[The Flame's Daughter]
[Episode 19]
[Holy Tablet of Lei Hentian]
Second Madam, I think the most important matter right now
is to find Young Master.
I've already ordered my confidant to find Jinghong.
There are some words that I've thought about for a long time and have decided to still say them.
Second Madam, it's better that you become the sect leader.
That's right... Second Madam is more suitable. That's right.
Jinghong is the son of sect leader.
Thunderbolt Clique should be passed on to him.
Young Master only wants to have fun.
He won't be able to bear such heavy burden.
If we give him Thunderbolt Clique, he will only destroy it.
Moreover, Flaming Hills and Swordless City has joined hands.
The situation of 3 great strengths by 3 great clans has already been shattered.
There will be a life and death final battle sooner or later.
That's why, the more we cannot be too haphazard in choosing the sect leader.
I beg Madam to accept the position of sect leader and reorganize Thunderbolt Clique.
Everyone, it's your tunr to talk.
Jeez... This...
I agree with what Chief Helmsman Song said.
These are unique times. We shouldn't rigidly adhere to the rule of the son inheriting his father's business.
Second Madam, please be the sect leader.
I also think that Second Madam should bear this great responsibility.
Let's just discuss this matter after the funeral.
Yes.
You two must be careful when you go down the mountain.
You must not attract anyone's attention.
Miss also sent people by Azure Dragon Hall to secretly protect you.
Thank her for me.
You must stay safe, Young Master Lei. If it's too dangerous, then hide first.
As long as you're alive, you'll get the chance to make a comeback.
Okay.
Die Yi, you also must take care of yourself.
Young Master Lei,
I always have a question I want to ask you.
- Are you really my biological-- - I know your question.
Once I take back Thunderbolt Clique from that witch,
I will naturally tell you the truth.
Okay.
She's the person that you like?
What nonsense are you saying? She's my little sister.
Little sister?
That's right.
I'll tell it to you in details as we move along.
Thunderbolt Clique is already mine.
What are you still hesitating about?
Dao Wuxia is my lackey.
Thunderbolt Clique's sect leader is my subordinate.
Now, only Flaming Hills is left.
Feng'er,
don't you want to get Flaming Hills back in behalf of your father?
You are too sentimental.
Now, in the whole sect, only Yu Zihan is supporting Lie Ruge.
I will think of a way
to let Yu Zihan leave for a while,
while you must use that chance to eliminate Lie Mingjing.
Once Lie Mingjing is dead, everyone will logically support you.
By then, Flaming Hills
will become yours.
I'm unable to do it.
You must do it.
My martial arts skills are way better than Lie Mingjing. Why then am I not doing anything?
Of course, I was leaving him to you.
I want you to personally kill him, so you can fulfill your revenge.
Do you understand?
Feng'er, personally killing the killer of one's parents is what a son
should do.
Go and meet with Prince of Jingxiang.
Let him think of a way to let Yu Zihan leave for a while.
I will abide your order.
What benefit will I get if I let him leave Flaming Hills?
Why still talk about benefits, Prince?
Aren't we on the same side already?
I have to ask Prince to offer this mystical icy cup to His Majesty as a gift.
With His Majesty's love for Yu Zihan, he surely will grant it to him.
But one this matter is fulfilled,
this item will become a material evidence.
That is the wonder of this mystical icy cup.
Once Yu Zihan suffer the spell, this cup will become an ordinary cup.
It will never leave any trace.
The material evidence is indeed gone,
but there is still you who is a witness.
Prince don't worry. The witness will surely never talk.
City Leader Dao,
you actually dared to threaten me?
I dare not.
What grudges do you and that 7th Little Brother of mine have?
You are repeatedly targeting him.
There are really none, but...
if he's around, no one can dare to touch Flaming Hills.
He is the greatest hindrance in our plan to take over Flaming Hills.
He is also the largest obstacle in Prince's goal of ascending the throne.
He indeed is a nuisance. Always blocking my path.
This crippled little brother of mine should have directly just died when he was born.
