[The Flame's Daughter]

[Episode 45]

I wonder how Supreme Master intends to test me this time.

Your Highness is to come with me to Dark River Palace alone.

What's the reason?

Lie Ru Ge failed in her assassination.

She's been taken to Dark River Palace.

Since His Highness's legs were healed, he's been acting extremely odd.

- Are you suspecting His Highness? - No.

I'm worried about his safety.

- Your Highness. - Get my horse ready.

- Your Highness-- - Get my horse ready!

If you don't want your subordinates to die

tell them to stop following you.

Once we enter the woods

no one can leave this place without the guidance of our disciples.

Without my orders, no one is to enter the woods

and cause disturbance to Dark River Palace.

Whoever defies my orders, kill them.

After you.

Your Highness, you've come.

You've even prepared wine and food.

How could I not show up?

Have a seat.

Where is Ru Ge?

She's not dead yet.

She's still alive.

What exactly do they have on His Highness

that he'd enter Dark River Palace alone?

Young Mistress.

Young Mistress?

Why would she be here?

Although His Highness didn't say anything

she is the only likely reason that could compel His Highness

to leave everything behind and venture into the tiger's den alone.

Are you out of your mind?

If we don't try, how do we know we can't get in?

Don't you know His Highness well enough after having served him for years?

He didn't let us in so that we wouldn't die.

Will you do nothing when his life is at risk?

We'll burn the woods down.

No.

We've never been to Dark River Palace.

We don't know if it's connected to the woods.

What if His Highness gets hurt when you burn the woods?

Are we just going to keep waiting?

Yes, we can only keep waiting.

If His Highness dared to enter that place

he must have his plans.

We must believe in him.

It's been three days.

Do you still refuse to eat?

Or have you already figured out who the traitor is?

Do you know it isn't as cruel to not to have anything at all

than to have had happiness and then be robbed of it?

Someone who couldn't hear the sounds of wind and birds as a child

and couldn't even walk won't be in agony.

But then one day, he can hear the sounds of wind and birds

and even hear his beloved call his name

and even walk with his own two legs.

Have you never doubted the reason why his health recovered?

That's impossible.

Senior Yu would never do that.

How well do you know him?

We grew up together.

Do you know that he loves you so much that he's in great agony?

He didn't dare to tell you.

He's self-conscious because of his disabilities.

After that battle in the woods of Mount Yi

he realized even more that his disability hindered him from protecting you.

That was why he agreed to my terms.

The moment you left Luoyang

he immediately told me about your entire plan.

I gave him a healthy body.

He's helping me get hold of the world.

Shut up!

Senior Yu would never do such a thing.

Although he's betrayed you, I made him a promise.

I won't hurt you.

I don't believe you.

Yu Zi Han is just an ordinary man.

He surely has his desires.

I don't believe you.

Unless he admits to it.

Sure, I'll let you meet Yu Zi Han.

Senior Yu is also here?

He is.

Don't you wish to see him?

Here.

Young Master.

Here, have a drink.

Senior Yu!

Shouldn't young lovers embrace passionately when they meet?

Could it be that the beauties are so beautiful

that Prince Jingyuan is distracted?

Are you all right?

I'm well.

What are you doing in Dark River Palace?

You shouldn't ask me that.

When did your hearing and paralysis recover?

Anye Luo must have already told you.

Are you going to ask more questions?

You betrayed us.

Yes.

You told him right after you met up with me in Blossoms House?

Yes!

Why?

It's because a man who is physically able is 100 times...

no, 1,000 times better than a disabled man!

I only realized it now that I actually have many choices.

You're not all that I care about anymore.

This once belonged to my mother.

Keep it on you.

Carry it with you.

It can be another sort of protection.

It can set my mind at ease.

You're no longer my senior.

Indeed.

I'm a disgrace to Flame Villa.

Is it heartbreaking?

She would have never known you lied to her

so that I wouldn't hurt her.

You didn't betray her at all.

Yin Xue's inner force is in a mess

so even 10 of Ru Ge and Zhan Feng together

can't even hurt my little finger.

However, it's because it was such a small lie

that she believed it to be true.

In this world, trust is so fragile

that it doesn't exist at all.

Have you thought it through?

Would you like me to rid you of your healthy body

so that you can become disabled again?

You just hesitated.

Once you've had a taste of what it's like to be healthy

it will be worse than death for you to become an invalid again.

Assist me in taking over the world.

I'll offer you a healthy and never-aging body.

How does that sound?

What do I need a healthy and never-aging body for?

I can also offer Lie Ru Ge to you.

I'll make her fall in love with you.

She won't think of any other man but you.

You aren't able to do that!

What if I am?

Leave this to me.

Third Lady has asked for you. Go quickly.

Mother.

What is Lie Ru Ge doing?

After she went with Supreme Master to meet Prince Jingyuan

she's been staying in her room.

Kill her for me.

Will you do it or not?

I won't.

Mother, please let her off.

We're like sisters.

Please spare her life.

She's already locked up, she isn't a threat to you!

Mother, please...

Please spare her life!

I beg you to spare her life!

