[The Flame's Daughter]
[Episode 9]
Miss, why is Sir still not coming out to eat breakfast?
Do you want me to call him out?
Sir isn't easy to coax.
Who told your Miss to kept siding with that Zhan Feng?
Not only Zhan Feng, but two hall leaders are there too.
They can't be all conniving with each other, right?
What's the use of snapping at me? Go and say that to Sir.
It's quite noisy outside. What could have happened? Let's go see.
Young Master has orders. If any of such things happen again, you can go look for him at Swordless City!
- Dao Wuxia will surely give you justice! - So great! This is so great!
Good! Good! Let's go.
That's right. So great.
- Aunt Huang. Aunt Huang. - Ruge?
What has happened? How come everyone is this happy?
The young master of Swordless City, through the murder case at Snap Thunder,
found out that it was Cao Renqiu of Snap Thunder that has been threatening us all this time.
He was the one collecting private taxes from us.
Oh, my, no wonder he poisoned Old Village Leader Xie like that.
He was afraid that this matter would get exposed.
Really didn't expect it. He usually behaved like a gentle cultured person.
Indeed.
How come they were so sure that it was Cao Renqiu who killed old village leader?
This morning, he admitted his crimes to Flaming Hills.
Flaming Hills has been posting announcements all over the town.
There is one on every street over there.
People from Swordless City are also going around to clarify this matter.
- Our noodles! Let's go. - Okay. Okay. Let's go.
Ruge, do you really believe
the result that your first senior brother has given you?
I don't know.
I kept feeling that something is off.
Lei Jinghong, stop looking at me like that.
For the private taxes matter to be suddenly exposed like this,
it's too coincidental and it's too suitable for our taste.
It's as if they wanted to give us an answer, so as to stuff our mouth and make us leave.
That's also how I feel.
This World Swordless City is really too smart.
Whenever it's time to win the hearts of the citizens, they will be the first one to do it.
Miss, where are you going?
Go look for Zhan Feng and see the corpse of Xie Houyou.
Young Master Feng.
- Have you obtained his testimony? - I did.
At first, he won't. But afterwards, he became less lucid, so I was able to do as I wish.
Oh, right, Young Master, Eldest Miss is currently outside the entrance.
Leave first.
Yes.
Eldest Miss, Young Master Feng has orders
that without his permission, no one can enter.
I got it. I'll wait.
Eldest Miss, I apologize.
- Uncle Murong! - Ge'er.
Uncle Murong, I want to see Zhan Feng.
Can you let me say a few words with you first?
Uncle, please say it.
I heard earlier that Cao Renqiu has admitted he committed his crimes.
That he was poisoning Old Village Leader Xie's food throughout the past year.
- He admitted? - Yes.
Ge'er, let me give you some advice.
You are also from Flaming Hills.
No matter what, as a member of our sect, you cannot openly doubt Zhan Feng.
Understand?
I understand.
That's good then.
I understand,
but I'm unable to do it.
Even if the person who made this conclusion was my father,
as long as I have doubts, I will ask it.
Okay. Come with me.
Die Ye, Huang Cong.
How come Zhan Feng is taking so long to come here?
Father! Father!
Father! Let's hurry and go, father!
We can't leave. If we leave,
that's equivalent to admitting the crime.
I'm going to confront them.
Father! Father! The maidservant who serves Young Master Feng said that it was exactly him who framed us!
People from Flaming Hills will kill us!
Father, I beg you to escape just for my sake!
Let's quickly go!
Why must they treat us like this?
Could it be Old Sect Leader Lie plans to sacrifice us?
Father, stop saying so much.
Hurry up and leave.
Father! Father! Father!
Father!
Young Master Feng.
Why is junior sister looking for me?
Since you already made a conclusion that it was Cao Renqiu who killed Old Village Leader Xie,
can you show me the evidences?
You want to see the evidences?
Hall Leader Ling.
These are the signed testimonies of the people who helped Deputy Village Leader Cao commit the poisoning.
This poison is the one found within the food.
Not only Young Master Feng checked these,
even the coroner of Ping'an Town has confirmed them.
This is Cao Renqiu's testimony with his signature.
He already admitted to the crime.
Hall Leader Murong, please look at it.
This is indeed Cao Renqiu's penmanship.
