[The Flame's Daughter]
[Episode 25]
Liexiang,
can you tell me about the truth behind Snap Thunder now?
I know that you are just covering it up. You surely didn't harm anyone.
But I must know about the truth behind it.
There are no one left from Snap Thunder. Is the truth really that important?
It is. I made a promise once
that I must find out the truth to clear their names.
Think about Xiaofeng, what mistake has he done?
Not only did his whole family tragically got annihilated,
even he himself didn't escape this disaster.
Sorry, I can't say it.
Why?
Think about those innocent people.
Can you really endure to?
Ruge, there are people who are born without any choice.
They are destined unable to become a purely clean person. For example, me.
Even if they were not personally killed by me, I have no choice but to hide the truth.
Sorry.
Blood is thicker than water. I must defend the people around me.
Even if they have done all kinds of evil?
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your pretend illness.
♫ With this parting, the cold wind mails me a farewell song ♫
♫ You can't listen to the accepted theory about what had happened in the past ♫
♫ On an empty street, the potpourri puts off its flame ♫
♫The memory in my hand has flowed into a river ♫
♫ When the pear blossoms fall, they add this year another color ♫
♫ The tears won't go away just as the mottled spots on your clothes ♫
♫ Thousands of words are all about no separations and nonabandonment ♫
♫ But, whom can you turn to and talk about this? ♫
♫ I watch the fine snow merging into the ruthless time ♫
♫ but only receive your message, "Don't forget you," for my waiting ♫
♫ When an old dream returns, how come it's so short-lived? ♫
No matter what, not all have withered.
It means that there is still hope.
There is still hope.
Lie Ruge, things will surely turn around.
♫ for another year ♫
Old man.
Old man, it will be the Chongyang Festival in a few days.
Didn't your grandchild come over to celebrate it with you?
Sorry, Lord.
- Your hair... - I have scared you.
Oh, right. I made this today.
I brought it over to let you try it. I've already given all our neighbors. Only yours is left.
Here. Taste it.
Thanks.
If you need any help, just look for me at the mouth of the village.
My surname is Wei. My husband
is considered the village chief. He might be able to help you.
Thanks.
You're welcome. I'm going now.
Teacher! Teacher!
Teacher...
Teacher, must have left.
Youqin.
Teacher, you...
How come your hair has become white?
You have suffered.
As long as Teacher can wake up, I can endure any suffering.
This place is...
This place is a village that's' very near Huihu.
Is it Chongyang Festival soon?
Chongyang?
Oh, right, Teacher. I didn't know that you'll be waking up today.
Sit down first. I'll just ask for some rice at the village entrance and make you some delicious food.
Hey. Buy some wine.
Wine?
Yes. There surely will be wine.
- Miss. - Miss. - How come you're so happy with just picking up a withered stem?
If I've known it will be like that, I would have picked you withered stems every day.
Little girl!
- Uncle Murong. - Hall Leader Murong.
I still am more used to you calling me like that.
Hall Leader Murong.
Little Brother Zhongli, no need to be that courteous.
I believe that very soon, you will become the leader of Azure Dragon Hall again.
Did Uncle Murong especially come here today for a reason?
Let us go inside to talk then.
Okay.
Uncle Murong.
Since father left, you have never entered my Plum Courtyard again.
I'm sure that you came today because some major incidnt has happened.
Yes. There are numerous news recently that Dark River is making strange movements.
I know.
Senior Brother Yu's Chill Spell, the death of Snap Thunder's sect leader,
also, the matter of Senior Brother Yu getting trapped in East China Sea,
all were the actions of Dark River.
Those matters were done covertly.
And now, they are starting to publicly move around the realm of the Martial Arts Society.
Publicly moving around?
Aren't they the public enemy of the Martial Arts Society?
There are no true public enemy in jianghu. It depends on who wields the greatest power at a certain time.
Uncle Murong, can you say it more clearly?
In the past, after the battle between Flaming Hills and Dark River,
Flaming Hills won, so Dark River naturally became the public enemy of the Martial Arts Society.
They got spit at and chased to killed by the different major sects.
But now, jianghu is in chaos.
A lot of sects are closely monitoring the inner strifes of the 3 great families.
