The Flame's Daughter
Episode 8
Who told you to trash the sesame seed cake shop?
I fear that if they stay here, they'd hinder eldest brother's plans.
It's more of you want to inform them to leave Ping'an Town as soon as possible, right?
Eldest Brother, you've misunderstood me.
I saw you grow up. You think I wouldn't know what you're thinking?
What benefits have they given you that you'd betray even your own brother?
Eldest Brother, Second Brother, listen to me explain.
I feel that we shouldn't be enemies with Flaming Hills right now.
If Lie Ruge learns that we are secretly--
Any person in this world can harm you except me.
Your loyalty to me shouldn't waver.
Say it again. How did father die?
Father then dominated the martial arts world.
It was Lie Mingjing and Zhan Feitian
who disregarded morality and jianghu rules
and beaten father on the peak of Taishan by 2 against 1,
hence, the establishment of Flaming Hills.
Because of losing the reputation of being the number one family clan in the world,
father got depressed and eventually died.
Remember all that. Always remind yourself.
Go now.
With our little sister alarming the enemies like this,
Duanlie Sect will surely not behave anymore.
Just a mealy Duanlie Sect, why should you panic?
After avoiding it for so long,
we now can't avoid it anymore.
Feng'er, go to sleep now.
Grandfather, Sister Ruge got bullied like that.
Are we not going to help them?
No need to help them.
Third Sister Dao is just making Sister Ruge leave Ping'an Town as soon as possible.
As long as she leaves Ping'an Town, everything will be fine.
Don't worry. Sleep early. It's already late.
Yes.
Go now.
Swordless City will surely make a move now.
I'm guessing that it still has to do with that matter.
You're talking about the covert collection of jianghu taxes?
This is good then.
Not only in Ping'an Town, Swodless City is collecting secret taxes from a lot of places.
The earlier that Flaming Hills knows about this, the better.
Let me ask you.
The information network of the Azure Dragon Hall of Flaming Hills is distributed throughout the whole jianghu.
How come only the collection of secret taxes from the citizens didn't reach Sect Leader Lie?
Could it be that someone had come in between and hid this from Sect Leader Lie?
That's what I fear the most.
For him to be able to hide it from Sect Leader Lie,
this person must be of high position in Flaming Hills.
If that's really case, if we expose Swordless City,
we'll be placed in a more dangerous situation.
Father-in-law, we better just hurry and leave this place.
Leave Ping'an Town. Leave Swordless City.
No way. Stop saying it. The citizens here need us.
But father-in-law, you must consider me and Xiaofeng and all the people here in Duanlei Sect.
Don't say it anymore!
What's going on?
- Leave! - Father-in-law... - Leave!
Deputy Sect Leader.
How come they started fighting?
That's right. I have never seen Sect Leader this angry.
[Receiving Special Guest Hall]
Young Master.
I fear that someone might do a sneak attack tonight. You all must be 100% vigilant.
- Go. - Yes!
[Xueji Sesame Seed Cake Shop]
I'll be a good person until the end then and help you guard this place for one more night.
You are Yu Zihan's subordinate?
Sir, please forgive me. I was ordered by Prince to secretly protect Miss Ruge.
Very good.
I also fear that some major problem might happen in the coming days.
You should put it more heart into this. It's better if you can always stay by Ruge's side.
I fear that there might be moments that I can't give her full attention.
Sir, don't worry. My Prince gave me a must-be-fulfilled order.
Your martial arts skills are good.
Just alright.
Are you kidding me?
Only less than 10 people in the world would be able to catch that attack of mine.
It's just luck.
Thank you Sir for praising me.
Who is there?!
Why are you here?
Ruge...
You were guarding here all night?
Isn't that so?
Oh, no...my neck is so painful...
It's fine. It's fine. I'll be fine after sleeping in your room.
Grandfather!
Grandfather! Grandfather!
Grandfather...
Grandfather! Grandfather!
How is the business today?
I've sold all of them.
But weirdly, a lot of strangers came.
Ruge! Something big has happened!
What's wrong?
Sect Leader Xue of Duanlei Sect is dead.
How did he die?
I also don't know. People in the streets are talking about it. I just heard it from them.
No, I must investigate this further.
Hall Leader. This is from PIng'an Town.
[Xie Houyou of Duanlei Sect was killed. Swordless City is currently investigating the matter. Hope Flaming Hills can send someone to handle this case.]
Feng'er, I'll let you handle the matter about Duanlei Sect.
Jinglei, inform Hall Leader Murong and Hall Leader Ling
to go to Ping'an Town and wait for Feng'er.
- Yes. - Yes.
