The Flame's Daughter
Episode 2
Miss, stop thinking about it. Let's just think of another way for next month.
I just want my ranking to go up a little. Save enough money sooner, so I can leave this place.
Don't know if Miss is willing to share your father's story to me.
Why do you ask?
Maybe, I can help you.
This matter involves a lot of people. You won't be able to help me, so don't bother asking.
Madam Hua.
Miss Feng, congratulations.
Congratulating me? What's there to congratulate?
There is an important guest that's here to see you.
Important guest?
Young Lord Yu.
Miss Feng, my young lord has paid enough money
to book you for a whole month.
Booked me?
Indeed.
Ms. Feng, aren't you still going to hurry and invite Young Lord Yu inside?
Serve him well. Hurry.
Young Lord Yu of Flaming Hills booked Miss Feng for a year!
Hurry and change the ranking!
Yes.
You said that Yu Zihan also moved in?
Yes, older brother. He lives just adjacent to us.
A cripple like him booking a brothel lady...
Aren't he afraid of being laughed at?
Could he be here also for the person on top of the Unrivaled Beauty Famous Flower Chart?
Young Lord Yu, do you want me to prepare some hot water for you so you can take a bath first?
Ms. Feng, please come out with me.
I'm going out?
Prince doesn't like to be disturbed.
When will you be going back?
I know that you are a smart person. I'll be direct then.
My young lord came to Taste Flower Brothel not to spend the night with you,
but for that Lady Ruge inside the room.
Ge'er?
You called her Lady Ruge?
Correct.
Okay. I understood.
Miss indeed can understand things clearly.
We will pay the money as agreed. We won't treat you unfairly.
For so many years in this business, what kind of client have I not seen?
Don't worry. I understand.
Senior Yu, how did you find me?
You asked me about Dao Wuxia, so I guessed that your trip has something to do with him.
I then came to test my luck and indeed found you.
Nothing can indeed escape your eyes.
You left for 3 months. I would worry.
Ge'er, when do you plan to go back?
I don't know.
Everyone is worried about you.
How about him? Did he ask about me? Did he ask where I went?
- Just treat it as if you didn't see me. - Ge'er--
Let's not talk about these. Senior Yu, if someone will tell the people in our sect
that Yu Zihan who has lived in seclusion within a bamboo forest for so many years
surprisingly booked a woman in Taste Flower Brother. People will surely not believe it.
You didn't tell about others about my matter, right?
That's good then.
Say, Dao Wuxia traveled far to come here
not really just for carnal pleasures, right?
That is also my question.
We just need to observe and act accordingly. The dark clouds will eventually dissipate.
Okay.
[Cranes dance in the fancy hall]
Master.
I didn't know that you will back today, so I wasn't able to--
Enough. Enough. Get up.
I have such an illustrious reputation in this life, but how come I accepted an inflexible disciple like you?
Is Master being chased and ambushed throughout your journey?
Just some lowly skilled people. Not worthy to be mentioned.
But her...how was her stay here these past days?
- Eldest Miss knows very well how to take good care of yourself. - Good.
Oh, right, Master. I've already met her.
Do you want me to arrange for you to meet her?
I am going to personally look for a time to let her meet me very well.
- Give me a pass! I have the money! - Yes, I have money!
The entrance pass for today has been sold out. Just come back next time.
Wait!
Let's quickly go.
Didn't I give enough money to you last night? I even usually give your servants several liang of silver.
Young Lord Lei, yesterday is yesterday. Five days are five days after.
I also can't do anything about it. Young Lord Lei, please excuse us.
Pack up the things and let's go.
- Yes. - Don't go!
Hey, wait!
It's you. Why are you following me?
Because that night, I already knew that you are not normal.
What's abnormal about me? I'm just a servant.
That night, Prince of Jingyuan looked at you several times.
If you are a normal servant, he wouldn't look at you.
What do you really want?
It's not some big deal. I also won't expose you. I want you to get me an entrance pass.
What pass?
The pass to enter your Taste Flower Brothel.
You can enter the brothel as long as you have the money. What pass are you talking about?
That is before. Now that Yin Xue is back, a pass is required.
Who is Yin Xue?
No way. So, the reason you sneaked in here to be a servant was not to see him?