He then wouldn't have caused so many problems.
What Prince means is...
I will think of a way to let him leave Flaming Hills.
Leaving is not enough. You must give us enough time to steal the power.
- Trap him at one place, am I right? - Right.
Okay.
I promise you.
Thank you, Prince.
No need for thanks.
Go back and tell that sect leader of yours that from now on, I'm one with Dark River.
I will help him become the supreme leader of jianghu. He also should exert some efforts
when I contend for the Crown Prince position.
Prince don't worry. Once this matter is done, my World Swordless City and Flaming Hills
will surely follow your lead. This world
will sooner or later be yours.
I'll leave the jianghu matters to you then.
Owner, two orders of yangchun noodles (noodles in simple sauce).
Okay.
- Give us one order of wine! - Coming!
- Are you done? Okay. Let's go. - Let's go.
Can' you wait for me?
Isn't that Feng Huang of the Stunning Beauty Roll?
How come she degraded into just eating yangchun noodles with a wild jianghu lad?
- A phoenix that's forced to return to the greenwood is worse than a chicken. - What is Taste Flower Brothel?
Taste Flower Brothel has long closed down and its people has dispersed.
Now, there is no use being part of some Stunning Beauty Roll.
Come, let's continue drinking.
Never thought that you can really endure.
Can your identity be exposed?
You can't. What can I do then other than enduring it?
Take these money. Treat it as my payment for saving my life.
You're driving me away again.
I'm doing this for your own good.
If you're thinking for my sake, then take back your Thunderbolt Clique.
I then wouldn't need to eat yangchun noodles.
Don't waste it.
Who are you?
I am Lei Jinghong's woman.
Cheif Helmsman.
Second Madam is currently holding great power and is eliminating those people going against her.
In just a few days, there are numerous chief helmsman that have gone missing.
We also must act carefully.
Don't know where Young Master is now.
If Chief Helmsman agree to meet him, he naturally will appear.
Miss, it's better that you leave.
Could it be that you all are really planning to hand Thunderbolt Clique to that woman?
Although Second Madam has a bad personality,
she still had assisted Old Sect Leader for more than 10 years.
There is also that last wish left by Old Sect Leader.
If we don't support her, who else can we support?
But Lei Jinghong is the son of your sect leader.
Chief Helmsman!
Miss, just go back.
Here.
Your people are inferior to our Taste Flower Brothel ladies in terms of loyalty.
Just for a meeting, they had to make so many excuses.
- I'm to blame. - Blame you?
That Anye Jue has started helping my father in his tasks.
She is the second-in-command of Thunderbolt Clique in name and in fact.
While in their eyes, I'm just a fiend in human shape (great evildoer).
They most likely think that I'm just playing around, hence, unwilling to see me.
Then...are you still going tomorrow?
I will!
You are a young master without actual power. If you want to take back Thunderbolt Clique from that second-in-command,
I think your chance of success is not high.
I still am going!
Young Master is back. That's right. Why did he come back only now?
That's right. Young Master is back.
He's back.
Jeez, with such a huge matter happening,
how come he is just back right now? Really...
Father, I'm back!
[Holy Tablet of Lei Hentian]
Second Mother, long time no see.
That day when Prince Snow Robe tragically died in your hands,
After getting hurt, you left this out of panic.
Do you still remember?
What did he say? Prince Snow Robe?
What's going on?
When Thunderbolt Clique was being encircled and suppressed, you were not around.
When your father got killed, you will also not around.
And now, just because of an outsider,
you are saying disrespectful words to me in front of your father's memorial tablet.
Saying that I killed Prince Snow Robe just because of a black cloth,
you scoundrel!
This is framing a person. That's right.
How is that possible?
I just knew that you won't admit it!
Why will I admit to a crime that I didn't do?
Why then did you launch a night attack the Prince's Manor?
Attack the Prince's Manor?
You even believe Yu Zihan's false accusations?
Why then will he falsely accuse you for no reasons at all?
