[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 6]

[Blossoms House]

I will take my leave now.

Security Officer Huang, when will His Highness return from the Flame Villa?

In a day or two.

Really?

Miss Feng, do you not believe in my capability so much

that you can only feel at ease when His Highness returns?

It isn't like that.

I just wish to thank His Highness in person.

It's about an unsolved case from long ago

that involved the high and mighty Princes Jingyang and Jingxian.

Yet, His Highness had instructed Security Officer Huang

to investigate the case only with my statement.

I...

Miss Feng, you need not explain to me.

When His Highness returns, you should get a chance to see him.

I take my leave.

Security Officer Huang.

I've made these pastries.

I saw that you weren't here for Double Ninth Festival yesterday

so I've left some for you.

Thank you very much.

May I ask what brings you here?

We're here to pick up Young Master Yu.

This way, please.

Your Highness.

What can I do for you?

I ask only that you act with discretion and play it safe.

All of you are like my own children.

If there's anything you need, feel free to write to me.

I am disabled in both legs so I cannot prostrate.

I now bow in gratitude to you, Mentor, for years of your fostering and guidance.

Between mentor and disciple, such manners aren't necessary.

Mentor, is there anything else you'd like to discuss?

Do you think that Ge'er is suitable as the Master of the villa?

Right now, I cannot say that Ru Ge is suitable as the villa's Master.

What if I pass on my position as the Master of Flame Villa to Ge'er one day?

If so, I will do all that I can... to assist her.

Wait right here.

- Yes. - Yes.

Senior Yu.

You're leaving?

My father is critically ill and has summoned me to the palace.

After you leave, so many things are going to change, won't they?

No matter what may happen...

you just have to remember that one thing will never change.

I'll always be your Senior Yu.

If anything troubles you, you must talk about it.

Don't keep it all bottled up.

If there are words that you really can't say out loud

you can always write to me.

Don't forget to write about it.

You have so many older brothers.

Don't take everything on alone.

Don't always just smile in reply.

Promise me.

All right.

Senior Yu, look.

I begged Father to buy this for me.

When you see this jade wind chime, you can see the sound the wind makes.

You're even taking the wind chime with you.

It seems that you won't come back here again.

Will you miss me?

I will.

If you won't return to Flame Villa, I'll visit you in Luoyang.

Sure.

Ge'er...

You and Senior Feng...

Don't worry.

Since I've already made it clear to Zhan Feng before so many people

I will surely stay true to my word.

I know.

Then why does it seem like you just kept yourself from saying something?

Yin Xue might be a mysterious man, but since he's an old friend of Mentor

you can trust him... if Mentor does.

Double Ninth Festival just ended.

Senior Yu already has to leave.

Why do I think it's a bad omen?

Your Highness.

Everything is set.

Senior Yu, be careful on the way.

Ge'er, you have to remember what I told you.

Let's set out.

Yes.

It might seem that all is peaceful here at Flame Villa

but truly, a dark tide is about to rise.

Ge'er... Take caution in everything.

Miss Feng!

A prestigious customer is here to see you.

Why would there be customers so early in the day?

He seems to be an imperial courtier.

He looks all lordly.

Quickly. Prepare some of the best tea and pastries for me.

Yes!

Miss Feng!

Are you going to make an exception in entertaining an official?

You are...

Miss Feng... do you still remember me?

Prince... Prince Jingxian.

All right.

We'll handle this matter as you suggested.

Right, inform Zhongli Wulei to come to me.

Yes.

Father, why have you... asked to see me?

Feng, get going.

Ge'er, come with me.

Uncle Zhan, although Zhan Feng and I are no longer engaged

you'll always be my Uncle Zhan.

Ge'er.

I had hoped to see you married before your birthday this year.

The Flame Seal of Flame Villa is my birthday gift to you.

Father, this is...

Take it.

I can't accept it.

Are you going to make me angry now, too?

Father... I've never participated in any of the villa's official affairs.

Be it Zhan Feng, Senior Ji, or even Head Housekeeper Yi

they are all more suitable to inherit it than I do.

You mustn't do this on an impulse.

You...

Young Mistress, you should be happy about it!

I don't want to be Master of the villa.

Why not? You're Master Lie's daughter!

Father shouldn't act so recklessly because Zhan Feng and I broke up.

Flame Villa isn't just some ordinary place.

It's the grandest villa in the entire world.

Thousands of disciples train under us.