It can't be wrong.
- Bring that disciple here. - Yes.
Young Master Feng.
Did anything happen to old village leader during the night of the murder?
Replying to Young Master Feng, the night before, old village leader and deputy village leader had a big fight.
The whole village knew about this.
Did they had previous fights before?
It's the first time that they had such a fierce argument.
But, for the past months, they frequently would quarrel.
What is the content?
I don't know.
- Leave now. - Yes.
Lie Ruge, what else do you want to say?
I want to see Old Village Leader Xie again and Cao Renqiu.
You won't be able to see Old Village Leader Xie again.
Didn't you say that once you found the evidences,
you would let me pay my respect to Old Village Leader Xie?
Cao Renqiu used corpse disintegrating fluid to destroy the evidence last night.
What's more hateful about it is he even secretly went to pay his respect to him this morning.
This fiend under a human face—
Take me to see Cao Renqiu.
Cao Renqiu is an important criminal.
No one is allowed to privately see him.
I can't just listen to your unilateral words and believe that he was the killer.
Unilateral words?
Little girl, even if your father is here, he wouldn't dare to doubt my character.
This case was investigated by Young Master Feng with the assistance of me and Hall Leader Murong.
Those criminals were also arrested by me.
You dare say that these were all unilateral words?
Do you think that we all will connive to frame Cao Renqiu?
What if I insist on seeing Cao Renqiu?
Don't blame me for being discourteous to you then.
The Flaming Token is here. Are you still not going to let me see him?
Sect Leader...still gave you the Flaming Token.
Seeing the Flaming Token is like seeing old sect leader.
Zhan Feng, listen to the order.
I am here.
Go and get Cao Renqiu and everyone involved.
I am going to interrogate each of them.
Yes.
Young Master Feng, Cao Renqiu has escaped.
- What did you say? - Cao Renqiu used a trick to sedate some of our men.
He has escaped.
- Aren't you going to hurry and look for him? - Yes.
Fleeing to escape punishment.
Little Junior sister, what else do you want to say?
You have Hall Leader Ling, Hall Leader Murong, and me here
There were witnesses and material evidences, but you wouldn't believe any of them.
You instead believed the words of a child.
No. You don't know what World Swordless City has been spreading outside.
I don't want to hear it.
They are spreading news that it was Snap Thunder who was collecting the private taxes.
Don't you find that weird? How come it would be this coincidental?
You just got the admission testimony and they already are blaming additional crimes on Cao Renqiu.
Lie Ruge! Is it because I broke off our engagement
that's why, you are abusing your power for private interest and intentionally embarrassing me?
- I am not! - Enough!
You currently have the Flaming Token.
I will listen to you.
I'll get the person back and let you ask him yourself.
Hurry....
Hurry.
- What happened? - Cao Renqiu flee to escape punishment.
Impossible. There are a lot of past masters from Flaming Hills here.
How could a person who doesn't know martial arts like him escape?
Did Zhan Feng go after him?
Right.
Your first senior brother deliberately set up this deceptive plot.
He wants to silence him.
Xiao Feng! Xiao Feng! Quickly get up!
Xiao Feng, hurry and leave with me!
Father, I'm not going.
You escape now. I can't drag you down.
Xiaofeng! Hurry! Hurry and climb up my back!
Xiaofeng...
I didn't kill him.
I didn't kill anyone.
- Let's go. - Young Master Feng!
- Young Master Feng! Xiaofeng! - Father!
- A murderer who flee to escape punishment
will be killed without mercy!
Father!
You killed my father! I'm going to kill you!
My father is a good person! A good person!
The person who killed your father isn't me.
It is you! It is you!
It is you who gave the order to kill my father!
- You are the murderer! - Feng'er,
- you're getting soft again. - You are the murderer!
It was you who killed my father!
I'm going to kill you! I'm going back to my father!
I'm going to my father!
Why?
How come you won't even spare a child?
Do you want him to bear such grudges and continue living?
Young Master.
Cao Renqiu committed suicide by lighting a bomb.
Some of our men also got killed by the blast.
All of you, listen.
Don't tell anyone about seeing the explosion today.
Yes.
Zhan Feng!
Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng...
Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng!
You killed Xiaofeng.
Pull out your sword.
You are not my competition.