- Because he is a disciple of Flaming Hills. - You...
That's why, he deliberately set us up to frame us.
Now, Flaming Hills and Swordless City have joined hands.
They so want our Thunderbolt Clique to disappear from jianghu by tomorrow.
You actually even believed them?
Don't you clearly know that huge grudges between the 3 great clans?
That's right... What Second Madam said is right.
You're lying! You attacked the Prince's Manor and killed Prince Snow Robe,
those are all for Dark River!
Dark River?!
What is Second Madam's relationship with Dark River?
Chief helmsmen, don't be fooled by her.
People from Flaming Hills have already verified that she's the third-in-command of Dark River!
How is that possible? How can Second Madam be the third-in-command?
Absurd. I won't make a fuss with you today. After paying respect to your father, leave!
Are you scared now?!
Lei Jinghong, you are the young master of Thunderbolt Clique
and not a slave of Flaming Hills.
- You actually rather believed a person from Flaming Hills than one from your own sect? - You...
Young Master, it's better to just say these thing later tonight.
That's right, Young Master. We are all one family here. Stop fighting.
Don't get fooled by her!
Okay. Do you dare remove your mask and let everyone see your face?
- You really want to see it? - Yes!
Look. This is an injury caused by the Flaming Fistcuff.
It was a scar left by her encounter with Lie Ruge when she went to kill Yin Xue.
- You won't be able to deny it now, right?! - This...
- This is a scar that was left when your father got killed. - You...
I don't even clearly know who it is, but you actually knew it?
Based on what you said, then it means that it was people from Flaming Hills who killed your father then.
No! No! It's not like that!
You believe the words of Lie Ruge,
but you won't believe mine.
- You useless garbage that doesn't know to discern right from wrong! - You...!
- It's not like that. - Young Master, it's fine to be mischievous during usual days.
But in front of the funeral stage, you should be more sensible.
Young Master, just leave once you're done paying your respect.
That's right, Young Master. You better just return to the rear compartment.
- That's right... - You...
Please just go back. Stop causing trouble.
Okay. I'll wait for you in the rear compartment.
Leave.
Is it because when I leave,
you can already obtain Thunderbolt Clique?
Even if you don't leave, I also will get it.
You also saw the situation earlier.
Tell me, will you be able to convince the majority and get their support?
Was my father killed by you or not?
I don't know.
It was you. You killed him, am I right?!
Even if I say it was me, what can you do?
I'll kill you!
Are you looking for death?
Even if I die, I'll die with you!
You better kill me today.
If you don't, I surely will kill you!
I promised your father that I'll let you go,
so I will let you go.
Young Master, the Thunderbolt Clique is currently at its time of troubles. Stop causing trouble.
You don't believe me.
You all don't believe me!
Young Master, you should grow up.
She personally admitted earlier that she killed my father!
My father was killed by her!
Not only are you not doing anything to kill her, you're even helping her!
You think that I came back to compete with her for the sect leader position?
A good-for-nothing like me is not suitable to be a sect leader.
That's why, you all are helping her to drive me away. Am I right?!
Young Master, you still need experiences.
You are not worthy to call me Young Master!
This child...
Just let him be. Let's go.
Doesn't know to determine right from wrong! Helping a tyrant with his crimes!
How did it go?
What's wrong?
She still dared to hurt you despite being in front of so many people?!
I told you that it wont' be that easy.
Young Master!
Young Master, I'm willing to lead my group to follow you.
Good.
We finally were able to gain something.
It's not really that tragic. At the very least, we now have 3 small groups of pirates.
Why don't we create our own sect?
While I haven't sought vengeance, how can I create some sect?!
Madam Yan has already assumed control of Thunderbolt Clique. Now, she is already the new sect leader.
Where is Lei Jinghong?
Only three chief helmsman of small pirate groups were willing to follow Lei Jinghong.
Always look out for news about Thunderbolt Clique and Lei Jinghong for me.
Yes. I'll talk my leave then.
Miss, are you the only one now that can prove that Anye Jue is Madam Yan?