Anyway, I want a gate pass. Are you agreeing with it or not?
I don't even know where I'll get that pass--
Oh, no, my Second Mother is here! Quickly leave!
- What?! - Thunderbolt Clique's Huoqi, quickly leave!
Second Mother.
Who told you to come to Luoyang?
I kept hearing father talk to you about that world's number one beauty. I then got curious and came here to look.
I told you before that you are not allowed to interfere with my matters.
I promise that I'll leave once I see him.
Second Mother, please have mercy. Stop hitting my face--
Sect Leader asked that you return to Thunderbolt Clique now.
Second Mother, you're lying! My father won't care about me!
I'll go back once I see her!
Eldest Miss.
I was able to buy it!
Young Lord Yu, the high grade junshan yinzhen tea that you wanted.
Thank you, Young Lord Yu.
Miss, when I went down to buy the tea earlier, I saw so many people. It was so lively.
Did anything happen?
Yin Xue is back.
Yin Xue?
Yin Xue is the top beauty in the Unrivaled Beauty Famous Flower Chart. He is also widely accepted as the world's number one beauty.
He usually travels for most of the year.
Every time he comes back, this is the sight that you'll see.
Oh, it's like that.
Also, this Yin Xue is not only beautiful, he's also a zither sage.
That's why, people who wants to see him are not only the crude jianghu people,
even the important ministers of the government or princes all want to see him.
She is the zither sage?
Youqin Hong is his disciple that's why Mr. Youqin has such great zither skills.
Wow! She's not only a zither sage, she's even Mr. Youqin's master.
After Miss described him, I so want to meet her now.
There are too many people who wants to see Yin Xue.
But, he only stays in Taste Flower Brothel for a night and this brothel is just this huge.
That's why, for those who wants to see him beforehand, they must get an entrance pass first.
No wonder that rascal was asking me for an entrance pass.
What's wrong?
Didn't you go out to buy some tea leaves earlier?
Why were you out for so long?
Right. I met a rascal on my way.
I was able to get in that easily?
Why still buy some entrance pass?
You must be careful.
Especially in caring for your legs.
Oh, right, I want to borrow the 'A Homesick Traveler's Dream' composition.
'A Homesick Traveler's Dream'? Father mentioned that before.
It was stored inside the imperial palace.
Could it be he is related to the royal family?
Okay. I'll let Huang Cong get it for you.
Okay.
I'll go now.
Aren't you curious why I want this musical composition?
You don't need to explain.
I will give you what you want.
Miss, this musical composition was bestowed by the Emperor.
You must not lose it.
Don't worry. I'll just lend it to my friend so he can copy it. I'll then return it to you.
Mr. Youqin.
- How come it's you? - How come it's you again?
Of course, it's me again. This is the back garden of Taste Flower Brothel.
- Okay. - Mr. Youqin!
Why did you tie Mr. Youqin up?
He kept shouting.
It wasn't easy for me to sneak in here. I was afraid that he'll foil my plan.
It's my first time seeing someone daring to hurt people of Taste Flower Brothel.
Why can't people from Taste Flower Brothel be touched?
Do you now who I am?
I don't care.
This person's martial arts is that strong?
How come he got tied up by me?
Who knows?
- Mr. Youqin! - Wait!
Why do you keep pestering me?
Why do you talk like that? Let me tell you this.
I am the young master of Jiangnan's Thunderbold Clique.
You must be careful when you talk to me.
Jiangnan's Thunderbolt Clique?
- Are you afraid now? - Why would I?
Young Lord Yu of Flaming Hills is staying in my Miss' room now.
The one next door is the young master of Swordless City.
With the two of them around, you think I will fear you?
Stop belittling our sect.
In less than 10 years, Flaming Hills and Swordless City will submit to my father!
Okay. I will now submit to you.
- Submitting to you. Are you satisfied now? - That's more like it.
- Hey, what is this thing? - Hey! Give that back!
Men and women shouldn't be too close.
Your hand! Your hand!
Give it back to me.
You just have to promise me one thing and I'll give this back to you.
My fist can hurt you.
Can you defeat me?
If you can't, let go!
Say it. What matter?
Help me stay here.
You're one huge living person. How would I be able to make you stay here unnoticed?