They all are looking for all of us to end up badly battered, so they can find an opportunity to take advantage of.
One of them is Dark River.
My father used up so much time to return peace to jianghu.
Now that my father is gone, they are back again.
I heard that Anye Luo used to reign supreme over jianghu, has great power and prestige.
He has an unrestrained personality, very unstable mood, and would kill people like cutting off hemp.
He wears blood-like colored clothes.
Uncle Murong, could this Anye Luo be related to
the death of my father?
I also suspected the same thing. That's why, I came here to see you.
Why then didn't you tell this to Zhan Feng?
Old Sect Leader's death made me unable to trust him again.
Uncle Murong, do you know how much trouble the words you said earlier can cause?
While I don't have enough evidence,
I will never mention this to anyone.
But, I also won't let Old Sect Leader die in vain.
Unlce Murong, can I boldly ask you a question?
I surely will answer you with everything that I know.
Did my father previously ask you to observe Zhan Feng?
Yes.
Regarding the case of Snap Thunder, did you discover anything?
Did father know? Or, did he suspect Zhan Feng?
Actually, Old Sect Leader knew everything.
It's just that he kept giving Young Master Feng a chance.
His affection for Young Master Feng
is not inferior to how he treats you at all.
I've warned him. I did warn him.
Uncle Murong, I'm just waiting for a chance
to prove that Lei Jinghong is innocent.
Die Yi, is that for Hall Leader Murong?
Yes.
[Bright Moon Shines on the Porch]
Hall Leader Murong, this is chyrsanthemum wine that I personally made.
Please take it back and taste it.
Okay.
You have good taste.
Sect Leader, I'll take my leave.
Uncle Murong, take care.
Miss. Why did Hall Leader Murong come to see you?
To greet me regarding the Chongyang Festival.
I don't believe it.
Miss, you are now holding secrets from us.
What nonsense are you saying?
Teacher, hurry and eat.
Teacher, you just woke up. You should only drink a little. You must not drink too much.
Teacher...
You used up all your energy to help me.
This is what a disciple should do.
Now, I only have 30% of my power left,
while you lost all of yours. If we encounter Anye Luo again, we both will surely die.
It's better to recuperate first. Let's just give the matter about Dark River some thoughts for now.
[Fine Products Shop]
Let her drink this.
Thank you, Deputy Sect Leader.
Wait!
Deputy Sect Leader, do you still have any instruction?
How is Junior Sister doing lately?
The latest prescription seems to be working.
Miss doesn't wake up at night from coughing anymore.
It's just that her spirit still seems to be down.
Even when Hall Leader Murong visited her last time, she asked him to leave just after saying a few words.
Good thing, the sect has Young...oh wrong, Deputy Sect Leader managing it.
In dealing with Thuderbolt Clique, there is also Young Master Ji. These really made Miss have less worries.
Let her just recuperate well. There's no need for her to care about these things.
Yes.
Go now. The medicine shouldn't be given cold.
He had to come twice a day and I have to cope with him.
Deputy Sect Leader still cares about Sect Leader.
Faking to be benevolent, a real evil person.
Have you forgotten who drove you out of Azure Dragon Hall?
Where are you going?
This thing is good for watering my medicinal herbs,
so you won't need to discard them every day.
Is Miss waiting for the withered stem to flower again?
How come you're not carrying anything?
Zhongli Wulei used them to water his medicinal herbs.
He is still delivering medicines?
Yes. Twice a day. Nonstop.
I feared that you'll get unhappy if you heard about it, so I didn't tell you.
Look. You can't eat anymore after hearing it.
It's all Xun Yi's fault for asking me.
How come it's my fault now?
Miss, everyone in the mountain villa now are saying that
Sect Leader and Deputy Sect Leader will be getting married.
They even said that this was part of Old Sect Leader's last will.
That he insisted for you two to be together.
Totally nonsense. He already has a wife.
That's right. They even said that you will be the 'ping' wife. (technically a concubine, but of higher ranking, only next to the main wife)
Our Miss used to be the Eldest Miss of Flaming Hills.
Now, she's the Sect Leader. What 'ping' wife?
- Miss. - Don't know how the war situation is now in East China Sea.
