[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 13]

It's Young Master Feng and Third Young Mistress Dao.

The wedding is on February 2.

I thought that you were only skilled in the zither.

Training is tough.

How can I make it through without learning a few more skills?

Where are we going for the medicine?

The Misty Deity Lineage?

Someone is following us.

Indeed.

Ever since I left Misty Peak, such rascals are always around.

Don't mind them at all.

Are you actually staying up all night to watch over us?

It's so cold. Come inside quickly.

Will getting that medicine be dangerous? Should I ask Flame Villa for a few men?

You mustn't. This trip must be kept confidential.

All right.

Come in now.

Snap out of it.

This is...

What is it? Don't you recognize it?

Of course I do.

You didn't tell me that we were passing through here.

Silly girl. We're not passing through.

We're not?

This is our destination. Xue's Flatbread Stall in Ping An Town.

Didn't you tell me that we were coming to get some kind of medicine?

Yes, we're getting it here.

What medicine can we get here?

We're getting...

the medicine for my heart.

Before I heal your senior, Yu Zi Han, I have to heal the wound in my heart.

I'm not joking.

Neither am I.

That day, we went our separate ways here.

You abandoned me here because of Yu Zi Han.

Now that I've brought you back here...

can you just stay here with me for a few days like we used to?

I did leave in a rush that day.

But my senior's life is now in danger.

I really can't stay here with you.

Who knows when the next time we'll be here again is?

Royal Jingyuan Manor will need some time

to gather the herbs and build up security.

We might as well wait here if we have to wait in the capital.

Why would they need to build up security?

Your senior will be at his weakest when I undo the curse for him.

I believe that our enemies will surely attack us then.

Therefore, while we're away

your senior will have had the manor secured to ensure our safety.

Moreover, we can distract the enemies by leaving the manor

and buy them some time, right?

All right.

Be sure to correctly calculate how many days we'll be spending here.

Don't delay the treatment.

Don't you worry.

Get ready to open for business.

Open for business?

Go and get ready. Quickly!

I--

- Give me one! - One for me!

Sure!

- One for me! - Slow down!

There's plenty.

- I was here first! - Slowly.

- Here. - This is for you.

Here.

There's plenty for everyone!

- Hold it carefully. - Here you go.

You're open for business again, so don't leave us.

- That's right! - All the neighbors missed you!

Ru Ge! Young Master Xue!

- Mrs. Huang! - You've returned?

Did you both go home to get married?

We didn't...

Would you like to throw a wedding banquet here in Ping An Town again?

That's right! Young people might be inexperienced but we can help out!

Yes!

We really have to thank all the neighbors.

It's the first day my wife and I are back in Ping An Town.

Today, you can have the flatbreads for free!

Great!

How nice!

We wish you every happiness!

Thank you!

Stay blissfully in love!

Have a child soon!

You'll both have a son next year!

Never get mad at each other! Never argue!

Congratulations!

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

- Thank you! - Flatbreads for everyone!

These are all for free today.

Sweet or savory?

Not now.

- One savory and three sweet ones! - Here you go.

Dear child, dear child!

- Mrs. Huang. - I have a gift for you.

Look. Do you like it?

Mrs. Huang, this...

- We're not... Actually... - Thank you, Mrs. Huang.

This girl is still so shy about it.

Mrs. Huang, can we speak in private?

Actually...

Ge'er and I were driven away from home.

You should know that she's the Young Mistress of Flame Villa

but I'm just...

no one important.

That's why we didn't dare hold a high-profile wedding.

I see.

Mrs. Huang, please let the other neighbors know as well.

It's fine that our neighbors know but please don't tell any outsiders.

Master Lie might not be pleased to hear of this matter.

All right...

It really hasn't been easy on you.

Young Master Xue, don't worry. I understand.

Just like we used to, we won't speak of you to anyone else.

Sure, thank you.

I'll keep this is a safe place.

After all...

This is the first gift Ge'er and I received since we got married.

This could also be the last.

Young Master Xue, formalities don't matter.

Just lead your life well.

- I'll have a word with her. - Sure.

- Ru Ge. - Mrs. Huang.

Young Master Xue doesn't have his own house or land.

Nor does he hold an official position.

But he's a good man.

Be sure to cherish him.