Other than Yin Xue, there is only me left.
Can we write Young Master Lei a letter, so that the people of Thunderbolt Clique will believe him?
- It's of no use. - Why?
Because Thunderbolt Clique and our Flaming Hills are completely at odds right now. They naturally won't believe us.
Not even a letter, even if Miss personally go there to confront her,
you think people of Thunderbolt Clique will choose to believe their Second Madam or the Eldest Miss of Flaming Hills?
Furthermore, I am the appointed future sect leader of my father. The more they will not believe me.
They will instead think that I'm trying to foil their plan.
Young Master Lei is so pitiful.

Grand Teacher,
there is a scholar that has reached the foot of our mountain. He was looking for our sect.
It seems that he was looking for the whereabouts of sect leader.
Grand Teacher, how much longer must sect leader sleep?
- 100 years. - 100 years?!
The poison of the Chill Spell has entered deep into his bone and blood.
It will need at least 100 years for it to completely disappear.

Miss, you're going out again? You're quite busy lately.
Compared to the past Zhan Feng, I'm still so far behind.
Although father didn't say that he's handing me the sect soon,
I still must visit the nearby branches.
- Do you need me to accompany you? - No need. I'll just go to the ones nearby. It's just very near.
- Okay then. - I'll get going now.
From now on, you'll make sesame seed cake inside, while I sell them here outside.
I'll guarantee that our business will be very good. Wasn't there a bean-curd queen before?
You can call me Sir Seasame Seed Cake.
- This is the one that you're carving yesterday? - Do you like it?
I like it. It's quite nice.
- You're quietly agreeing to it? - Agree to what?
To be my wife.
Please be merciful...
- Here. Come over and eat. - There's food!
- Eldest Miss. - Huang Cong, how come there are so many refugees here?
When the Wo Kingdom attacks, there will always be refugee.
It's just that I don't know why it's way more this time.
His Majesty has arrived!
- Greetings, Royal Father. - Rise.
Tell me about matters regarding the Wo Kingdom.
Yes, Royal Father.
Recently, the war situation with Wo Kingdom has slightly calmed down.
But our empire's army suffered huge casualties.
Several years ago, the Wo Kingdom only occupies several islands on the seas and earn a living by fishing.
But following the prevalence of the samurai practice there, the people started to become more greedy.
They started attack, conquer, and rob the coastal villages. At the start, it was just random and loose attacks.
But afterwards, it has become an organized assault and enslaving of local citizens.
With the recent years, the Wo Kingdom has become more and more savage.
Our empire has sent numerous expeditions to battle them, but
it's just fighting then stopping. The problem still hasn't been eliminated.
But didn't they just send back a victory news last month?
After the great victory, it was successive losses. We've suffered great casualties.
But before i entered the palace today,
the envoy of Wo Kingdom sent a letter.
A letter?
They expressed the desire to reconcile and not inciting war again.
That's good. If a peace reconciliation can be done to completely eliminate the trouble with the Wo Kingdom,
that is indeed a fortunate news for the coastal citizens.
Was it the Wo Kingdom who made the offer for a peace negotiation?
Right.
How many citizens can a small Wo Kingdom have? I'm sure that they also won't desire to drag this war for a long time.
Don't they just want to make use of the opportunity that they have the upper hand to earn some profitable conditions from us?
Not only benefits,
they want our empire to express some sincerity
before they will dare to undergo any peace negotiations with us.
What kind of sincerity?
Marriage alliance.
Marriage alliance?
Marriage alliance? If that can give peace to the citizens living at the coastal areas in exchange,
a marriage alliance is not a bad idea too.
I just feel pity for my daughter.
What? Is there still any problem with it?
The Wo Kingdom envoy said that their eldest princess
wants to become the Princess Consort of Prince of Jingyuan.
- Yu'er? - Yes, Royal Father.
But...
Didn't Yu'er already choose his future Princess Consort?
In my opinion, with his 7th Little Brother's personality, it would be hard to make him agree with this.