Miss, don't worry. With Young Master Yu worrying about you a lot,
he surely will intensify the fight against the Wo pirates
and hasten ending the war in the East China Sea, so he can return here to the mountain villa to protect you.
I don't want him to return to protect me.
I just want him to be safe.
I also am worried about Young Master Yu. Last time, he suddenly returned to pay his respect to Old Sect Leader.
If there are people who would use this to make an issue, it will surely cause a lot of dispute.
Good. He is indeed my son.
7th Little Brother is really a genius in commanding the troops. In just a month, he has already sent victory news thrice.
In less than 2 months, the trouble with the Wo pirates will be completely pacified.
The Heaven is really blessing our empire.
The coastal citizens wouldn't need to endure the chaos brought about by war anymore and getting displaced because of it.
Royal Father, have you decided on what to reward him?
Yu'er never asked a lot since he was little. I actually haven't thought of one yet.
Do you two have any good ideas?
In my opinion, you should just grant him a wedding banquet.
It's obvious that 7th Little Brother's greatest love is that Lie Ruge.
You all can see it too?
Last month, just to placate the pain of Lie Ruge for losing his father,
I heard that he especially disguised himself and traveled from East China Sea to Flaming Hills.
He also returned to the military camp that same day. He didn't mind the hardships of travel. Really so touching.
Then it means...Yu'er has left the military camp?
7th Little Brother's affection for his Teacher can really move the Heaven. Royal Father,
think about it. 7th Little Brother grew up in Flaming Hills.
His relationship with his Teacher was surely very deep. Now that Sect Leader Lie had such tragic death,
as his disciple, he travelling far to attend his funeral is just proper.
I neglected this part.
Third Little Brother, you are just too sentimental.
You just have to make everything be about romantic affections.
What 2nd Brother said is reasonable too.
2nd Brother!
Your relationship with 7th is quite deep.
The crime of a commander-in-chief leaving the military camp without permission
just got easily dispelled by you.
I know what you are thinking.
But don't forget too who is now in the battlefield fighting the Wo pirates
for you, me, and the citizens.
We are about to be victorious, yet they chose now to hide.
How long are they planning to hide?
This is a war. It's not like the jianghu duels where you can determine the victor immediately.
The Wo pirates looked down on us before.
They thought that we are useless like those good-for-nothing people before us,
hence, they directly came out and fought us.
Now that they successively lost, they started to be scared.
Of course, they won't come out anymore to die.
Will we let them waste our time like this?
We don't have any other way.
Ge'er has completely recovered from her illness.
Prince, what's wrong? What has happened?
I don't want to read it anymore. You read it.
The death of Old Sect Leader isn't the doing to Thunderbolt Clique?
Junior Sister also mentioned the same thing to me.
This letter said that jianghu now is full of bad rumors about Old Sect Leader.
Everyone in the streets and alleys, men or women, are all talking about it.
A firm and unyielding hero would get slandered like this after his death,
could it be that someone is deliberately spreading these rumors
while Old Sect Leader is gone to besmirch his name?
The spread of these rumors surely isn't just coincidental.
Let's not think about other matters first.
Only by hurrying to find the island where the Wo pirates are hiding
and catch them all,
can I leave this place to go back and help Junior Sister.
How is the progress?
There are 33 sects that support us.
19 sects support Thunderbolt Clique.
And 20 are still observing.
Good. You are very outstanding.
You are indeed my nephew.
I as the one who personally sewed this
blue gem on you.
It used to be your mother's.
My mother?
Your mother is the most wonderful woman in this world.
Luo'er came to be playful with me again?
I defeated an Wudang elder earlier.
I only used five moves.
That great?
Luo'er is really outstanding.
Does sister like me to be stronger than everyone else in this world?
Of course. Luo'er will surely be the strongest person in this world when you grow up.
Will sister marry me by then?
Silly, I'm your older sister.
So what if you're my older sister?
We're not really biologically related.
Moreover, I like you.
I want you to marry me. I want you to be with me forever.
I also like Luo'er and doesn't want to part with you.
You said that. Let this silver hairpin be the token of our agreement. Okay?
Sister, once you promise, you're not allowed to take it back.
Your mother is the 2nd-in-command of Dark River.