If you don't give it a try, how will you know?
Pull out your sword!
Young Master!
- Miss... - Eldest Miss.
Miss.
Are you alright, Miss?
I lost.
Carry Xiaofeng. Let's go.
- Sir! Sir! - Sir! Sir!
Sir! Sir! Sir!
- Miss, she— - Who hurt you?
- It was Young Master Feng. - Xiaofeng, hurry and save Xiaofeng.
Okay.
What about it? Can he still be saved?
He can't be saved?!
Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng!
Xiaofeng!
How come things turn out this way? How come things turn out this way?
You wake up, Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng. Wake up, Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng.
Miss.
I'll give Ge'er treatment. You all must not come in.
I will let you sleep for a while.
Don't worry.
When did junior sister's internal energy became this strong?
Young Master Feng.
Young Master Feng. I've dismissed all the people here in Snap Thunder.
The World Swordless City will soon take over this village.
Thank you, Hall Leader Ling.
We'll return to Flaming Hills by tomorrow.
Okay.
Are you awake?
Come...
Sorry.
I shouldn't have let you go there alone.
How come I'm so useless?
You already did your best, Ge'er.
I trained the Flaming Fisticuffs for more than 10 years.
But never thought that in the end, I just looked like a useless garbage.
I initially wanted to seek revenge for Xiaofeng,
but instead ended up as a laughing stock.
♫ But how come when it comes to yearning, there is no end? ♫
How come I'm this useless?
♫ I write poems when the flower blooms ♫
Yin Xue... I don't want to be this useless.
I want to become stronger.
Yin Xue, teach me, okay?
Ge'er. Ge'er, you have me.
With me around, you don't need to become stronger.
As long as you're willing to stay by my side,
I can then help you.
No one in this world can harm you.
♫ Your constant caring words to me ♫
♫ are something that a disloyal lover wouldn't understand ♫
♫ Attending endless events as jumping into the fire and losing feathers almost makes me crazy ♫
♫ If I am a 'yes' man in this short moment, ♫
♫ I fear that I might just waste my life ♫
♫ If you don't bathe in fire, you won't become a poem ♫
Once the seal has cracks, it can't be repaired anymore.
Ge'er, I can only try my best to slow time for you.
Third Miss.
The capital sent news that the health of Prince of Jingyuan is getting worse.
I think that he's not far from death.
That crippled brought this upon himself.
Who is it?!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Blazing Team @ Viki.com
Young Master.
Why did you come here?
I personally made some snacks, so I brought them here for you to taste.
Next time, without my permission, don't move around the manor.
Yes.
Third Miss.
Thanks.
I only saw you when I was delivering snacks up to here.
Third Miss, you should be careful from now on.
Young master has been criticizing you lately.
Why did you help me?
You are considered to be my eldest brother's person.
Ge'er has helped and saved me.
You are her friend. Helping you is helping her.
Oh, right, it's Young Master Feng.
Hey, Aunt Huang, look at those lanterns.
It's very similar to the lanterns that Sir gifted us.
Yo, it is indeed.
Hey, lady, lady, may I ask what you call these lanterns?
This is called flowing fire.
Flowing fire? Such a beautiful name.
Where can you buy them?
You won't be able to buy them. These are products of magic.
Magic?
Correct. It's a magic technique of our Dark River.
Dark River?
Isn't Dark River already done by Flaming Hills—
Sir.
Did Anye Luo already come out from seclusion?
Yes.
Sect Leader heard that the head of Ethereality Clique is living in a small place like Ping'an Town.
And that the Eldest Miss Lie by your side has suffered grave injuries,
so he sent me here to deliver these wound medicines.
This is Xingnan gallbladder and jiuchi lotus,
the best injury medicines from Dark River Palace.
Sir surely knows about these more than us, the younger generation.
Why are you all not talking?
You're still small. You don't understand.
You are not older than me by that much, Young Master Lei.
Is Bodyguard Huang thinking the same thing as me?
Yes.
Is Dark River really returning?
You guys are afraid of Dark River.
What's there to be afraid about? We have Flaming Hills.
There are a lot of things that you don't know.
If I don't know, then tell me.
Even if I say it, you won't believe it.
If you are reasonable, I will believe it.
Okay then. Let me ask you.