I can't allow my father to make such a decision so impulsively.

Your Highness, please offer this Ice Jade Cup to His Majesty.

How dare you!

You dare to suggest that I should poison my own father?

No, when Your Highness presents this cup, you must suit the remedy to the illness.

You must make His Majesty think that

the cup is best for Prince Jingyuan's old injuries.

Judging by His Majesty's fondness for Prince Jingyuan

he will surely bestow this cup to him instead.

As for what happens next, Your Highness needs not worry.

But after the deed is done...

This item then serves as evidence.

Here's what makes the Ice Jade Cup amazing.

Once Yu Zi Han is cursed with the spell, this cup turns into a normal one.

It leaves no trace of evidence.

There might not be any material evidence...

But you are still a witness.

Your Highness, rest assured.

The witness will surely keep his lips sealed.

Your Highness, Prince Jingxian tried to take Miss Feng from Blossoms House.

It's later said that Miss Feng tried to assassinate him

so she was killed on the spot.

He made it sound so justified.

I think he learned that His Majesty decreed

for Your Highness to become regent.

Therefore, he deliberately sent this as a warning message to you.

This case...

Keep investigating.

Look, my skills in slicing food are good enough to work in a restaurant.

Young Mistress, you pleaded so much with the villa's cooks

to teach you culinary skills.

Now you're showing your skills to us.

What are you planning to do?

Die Yi, don't you understand the Young Mistress's intentions?

With her culinary skills

she can make a living on her own if she leaves the villa on a trip.

All right, I've trained hard enough.

Xun Yi, you're so good at joking around.

I hope a joke is all it is.

Young Mistress, do you plan on leaving the villa again?

Young Mistress, listen to me.

If you dare leave again without telling us

you might as well never come back.

Young Mistress, we're just worried about you.

Don't you worry.

Even if I leave, I'll make sure to let you both know.

Are you really going to leave, Young Mistress?

Die Yi.

As long as you've thought it through and as long as you'll be happy

we will support your decision.

What nonsense is that?

I'm going to have tea with my father.

I have to get going now.

My daughter's skills in brewing tea have improved greatly.

Since Yu left, the Bamboo Quarters are now without a master.

It's now a spot for tea and leisure for an old man like me.

Since I was a child, I've remembered...

Father and Senior Yu have always liked to play chess while having tea here.

It will be hard for us to do so from now on.

If Father wishes to see Senior Yu, we'll visit him in Luoyang.

Once he returns to Luoyang, he'll be the Seventh Prince, Prince Jingyuan.

If I visit him, I'll also have to kneel to greet him.

Senior Yu will never let you kneel to him.

Father...

Aren't you going to reprimand me?

I'm very proud of you.

What is there to reprimand?

I refused to accept the Flame Seal.

I can see why you did that.

I hope that one day...

you can also see why I wanted to give it to you.

Ge'er.

Are you thinking about leaving the Flame Villa?

Father...

I saw right through you.

Father, please consent to it.

What father would want his daughter to leave his side?

I can't?

No, you can't.

Tell me why you wish to leave the villa.

No one can stay protected for their entire life.

If I want to stay alive, I must learn how to survive.

What else?

I'm not happy in the villa.

What else?

I hope that Father won't make the wrong decision

because of what happened between me and Senior Zhan.

I wish to stay away for some time

so you can see for yourself how capable Zhan Feng really is.

Tell me. Do you not hate him?

I don't.

But I do hold a grudge.

Even so, I still think he will be a good Master of the villa.

Even if you refuse to accept what I've arranged for you

you don't have to leave.

The Pugilist World is so much more complicated than you think.

However, as the daughter of Lie Ming Jing

it's outrageous to not have, at least, made a living in the Pugilist World.

No, I won't allow it.

- Father-- - Enough!

Let's not talk about it.

Father!

The Bamboo Quarters are now sealed.

Can you bear to have me see the Plum Quarters sealed as well?

Father, please have some tea.

You're back?

Have you come to see me?

No. I've come to help you.

Help me?

Yes. I'll help you leave Flame Villa.

How did you know about it?

I know everything.

Liar. I won't believe you.

You already lied to me once.

I haven't even made you pay for it yet.

This time, I'll be sure to help.

But on one condition.

Take me with you.

Okay.

As long as you can convince my father to let me leave

I'll take you with me away from the Flame Villa.

It's a deal then.

Young Master Xue.

Master Lie, you need not be so polite.

