The Flame's Daughter
Episode 5
Miss.
Never thought that Lady Ying Yi is also a martial artist.
Miss, did you misunderstand anything?
How can I know any martial arts?
It's just that Young Master Feng saw that I'm weak,
so he taught me some simple martial arts.
Can a simple martial arts skills use my Qi as a sword and block by internal energy?
Letting me cooperate with you in doing a pitiful act?
Looks like Lady Ying Yi is a martial arts genius.
You are way smarter than I thought.
Too bad, you still lost.
You are hating me, right?
I also hate you. If not because of you,
I've long become the madam of Maple Courtyard.
You're using your father to force him.
Crying and begging him to marry you.
Lie Ruge, you really are so shameless.
Thank you, Ying Yi. You helped me make a decision.
I initially thought that Zhan Feng likes you
because even though you are a woman who fell into being a courtesan,
your natural temperament is kind.
That's why, he got very infatuated with you.
But never thought that he would give me up just for a person like you.
Lie Ruge, if you weren't born in Flaming Hills,
if you were not Lie Mingjing's daughter,
he wouldn't marry you!
But I was indeed born in Flaming Hills and is the daughter of Lie Mingjing.
Whether you envy or is jealous about it,
all these are truths. You must accept it.
Moreover, I am currently giving you my blessings.
I hope that you can continue hiding this truth from Zhan Feng and I wish you two forever happiness.
Lie Ruge! I know that you are jealous of me!
Just to prove that I'm really giving you my blessings, let me give you a gift.
You surely will love this gift.
Because this way, you can continue being the Ying Yi that everyone pitied.
There are servants looking behind me. You can't fight back nor evade it.
That slap was in behalf of Die Yi.
Teacher, every 15th is when the cold wind counterattacks.
Go and shut the doors.
Yes.
Teacher.
Leave now.
Yes.
Are you in there?
Isn't the mountain villa having a banquet tonight?
You...why are you still not readying for it?
Will you go?
If you want me to go, I'll go.
I'm very scared.
Scared about what?
Today, all the members of Flaming Hills are around.
I fear that Zhan Feng will break off our engagement.
I will disappoint my father.
Are you just afraid that your father will get disappointed?
Yes.
What you are more afraid of is facing the truth.
I said it correctly, right?
My guess is right.
Yin Xue, what is your reason for coming to Flaming Hills?
To be your strategist.
I have nothing to strategize about.
I want to help you get a lifetime of peace and safety. Are you willing?
I'll get going now. See you in the banquet.
Teacher, why don't we just skip the banquet tonight?
No.
Just like what Ge'er said,
today is the biennial grand banquet of Flaming Hills.
Tonight, whether it is Lie Mingjing
or Zhan Feng, someone will surely make a move.
The most innocent one is Ge'er.
Brother Zhan, 19 years have passed.
Ge'er and Feng'er
have both grown up into adults.
Be at ease.
Actually,
I wasn't able to teach Zhan Feng well.
I let him hurt Ge'er.
[Memorial tablets of Zhan Feitian and An Yeming]
I will let this matter have a closure tonight.
Come. Come. Let's have one round.
Come. Come. Drink.
Jinglei, the banquet is almost half done, how come Sir is still not here?
I already sent the invitation to the Pear Courtyard. His disciple was the one who received it.
- Logically speaking, they should-- - Sir has arrived!
I thought Sir wouldn't like events like this.
That tonight, you wouldn't give me this honor.
Sect Leader, you are being too courteous.
Since the banquet has started, I'll just make myself at home.
Okay, Sir, you just do as you want.
Please. Okay. Sit.
This is mine.
Ge'er, are you really not afraid to let others see your intimate actions and cause some misunderstandings?
Or you wish that they will misunderstand?
It's enough to stay far away from you.
Really? But from what I can see, the one who is nearest to me now is you.
Where is your fiancé?
Young Master Feng is here!
Young Master Feng is here... Yes...
Indeed.
Sit beside me.
