones who can.

We're running our own flat bread stall in a small town

and enjoying each other's company every day.

We only envy the lovers, but not the deities.

Can't you ever be serious?

Answer me.

Can you make flat bread?

It shouldn't be... too hard?

You mean you can't?

I can't.

I've made arrangements.

Again?

Here they are.

- Young Master. - Young Master.

I'll leave my cousin in your hands.

Young Master, don't you worry.

- We'll look after her well. - Good.

- Don't worry, Young Master. - Thank you.

It's not too hard.

Please tell Master Lie not to worry.

I'll surely look after Young Mistress.

I thank you in advance, Master Xie.

Head Housekeeper Yi, you need not be so polite.

My godfather means to have her protected discreetly.

Master Xie, you need not be too nervous about it.

I understand.

I'll take my leave now.

Take care.

Grandfather!

Xiao Feng!

Father-in-law.

Was that Head Housekeeper Yi?

Indeed.

He's a rare and outstanding young man.

He's here for...

He said that Young Mistress is out traveling in the Pugilist World

but it might not be so.

Whatever reason brings her here

as locals, we must be dutiful hosts.

Xiao Feng, can I assign you a task?

Sure! I will do it, even at the risk of my life!

You're still a young boy.

It's unlucky to say that you'll risk your life.

Grandfather, what is it?

Is it fun?

You will like it.

I'm sending you to protect an older sister in secret.

What? Is she in some sort of danger?

No, it isn't so.

This older sister is here in Ping An Town for travel.

All you have to do is get to know her and become friends.

Then you just have to tell us what she does every day.

That is your task.

Sure!

Yes, Grandfather!

Add in some more flour.

Here, there's actually a lot of work in kneading this dough.

Neither too dry, nor too moist will do.

You must also use the right amount of strength in your wrists.

When making flat bread, you must learn how to make an oiled dough first.

An oiled dough is...

Young girl, how can you make flat bread for your cousin

if you don't even know what oiled dough is?

Learn it well.

I'll deduct from your wages if you don't learn it well.

Young Master, what brings you two to Ping An Town?

I've heard that it's a blessed land.

It's under no one's jurisdiction so it's a good place to settle down.

That was in the past.

Life is a lot more difficult now.

Difficult?

Why is it difficult?

Ru Ge, look.

This dough is almost done.

If you keep kneading it for a while, it will get even better.

Why don't you try it?

Sure.

Senior Feng!

Why did you drink so much again?

Look at you! How will anyone have faith in your capability?

Speak.

Why have you come to me?

Ru Ge has gone to Ping An Town.

Why did she go there?

I don't know.

Master didn't say anything?

Mentor has sent Yi Lang to pay Xie Hou You a visit.

He asked Thunderbreak Manor to look out for her.

What good is the Thunderbreak Manor?

Top Blade City has always been very ambitious.

This time, Ru Ge will be right under their nose.

Aren't you at all worried?

Convey my orders to Azure Dragon Hall.

Report news of Ping An Town to me three times a day.

Yes!

Hall Master.

Speak.

Young Master Feng sent a message to have us keep an eye

on Ping An Town, Thunderbreak Manor and Top Blade City.

Report to him three times a day.

Does Master know about this?

Master doesn't know.

It's strange.

Young Master Feng has never been concerned about such matters.

Why does he suddenly care?

Young Mistress is in Ping An Town.

Young Master Feng is doing so for her safety.

- See to it quickly. - Yes.

Sister, do you still have the pattern for the embroidery you did last time?

I'd like to borrow it from you.

Sure, come with me.

- I'll give it to you. - Sure.

I... I really seem to be able to hear everything now.

Your Highness!

You can hear properly now?

Congratulations, Your Highness!

Lower your voice.

Since Your Highness has regained your hearing

it's about time that I take my leave.

Thank you very much.

You need not thank me.

We made a deal.

I'll take my leave.

- Xuan Huang. - Present.

Take me around the royal manor.

Yes!

Your Highness, you...

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Stop right there!

Don't let her get away!

Arrest her!

Why are you arresting me?

His Highness suddenly threw up blood, you can't leave yet!

You should know that be it in the Imperial Court or the Pugilist World

Thunderclap Sect will be wiped out if you dare to even lay a finger on him!

Give a dog a bad name and hang it.

I have nothing to say to that.

Await your death then!

Chi Zhang, how is he?

Nothing is wrong with him.

Check again.

There's no need.

Your Highness.

How can we not look into the cause after you suddenly coughed up blood?

Was he poisoned?

Internal injury?