Please have a seat.

I'm afraid of exposing your true identity.

So I haven't dared to visit you in the Pear Quarters.

I don't think it's about exposing my identity.

It's just that you're going back on your word.

You're no longer willing to keep the promise you made to me 19 years ago.

You must agree to one condition.

Young Master Xue, do tell.

19 years later, I'll come to visit you.

I'll take her with me.

I can never forget the gratitude Flame Villa owes Young Master Xue.

How can I go back on my word?

Good.

I'll take Ge'er with me.

Ge'er...

She isn't... someone we can manipulate.

Even if it were me, I might not be able to persuade her to leave with you.

I have my methods.

Anye Luo will soon come out of his seclusion.

When he does, he's sure to seek revenge on Flame Villa

and the entire Pugilist Alliance.

If you don't wish for Ge'er to be involved in it

I must take her with me to Misty Peak to avoid conflict.

This is also to protect her.

All right.

I'll leave Ge'er in your hands.

Yin Xue!

My father really agreed to let me leave?

I'm relieved that I got to see you now.

Stay and assist me in Luoyang.

Yes.

This is the Ice Jade Cup that your third brother gave me.

Take it.

This cup is a sacred relic.

It can regulate Yin and Yang to remedy defects.

It can bring longevity.

But it doesn't have any effect on my illness.

You've been frail since your childhood. It's much more suitable for you.

Seventh Brother.

I spent thousands of gold taels to get this for Father.

However, Father had it safely kept aside without using it.

I didn't expect him to have kept it for you.

Thank you, Father.

All right.

Thank you, Third Brother.

There's no need to thank me.

This is a gift from Father.

I managed to pull through this time...

because of the miraculous doctor your second brother brought in.

While I was casually chatting with that doctor

I mentioned that you lost your hearing as a child.

Who knew the doctor actually told me that her senior had healed such a disability?

Therefore, I've kept the doctor in the palace

so that you can try the treatment as well.

Just give it a chance.

So my efforts weren't wasted.

Yes, Father.

Good!

Summon the doctor.

Yes.

Summon her in!

The commoner Yan Niang greets Your Majesty.

Do rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you.

You will follow Prince Jingyuan to his royal manor.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Seventh Brother, don't worry.

She serves me.

She will surely do her very best to treat your loss of hearing.

Thank you, Second Brother.

Seventh Brother...

Since we were young, we had to pat you on the shoulder

before speaking to you.

I can only speak after you get to read my lips.

Once that miraculous female doctor has you completely healed

it won't be so troublesome anymore.

You're right, Third Brother.

Just be good, and remain only Prince Jingyuan.

Stop investigating me.

Otherwise, it won't be just a courtesan who ends up dead.

What are you whispering to Seventh Brother?

You won't even let your second brother overhear you.

I told him to be very cautious on the way back to his manor.

You... It's rare to hear you say something that serious.

Let's go.

[Blossoms House]

What happened?

Pull over!

It's on fire?

Exactly!

There's smoke everywhere. Take a look!

Find her quickly!

Toss everything out of here!

Miss, Feng Xi Xi's room caught fire!

Is she in there?

We don't know if she's in there or not.

What should we do?

- Who else is inside? - I don't know!

Your Highness, Blossoms House has caught on fire.

It's Feng Xi Xi's room.

Just be good, and remain only Prince Jingyuan.

Stop investigating me.

Otherwise, it won't be just a courtesan who ends up dead.

- Xuan Huang. - Yes.

Put a hold on the investigation.

Tell Blossoms House that

Miss Feng left with an acquainted merchant.

She won't return.

Didn't you tell us to keep investigating?

The real culprit is someone special.

We have to play the long game.

This can't be rushed.

I understand.

Father, I'm leaving.

Hold on.

Remember this.

You are its owner.

- I can't take it. - Take it.

This is my one last request.

Know that it isn't just a seal.

It can save your life.

When I'm not with you...

it can ensure your safety in times of danger.

I'll return it to you when I come home.

Xun Yi, take good care of my father while I'm away.

Yes.

I'm leaving.

Get going.

Let's go.

Die Yi, you should head back now.

Young Mistress, be careful on the way.

You should head back to Blossoms House first.

Yes, Mentor.

Where are we going?

It's a great big world out there.

I'll accompany you wherever you wish to go.

After you.

Young Master Xue, Ru Ge.

- Until we meet again. - Until we meet again.

Until we meet again.