Young Master Feng, I fear that this is against the rules.
What rule have I broken?
Chief Steward Yi, don't be too serious.
It is obvious that this lady that Young Master Feng brought with him is hurt.
Young Master Feng is just letting her rest.
She was not really asked to sit with old people like us.
Tonight, while everyone is around,
and there is also Sir and two guests from Swordless City and Thunderbolt Clique,
I have a good news I want to announce to everyone.
That is...
about the wedding of my daughter.
Father.
May father continue what you're saying.
Feng'er and Ge'er have been childhood friends and have a deep relationship.
Right now, they both have grown up.
I am announcing that in the Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) next month,
the two of them will officially get married.
Congratulations, Sect Leader! Congratulations, Young Master Feng and Miss Ruge!
No.
Zhan Feng, do you know what you're saying?
I said...
no.
- Eldest Senior. - What did he say?
Do you know the consequence?
Anyone who disobeys the order of Sect Leader will have his martial arts abolished
and get kicked out of Flaming Hills.
Give me a reason.
- Because I-- - Because I don't like him.
Because I don't like him.
Father, sorry.
I indeed used to like Zhan Feng, but not anymore.
It was me who changed my heart first.
It was me who wronged him.
That's why, I can't marry him.
Ge'er...
Don't defend...your senior brother.
I'm not defending him.
I am protecting myself.
Ge'er!
Father,
I beg you.
I can't marry him.
Because the person she likes is me.
With me around, how could she still need Zhan Feng?
Brother Yi, it is me who disobeyed my father's wishes.
I am willing to accept the proper punishment.
You must not treat this matter seriously, Chief Steward Yi.
That's right, Ge'er, you're wrong.
There won't be any punishment.
It's just a daughter confiding her feelings to her father.
Telling him that you love another man.
If you'll get punished just by doing that, isn't your father to heartless?
That's right. Which child doesn't have some arguments with their parents?
No, saying that it's an argument is making it sound too grave.
At most, just some misunderstandings and careless comments.
Older brother, it's enough to just scold Eldest Miss a few words.
Don't quarrel with your daughter.
That's right, older brother. Having a child who can honestly confide her problem to you like that,
not being bashful and pretentious, is really your good fortune.
That's right.
Teacher, don't punish Ruge.
Yi Lang,
you decide this matter.
Miss is just talking to her father
and not to Sect Leader.
So, it's me who didn't understand my daughter's feelings.
I was just randomly being some matchmaker here.
Okay.
Since both of you
are unmarried yet,
and it concerns you,
then the marriage agreement between you two that was set 3 years ago, let's just forget it.
Just forget it.
But this matter must not be mentioned by anyone again!
Yes, Sect Leader!
Ge'er.
Senior Brother, I'm fine.
[Jade Cloud]
Prince, the night is deep,
rest early.
Say, if I'm not like this, would I be able to help Ruge more
in the banquet earlier?
This matter has passed.
Prince shouldn't keep blaming yourself.
- Go there to help out later. - Okay.
Eldest Miss.
It's you.
Can I come in?
Do you know why I came today?
You shouldn't have come.
It's already at the end, must you still be this cruel?
I've liked you since we were little.
Your appearance when you stand,
when you walk,
when you talk,
when you train martial arts,
when you are quiet.
I would follow you wherever you go.
What really about you did I like?
Even I have forgotten about it.
I just knew that I like you.
Have you liked me?
Have you
even liked me a little?
Weren't you bold enough to tell everyone yesterday that you don't like me?
How come you can't dare to say it now?
Say it.
Clearly tell me now all the things that you weren't able to finish saying yesterday.
Say it.
Say it!
I tried it again.
It's still bland.
Zhan Feng...
Lie Ruge,
what else do you want from me?
I came just to give this back to you.
From now on, you are just my eldest senior brother and I'm just your junior sister.
We have nothing to do with each other.
We have nothing to do with each other from now on.
- Alright, thank you sirs. - Sir Ji
Please, go in.