You were able to sneak in and be a servant, so you surely have the ability to help me stay here.
Still going at it?! Let go!
Fine. I agree.
Don't lie to me then.
I never lied to anyone since I was little.
That's more like it.
When will you give that back to me?
Once I see Yin Xue, I will naturally give you this back.
It's a deal then.
Keep that in proper care. That's very important to me.
Okay. I know already.
Still going at it?!
Ms. Feng, what are you doing?
I, Feng Xixi, begs Prince of Jingyuan to give me justice.
I want to seek justice for my father.
When did you discover my identity?
My father used to be your trusted subordinate.
More or less, he has described to me
the Prince of Jingyuan that the Emperor favors the most, which is identical to you.
And this morning, I heard Ge'er asking you the 'A Homesick Traveler's Dream' musical composition.
This musical composition was said to have been lost for a long time.
But I know that it is being kept in the imperial palace.
Hence, I was able to guess your identity.
I beg Prince of Jingyuan to give me justice.
My father getting involved in the fight for the Crown Prince position was totally against his will.
Afterwards, he got framed up by Prince of Jingxian, but good thing, he was spared from execution.
He instead got exiled to the far borders. But this is really a frame up.
I previously frequently heard from my father that
among the princes in the palace, you are the most trusted one by His Majesty.
And only you is the most just and pure.
I beg Prince to clear my father's name. I beg Prince to shower me with your graces.
Ask about this situation clearly. Investigate this case.
Yes.
Ms. Feng, please follow me to somewhere where we can talk more privately.
Ms. Feng, tell me first what your father's name is and what happened before.
- Xuan Huang. - Prince.
Investigate Yin Xue.
Yes.
This is an important joyous occasion for us. Inform everyone to be in perfect spirit.
- Okay. Yes. - Quickly prepare for it. Inform them fast.
Madam Hua, is Yin Xue back?
That's right. The top beauty of our Taste Flower Brothel is back.
This is the grandest happy occasion here in Luoyang.
- Quickly come here! - Okay. Coming.
Immediately inform every inns and alleys here in Luoyang,
every people that bought our entrance pass
that Yin Xue has returned earlier and that the day of his banquet to entertain the guests will be done earlier.
Yes. Yes.
Right. Not only the banquet,
Yin Xue also said that tonight will be the day that he's leaving Taste Flower Brothel.
He will choose one person among all the guests with whom he will be with for the rest of his life.
Yes. Yes.
- Quickly go. Quickly inform them. - Okay. Okay.
Say it clearly. Why do you want to see Yin Xue?
You want to marry this early?
It's the world's no. 1 beauty. Who wouldn't want to see her?
If not because those entrance passes of Taste Flower Brothel have been sold out,
I wouldn't need to eat candies and vegetables here and staying in advance for so many days.
Can you return the zither composition to me now?
Considering that you've been feeding me, I'll give it back to you.
Keeping it with me is of no use too.
Mr. Youqin.
When will that rascal leave?
That rascal...
Mr. Youqin, I've brought the 'A Homesick Traveler's Dream' I promised you last time.
Here.
Thanks.
Come. Come. Quickly entertain them.
Is Yin Xue really choosing a master today and follow her for a lifetime?
Madam Hua, you must not lie to me.
Why would I lie?
Yin Xue personally said that yesterday.
- Come, please come in. - Okay! Okay! - Please.
Second Madam, you're not really going in?
- Where is Young Master? - He is inside.
Secretly monitor. No need to show yourself.
Yes.
Young Lord Fu, you didn't inform me first and came here on your own.
Come. Come. Sit. Let's drink.
Come.
Remember. The main role today is not us.
That's why, no matter what happens, don't get impulsive and don't talk.
Older Brother, don't worry. I know what to do.
Doesn't Older Brother want to take Yin Xue home this time?
Tonight, we're just here to observe. Yin Xue has been travelling for so many years.
He suddenly came back now talking about choosing a master that he would follow forever.
This surely isn't that simple.
Didn't Sect Master say anything?
Since Sect Master ordered us to come here to investigate,
he probably doesn't know too what Yin Xue is planning to do.
Let's just act accordingly.
Eating mantous this morning and then lunch.
I still have to eat one for dinner?
Isn't this your own free will?
There are still 4 days?