Mrs. Huang, take care.

What did you say to Mrs. Huang?

Nothing much.

If you didn't say anything, why did Mrs. Huang suddenly smile?

And she even smiled so strangely--

Ge'er, you're really getting better at cooking.

What did you say to Mrs. Huang?

I'll try this one.

This is also tasty!

Why does she look at me strangely?

- What a great moment. - I know it's tasty.

I do cook very well but--

- But without good wine... - I asked you--

Isn't it such a pity?

Allow me.

Here, have a seat.

Ge'er, I think that your temper is becoming milder now.

When I said this morning that we were married

you didn't get mad at me.

You're always joking around with a grin on your face.

If I take you seriously every time, wouldn't that wear me out?

You acknowledge it then?

What did I acknowledge?

That you're my wife.

Please?

Are you blushing?

Am I really on your mind now?

I'll stop saying it.

Eat.

Why have you refused to eat?

- I don't want to. - What don't you want?

You don't want to marry Zhan Feng?

Exactly.

Who do you want to marry? Yin Xue?

That's not what I mean.

He's never been interested in me.

Lie Xiang, Top Blade City needs you to get married to him.

Anye Luo will make you do so.

Dark River Palace is the most evil sect in the Pugilist World.

How can you help such wicked people?

Having you marry Zhan Feng is just a temporary plan.

It's to demonstrate our loyalty to Anye Luo.

Once Anye Luo unveils Lie Ming Jing's true hypocritical nature

and they fight until they're both too wounded

then I'll step forward to destroy Dark River Palace.

You want to annihilate Dark River Palace?

Exactly.

Aren't you afraid that you'll be despised by the world before you get the chance?

A great man knows when to yield and when not to.

I'd rather stay locked up in this room forever

than marry a man I don't love.

Why can't we just compete fairly and justly?

- Wu Xia-- - Lie Xiang!

Let me finish what I was saying.

Our parents died young. You're my favorite baby sister.

Do you remember who carried you all the way

around Top Blade City just to see you smile?

Do you remember how I risked my life

to defend Top Blade City right after Father passed away?

Now that Flame Villa is at the height of its power

Jiangnan Thunderclap Sect is right at its heels.

Can you really bear to see Top Blade City slowly decline

and be surpassed by everyone else?

It was Father's dying wish to become Head of the Pugilist Alliance.

It's also my life's dream.

I'm now begging you on my knees.

Please help me to fulfill my wish.

I also ask that you help fulfill mine.

I won't marry him.

She's still refusing?

I really spoiled that child.

She's been raised to be willful.

It's okay that she fools around at times

but this concerns the survival of Top Blade City.

Yet she still refuses to agree to it!

If she still refuses on the wedding day

we could have her tied up and taken to the carriage.

All right.

She'll have to accept it when she's married.

Hold on.

Go.

Where have you come from?

The northwest.

The northwest?

How did you get here through such a huge sandstorm?

I was traveling for 10 days when I met merchants going to Luoyang.

We traveled together and avoided the sandstorm.

All right, all right, go on in.

Young Master Lei.

It's been some time.

Dao Wu Hen?

Young Master Lei.

I'm here to--

According to customs, Lie Xiang can't see you anymore.

You should know that she's getting married soon.

If she sees you again at such a time

it would harm her reputation if anyone hears of it.

I just have a few questions for her.

That is inappropriate.

All right.

I've been too inconsiderate.

Well done.

- Young Master. - Stop addressing me as Young Master.

Address me as Castellan.

Castellan?

Lie Xiang's wedding day will be the day I inherit the title of Castellan.

How can you be such a shameless woman?

You're buying a man here, out in public?

- It's no wonder he doesn't fancy you. - It's normal for men to buy women.

Why can't women buy men?

If you dare lay a finger on him, I'll kill you!

You tricked me!

Get over here!

Why don't you take a stroll with me?

Did you think of Xiao Feng?

Yes.

Zhan Feng is getting married.

But whenever I remember that he killed Xiao Feng

I can't think calmly.

Sometimes, what you see isn't always the truth.

But I--

That day, you told me that you saw Zhan Feng walk out with Xiao Feng's body.

But you didn't see him kill the boy, did you?

That means there are still other possibilities.