Feng'er.
Don't disappoint me.
Yes.
There are things that are more complicated than how they look.
Your father...in the past...
Go now.
- Yes. - Yes.
Can we be at ease?
We must believe him.
Lang'er.
If...one day...
I pass on the sect leader position of Flaming Hills to him,
you must do your best to assist him.
If he will really do things that will harm the world,
- you don't need to consider affection and cover up for him. - Yes.
Hall Leader Zhong Li!
Die Yi? Why are you looking for me?
Hall Leader Zhong Li, I'm very worried about my Miss.
Didn't you say last time that she's in Ping'an Town? Is there any new news lately?
The news obtained by Azure Dragon Hall is top secret. I really can't say anything to you.
Hall Leader Zhong Li, I'm not asking for other things.
I'm just asking things concerning Miss.
Is that it?
A murder just happened in Ping'an Town. There must be a commotion now in there.
Is it related to Miss?
I really can't say anything anymore.
- You... - This... - Hall Leader Zhong Li.
Hall Leader Zhong Li.
Sect Leader already sent Young Master Feng to Ping'an Town to handle this matter.
Young Master Feng?
Then Miss... Hey, Zhong Li...
With such a huge matter happening in Ping'an Town, Miss doesn't have any trusted aide by her side.
No. I must not waste any time.
Young Master Feng!
In this trip, we're going to Duanlei Sect.
It is within the commanding territory of World Swordless City. Everyone must be careful!
Yes!
Eldest Senior Brother, you all can set out now.
I am not at ease to leave her in the villa.
- Let's set out! - Yes!
What's wrong?
Die Yi has left.
Where die she go?
She took a lot of Miss' favorite snacks. She must have went to Ping'an Town.
Ping'an Town? Ping'an Town right now is in chaos.
What has happened?
Duanlei Sect's leader has been killed.
Eldest senior brother was ordered to handle the situation and has just left.
Duanlei Sect's leader is a kind man. How could he have offended anyone and got killed?
Xun Yi, why are you so naive?
The grudges within jianghu is very complicated. There are a lot of things that goes beyond your imagination.
That's right. I don't understand. No one knows things better than you.
Are we really not sending anyone to chase after Die Yi?
No need. It's also good if she goes there. There would be more people taking care of junior sister.
Let's go.
Sect leader died so mysteriously and they still won't let him be buried? This...
- How can there be such a thing? Why won't allow us in? - I want to see my grandfather!
Why won't you let us in?!
That's right! Why won't you let us in?!
Why won't you let us in?!
Little brother, we must wait for the people from Flaming Hills before we can conclude this case.
This is the scene of the crime. Your grandfather's corpse is inside.
We must guard it well so we can find out the truth.
Young Master Dao, since this is a case concerning our Duanlei Sect, if there are people guarding, it should be us.
That's right. It should be us who guards him. We don't need you here.
Sect Leader Xie died in a strange manner. Maybe, the killer is within you.
How can we hand it over to you?
- How is that possible? Impossible! - You're making things up! I don't believe you!
- You're making up nonsense! - Enough. Enough.
Let's wait for the people from Flaming Hills. I believe that once Sect Leader Lie is here, he would give you all justice.
- I want to see grandfather! I want to see grandfather! - Let's go.
- I'm not going! I want to see grandfather first! - Let's go.
I'm not going! I'm not going!
Liexiang, you are not needed here. Go back.
- Are they coming or not? - Come.
Come over here! Come over here! Come!
- Sit! Sit! - Okay.
- Owner, 2 bowls of noodles. - Sure.
Have you heard about it? That matter regarding Xie Houyou must have been done by World Swordless City.
You have a point. Xie Houyou and Lie Mingjing are great friends.
He must have discovered some big secrets concerning Dao Wuxia.
Hence, this Xie Houyou became an unfortunate ghost?
- This is so cruel. - Cruel?
Thinking about how Lie Mingjing's blood brother, Zhan Feitian, died so strangely.
That is what's cruel!
Lower down your voice. There are spies from Azure Dragon Hall all over.
Have you all forgotten? The three great clans are all not good people.
Maybe, it was done by the least likely Thunderbolt Clique.
That's right. If Flaming Hills and Swordless City started fighting,
Thunderbolt Clique will just sit by and harvest the benefits.
Let's just wait to watch a good show.
Come, let's eat our noodles.
- What's going on? - You dare say bad words against my Thunderbolt Clique?
- Young Master Lei, have mercy! - Leave!
Let's go. Let's go.
Why did you just randomly bomb them?
Isn't it because they've caught me at a bad mood too?