This is such a torment.
Seeing how you've already suffered,
let me tell you a secret. Yin Xue moved his entertainment banquet to today.
What?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!
It's also not late to say it now.
How about it? How do I look?
There are a lot of guests today. You won't have any seat even if you go in.
Also, Yin Xue will never see you.
You don't need to worry about that. I have my ways.
This time, I won't just let him see him. I'm going to make him remember me.
I'm not talking to you anymore. Just treat it that I owe you a favor. I surely will repay it in the future.
I don't care.
Not right. I must go too.
- Let's go then. - Let's go. Your sword.
You feel unwell?
This seat is supposed to be mine.
[Thunderbolt Clique] - Oh, Young Master Lei, so sorry.
Noble guests, tonight is our Taste Flower Brothel's grand day.
It is also Luoyang City's grand joyous event.
Our top beauty Yin Xue is back!
Good! Good!
He will be choosing a master among the guests here to follow for the rest of his life.
It was really worth it. Not only will we be able to see the number one beauty in this world, we will be able to hear the zither sage playing.
No wonder, so many people struggled to come in here.
It was really worth it.
I really want to see what this world's number one beauty, Miss Xue, looks like.
Ge'er, why did you call her Miss Xue?
Isn't she Miss Xue?
Stupid girl. He is a real man.
Man?! He is a man?!
That's right. People outside Taste Flower Brothel likes to call him Young Lord Xue,
or directly call him Young Lord.
Then, why is he included in the Unrivaled Beauty Famous Flower Chart...
Because he has the right to be in it.
Then...
Isn't this world's number one young lord?
I seem to have seen him before.
Wrong. It's impossible for me to have seen him.
Young Lord, as long as you are willing to come with me, I'm willing to pay 10,000 silver!
His bid was 10,000 silver.
I'm bidding 200,000 silver!
I'm bidding 500,000 silver!
Mine is 600,000 silver!
600,000 silver.
1 million silver!
1 million?!
Her offer was 1 million liang silver.
From where did this lady come from?
I am willing to pay 1 million liang silver as long as you stay by my side forever.
1 million?
Not enough.
Gold!
Still not enough.
How many do you want? I can give them all to you.
You lady, don't you have any shame?
Openly spending money to buy a man here, no wonder he doesn't like you.
A man spending money to buy a woman is right and proper,
while women are not allowed to buy a man?
You're really rude and unreasonable.
I won't lower to your level today. Someone in the future will deal with you.
I, Dao Liexiang, is standing here today.
Let's see who dares to deal with me?
Such bold words.
You really think that your Swordless City is the only sect in this world?
Lowly man, you dare to be this unruly?!
Liexiang, sit down.
Young Lord, what about me?
We can be counted to be fated today. Why don't you come with me?
Who are you?
I am the young master of Jiangnan's Thunderbolt Clique, Lei Jinghong.
As long as you come with me, I'll give you the whole Thunderbolt Clique.
Jiangnan is too far. I don't like it.
What do you like then? I'll take it for you.
Everything about you is good. Too bad...
Too bad, what?
Too bad, I already have someone I like.
I just don't know if she will dislike me.
Who dares to dislike you? I'll blast him into pieces!
Not only am I afraid that she'll dislike me,
I am more afraid that the people around her will hinder us from staying together forever.
Who dares to hinder you two?
- I surely will not spare them. - Young lad, go down.
Go down! Go down!
Such profound internal energy.
Young Lad, jianghu is very dangerous. Don't be too arrogant.
Tonight is night that Young Lord Xue will be choosing the person he wants to follow forever.
No matter how we compete, it is meaningless.
We still have to honor Young Lord's wishes.
That's right, Young Lord Lei, you're not the main star for tonight.
That's right! You're not the main star! Sect Leader Lei is a firm and unyielding hero.
You should stop embarrassing your father.
That's right! Stop embarrassing yourself! Get down!
Just go do what you need to do!
Get down! Get down!
Quickly sit down! Young and arrogant...
Tonight, the person that I'm choosing is...
Who could it be? Who?
Choose me! Who is it?
Who?
She.
Who is that? How come it's her?
Me?
Did I expose myself?
It's not possible.
Ge'er.
If you don't face me, how could I see what you're saying?