- World Swordless City, 1 pair of Azurite Dragon and Vermilion porcelain. - Thanks. Here. - Sir Ji.
- Thanks. Please go in. - Jiangnan's Thunderbolt Clique, one bluish-white jade with gold plating long life ruyi ornament.
Why are there so many scepters as gifts this year?
The sect leader accepted a few pairs of scepters last year,
so it appears all the great sects must have guessed that he likes them.
Ah.
Sir, please wait a moment.
Where did these maid servants come from?
Might you be Sir Ji of the Flaming Hills?
You are correct.
And you are...?
We have come at the bidding of our young sir. These are gifts from the Taste Flower Brothel.
Are you referring to Sir Xue?
That's right.
We are grateful. Please go in.
Master, he has even called his maidservants here.
What does he take our villa for?
- If this news spreads, how many will see us as a joke? - Hmph!
This is preposterous!
Sir Xue has mentioned this to me.
He just wishes to arrange an unforgettable ChongYang festival for Ge'er.
Besides, he means well.
Once ChongYang is over,
those maidservants will leave the villa.
Alright, that is the end of this matter.
We no longer need to discuss it.
ChongYang is almost here, prepare each courtyard.
All the hall leaders are here.
I hope that you will all look lively.
- Yes - Yes
Yes.
Your highness.
Sir Xue has invited guests from the Taste Flower Brothel
for the ChongYang festival.
I know.
Are you not afraid he has ill intentions?
I trust master's ability to judge one's character.
- Xuan Huang - Yes
What should I give Ge'er for ChongYang this year?
Do you have any ideas?
Er. I... have little knowledge of women's tastes.
Neither do I.
What do you want to say?
I will be bold and say this --
we can all see how you care for Eldest Miss.
Now that Zhan Feng has spurned Eldest Miss, why won't you ask for her hand in marriage?
You think I should?
Yes. Your highness should propose marriage.
This will not only maintain the Flaming Hills' reputation, but will also fulfill your years of longing.
I'm afraid my body will be a burden to Ge'er.
If you don't get better, how will you celebrate ChongYang with us?
I don't want to be ill either, XunYi.
I think staying sick is better.
Even though miss is sickly, her smiles are sincere now.
- Who would ever say it's better to be sick? - But I really am happy.
Our miss's spirits have recovered completely.
Miss, every courtyard is celebrating ChongYang festival.
Because you were ill, XunYi and I didn't have the heart to prepare for it.
Where are we going to go to—
celebrate today...
Since when did you two have to tiptoe around me when you talk to me?
Let's go to the Bamboo Courtyard and keep Senior Yu company today.
We won't go to the Maple Courtyard.
- What about the Pear Courtyard? - The Pear Courtyard?
Sir Xue sent over lots of ChongYang festival gifts. It's piled full.
Mister YouQin has also come with invitations quite a few times.
For me?
That's right! To make you happy.
Master Ji is fit to be tied.
I bet Master Feng is mad too.
Then let's go to the Pear Courtyard.

YingXue. Did you move the whole Taste Flower Brothel over here?
Ge'er. Something new.
Have a taste.
- What is this? Why does it feel like you're using me to test a medicine? - Would I dare do such a thing to the eldest daughter of the Flaming Hills?
Taste it.
- How is it? - Weird
You toss this on meat.
- What is it? - It's called MeiLiZhi, or pepper.
- Pepper? - Mm.
A product of the MoJiaTou nation. There's lot's more.
Here, let me show you.
- Ying Xue. - Hmm?
Why are you being so good to me?
Have you forgotten? We just announced to everyone the other night
that we truly like each other,
and that is why you canceled the engagement with ZhanFeng, no?
That was an excuse.
I took it seriously.
It's so hard to tell if what you say is true or false.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Sir, you are amazing.
This isn't the Flaming Hills! It's clearly the Taste Flower Brothel!
What is this?
- This... this is pretty special, what is i— - Pepper.
