[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 40]

Madam.

What are they doing?

Deputy Master told us to plough up the lotus pond to replant it.

We're tidying it up.

Deputy Master said that your birthday is coming up

so he'd like to gift this to you.

I'm here.

You're here again?

What do you mean by that?

Didn't you tell me to come here?

Did I?

Of course you did.

Have you forgotten?

I came to see you at midnight three days ago

and you promised to tell me about my parents.

That's true.

I'm the Madam of the villa.

You don't even repay me, and now you forget your promise to me?

I thought that you'd need more time.

Why would I need more time?

After all, this is about your biological parents.

Crying all day long won't help me tackle the enemies.

Well said.

All right then.

Let's go, my Madam Lie.

Where are we going?

Maple Quarters.

- Maple Quarters? - Yes.

- Madam. - Madam.

Young Master Xue.

Where's Deputy Master?

He went to train by the waterfalls.

You're both dismissed.

Don't worry. Go on.

- Yes. - Yes.

Your parents took their lives one after the other, in this room.

Right here?

Lie Ming Jing assigned these quarters to Zhan Feng so Anye Luo would believe

that Zhan Feng was your parents' only child.

Lie Ming Jing also believed

that your parents would somehow watch over his only son for him.

Then it's also in this place that Zhan Feng...

slowly began to doubt Father.

The furnishings in here are even simpler than they once were.

Zhan Feng has always been like this.

He doesn't like anything that's just bells and whistles.

Your mother's bed was here.

This is where your mother used to freshen up.

Did you know my parents when they were alive?

When I got here, I only saw you, a newborn.

Your mother had already killed herself.

She stabbed Anye Luo with this hairpin.

I sealed you for three years and took away this hairpin.

Now that you know about the truth, I'll return it to you.

This hairpin carries too much grief.

It has become a weapon now.

Promise me not to use it unless you have no other choice.

Do I look like my mother?

Lie Ming Jing told me that you look just like your mother.

But your mother was delicate like a reed by the river.

And you, you're like the rocks under rushing currents.

Although you look alike

no one would mistake you for her.

If my mother was just a delicate woman

she'd never have had the courage to stab Anye Luo and take her own life.

Maybe she only appeared to be delicate?

That does make sense.

Here, be careful.

Anye Luo...

He must have a weakness, right?

Anye Luo isn't human.

He's a demon.

What's the difference between humans and demons?

Humans have emotions.

Demons can only be cruel and cold.

They don't have emotions like ordinary people.

Therefore, he doesn't have any weakness.

But every living thing has a weakness.

What's your weakness?

You clearly know that you're my weakness!

So Anye Luo must also have a weakness.

All right.

We're getting closer to the truth.

Are you making me guess?

How did Anye Luo become a demon?

It was because of a woman.

A woman?

My mother?

Exactly. It was your mother.

Anye Ming was a woman he loved deeply, but could never have.

But how could it be?

Didn't my mother raise him?

All that matters to Anye Luo is what he likes and wants.

He has no regard for morals or ethics.

Unlike your mother.

Although your mother was gentle and subtle

she never compromised with Anye Luo on that.

So it resulted in this tragedy.

What else would you like to ask?

I can pretend to be my mother... and kill Anye Luo.

No.

I definitely can!

I'll look for maids who once served my mother.

I'll learn to speak, act, and dress like my mother.

Do you think you can fool him by learning that in about 10 days?

But this method will work.

I don't believe that it never crossed your mind.

I don't want you to take the risk.

I'm not.

Whether it's to avenge my parents or for the sake of the world

I must kill Anye Luo.

I'm not seeking my own doom.

I'm not scared.

Father...

Mother...

I'll surely avenge you.

I'll get rid of Dark River Palace for the Pugilist World.

I'll kill Anye Luo.

Have some.

Don't you hate me?

I used to torture you at Blossoms House.

Now, I tried to take your husband from you.

He colluded with the Japanese.

My family was killed by the Japanese.

And yet I'm carrying his child.

Third Young Mistress.

Get lost!

Phoenix!

What happened to you?

Who hurt her?

This... I don't know either.

Don't move me!

The chain has a hook at the end.

It's hooked into my flesh.

I'll get someone to undo it!

Who will obey you here?

You fool.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Third Young Mistress.

Who chained her up here?

Was it my brother?

Yes.

- I'll go to him-- - Third Young Mistress.

Castellan has given orders.

This is his woman.

He can have her chained up here.

If anyone asks, just tell them that.

Castellan also said that you shouldn't bother

to plead on her behalf.

Wait here.

I'll go to him!

You?

I'm afraid that would be even worse.

Dao Wu Xia!

Set Phoenix free!

What did you say?

I told you to set Phoenix free!

She came here willingly.

What has she got to do with you?

She used to be my woman.

As long as she was mine for a day, she's related to me for life.

Lie Xiang, did you hear that?

This is the husband you've chosen.

Wu Xia, let Phoenix go.

Are you a fool?

He's pleading on behalf of another woman and you're taking his side?

Phoenix was with him first.

She's a courtesan who pleased many customers.

How does she come first?

- Wu Xia-- - Shut up!