If they still dared to say such words, I would blast them to death!
Young Master Lei, look. You've just scared all my customers.
It's fine. I have money here. I'll compensate you.
This...I dare not take.
Take it.
Thank you, Young Master Lei. Thanks.
Xiaofeng.
Grandfather...where is my grandfather?
Grandfather!
Sister, I dreamt that someone killed my grandfather.
My grandfather was very kind. How could...
It's fine now. I'm here, so don't be afraid. Come, lie down.
I'm by your side, so just sleep in ease.
Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat, okay?
Okay. Wait for me. I'll be back right away.
Eldest Miss Lie.
I was ordered by my eldest brother to take Xie Xiaofeng back to Duanlie Manor.
Sister, I don't want to! I don't want to go with them!
Can't he stay with me?
Sect Leader Xie died in a very suspicious manner.
Until this case is solved, none of the people in Duanlie Manor can leave without permission.
Why? Are you even suspecting a child?
We will not suspect anyone. The Swordless City is just tasked to guard the crime scene
and everyone in the manor. We have to wait for the conclusion to be given by Flaming Hills.

Mail pigeon?
I wrote Senior Brother Yu a letter asking about the death of Xie Houyou.
How do you think Xie Houyou died?
Could this be related to the collection of secret taxes?
It might been someone from jianghu taking revenge.
We haven't found out anything yet and Xiaofeng's grandfather already died.
[With Virtuous Cloud Spirit]
[Clean Wind and Bright Moon]
Prince, a letter.
[Clean Wind and Bright Moon]
- Xuan Huang. - I'm here.
Send a message to Dao Wuxia. Tell him
that if anyone dares to involve Ge'er into danger,
I will stop at nothing to make him pay.
Yes.
Prince.
Immediately go.
Yes.
[Xueji Sesame Seed Cake Shop]
- Who are you? - I...
I even want to ask you that.
Say it. Who are you?
I am Eldest Miss' personal maidservant, Die Yi.
Do you have any proof?
What proof? Who in Flaming Hills doesn't know me?
If you don't have any proof, you can't get in.
You are Yu Zihan's personal bodyguard.
Yes.
Die Yi, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Imperial Bodyguard Huang, she's Eldest Miss Lie's personal maidservant, Die Yi.
Miss Die Yi, sorry for earlier.
Miss, I've finally found you.
Why did you come, Die Yi?
Also, why is Imperial Bodyguard Huang also here?
Imperial Bodyguard Huang has been staying on the rooftop for a long time.
Why didn't you tell me?
She was ordered to covertly protect you. I don't dare say too much about it.
Are you really a bodyguard of Young Master Yu? How come I have never seen you?
I also haven't seen Imperial Bodyguard Huang before,
because the person by Senior Brother Yu has always been Xuan Huang.
Imperial Bodyguard Huang usually stays inside the Prince's Manor, so she never appeared n Flaming Hills.
But going back to it, the first time I saw Imperial Bodyguard Huang was also in Taste Flower Brothel, right?
Yes, Eldest Miss.
The people of Young Master Yu are really strictly impartial.
She almost hurt me earlier.
Good thing, Young Master Lei came just in time.
Sorry, Miss Die Yi.
It's fine.
Are you really fine? How about you get checked up?
I...am really fine.
That's good then.
You three ladies stay here. I'll just go out for a stroll.
Eldest Miss, I'll also go outside to guard.
Okay.
Oh, Miss, I brought your favorite sea salt nuts.
- I especially brought them for you. - Really? Let me see.
Wow! It is still you who knows me best.
So fragrant! Have some too.
- Thanks, Miss. - It's been so long since I've eaten one.
Miss, before I secretly left the villa,
I heard the guards who are packing up things
that Young Master Feng is coming here to handle a case.
- Zhan Feng? - Yes.
Father actually sent him.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Blazing Team @ Viki.com
No.
My chest feels stuffy. I kept sensing that something bad would be happening,
but I just can't say what it is.
There are things happening in jianghu everyday
and none of them have been good ones.
Let's go.
It's Young Master Feng! Isn't that Young Master Feng?!
Miss, look. That Young Master Feng is too much.
Just coming out to investigate a case and he still had to bring that woman.
Isn't this putting you in an awkward position?
- Young Master Feng. - Sir Dao.
I was ordered by my eldest brother and had been waiting to welcome you for a long time.
Eldest brother is not far from here and is waiting for all of you.
Selling sesame seed cakes!
- Freshly baked Xueji sesame seed cakes! - Selling sesame seed cakes!
- Owner, I'm buying some sesame seed cakes. - Freshly baked sesame seed cakes! - Are two pieces okay for you?