Anything that's related to Anye Ming will destroy Supreme Master.

She won't...

She won't.

Last time, you helped me because of Ji Jing Lei.

This time, could you just do it for me?

Doesn't your mother matter more to you than some man?

Leave.

I can also offer Lie Ru Ge to you.

I'll make her fall in love with you.

She won't think of any other man but you.

Senior Yu.

This isn't the Ru Ge that I know.

She's yours now.

What have you done to her?

I had her take some drugs so that she thinks only of you.

Senior Yu...

Give me the antidote.

If you won't have her now...

She will be Yin Xue's.

Senior Yu...

Where have you been?

That day when the woods caught fire...

where were you?

I...

Do you like me?

I...

I do.

That day when I was caught in flames, you weren't there...

I really missed you.

Ge'er...

I'll get you the antidote.

Senior Yu!

Don't leave me, please?

Stay here with me, please?

Ge... Ge'er...

Please?

Senior Yu...

Lie Ming Jing's son...

We've spent time together, so there's some affection between us.

Even if you want me to kill you now...

I'd be slightly reluctant.

But I hate it the most when people lie to me!

Listen up.

You can torture him however you want as long as he doesn't die from it.

Yes!

How is it? Are you adapting well?

Enough with the nonsense.

What is it that you want?

I'm here to tell you that...

your beloved is sleeping with Yu Zi Han.

He's lying!

All I did was to go along with Yu Zi Han's desires last night.

Junior Yu...

He would never take advantage of her!

I was the one who gave him a healthy body.

I fulfilled his menial desire to be with the one he loves.

May I ask...

what man in the world can withstand such a temptation?

Anye Luo.

Rage?

Jealousy?

Or is it agony?

I had a taste of what you're now going through.

I can empathize with your agony.

However, I'm very happy to see you both in such a state.

I feel at ease.

Young Master Yu.

Supreme Master is waiting to see you.

Senior Yu?

Go back to sleep.

Are you leaving?

Yes.

Are you going to Luoyang to head back to the palace?

Don't go.

Whenever you're summoned back to the palace, you're away for so long.

Be good. Sleep.

Do you regret coming to Dark River Palace?

My mother is from Dark River Palace.

Even if I remain in Flame Villa, I am but a spy.

Congratulations, Prince Jingyuan.

Let us go after I've helped you take over the world.

All of you?

Yes.

Are you not worried that Yin Xue will take your woman away from you?

We're as good as married.

No one can take her from me.

If I were you, I'd kill them.

What a pity.

You're not me.

Fine!

From today onward, I want to come and go as I please.

Sure.

Come and go as you please.

What else do you need?

What is your approach to our goal?

You've been plotting for years.

You must have planted your spies in all of the other sects.

You're right about that.

As for Flame Villa, I'll command them in the name of the Madam

to be prepared for battle.

By then, they will cooperate with Dark River Palace from within

and take down all the chiefs of the other pugilist sects.

We'll take over the entire Pugilist Alliance.

Good.

I'll handle this matter personally at Flame Villa.

There won't be any problems.

But, in the Imperial Court

I won't be able to go against Prince Jingyang on my own.

Supreme Master will have to help me.

Oh?

The formidable Prince Jingyuan still needs my help?

I resided in Flame Villa for years.

Although I did a great service in defeating the Japanese

and I wield the needed military power...

I have a weak foundation in the Imperial Court.

None of my confidants are in important positions.

I have mine in important positions.

That's good.

I believe that within three years the world will belong to you and me.

One year is enough.

Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you once I get what I want?

If I can help you...

I can also take you down.

You'll set out tomorrow.

Can you bear to leave?

Supreme Master.

Give him whatever he asks for.

Please reconsider, Supreme Master.

He's not so easily tamed.

A king keeps a tiger to subdue the world.

A mediocre man keeps a dog to guard his house.

Do you think I need the former, or the latter?

Senior Yu.

Where have you been?

I went to read some reports.

Your father even sends reports here and now?

Does he spare you any personal space at all?

You should call him His Majesty.

Isn't he still your father?

You're really not afraid to have your head chopped off.

One of the older girls I don't know brought this over.

Read it to me.

Just like when we were children?

When we were children?

You don't remember?

Back then, you wanted me to practice speaking

so you brought me many heterodox martial arts manuals

to read out loud to you.

Then it's no wonder that when I was reading this book just now

I wanted you to read it to me.

Go ahead.

"Gong was Emperor Xiao An's temple name, and he was also known as Hu."

"He was the grandson of Emperor Suzong."

"His father was Qing, Prince Xiao of Qinghe."

"His mother was Lady Zuo."

"The emperor was then in his own royal manor."

"A holy light shone into the room."

"There was also a red snake found in the bed."

Here.

They're enjoying a night together while the two of you are suffering here.

There's such a huge difference.

Here, let's drink!

- This lad has such tough skin. - That's right.

- Miss Xun Yi. - Miss Xun Yi.

I was worried so I came to take a look.

Dark River Palace's dungeon is three levels underground.

Even if the Celestial Being is here himself

he can't escape from here.

Why did you torture him so badly?