Don't you find it fishy?
I do.
Why then are you not helping me come up with an idea?
Calm down. Xuan Huang and Huang Cong already went to investigate.
Good thing, you are here.
If my father learns about what happened today, he surely will mock me.
Master will never mock you.
For jianghu matters, there will always be a reason for everything.
If Master knew about this, he would act just like me, that is to investigate the details of this matter.
No, I must clarify this.
Did you see her expression just now?
She was shocked.
Young Lord really knows to make fun of people.
I've waited for so long. If I don't make fun of her, I won't be able to vent.
Oh, right, give my instructions.
Prepare my usual needs and belongings.
We will set out anytime.
- Yes. - Yes.
Madam Hua, I want to see Yin Xue for a moment.
Young Lord is resting.
He will wait for you tomorrow noon at the back garden.
Keep watch over this.
Here.
Come.
So many luggage. Who owns those?
Come here.
These past 2 years, the Second Madam of Thunderbolt Cliqiue has been chasing after Young Lord Yin Xue. She has repeatedly tried to kill him,
but they didn't succeed.
How did this Young Master Xue offended the Thunderbolt Clique?
If we want to clearly know the details of this matter, we might need a few more days.
World Swordless City and Jiangnan's Thunderbolt Clique appeared in Luoyang at the same time.
This surely isn't coincidental.
Based on what happened last night, these two great clans came for Young Lord Xue.
Could it be this Young Lord Xue has offended the different jianghu sects?
He wanted to rely on Eldest Sister to ensure his safety?
What is the identity of Yin Xue?
This person has no definite whereabouts.
He didn't come from any sect. No background.
Several years ago, he joined Taste Flower Brothel. He became a sensation overnight. People call him the Zither Sage.
Have you met me in the past?
No.
Do you find me beautiful?
You are still too young.
Then, did I do any special action at the hall last night that attracted your attention?
It's not that.
Then...it's love at first sight and you just oddly fell in love with me?
It's not that too.
You know my surname?
Your surname is meaningless to me.
Say it. What do you really want?
Do you have anything?
I don't have anything at all.
What then can I get from you?
To put in frankly, I don't want to take you with me.
Why?
Because I couldn't stay here in Tasting Flower Brothel for a long time.
- I want to go home. - I know.
I already ordered people to prepare carriages carrying all my luggage.
I will go wherever you go.
As a lady, how can I bring a man home?
My father will scold me.
It's because of this.
Anyway, I don't want to take you with me.
I can help you.
Help me with what?
Why did you come to Taste Flower Brothel?
- My reason was so I can-- - Things that Feng Xixi won't be able to teach you.
Other than me, no one else can teach you...
how to get a man's heart back.
I am not. Don't speak at will.
There is a young man whose parents have died when he was little and he was adopted by your father.
You and him were brought up by the same nanny.
He wields a sword called Tianming (Heaven's Fate).
That year, the winter in Flaming Hills was so cold.
Water lilies and lotuses wouldn't be able to grow. But he wouldn't believe it.
Hence, he hid it from his junior sister and secretly transported 200 water lilies and lotuses from Jiangnan.
Day and night,
he constructed a water lily pond on the eastern side of the hills.
Too bad, only 14 plants survived.
He then took these 14 water lilies and told you he loves you.
How did you know this?
You were engaged three years ago
But 2 years ago, he brought a brothel lady back called Ying Yi.
From then on, he stopped caring about you.
Thus, you were hurt.
Who really are you?
You came to Taste Flower Brothel because you wanted to find out
why he would fall for a brothel lady and betray you.
But you haven't found the answer yet. Right?
I was able to be at the top of the chart of the world's no. 1 brothel for a long time.
I can definitely help you.
Were you moved by my offer?
Are you willing to take me now?
I'm not that foolish.
Being betrayed by a man for two years and you still don't want to give up. You still think you are not foolish?
- You have a motive for approaching me. - Really?
- Do you know what my name is? - Lie Ruge.
See? I already said that you knew my name.
Your Flaming Hills has 3,000 skilled martial artists.
Why fear me?
Don't you want to know why an outsider like me was able to know these ugly news
that your father tried his best to hide?
Don't you want to know why Zhan Feng had a change of heart?
Not refusing means you have agreed then.