Pepper? What's it for?
- Try blowing on it. It's intoxicating. - Blow?
Then what happens when they're intoxicated?
Then you'll be remembered forever.
It's that amazing?
- See, won't she remember this forever? - Lei JingHong!
That's for cooking!
You've just doomed me!
XunYi DieYi, help her wash her face off, quick.
Lie—
You're dead!
LieXiang I didn't mean to!
Master.
Madam Hua especially asked me to bring this.
She said someone sent it to Taste Flower Brothel,
specifically for you.
- This is... - A drawing of Anye Luo.
Thank you very much.
Miss Dao need not be so courteous.
I hear that XunYi you are in charge of all the maidservants?
That's right.
Then you must be familiar with every maid servant's background.
That's right.
I'd like to ask you about someone, a maid servant.
Please do, Miss Dao.
She most likely grew up in LinZe.
She was sent here when she was about seven or eight years old.
Now eighteen years old.
I've heard that she should be beautiful.
What is it?
LinZe has only ever sent one batch of maid servants.
But that place came under the protection of the Swordless City, so no more were sent here.
In the last few years, some have left, some have gotten married.
There are only five left.
Why is Miss Dao looking for this person?
She is the younger sister of a close friend to Lei JingHong.
She went missing many years ago.
Young Master Lei mentioned her to me a few days ago.
So I thought I would ask.
However, would it be possible for me to meet those five people?
Alright, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch them.
It's just that Miss Dao and Young Master Lei's identities are special, so it's better not to openly say the reason.
I'll just say that you want to change the servant maids serving the guest house and wanted to choose among them.
Okay. I understand what you mean.
Xun Yi!
How come you said 5 people?
Aren't we both included too? There should be 7.
Let'ts first check the truth behind this before mentioning about us.
Let's go make the preparations.
- Come. Come. Here. Here. - Hurry. Hurry.
- Also there! Hang those on the corridor higher. - Okay.
- Hang higher a little. Be nimble. - Come.
Hurry up!
What are you all doing?!
Remove the lanterns!
This...
Eldest Senior, today is Chongyang Festival.
Starting today,
the Maple Courtyard will never celebrate Chongyang Festival again.
This...
Take them away!
- Go. Go. Hurry and go. - Yes.
All of you can go back.
Yes.
How can you be so certain that they are her?
I'm looking for an orphan. They all have parents,
that's why they are not.
An orphan?
Does Miss Die Yi have someone in mind?
I...I'm an orphan.
I also grew up here in Linze. I'm 18 years old this year.
Then were you taken away at 7 or 8 years old, by a girl with the last name Zhang?
It was a girl, but I don't remember what her last name was.
Then did you first arrive at Ping An City, then to the Flaming Hills?
Yes.
Then you joined up with a girl who's last name is Wang?
Yes.
Then do you remember the last name of your first foster parents?
Let me think about it.
The Zhou Clan.
How do you know?
Because I'm the Head Steward of the maids, of course I'll know about these things.
Mr Lie, where is my brother?
Has he been looking for me all this time?
He...he...
Hurry up and say something.
He said that his little sister has a birthmark on her left earlobe.
Miss Die Yi, do you have one?
I don't.
Could he have remembered incorrectly?
Because apart from this point, everything else was a match.
No, he keeps emphasizing this to me.
Then it can't be me.
Xun Yi, Die Yi, the banquet's about to start, aren't you getting ready?
Let's go, we couldn't help you Sir Lie, so sorry.
What did you get Xun Yi to help you with?
Help an old friend find his little sister.
Find his little sister?
Here in Flaming Hill?
No...no... I'm mistaken.
By the way, I've heard the Double Ninth Festival* is most important here at Flaming Hills. (the 9th day of the 9th lunar month festival)
Are there any chants?
Of course there is. The 6th month is 'yin' (dark), the ninth month is 'yang' (sun). On the 9th day of the 9th month, both sun and moon are both yang. That why they call it Chongyang ('repeat yang') Festival.