She was well-respected and had never suffered any hardships.
She should have been set up on high, yet she had to marry into Flaming Hills.
If not because of that, how could she have suffered that disaster and died here tragically?
You are the only family left that I worry about in this world.
I understand that you still love Lie Ruge.
No. I don't.
Remember this. That is the daughter of your parents' killer.
Kill Lie Ruge. Take Flaming Hills from her hands.
Only once you're the Sect Leader can I openly enter to pay my respect to your mother.
Let her go.
Say that again.
I will take the sect from her, but may Uncle let her off.
Young Master Ji, Thunderbolt Clique dominates the water routes.
That is there world. If we keep searching heedlessly like this,
- it would just be a waste of time. - Wait!
You're saying that I don't know how to command?
I dare not.
But I think that we can set up a trap to lure Lei Jinghong to come up the shore.
You think he is stupid like you?
I'm doing this exactly to prevent them from coming ashore. Once their food and water sources are used up,
they naturally will try to come up to shore.
I will take my leave.

Xun Yi,
are you thinking about Senior Brother Ji?
Don't worry. You are the person that Senior Brother Ji thinks about the most.
He surely will return safely.
He will come. He'll see you tomorrow above the waters.
Above the water?
That guy Lei Jinghong will really not stop until I drown.
Young Master, are you really going alone?
Or else, what?
I fear that what if--
I'm seeing him this time to convince him to meet up with Junior Sister.
Since it's to convince someone, we should show some sincerity, right?
Young Master, hold this well. Just to be sure.
If they will do any hostile acts,
I will go save you.
Even if I'm going to die,
I don't need a weak lady to protect me.
I'm not a weak lady.
It won't be embarrassing to get protected by me.
Okay. I'll get going then.
Young Master Ji.
Young Master Lei, long time no see.
Please come in.
When I was being a free loader in your mountain villa before,
I received a lot of care from Old Sect Leader and Lie Ruge.
Drink this cup of wine for them.
It counts as you accepting my gratitude in their behalf. But from now, there won't be any affection between us.
I will slowly let you pay the debts of Flaming Hills for slandering me.
Looks like Young Master Lei is a person that can separated kindness and grudges clearly.
Tell me then.
Did you come here to see me alone
because you want to have a life and death duel with me, so as to prevent a lot of casualties?
Not so.
Why then?
What did you do to Die Yi?!
Nothing.
Die Yi will only draw this if she's in danger.
Ji JInglei, I initially thought that you are a noble hero.
Never thought that you are the same as the vile Zhan Feng. You're using a weak lady to threaten me!
Young Master Lei, the truth is not that way.
This item was personally drew and given to me by Die Yi.
Why then did she draw this?
To let you believe in me and cooperate with me.
My purpose in coming today is to find out the real reason behind my Teacher's death.
Didn't you all have made a conclusion that he was killed by me?
But I don't believe it. Junior Sister also doesn't believe it.
I initially thought that everyone else other than the people in the Plum Courtyard are useless and dumb.
So, it seems there are also some who can discern things.
I think that you wouldn't dare to do such a thing at all.
You are already at this wretched state. If you still kill my Teacher,
wouldn't you be looking for your own death?
Continue talking.
That's why, I came this time to ask you to meet up with Junior Sister.
You're asking me to go over there?
What a joke!
If I go there, will that vile Zhan Feng let me off?
Young Master Lei, I'll continue to lead my men to fight with yours to confuse everyone.
Take two of your trusted aides and go to Miaohe Town that's very close to the mountain villa.
Junior Sister will go there to meet up with you.
And then?
We don't understand bombs, but you do.
You surely has a way to prove your innocence.
As the Sect Leader, Junior Sister do have the qualification to get you justice
but she won't be able to convince everyone for she has no evidence.
Which means that I'm going to risk doing a very dangerous task of meeting up with Ruge, so I can have a chance to live?
That's right.
This is a pufferfish. It has poisonous internal organs. If it wasn't properly handled,
you will then get poisoned and die. Try it.
The taste is indeed fresh and delicious!
I'm so lucky to have eaten this.
- Young Master, what did he say? - He will go.
That's good then.
No! You're not allowed to go!