Lei Jing Hong.

You went against me yesterday for a Thunderclap Sect disciple.

Today, you fight with me over a courtesan.

How can I be at ease and marry my sister to you?

Fine.

I'll beg you.

Let Phoenix go.

You're begging me?

Say it again.

I beg you to let Phoenix go, Castellan Dao.

Very good.

I'm a bit swayed.

But that isn't good enough.

What else do you want?

Kneel down and acknowledge me as your master.

Wu Xia!

You...

It's fine if you won't do it.

Women...

they're just a bit of fun.

I beg you to let Phoenix go, Castellan Dao.

Where's Lei Jing Hong?

He and I are getting married in a few days.

He doesn't approve of this marriage at all.

But that day, he knelt in front of my brother for your sake.

You're upset?

Yes.

Why are you still seeing to my wounds then?

He cares about you.

He and I... were never together.

What do you mean?

We never had the kind of relationship you think we had.

He...

He never liked me that way.

Is it because I saved you--

He saved me, not you.

Moreover, with my temperament

If he really was my man... do you think I'd let you have him?

He never cheated on you... Dao Lie Xiang.

Is it all done?

Yes! Don't come in yet.

She isn't dressed.

Wu Xia will only let Phoenix leave Top Blade City once we're married.

I had no other choice today.

I understand.

You do?

All right, enough said.

If you're worried about Phoenix, we'll let her stay in our room

until the wedding.

She's wounded anyway.

It's easier for me to dress her wounds.

Lie Xiang, thank you.

Granny, this is our Madam.

Greetings, Madam!

Granny!

Granny, even if I'm the Madam, you don't have to greet me so.

Madam...

Your mother saved my life.

Kind souls always suffer the most.

I wanted to repay her kindness... but I couldn't!

Weren't you a maid in Flame Villa?

I wasn't.

We'll talk in the room.

Come.

Hall Master Zhongli.

Young Master Xue, rest assured.

I looked for the old lady myself.

No one else was involved.

Good.

Granny, please have a seat.

I'm here to attend to Madam.

How can I sit down if you don't?

Granny, I asked you here to ask about my mother.

You don't have to attend to me.

- Here, have a seat. - Thank you.

Madam, you can ask me anything.

No one in this villa knows more about your mother than I do.

Yes, Granny.

How about I style your hair the way your mother liked most?

How about that?

Sure!

I still need a hairpin.

A hairpin?

Does this one look like it?

Yes!

Madam, I'll put it on for you.

Yes.

You look so much like her. How pretty.

Now, you're just like your mother.

Granny, what color did my mother usually wear?

She was just like you.

Red?

Exactly.

Your mother said that she was dressed in red

when she first met your father.

She said that the happiest moment of her life was her wedding night.

Ming...

When I was drinking with Ming Jing at the banquet, I thought to myself...

I'm really married to you now.

It's like a dream.

As long as you don't mind where I come from, it's good.

The evil and the righteous will always oppose each other, after all.

I'm from Dark River Palace.

But you're a great hero respected by all.

Ming Jing can be the hero.

I want to conceal my identity and spend the rest of my life with you.

I know that you're only retiring from the Pugilist World because of me.

No.

It's for us.

Madam.

Madam.

Madam.

Madam.

Madam looks so different today.

You're right.

Do you think I look different--

Don't make a sound.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for a way to make Zhan Feng fall out with you

and return to Dark River Palace.

You...

And this... will help you do that?

Yes.

We share a mutual affection.

Zhan Feng hates you out of jealousy.

- Will Anye Luo believe it? - Yes.

All right, I'll go along with your plan.

But--

Do we have to stay still like this?

Since you want them to see us

we might as well open the door so they can see it clearly.

Come take a look.

Let's go.

Aren't you even shy?

Why?

How are we going to do it?

You were engaged once.

Why are you asking me how to act like we're in love?

I didn't do anything special then.

Here, come with me.

Did you lie to me?

What about?

You can just tell Zhan Feng to go to Dark River Palace.

We're in Flame Villa now, not Dark River Palace.

Who are we acting like lovers for?

It's too late to figure that out now.

Youqin Hong is coming.

Mentor.

Put it on the side.

Youqin, this is Mrs. Yin.

Mrs. Yin.

Yin Xue!

- Stop it. - You stop it.

Mentor, I won't disturb you and your wife.

I--

Here you are.

Did you just get back from the training chamber?

I heard that you've improved a lot.

Yes.

Congratulations.

Father was right.

You're the most gifted among his disciples.

Today, you look--

We'll talk inside.

Has Yin Xue already told you?

Yes.

Once you head back there, you're going into the tiger's den.

For Father's sake...

For your father's sake, you must be very cautious.

You mustn't act recklessly.

Yes.

This time...

People will misunderstand you again.

I'm sorry, Zhan Feng.

My father put up with far more misunderstandings than I have.

Take care.

This is the evidence for Thunderbreak Manor's case.

The autopsy results and all witnesses' statements were documented.

Are the witnesses alive? Are they safe?

They're still safe at the moment.

Apart from my two confidants and I, no one else knows about this.