Eldest Miss? So, it's Eldest Miss! It's Eldest Miss! Let's go over there and look!
Eldest Miss!
- So, Eldest Miss, you're here. - Since all of you are here,
- come and taste my culinary skills. Die Yi, distribute them to everyone. Here. - Sure. For you.
- Thank you, Eldest Miss. Here. Thanks, Eldest Miss,. Thanks. - Yours. - Here.
- So aromatic. - Is it delicious?
- Please guide us. - Young Master Feng, no need for such words. Please.
- Eat more. - So delicious... - Enough!
- Let's go. - Zhan Feng.
Do you want to taste the sesame seed cake that I made?
Do you want me to wrap you a few more?
Let's go.
Hey, where is the money?
You gave so many sesame seed cakes and didn't collect any payment? Our shop suffered big losses today.
I forgot.
I'll punish you then. Sell a whole day of sesame seed cake today and you're not allowed to rest. Is that okay?
- Sure. The busier, the better. - Okay. Miss, I'll help you.
Young Master Feng.
Father-in-law's corpse is inside.
This receiving hall is also the scene of the crime.
Young Master Feng, please.
Did anyone come to check the corpse?
There is. The local official of Ping'an sent the coroner to check the corpse.
- What's the conclusion? - He said that it was poisoning.
Poisoning?
- You don't know martial arts? - I don't.
Aren't you Duanlie's Sect assistant sect leader?
I used to be a teacher. And then, I got married into Duanlei Sect.
Father-in-law has always wanted to teach me martial arts.
But my body isn't good. I don't have any good foundation to learn martial arts.
Deputy sect leader is just an empty name.
- Young Master Feng. - Father.
Since the crime happened until today, I've already sent people to meticulously search Duanlei Sect.
We didn't find anything unusual. The coroner from the government also checked the corpse and said that it was poisoning.
- Have you seen the corpse? - I did.
You also think that it's poisoning?
I'm sure that it's poisoning. He died from chronic slow poisoning.
He clearly was injured by someone's internal energy.
Cao Renqiu doesn't know martial arts, so he wasn't able to discern it. But Dao Wuxia surely can see it.
Hall Leader Murong and Hall Leader Ling will be arriving soon.
We will check the corpse again. I hope that it won't be different from what you said.
[Dark River]
Our two clans have always had a good relationship.
With Young Master Feng doubting me like that, it's really disappointing.
Everyone, we've came a bit late. So sorry.
Young Master Feng, we can now check the corpse.
- No need. I've checked it. It's poisoning. - Then...
- we're not checking the corpse anymore? - Sect Leader Xie and Teacher are longtime friends. He has already been checked once.
If we move him again, that's being too disrespectful to him.
Search and investigate the whole Duanlei Sect manor.
No! My grandfather wasn't poisoned to death!
His internal organs were damaged by a great martial arts master using internal energy! They got it wrong!
- Xiaofeng, don't cause trouble. Hurry and go. - Father.
Although my martial arts skills are not that good, I can distinguish it!
Young Master Feng surely will investigate this matter well. He surely will not let any bad guys off. Hurry and leave.
But with the level of his martial arts skills, he surely could see that grandfather suffered internal injuries!
Xiaofeng! Aren't you going to hurry and apologize to Young Master Feng?!
I'm not apologizing! They were the ones who clearly made a mistake in assessing the corpse!
You are a spineless coward! You don't know martial arts and are afraid of these people!
You are not my father!
Xiaofeng!
Young Master Feng, Xiaofeng just can't accept yet the sudden death of his grandfather.
Hope everyone can forgive him for his disrespectful words.
It's fine. Deputy Sect Leader Cao, condolences too.
I will take my leave.
Young Master Feng, are you staying in my World Swordless City for tonight?
No need. I will stay here.
That's good too.
Xiaofeng, what's wrong?
All of them are saying that my grandfather died from poisoning.
It isn't. I'm that it isn't like that.
They are bullying my father for not knowing martial arts and unable to see that he suffered martial arts injury.
- Didn't they check the corpse? - They did.
But everyone is saying that he died from poisoning.
Xiaofeng, say it clearly. You're saying that
someone used internal energy to kill your grandfather. Am I right?
Right. I can't be wrong!
Okay. I believe you. Let's go look for Zhan Feng.
- Yes. - You can't go.
- Why? - Zhan Feng was sent by my father. If you openly doubt Zhan Feng,
that is doubting Flaming Hills. You can't go.
- But I can go. - You're going?
I'll just tell them that I'm paying my respect to Elder Xie. They won't hinder me.