Shall we go?

Lie Xiang, where are we going?

You know very well what Anye Luo is like.

The score between Flame Villa and Dark River Palace

must be settled eventually.

Master Lie, take care.

Yes.

You can leave now.

His Highness doesn't wish to be treated by anyone.

He only agreed to it to put His Majesty's mind at ease.

As I've been entrusted by His Majesty, I will treat His Highness's illness.

That's not possible.

Please leave now.

Have you even asked His Highness? You turned my services down so quickly.

Your Highness should know by now that

I've sent my assassins after Young Master Xue for three years.

Aren't you curious as to why?

Speak.

Your Highness can ask me two questions about him.

However, in exchange, you have to let me treat your illness.

Why do you insist on treating me?

It's because you're His Majesty's most trusted and favorite son.

If I can recover your hearing

it's as good as rendering a great merit to the Imperial Court.

It's beneficial to you, me, and the Thunderclap Sect.

Therefore, I insist on treating your illness.

If Your Highness doesn't trust me...

Your servant Chi Zhang

was once known as "Medical Deity" in the Pugilist World.

I can teach him the skills of acupuncture to treat your illness.

All right, I'll agree to it.

Your Highness, please ask your questions.

Why have you been trying to have Yin Xue killed?

It's because he harmed my family.

Yin Xue...

Who exactly is he?

He isn't human.

He's a monster who has lived for over 100 years.

Your Highness.

There's no verifying the identities of those in the Pugilist World.

It's too dangerous to try this.

Your Highness.

Moreover, that woman seems suspicious in some way.

We can't believe everything she says.

What is the matter with His Highness?

I'd like to give it a try.

Your Highness!

Let me give it a try.

Officer Huang.

Yes.

Report this back to Master Lie at Flame Villa and seek his advice.

I believe that he must know Young Master Xue very well.

Yes.

You're the only female guard in my retinue.

Are you willing to stay with Ge'er to keep her safe?

I'll risk my life if I have to.

You followed me this entire time. Can you knock it off?

I like doing the opposite of what others want.

If you won't let me follow you, I'll insist on doing so.

Besides, if you can visit Ping An Town, so can I.

You better not push it.

Top Blade City is just ahead.

What about Top Blade City?

Do you think I'm scared of your two brothers?

You're...

not afraid of death?

Are you worried about me?

Third Young Mistress.

Acting upon orders, I am to welcome you back to the city.

Who sent you?

It's our Young Master.

Young Master Lei.

Thank you for escorting me.

Here is where we part ways.

Take care.

You're welcome. Miss Dao, take care.

Let's go.

Young Master Lei, our Young Master has told me to pass on a message.

Top Blade City and the Thunderclap Sect of Jiangnan are different.

We both mind our business.

Young Master Lei, please return to Jiangnan soon

and leave our Young Mistress alone.

How arrogant. Are you trying to scare me?

I wouldn't dare do so. Young Master Lei, take care.

- Young Master! - Young Master!

Young Master, are we returning to Jiangnan?

There's no rush.

We'll stay here for a few more days.

This is close to Top Blade City so we can find out more about them.

- Yes. - Yes.

Leave.

Oh no... I forgot to bring fire starters with me.

Wow.

So what should we do now?

I can fix this.

You're pretty good.

My Flame Fist is only good for these trivial chores.

It looks like we'll have to hunt for food.

Right, Xun Yi packed some dried food--

We'll have those when we really have nothing to eat.

What are we having now?

We'll eat whatever we hunt.

Nice bow.

Nice bow!

Do you like it?

If you like it, I can teach you how to make one.

The inner forces we trained in work against each other.

I know.

I can teach you how to master it

without it working against your inner force.

- Would you like that? - Sure.

I'll teach you if you kiss me.

Yin Xue.

Yin Xue?

If you like it... I'll teach you later.

Your Highness.

Is that the Ice Jade Cup?

Yes.

That is a very good thing to have.

If you use it well, it will be beneficial in taking care of your health.

Is that the sound of a wind chime?

Congratulations, Your Highness!

Congratulations, Your Highness.

Thank you so much.

Your Highness need not thank me.

We each can have what we need.

As long as the Thunderclap Sect swears no harm comes to the people

I can guarantee you a century of peace.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Why is it that after hearing that wind chime...

I can't hear anything again?

Please rest assured, Your Highness.

As long as you keep up with this treatment

you'll be able to hear every sound in this world within three days.