What else could have happened?

I've said enough.

We only have a few days together, so why do you keep mentioning others?

You always joke around when we talk about anything serious.

I'm such a serious man. How have I ever joked around?

I can't defeat you, so now I am at your disposal.

However, please spare them.

You reap what you sow.

You would surely be punished if you killed them.

Punished?

Don't move.

Why not?

Aren't you at my disposal?

Why have you gone back on your word?

Fine, I won't move. Do it.

Give me a kiss.

Then I'll let them go free.

You can kill me but not insult me.

You said so yourself.

I'll kill them all now.

If you won't do it, I'll keep you alive.

- You-- - A bet is a bet.

What now? Aren't you a female warrior?

Don't you punish the bad and annihilate the evil?

You can't even pull off such a trivial matter and--

Don't turn away.

The sun already set?

Let's go.

You finally came back?

I thought that you were going to sleep until the New Year.

We've been selling flat bread for days. Shouldn't you let me nap a bit?

How did you know that I fell asleep?

Have you done something to me?

What could I do to you?

Stop it.

Let's go.

I don't want to stay up on New Year's Eve out in the wilderness.

How strange.

Why is it so quiet?

It shouldn't be like this on New Year's Eve.

This does seem fishy.

Look! Not even Mrs. Huang's house is lit up.

Don't do anything just yet. Be careful.

Why is our stall still lit up?

Why is our home lit up?

You're right. Why--

Why do you always take advantage of me?

Who took advantage of you?

We live there. What is it if not our home?

Let's go home.

Quickly.

Ru Ge!

Ru Ge has come home.

Young Master Xue is home.

You're both home!

We're home.

Your husband is worried that your first New Year away from home

would be too quiet, so he asked us to come for dinner.

Yes!

You don't mind us intruding?

Not at all! It's so much livelier with everyone.

That's good!

Where's your husband?

He's at the back--

We squabbled a bit and you left me behind.

Which couple doesn't squabble?

The more you do, the closer you get.

Exactly!

In the beginning, no one quarrels.

But it's because you're not familiar with each other.

As times goes by and you have more arguments

you'll rely on each other. Right?

Exactly! We were like them when we were young!

That's right, that's right.

All right, let's have our New Year's Eve dinner!

Come quickly!

Here, here!

Come and have a seat.

Quickly! Let's have dinner!

Young Master Xue, this is so tasty.

- Try this. - Sure.

Just a moment.

Today is the first New Year that I'm spending with my wife.

I wish for her only the best of everything.

Sure!

What do you think she should have first?

This one is tasty!

This? Sure!

- Sure. - Have more.

This one.

This is nice.

This one!

This is quite good.

This? Sure.

- It melts in your mouth. - The bowl is full.

Please take your seats.

Let's sit down.

Grab a seat.

Here.

- All right. - Let's all sit down.

Quickly, let's eat up.

Young Master Xue, I don't know about your hometown's customs

but here, we have lots of customs about eating New Year's Eve dinner.

We have to try every dish and we mustn't eat too quickly.

- Sure. - She's right.

Sure, we'll... We'll eat slowly.

Eat slowly. Take your time.

Dig in.

Sister Ru Ge, you can't bite it into two!

My mother said that bamboo shoots must be eaten whole.

Then everyone at the table can be with one another all year round!

Exactly!

We'll be together all year round! For a long time!

- Well said! - All right.

For a long time!

That's such a good omen. I'll try one.

Good!

- This is such a lucky sign. - Exactly!

Eat it as a whole?

Exactly!

Wonderful!

You're such an opportunist.

You're the one not using your brains.

Here, dig in!

Everyone, enjoy the food!

- Master. - Come!

Let's have dinner.

Xun Yi, have a seat and join us.

Master, this is against the rules.

You'll marry Jing Lei sooner or later.

Besides, it's New Year's Eve dinner. The livelier, the better.

Come here. Ge'er isn't around so you can have her seat.

- Master, I can't. - Master already said so.

You should just take the seat.

But I can't take the Young Mistress's seat.

Just sit down.

Sit down.

You came to Flame Villa at a very young age.

One could say that I watched you grow up.

You're almost like another daughter.

Today, since I let you sit here, you should just take the seat.

Did you hear that?