This is wonderful.

I can have Dao Wu Xia convicted with this.

When did you collect this?

After Xie Xiao Feng died.

You've been secretly collecting evidence all along?

I wanted to take over Flame Villa

and then take Top Blade City down to clear Thunderbreak Manor's name.

If Father could've seen this--

Don't worry.

I'll be sure to keep the evidence safe.

I'll have Dao Wu Xia convicted at the Pugilist Convention.

Good.

You must bear Yin Xue's words in mind.

Wait to hear from us.

Then act accordingly.

The lotus pond has been replanted.

You should be able to see the lotuses next year.

Deputy Master.

When will they all be planted?

In two days.

When will we see the lotuses?

That would be next year.

Deputy Master!

He...

Deputy Master is...

Look at him. He's...

Deputy Master must be upset.

Madam is so close to that young master.

If I were him, I'd be upset too.

Madam, when your mother smiled, she was like this.

Yes, that's right.

- Do I look like her, Granny? - Yes.

You're here.

Give me back my Ge'er.

I don't like how you look now.

Granny, look at him.

I've been practicing for so long.

I'm just like her.

Granny said that I'm like her.

They really are very much alike.

Let me take another look.

I've always wielded my whip.

I've never used a sword.

It will take some effort to teach me.

It's all right.

I have all the patience in the world when it comes to you.

You really are so versatile.

You even know about my mother's swordsmanship.

Dark River Palace's former Supreme Master taught her.

Mine is even better than that old man's.

You shouldn't be too serious when you learn it from me.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you outdo your mother.

How arrogant.

Watch carefully.

Your mother raised Anye Luo on her own.

She was quite close to him.

She often talked about the past.

But that devil sure was bold.

He took your mother to Dark River Palace's graveyard.

A graveyard?

It's more of a underground palace.

All the memorial tablets and remains of previous supreme masters

of Dark River Palace are there.

Have you been there?

Whoever went in killed themselves there.

Wasn't he afraid that someone might spot him when he took her there?

Probably not.

Your mother never brought it up.

But she did say that Anye Luo didn't fear death.

He pointed to the memorial tablets and told her

their memorial tablets would also be placed there in the future...

to be worshiped with incense.

Madam!

Deputy Master and Mentor are fighting!

What?

Deputy Master and Young Master Xue?

Where are they?

Behind the mountain. Madam, hurry!

Stop!

I can spare you but you mustn't stay here anymore.

What are you doing?

Ask him!

Young Master Xue is my father's old friend.

How can you fight against him?

What are you doing?

Dao Lie Xiang and I are divorced.

Why do you have to be with him?

Let go of me.

We've been engaged since we were young.

I was at fault before.

I beg you to forgive me.

It's impossible between us. Let go!

Are you out of your mind?

I can't get you out of my mind.

Zhan Feng.

I only kept you here because of my father.

Please conduct yourself with respect.

Zhan Feng, we can talk this over.

Don't be so rash.

Look at you!

You've always had such a temper!

You said that you're only keeping me here for Lie Ming Jing's sake.

Yes.

Ge'er...

Between us, is there really a need for such an excuse?

Yes, there's no need for any excuses between us.

Since you and Yi Lang killed my father, it's over between us.

Madam, you said that he--

He colluded with Yi Lang?

I spared you from being killed by all the other pugilists.

Yet you're still discontent.

When are you going to come to your senses?

Little one, explain it clearly!

Uncle Ling, this is true.

You--

You brute!

You mustn't.

Little one, why are you still defending him?

No matter how much I hate him, I won't kill him.

Because my father loved him the most.

But he was an accomplice to the murder of Master Lie!

You should leave.

Even if I don't kill you, it's hard to say that they won't.

Madam!

Convey my orders.

Zhan Feng has resigned from his position as Deputy Master.

He has left Flame Villa.

From now on, Zhan Feng is no longer related to Flame Villa.

Once you head back there, you're going into the tiger's den.

For Father's sake...

For your father's sake, you must be very cautious.

You mustn't act recklessly.

I've already taught you all the essentials

to Dark River Palace's inner force.

Zhan Feng, bear my words in mind.

Whatever happens, you mustn't get distracted or emotional.

All you have to do is practice the essentials by heart.

Then wait for the chance to take Anye Luo down in one fatal blow.

Of all the things to learn from me, you had to grab the sword like I did.

Don't joke around.

I'm not in the mood.

You're sad?

I'm just worried about Senior Feng.

Although Anye Luo is skeptical by nature

Zhan Feng is still the only child that Anye Ming left behind.

He wouldn't kill him.

Let's hope that Senior Feng can get through this safely.

Zhan Feng, you've returned?

Uncle.

Didn't you already forsake me for Lie Ru Ge?

I want--

Oh? What is it you want?

I want Lie Ru Ge.

That isn't hard.

You're the only kin I have in this world.

I'll give you whatever you want.

Apart from you and your mother, anyone who betrays me has to die.

You and your mother are my only weaknesses.

If you obey me, Lie Ru Ge will be yours.

Yes.

All right, get some rest.

Uncle! Yin Xue is at Flame Villa.