This lad pretended to be the son of Second Lady.

He didn't treat us well either.

Now that Supreme Master left him to us, how can we let him off easily?

Exactly!

I heard that you were also ordered around by them as a maid.

Here, vent it out on him with the whip.

I don't want to waste my energy. Why don't you do it?

Sure! I'll help you vent your anger on him later.

Young Master Xue, would you like some wine?

Get lost!

Young Master Xue, you need not get so worked up.

Bring Ru Ge here.

I told you to get lost! Did you hear me?

Get me the whip!

Miss Xun Yi, you mustn't! Supreme Master said that he's a guest.

Miss Xun Yi was picking up the wine cup for Young Master Xue

to get in his favor, but...

she... got scolded.

She's just like her mother.

They are both so useless.

You can leave now.

Yes.

Where's the Flame Seal?

The Flame Seal?

You don't remember?

It's golden.

It has two words on it.

"Flame Villa."

Come with me.

Where did I put it?

That day, after I came in here...

Right, it's here.

Take it. What's mine is yours.

I have to be away for a few days.

Or perhaps 10 or so days.

Be good and wait here for me.

Xuan Huang.

Your Highness.

When Your Highness returns, you'll need only to enter the fog

and the maids will come to fetch you.

All right.

Should Your Highness bring even just one soldier with you

no one will come to fetch you.

- I'm afraid by then-- - Rest assured.

I'll return on my own.

That's good.

If there are no other questions, I'll take my leave now.

Xun Yi!

Your Highness, what are your orders?

I'm heading back to Flame Villa.

Do you have any messages to pass on to Junior Ji?

I think he'd like to hear from you.

Your Highness.

Are you still going to return here?

Yes.

Your Highness, could you tell me what you are doing?

It isn't the time yet.

Let's go.

Quickly, quickly!

- Quickly! - Quickly!

- Young Master Yu. - Young Master Yu.

- Young Master Yu! - Young Master Yu!

Young Master Yu?

- Young Master Yu. - Young Master Yu.

Hall Masters, how have you been?

Young Master Yu, seeing how you are now...

Master Lie, he must be watching over you from Heaven.

Murong, this is worth celebrating. Why are you getting upset?

Gentlemen, I'm here to discuss Flame Villa's future.

Please summon all division masters to Flame Villa for further discussion.

Of course!

But, Madam is away.

Shouldn't we wait until she returns?

There's no need for that.

This will violate the regulations.

Hall Master Murong, don't you trust me?

No, I have absolute trust in Young Master Yu.

Ru Ge is mentally and physically worn out after the battle at Top Blade City.

She's now recuperating at Royal Jingyuan Manor.

I've been asked to handle affairs of Flame Villa on her behalf.

Murong, I mean no offense, but don't you know Young Master Yu well enough?

I'm just...

Hall Masters.

Will this set your mind at ease?

Convey my orders to summon all divisions.

There will soon be a huge battle.

Yes!

Hall Master!

Madam has given orders.

Within three days, all hall masters and division masters

are to summon their disciples to prepare for battle.

Yes!

[Summon all disciples for battle.]

[Summon all disciples for battle.]

Your Highness.

We should stay in the guest room first.

They can tidy the quarters in the meantime.

Don't bother.

We won't be staying for too long.

Yes.

Are you Prince Jingyuan?

From now on, I'm your mentor.

This is your home.

From now on, I'm your sister!

Carefully.

Senior Yu!

- Junior Ji. - Senior Yu.

Here, Young Master.

Where's Ru Ge?

She didn't come home with you?

She's in Luoyang, at the Royal Jingyuan Manor.

Why didn't she return to the villa?

The cases of Thunderbreak Manor and Top Blade City have worn her out.

You and I can take care of the rest.

You're right.

How can she take on all the responsibility?

Senior Feng...

It's best not to mention him.

You and I will take care of Ru Ge from now on.

You don't have to worry too much about such matters now that you can't see.

This is nothing at all.

Back then, your legs--

Are you worried that I'd mind?

Junior Ji, when peace is restored to the world

I'll surely find you a great doctor to restore your eyes.

Young Master.

I have a few words to say.

Go ahead.

What is it?

Between us, what's there to hesitate in telling me?

Don't you find Young Master Yu's visit to be quite strange?

What's this?

Are you even suspecting Senior Yu?

Young Master Yu has never taken part in Flame Villa's affairs.

Yet he returned this time to summon all branch masters

without explaining what it's for.

Young Master, aren't you worried at all?

What exactly are you suspecting him of?

I'm not sure.

It's just judging by Young Mistress's temperament

she couldn't possibly leave everything to Young Master Yu.

That is indeed unlike her.

But it's possible that she's already sick of all these issues.

- But-- - Bi'er.

Even my mentor complimented Senior Yu greatly on his character.

I trust him.

Young Mistress is away...

so only you can keep Young Master Yu in check.

But...

If Young Master Yu intends to do some harm to Flame Villa...

you'll have to make plans in advance.

I'll support anything he plans to do.

Young Master--

Bi'er, come.

You mustn't interfere with what he does.

This is a strict order.

Yes, Young Master.