Young Master Ji, after you.

Zhan Feng, drink less. Have a bit more to eat.

Let me do it, Mrs. Huang.

Don't bother.

Go and get some rest.

Thank you.

Why are you being so polite?

Young Master Xue, I get to hear you play the zither so beautifully every night.

Right?

You've all heard him play, haven't you?

I'm just a poor scholar.

It's just a tool from when I used to play on the streets.

Young Master Xue, since everyone is in such good spirits today...

I wonder if you could broaden our horizons by playing us a song?

Yes! Play us a tune!

Play us a tune!

Young Master Xue, would you play us a tune?

Since you don't mind, I'll... show off my humble skills.

- How wonderful! - Please do!

Oh, the beauty I once met...

She is unforgettable.

Alas, if I can't see her everyday

how I will miss her excessively.

Like a male phoenix flying far and wide, oh...

seeking a female phoenix over the four seas.

What can I do, since the beauty, oh, isn't within the eastern wall.

I use a zither instead of words

- to express my deep love for her. - Oh, I figured it out!

My school tutor has recited this.

It's "Phoenix Looking for His Lover"!

Is Young Master Xue playing this tune for Miss Ru Ge?

Am I right?

- Miss Ru Ge! - Miss Ru Ge!

- Miss Ru Ge! - Miss Ru Ge!

It's the New Year...

yet I'm here all alone.

Yin Xue.

Are you asleep?

What's wrong?

We're leaving tomorrow, but you're reluctant to go?

Yes, I am.

If you're reluctant to leave...

don't worry about anything else and just leave with me.

I'm sorry.

There's no need for apologies between us.

I have a question for you.

You have to be stern and serious about your answer.

Ask away.

Why did you pick me in Blossoms House?

Didn't I already tell you that I didn't pick you?

I was waiting for you at Blossoms House.

I know that one day, you'd go there.

That was why I set up Blossoms House.

Did you know me in the past?

Why have you been waiting for me?

I've been waiting ages for you.

Ages...

It's been so long that I sometimes wonder if I'm still alive.

How long has it been?

I've been waiting for you from before you were born.

You're never serious.

I'm done talking. I'm going to bed.

Ge'er... I've told you nothing but the truth.

It's just that you refuse to believe me.

Don't move.

I'll plead with them.

They will surely save you.

Mentor, I beg you, please revive her.

I'm willing to kneel here at Misty Peak for 10 years.

All I ask is that you save her.

She's dead.

She left you her last words.

She wants you to leave your diabolic practices

and return to the Misty Deity Lineage.

Mentor...

Please accept me once again... into the Misty Deity Lineage.

You've spent many years in Dark River Palace.

If you wish to return to the practice of the deities

only 100 years of bitter coldness can return your bones from ice

and your flesh from snow.

Now that you're returning to our lineage

it is inevitable that all your skills must be stripped from you first.

Such agony...

I'm afraid that you won't be able to handle the pain.

I can.

Even if you make it into the realm of the deities...

I'm afraid you still can't change destiny.

I can.

I'll be able to see her again.

Yin Xue?

Yin Xue!

Yin Xue!

What's wrong?

Are you in pain?

I'm all right.

It's an old injury from back in the old days.

Whenever it's cold, the injury acts up.

I feel a bit cold.

I've used my Flame Power to warm up Senior Yu before.

Let me try it on you. Here.

Do you feel better now?

Can you feel the warmth?

Yes.

Do you feel any better yet?

I'm getting too warm.

I'm much better now.

You seem to look better.

Answer me.

Won't you get hurt when you're healing Senior Yu?

I'm highly skilled in martial arts.

It will be very simple for me.

Liar.

When have I ever lied to you?

Do you want me to list them all?

You said you were going to Flame Villa in order to help me.

But you went back on your word.

You still hold a grudge for something from so long ago?

Definitely.

Then you said we were coming to get some medicine

but you brought me here to sell flatbread.

Isn't it nice to spend New Year's Eve together?

You're such a strange woman.

You want a reason for everything.

How boring.

I've never stayed up for New Year's Eve outside Flame Villa.

Don't worry.

You'll get more chances to do so.

Oh, I'm so sleepy.

I'll go to bed first.

You--

Go ahead, sleep.