My father said that the ancient people will usually have fire offering during this day.
Flamings Hill will naturally place importance on this.
- It's about to start. Let's go. - Alright.
The decoration is not bad. It's so thrilling.
Liexiang, sit here.
Come, let's have a drink.
Come...
Come Liexiang.
Yin Xue
How much belongings do you have in the Taste Flower Brothel
that you are able to be spend this lavishly?
Sit first. I'll slowly tell you.
Actually Taste Flower Brothel is only a place I stay at in Louyang.
It's not for earning money.
You actually....
Actually what?
I want to ask you too many questions.
I don't know where to start.
The ask one by one. Ask all the questions you have stored inside.
- If I ask you, will you honestly answer me? - Yes.
I'll answer each question you ask me.
But before you ask a question, you must drink a bottle of this first.
How many secrets you can get out of me will depend on how much you can drink.
It's the first time I've ever seen someone urge me to drink alcohol.
Okay, I'll drink.
Apart from the Taste Flower Brothel, how many other business do you have?
In eight provinces in the North, I have silver shops, wine shops, brothels,
security escort agencies, salt village, pharmacies. These should be all.
So many family properties.
Why are you so skilled in martial arts?
I learnt it from my Master.
Answering like that, is like you didn't answered at all.
Who's martial arts isn't learnt from their master?
Alright.
Then ask that question again.
Who is your Master and what sect is your martial art's from?
Ethereality Sect.
There's really a Ethereality Sect in this world?
Ethereality Sect...
Ethereality Sect really does exists. Only the fated will be able to see it.
Can you really become a deity?
He moved half the things and people from Taste Flower Brothel to Flaming Hill just to make her happy.
Just based on that, he's much better than Zhan Feng.
Today was meant to be Zhan Feng and Miss' wedding day.
I was afraid that the circumstances will evoke mixed feelings and be unhappy.
Now looking at it, it's all thanks to Sir Yin.
Don't drink anymore.
I must drink. I still have a lot of questions to ask you.
If you keep drinking, you'll get drunk. Don't drink anymore.
I really can drink more.
Hey, wait.
I nearly forgotten about this. It's for you.
To seek luck and avoid calamity.
Then I'll tie it to my waits.
You're being like her, drinking alone.
I don't want to be in the house together with a drunk.
You found your own sister but don't acknowledge her. You have the cheek to talk to me.
I didn't. She's clearly not (my sister).
You've made up the birthmark right?
Die Yi is your Second Mother's daughter, am I right?
I don't want to lie to you so don't ask me.
I did guess it correctly.
Why don't you acknowledge her?
Can't you see how much Die Yi wanted to see her older brother?
I originally thought she knows the details, I came to persuade her.
Not to be a spy for my Second Mother in Flaming Hills.
But now seeing how she looks today, she doesn't know the details.
Then forget about acknowledging her.
That wasn't what you said to me that day.
That day, I was thinking, if she didn't know the details
I'll just take her away.
Organise a safe place for her to stay.
But now thinking about it today, my Second Mother must have her reasons for hiding this.
Besides, my Second Mother is ruthless and heartless.
I don't want to implicate Die Yi.
Do you know, a tiger doesn't eat it's own cubs?
Even if she's ruthless and heartless, she won't do anything to Die Yi.
My Second Mother is more malicious than a tiger.
Besides, I can see Ruge treats her maids quite well.
She should be safe staying at Flaming Hills.
I'll wait until I've investigate what my Second Mother is up to, it's not too late to make a decision then.
[Rosy Cloud Gazing]
Are you thinking about him?
Start anew after tonight.
Alright.
The skill from Ethereality sect, from abstract to concrete.
You have sharp eyes.
You're fooling me again.
Since you've fooled me into drinking so much wine.
You might as well turn something in reality for me.
Then what do you want?
I want...
something I've never seen before.
What is that?
Flowing Fire.
This is the most beautiful and also the most evil thing in this world.