There has always been rumors in jianghu
saying that Lie Mingjing borrowed the hands of Dark River to eliminate Zhan Feitian,
hence, obtaining the sect leader position.
Nonsense!
I just knew that you won't believe it.
Younger Sister Die Yi, don't be mad.
I shouldn't have fooled you. It's my fault.
Who is your younger sister?
Stop pretending to be close.
- You're awake? - Yes.
Here.
Are you still thinking about the incident in Snap Thunder Village?
I want to go back to Flaming Hills.
Go back to complain to your father and let him re-investigate this case.
Correct.
Xie Houyou's corpse is already gone.
That's the best evidence.
The killer is also dead. So, the dead can't testify.
Now that witnesses and hard evidences are proving that Zhan Feng is right,
what will you use to convince your father?
Moreover, everyone in jianghu now believes that it was Snap Thunder collecting private taxes,
which induced an internal strife.
It's just deserving that their sect got abolished. You want to counter this rumor?
What will you use to counter it? Just based on your mouth?
What else can I do?
Should I just treat that all of these didn't happen?
Yin Xue, you were able to think about it so thoroughly. Could it be you've already thought of a countermeasure?
Even you don't have a countermeasure.
Is World Swordless City the killer?
Why do you suspect Swordless City?
On the second day after Dao Liexing trashed our shop, Snap Thunder got into trouble.
And they even got blamed for secretly collecting private taxes.
Even if World Swordless City isn't the mastermind, they surely are still connected with it.
But you don't have any evidences.
Right. I don't have any evidence.
Ge'er, let me give you one advice. Wait.
Wait for a chance. It will come.
If you suspect Swordless City, then put that in your heart and let it grow roots.
When one day, the chance comes, be ruthless in overturning this case.
But before that, if you are not 100% sure, nor even 50% sure,
you must not alarm the enemies.
Do you want to go to Etherial Clique with me?
Go back to your sect?
Right. Just treat it as accompanying me to relax, okay?
Can people other than those from your sect go there?
Yes, you can. I am the sect leader.
- You-- - What?
Don't I look like one?
No. But how come the sect leader of Ethereal Clique will go to Luoyang and open a brothel?
To wait for you.
We have never met before Flower Taste Brothel.
Why then would you wait for me? Another of your lies.
Okay.
Since you didn't refuse me, I'll treat that as agreeing.
- Die Yi. - Miss! Miss, you're alright! You really scared me!
Why must you be scared?
Young Master Feng has very strong martial arts skills. I was worried that you'll suffer internal injuries.
I'm fine now.
With Sir around, what's there to fear?
How about it? Are you now completely disappointed with your first senior brother?
But if you still want to continue your training in jianghu, since you've seen Swordless City,
do you want to go back to JIangnan with me and see Thunderbolt Clique?
I'm going to Ethereal Clique.
Ethereal Clique? That's the mountain of the immortals that's beyond this world.
If you are not fated, you won't be able to find it even for a hundred years.
I have my ways.
But, we must first bury Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng, in Flaming Hills, anyone who is unmarried
will get cremated when they die.
This way, their soul will not get bound and can go to wherever they want to go.
This place is now a territory of World Swordless City. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to come near.
This is Xie Xiaofeng's ashes. This is home. No one can hinder me.
There are now no Snap Thunder Village in jianghu nor the Xie family. This is the territory of World Swordless City.
A lackey that's bullying others just because your master is powerful, move aside!
What are you guys trying to do? You dare to be unruly while in the territory of World Swordless City.
Dao Liexiang, you came just in time. Quickly let us in.
Third Miss Dao, this is Xie Xiaofeng's ashes. Please let us in.
You can go in, but you must first defeat me for one person to be let in.
Then, be a man of your words.
You just recovered from your injuries. You can't exert any energy.
Lie Ruge, you just had a big fight with Zhan Feng. Let me do it this time.
Dao Liexiang, I have never had a pleasurable fight with you yet. Come.
Third Miss Dao, sorry to offend you.
Tell Lie Ruge that Yu Zihan is dying soon.
How can I trust you?
It's your choice.
The skills of JIangnan's Thunderbolt Clique is just like that?
Let's have one more round!
Give me the box. I'll bury it inside. You all can leave now.
Die Yi, give it to her.
Let's go.