Aren't you the Medical Deity?

How can you not find the cause?

I'll go ask that woman!

Xuan Huang.

Here.

Here.

This is all very suspicious.

I--

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

[Xue's Flat Bread Stall]

Come over!

Come on over!

Xue's Flat Bread Stall is open for business!

Walk by but don't miss us!

Exactly!

They smell great and make your mouths water!

- So sweet that it's unforgettable! - Exactly!

We're open for business today.

There's a promotional sale for our opening!

For the first three days

you get three flat breads for the price of two!

Don't miss out on it!

Great!

- Three for two? - Great!

This is great!

Here.

It's for good luck on the first day of business.

Should I light it?

But you're the owner.

The employee has to do it on my behalf.

All right then.

Big Big Sister!

Can I light the firecrackers?

Sure, hold it then.

- Be careful with your hands. - Sure!

This little boy will light it for me.

Great!

- Great! - Thank you.

As the owner, I've just made a decision.

To celebrate the opening of our stall

all our flat bread is free today!

Wonderful!

What are you waiting for? Quickly!

Come on over!

Take them quickly!

Take as many as you like!

- May your business thrive! - Little one.

Thank you for lighting the firecrackers for me.

Why don't you try this flat bread?

Hold it well.

Try and see if it's good.

It's good, isn't it?

I knew it would be tasty!

Sister, I've never had such delicious flat bread!

I'd like to have another one.

- Can I have another? - Sure.

I'll wrap a few more up for you later.

Thank you.

What is your name?

Just call me Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng?

I'm Xie Xiao Feng from Thunderbreak Manor.

You're from Thunderbreak Manor?

Is it good? Thank you!

Young Master Xue, you even run a stall?

- Try it. - How can I not have flat breads?

Here, take some.

Come and take as many as you'd like!

Ru Ge, I told you we'd meet again, didn't I?

I thought you had returned to Jiangnan?

I don't want to go home yet.

I want to make a living in the Pugilist World, just like you.

It might sound strange

but why is everything in Ping An so expensive?

Lie Ru Ge!

What is it?

It's delicious!

You bake so well!

It tastes great.

Eat. Eat up!

- Another round. - Sure!

I must make you eat till you burst!

- Eagle claws. - Authorities.

- Shoulder mate. - Friends.

- Target. - Enemy.

There's no way you'd know this one.

On a plate!

Brother Jing Hong, eat up.

I know that one.

It means one's heart.

- You-- - Eat up and we'll continue!

What are you two doing?

We saw that you had some flat bread left over

so we're trying to finish them for you.

You managed to finish that many flat breads?

I did.

We're competing with pugilist jargon.

If he gets it right, I eat.

If he gets it wrong, he eats.

Who knew...

He'd get them all right.

Serves you right.

It's your turn to eat!

I'm not having any.

Eat it quickly! I had so many already!

- You have to eat too! - You're an adult, I'm a kid.

That won't do! Eat or I'll hit you!

- Eat! - Hit me then?

- Go on and hit me! - Don't eat so much.

- Eat! - I won't!

Xiao Feng is so adorable.

And?

If it really is Thunderbreak Manor that's collecting illegal taxes

I'm afraid that Xiao Feng will be implicated too.

Why do you suspect Thunderbreak Manor?

I don't just suspect Thunderbreak Manor.

I also suspect Top Blade City.

Why?

Thunderbreak Manor is on the east of Ping An Town.

On the west, it's the Top Blade City.

With them watching, no one else would dare to collect illegal taxes in Ping An.

But since someone has already started to do so

it means that one of them is the culprit.

And the other pretends not to notice and disregards it.

Otherwise, both of them ganged up to collect the taxes.

There's no rush.

Take your time to investigate.

The people of Ping An are so earnest.

I'm anxious for them.

We've just settled in.

Instead of pondering over doubts that can't be proven

we might as well consider what we have at hand.

What do we have at hand?

Our neighbors helped us all night long yesterday.

Why don't you think about how we should thank them?

You're right.

How should we thank them?

What should we do?

Should we bake a few more flat breads and bring them--

Why are you always looking at me?

You're beautiful.

Can you ever be serious?

We'll wait till the sun sets.

- What about this one? - Hang it there.

Where should I hang this one?

Over there.

- Done! - I'm done too.

So are mine.

Good!

Next, say this along with me.

"It's on fire."

What?

It's on fire?

It's all right.

Since Young Master told us to say it, it should be fine.

Exactly.

Here.

Here.

- It's on fire! - It's on fire!

It's on fire!

- It's on fire! - It's on fire!