Let's not make any conclusion first. Once I see elder's corpse, everything will be clear.
- But... - Zhan Feng might not give you the chance to get near the truth.
He will.
You still believe him?
He is my eldest senior brother. Although in terms of our romantic relationship, he became muddled.
In matters like this, he surely will not make any tampering.
Zhan Feng surely knows that the assessment he makes might lead the Martial Arts Society to great chaos.
He is a smart person.
Zhan Feitian's son won't be too far off.
Zhan Feitian's son?
Zhan Feng surely will make the most accurate choice.
Miss, we are one family. Let's see who dares to hinder you.
Eldest Miss.
Other than Zhan Feng, who else is here?
Replying to Eldest Miss, Hall Leader Murong and Hall Leader Ling are both here.
- Guide me to them. - Please.
It's good that Hall Leader Murong is here. He favors you a lot.
Our priority is to see the elder's corpse. Don't incite any conflict with eldest senior brother.
Okay. I'll just pretend that I can't see that disloyal lover.
Young Master Feng, Eldest Miss is here.
Lie Ruge?
- Yes. - Where is she now?
She wants to enter the great hall and pay respect to Sect Leader Xie. She got blocked by your men--
Immediately get out of the way!
Young Master Feng already said that no one is allowed to enter.
Move aside!
Zhan Feng.
Why did junior sister suddenly come here?
Can you tell them to make way for me? I want to pay respect to Elder Xie.
- You can't. - Why?
Until a conclusion is made, no one is allowed to approach the corpse of Xie Houyou.
I can't even pay my respect?
You can't.
Little girl, don't pay your respect anymore today. Just do it some other time.
They treated me very well.
If I don't pay my respect now, I won't feel at ease.
Just come back once there is a result then.
Murong, you just like to spoil her. Look at what became of her.
Hurry and go back. Stop making mischief here.
- I'm not being mischievous. I-- - Xiaofeng!
You went out without permission again! Come over here!
Father, I went to Sister Ruge to ask for help.
- Grandfather clearly-- - Shut up!
You are saying baseless words again. Aren't you accusing Flaming Hills as doing injustice with that?
You must remember that Sect Leader Lie saved your grandfather's life before.
Enough!
Everyone listens. Starting today, no one is allowed to enter the main receiving hall.
No matter if they are people from World Swordless City or Flaming Hills, they are treated the same.
Yes, Young Master Feng.
You are not going to allow me to pay respect today no matter what, is that it?
Junior Sister, please just go back.
Young Master Feng, Miss just wanted to pay her respect. Why are you making it sound so grave?
Even if Sect Leader is here, he wouldn't stop her.
Teacher is Teacher.
Me is me.
Can you give jianghu a fair result?
Zhan Feng.
I will handle this justly.
Okay. I trust you.
Let's go.
How did it go? What was the result? Was it the same as what Xiaofeng said?
No?
Zhan Feng didn't let us in, so we didn't get the chance to see it.
It's exactly the same as what Sir said. That Zhan Feng will not let you know the truth.
Sir, since you are able to guess that, what is your next plan?
The grudges behind this case is numerous. Just with us, it will be hard to make the truth known.
Zhan Feng said that he will handle this case justly.
You still believe him?
I do.
Since you trust him, then let's just wait for Zhan Feng to give you a fair result.
Father-in-law, Xiao Feng is extremely disappointed in me.
But I still remember what you've said.
You and Sect Leader Lie are friends for so many years.
Young Master Feng surely will find the criminal
and let the truth come out.
What are you doing?!
Cao Renqiu, you plotted to obtain the sect leader position and has put poison on food for a long time.
You are very sinister. Your crime is punishable by death.
- I'm being falsely accused! - Take him away!
- Let's go. - I'm being falsely accused!
I want to see Young Master Feng!
I'm innocent...
May officer put in a lot of good words about me to Prince of Jingyuan. May Prince not worry.
As long as Eldest Miss Lie is here, I will ensure her safety.
Young Master Dao, thank you.
You're welcome. Send officer off.
Officer, this way please.
Cao Renqiu has been arrested by Zhan Feng.
He did great. This matter has already alarmed Yu Zihan. We can't delay it anymore.
We must immediately clean this mess up.
Tell our men to spread news now saying
that I've clearly investigated that Duanlei Sect had been collecting secret taxes.
The fact that their own people poisoned each other and led to an internal strife is heaven's retribution upon them.
Yes.
Feng'er, you're being soft again.
Don't hesitate. Think about your parents.
I understand.

♫ Attending endless events as jumping into the fire and losing feathers almost makes me crazy ♫