Sister Feng Huang, just let me off.
As a distinguished Young Master of Thunderbolt Clique, I already lost the chance to even go for travels.
This is such an aggrieved life!
They are treating you as an enemy. Why then are you walking into their net?
I'm not walking into their net.
I'm trying to prove my innocence.
Since they have the evidences to falsely accuse you, proving your innocence will be useless.
Furthermore, it is Zhan Feng that's really heading Flaming Hills now, and not Lie Ruge.
She is just puppet without any real power. Do you understand?
I understand... I know that Lie Ruge is just a puppet right now.
But I just have to grab hold of this chance to prove my innocence.
Also, if not because she's the Sect Leader now,
I wouldn't even get the chance.
I won't let you go no matter what you say.
Feng Huang, you were not scared when I was alone and escaping for my life before.
Now that I have three branches under me, what are you afraid of?
That time, you were just alone. If you didn't fight, you would die.
Now, we're still not in the worst situation yet. Why then must you go alone to risk your life?
Do you understand?
- I understand. - Why then will you still go?
A gentleman is ready to die for his bosom friends. What Lie Ruge lost is her own father.
Despite knowing the evidences, she still chose to believe me.
That's why, I must go. I must not disappoint her trust.
I think you just want to see Dao Liexiang.
See if there is any chance to take her away from this place.
With you relationship with Swordless City and Flaming Hills now,
you two have no chances of being together in this lifetime.
Why must you mention Dao Liexiang?
What? I was right?
No. It is completely the opposite.
With my current situation, I can't admit my relationship with her.
It will cause her huge trouble.
Sister Feng Huang, believe that I have 9 lives.
I was able to survive all those dangers before.
I will still come back safely this time.
Let us put it in another way.
Although I only have 3 branches,
those are still numerous lives.
I don't want any of my men to die. Do you understand?
That's why, I must risk danger by myself to prove my innocence to ensure their safety.
- Boss, bill out. - Okay!
Customers, take care.
Boss! 3 bowls of noodles!
Sure!
Wait a minute. You all are jianghu people, right?
- Boss, you were able to guess that just by looking? - I know even if I don't look.
That great?
Not that I'm great. It's because that recently,
people coming here to eat are usually jianghu people.
Can't you see that I'm still open for business at this late?
If this was several months ago, I would have closed shop and went home at this time.
It was because I know that jianghu people like you likes to travel at night.
That's why, I close my shop at a later hour to earn a few more.
So, that's the reason.
Okay. Your noodles are here!
- Come, get your chopsticks. - Okay.
Here. Here.
Eat them while they are hot. After eating, I can then pack up and go home.
Sure.
Boss, you can cook really well!
Of course. This culinary skill is passed on in our family.
This is good.
Oh, right, are you going to Flaming Hills
or to Dark River?
Boss, there are people joining Dark River lately?
There are.
I asked those jianghu customers before.
Either they were going to Flaming Hills to join in the suppress that extremely evil Thunderbolt Clique,
or go to join Dark River and ask for a good future.
How come joining Dark River will give a good future?
Of course.
But it's also hard to make conclusions about matters in jianghu.
I frequently hear those jianghu people leisurely chatting here.
I more or less do know about some matter.
Tell them to us then.
I heard that the Old Sect Leader of Flaming Hills
is a hypocrite and a very bad person.
He tried to harm Zhan Feitian and Anye Luo. Good thing, Anye Luo was able to survive it.
He didn't get killed by him. And now, he is leading his disciples to make a comeback in jianghu.
He has done a lot of good things for the citizens and really have won the hearts of everyone.
Did a lot of good things?
The one that really brought great satisfaction to everyone
was that he killed all those people
collecting private taxes in several towns.
The citizens now need not pay any jianghu private taxes.
Tell me, won't they feel happy?
That's why, everyone is saying that this Dark River is good.
That's why, that Dark River has turned into a an upright sect
from an evil one?
They are an upright sect to begin with.
Moreover, now that Lie Mingjing is dead, the person with the strongest marital arts skills now
is Anye Luo.
That's why, jianghu people siding with Dark River is the most accurate choice.
It's the best place to go to now.
Let's go.
All have left?
They still haven't finished eating their noodles. This...