It's on fire!

Where is it?

We didn't see the fire?

What's going on?

Look!

What is going on?

- What is this? - It's so pretty!

It's so pretty!

There are so many lanterns.

It's so pretty!

- What's happening? - I don't know.

Everyone!

Young Master Xue has something to say!

Dear neighbors, it's because of your assistance

that Xue's Flat Bread Stall could open so successfully.

The palace lanterns are a token of my gratitude.

We're sorry to have woken everyone up so late at night.

It's all right!

This is so pretty!

We don't mind!

We've never seen such beautiful lanterns in our lives! Right?

Exactly!

The ones in the palace may not be as pretty as these, huh?

You're right!

Look at these lanterns! They are so pretty!

There are more on that roof!

Take a look over there!

They are so pretty!

What does it say? It's pretty!

Come here. This is just great!

This is great!

I like this one too.

This is so pretty.

You're indeed the owner of Blossoms House.

Aren't you at all touched by it?

Of course, I was moved.

I think that they must have been even more touched than I was.

They rarely get to see such a sight in their lives.

I'll do it.

Was that also a skill of the Misty Deity Lineage?

I'm so envious of you.

What's there to envy?

Is it because of the lanterns?

Although I was born into Flame Villa and trained to master the Flame Fist

I just managed to scratch the surface.

It's as if my spiritual force is trapped by something.

I never make any progress.

You foundation is indeed poor.

I've never seen anyone offer consolation like you do.

The foundation matters the most for pugilists so I'm just being honest.

Can you really tell if someone's foundation is good?

Would you like to give it a try?

All right.

Let's just say that I'm not meant to train in martial arts.

Oh no.

I haven't prepared tomorrow's flat breads.

I'll get some water.

I haven't even finished making the dough but it's almost dawn.

We're only running a small business to kill time.

Why do you have to be so serious about it?

Only if you manage this business wholeheartedly

can you truly get to know the people in this town.

Ge'er!

Come here.

Sure.

What is it?

Light this up for me.

Even if I wield the Flame Fist poorly, you can't have me light candles for you.

Light it up for me so I can carve the stamp and keep you company.

What are you carving?

You'll know tomorrow.

Aren't you worried about going blind if you carve in the dark?

If you're worried about my eyes, just light the candles for me.

You still care about me the most.

I'm scared that the courtesans of Blossoms House will attack me

if you spoil your eyes.

Third Young Mistress.

Stop right there.

You're going to Ping An Town?

Wu Xia.

You're going to see Yin Xue?

I--

Or are you going to catch up with Lie Ru Ge and Lei Jing Hong?

Do you still remember that you're the Third Young Mistress of Top Blade City?

Speak up.

If Top Blade City wishes to rank first in the Pugilist Alliance

who is in our way?

Flame Villa and Jiangnan Thunderclap Sect.

It's good that you remember.

From this day forth

you're not to leave Top Blade City without my permission.

Yes.

Since Young Mistress arrived in Ping An Town

she's been staying in Xue's Flat Bread Stall with Young Master Xue.

Two nights ago, Young Master Xue even bought hundreds of palace lanterns

to put up on the streets just to make Young Mistress smile.

All the neighbors secretly believe that they are an eloped couple.

You carved this yesterday?

Do you like it?

I do.

It's quite pretty.

But what has this got to do with our flat breads?

This is food coloring.

Stamp this on our flat breads and sell just 500 a day.

Just 500? That's so little!

How will we break even then?

Whatever is rare is more valuable.

Can you apply that to flat breads?

Certainly. Don't you wish to help your neighbors?

We'll use our stall to boost the town's customer flow.

Their businesses will slowly improve too.

After all, customers matter most to business.

You really have a knack for business.

What are you looking at?

It's nothing.

This... seems to look like Ru Ge?

Beauty in red. Isn't that Sister Ru Ge?

Let go of my hand quickly. I have to wipe it off.

Why? You don't like it?

Let go of my hand!

Young Master Xue.

Xiao Feng and I have also been busy helping you.

Why don't you carve us some stamps?

Exactly, Brother Yin Xue!

I've been busy helping you every day.

Why don't you carve us one each?

Exactly.

We'll close our stall today.

Let's take a trip to Top Blade City.

Top Blade City?

What is it? You don't want to go?

Wouldn't we get into trouble if we just visit Top Blade City without a cause?

You mentioned that Dongbin Restaurant is there.

Now that we live here, it's fine for us to visit.

Young Master Xue, since you're not a pugilist, you might not be aware that

although all the major families seem to get along well

we are still quite wary of one another.