I already sent someone to deliver a letter to 7th Little Brother.
I just fear that he only has his junior sister in his heart
and no citizens of the world.
Yu'er will not be like that.
Who is inside?
It's Minister Liu, a trusted aide of Prince of Jingxian. He said that he has important matters to discuss with Prince.
It's been 6 hours already. I fear that Prince's body might not be able to take it.
The trusted aide of Prince of Jingxian? Why did he come to see Senior Brother?
It surely isn't some good matter.
Minister Liu.
Eldest Miss Lie.
There are a lot of government matters to attend to. I will take my leave now.
Minister, just do as you please.
So, you're just pretending to be asleep.
Just close your eyes and rest for a while.
I'll just call you once it's dinner time.
Okay.
If you don't release my hand, how can I leave?
Don't go.
If I don't go, how can you rest?
I want to hear your voice.
Close your eyes and listen to me talk.
Senior Brother, you've already returned to Flaming Hills.
Why don't you just leave this matter to them?
Just leave everything to Prince of Jingxian or Prince of Jingyang.
Anyway, they also loved doing them. This way, everyone will be happy.
Or else, I fear that once you are able to hold great power, there will be some people
who will feel uneasy.
Senior Brother, do you want to compete for the royal throne?
I don't want to.
That's good then.
I always fear that you'll get dragged into the war for the Crown Prince position.
It will be hard to sleep at ease if that happens.
I want to tell you something.
Say it.
I saw a lot of refugees when I went out today.
Those Wo bandits are already terrorizing our land.
There were a lot of coastal citizens that have escaped into the inner lands.
That's right. This was exactly the matter that Minister Liu and I discussed earlier.
Did the government come up with any countermeasures?
The Wo Kingdoms wants to reconcile and forever end the war.
That's good then.
Their Eldest Princess wants to have a marraige alliance
and be my Princess Consort.
Why are you not talking?
Did you agree?
Royal Father is waiting for my reply.
Really?!
But Miss, don't you and Young Master Yu have a marriage agreement?
That is fake.
Even if it's fake, it was announced in front of the imperial officials.
Young Master Yu must first clarify his relationship with you before he can agree to this marriage, right?
That's right.
I'm actually am not worried about that. I just feel that he's quite pitiful.
Even for a matter of marrying a wife, he still had to consider the empire's affairs and the safety of the citizens.
I think that the Wo Kingdom has always been casting covetous eyes on us.
At present, they even holds the upper hand. It's impossible for them to be sincere with this marriage alliance.
[Jade Reflection Pavilion]
Hurry and look for someone to deliver this letter to the palace.
Okay.
Prince of Jingyuan didn't agree?
No.
With such a good chance...
He'll be able to earn the hearts of the citizens and please His Majesty.
It won't even bring any disadvantage to him. Why then did he not agree?
Of course, it is for that Lie Ruge.
I already guessed that cripple won't agree.
Look. Since he refused it,
he then must leave Flaming Hills and personally resolve the Wo pirates problem in the coastal villages,
or else, it will be hard to suppress the grudges of the citizens.
It will also be hard to explain things to Royal Father.
Prince, you are wise.
With this move, you've bound him into a deadlock.
The people of Dark River wants Yu Zihan to leave Flaming Hills.
I then can use this opportunity to let this cripple die in the battlefield,
sacrifice his life for the empire, and his name remembered for years.
How heroic is that?!
You want to ask what my decision was?
Are you willing to let me marry for alliance?
I've thought about it all night.
Think about what?
I really think this is a conspiracy.
Tell me why you think so.
If you don't agree to the marriage alliance,
then you are accountable for any deaths of the soldiers and civilians.
But if you agree to marry,
and Wo Kingdom is at war with us agan,
then you'll be stuck in an awkward position.
That's why, looking at it from any aspects, it's disadvantageous for you.
Is this a trap set up by Prince of JIngxian?
What if it is simply just a marriage alliance?
If there is no conspiracy, will you still oppose it?