Besides, Ru Ge and I have such special identities--

Although Thunderbreak Manor is so close to Top Blade City

I've never been there alone.

We're just going there for a meal.

Let's go.

Will you be all right?

I heard that your father is on the worst terms with Top Blade City.

Isn't it just a meal?

I'm not there to pick a fight anyway.

Xiao Feng!

I'll show you around Top Blade City!

- Let's go. - Yes!

Come on!

[Dongbin Restaurant]

Enjoy.

You can't go upstairs.

The room on the second floor has been reserved.

Who is it?

It's Miss Dao of Top Blade City.

Dao Lie Xiang?

Ru Ge, let's go upstairs to see her.

You really can't go upstairs.

If you do, I'll lose my head.

Is Miss Dao that scary?

She is indeed frightening.

She once had a man who glanced at her

slowly sliced into 181 pieces until he ended up as a skeleton.

You'll have to lower your voice.

If Miss Dao overhears you

she might slice you into 180 pieces too.

Yes.

Would you like to go upstairs?

Forget it.

Let's not make it hard for the server.

We'll just sit downstairs.

Thank you. My utmost gratitude to the three of you.

It's the four of us.

Yes, the four of you.

Serve us all the delicious food and drinks you have.

Yes, I'll get it done right away.

Go and invite that sister upstairs.

Go!

Are you Dao Lie Xiang?

Who are you?

I'm Xie Xiao Feng.

Thunderbreak Manor?

This is Top Blade City.

It's not the place for you.

You should leave quickly.

What if I refuse to leave?

Haven't your father and grandfather told you

that you can't just visit Top Blade City so casually?

Since we're in the Pugilist World, we should abide by its rules.

What if I refuse to abide by them?

If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for not warning you.

Give me back my pouch!

Xie Xiao Feng!

Get over here!

Get over here!

Brother Jing Hong, save me!

Get over here!

Young Master... Xue?

What brings you to Top Blade City so suddenly?

Hurry up. We saved you a seat.

How did you know that I'd come downstairs?

I told Xiao Feng to take something from you.

Judging by your temper, you would surely come after him.

Despicable.

Xiao Feng, what is it that you took?

This.

Give it back!

It's quite girly.

What is in it?

What is that?

Zither string?

It must be Young Master Xue's!

It has nothing to do with me.

I got this from the courtesans of Blossoms House.

It has nothing to do with Young Master Xue.

Let's eat.

Sure! I'm hungry.

Miss Dao, please take a seat.

Server, bring us another set of cutlery.

Sure!

She gets a different bowl and chopsticks.

Miss Dao, Young Master Xue and I are running

a flat bread stall in Ping An Town.

Would you like to take a look?

What's there to see?

You were still nice when we were at Flame Villa.

Why have you changed so quickly?

Do I even know you that well?

You... This woman is so... I...

Scram back to Jiangnan.

This isn't where you should be.

Do you think that I'll go easy on you just because you're a woman?

I'll give you three days.

Get out of Ping An Town.

If not, don't blame me for showing you no mercy.

Dao Lie Xiang!

Have you gone crazy? You--

Has she misunderstood us?

I'll go and talk to her.

Don't go.

Server, get me the check!

Coming!

Thrash their flat bread stall and drive them out of Ping An.

- Yes! - Yes!

What happened?

Who did this?

What happened?

Look! Who did this?

What is going on?

How did this happen?

Young Master Xue, you've finally returned.

Take a look.

I'd advise you to move away as soon as possible.

Exactly.

Top Blade City is as good as the local emperor here.

We can't afford to offend them.

What kind of tantrum is Dao Lie Xiang throwing?

I'll reason with her!

Don't bother going.

Yes.

You don't have to go to her.

There must be some problem.

Although she has quite the temper for a young mistress

she would never have acted so unreasonably.

Did you hold me back at Dongbin Restaurant

because you knew that something was going to happen?

You're so smart.

She's giving us a warning.

She means to tell us to leave soon.

What?

Someone is collecting illegal taxes here?

No wonder...

You would dare to open up a stall right under Top Blade City's nose.

No wonder Dao Lie Xiang behaved so unlike herself.

She must have known something.

Young Master Xue, what should we do now?

Go to bed.

What?

Go to bed?

Will you leave now if I tell you to?

No. I have to get to the bottom of this matter.

The more bizarre it is, the more I have to investigate.

Since you're neither worried nor frightened

we'll just do what we must do.

We're here to sell flat breads so we'll keep selling them.

So... we should go to bed now.

No...
