♫ Thank the moon for often talking to me about its deficit at my bed ♫
♫ Thank the sandy wind for getting blown into time ♫

[The Flame's Daughter]
[Episode 36]
Emei Clique is here!
Here. Please accept these.
Yushi Clique is here!
- City Leader Dao. - Hall Leader Ling.
Deputy Sect Leader's wife.
Address me as Third Miss Dao.
Third Miss Dao?
Hall Leader Ling, the Martial Arts Society Conference this year will be held in our Swordless City.
By then, you must come.
Please go inside.
A scoundrel realizing his ambition...
Tell Sect Leader Yi that you saw Yu Zihan's Imperial Bodyguards.
Yes.
The City Leader of World Swordless City is here!
City Leader Dao, long time no see!
Long time no see...
Bi'er, do you fully believe that nothing wrong will happen?
All the members of Azure Dragon Hall have been called back.
A great net is waiting for Yi Lang.
It's you.
I'll help you stop the bleeding first.
No need... No need to save me.
Saving you is Sect Leader's instructions.
Junior Sister is back?
Yes.
I'm going to seal your acupoints first and then your major heart channels.
This place is too dangerous.
You hurry up and take her away.
Hurry up and take her away!
I, Zhongli Wulei, guarantee you that Sect Leader will surely be safe.
If anything bad happens to her,
there will be hundreds of Azure Dragon Hall members
who will die with her.
Sect Leader, the Imperial Bodyguard of Prince of Jingyuan, Huang Cong, has arrived in Miaohe Town.
- Really? - They obviously are harboring evil intentions.
I am elected by the majority to be the sect leader.
Today,
even if Yu Zihan comes back, he won't be able to do anything.
What then can a measly imperial bodyguard do?
No need to panic.
Yes.
The current sect leader of Flaming Hills,
Sect Leader Yi, is here!
He's here...
Congratulations, Sect Leader Yi!
Thank you, City Leader Dao.
The leader of our Hongfeng Sect is currently in seclusion for training. It's inconvenient for him to travel far.
He especially prepared a humble gift to congratulate Sect Leader Yi.
Sect Leader Yi, our Chishui Gang's Gang Leader had gone to attend to some matters and won't be able to come.
He especially prepared a humble gift to congratulate you.
Our gang leader from Shui Gang of Jiangnan congratulates Sect Leader Yi—
Enough!
Tell your gang leader and clique leader when you go back
that I'm accepting these congratulations.
Go back and tell your clique leader and gang leader
that the appropriate respect should still be given.
Yes...City Leader Dao.
Sect Leader!
Dark River sent people to deliver some gifts!
Dark River? It's Dark River...
I'll take our men now to meet them.
Wait.
Everyone who comes is a guest.
I won't say anything to whoever from Martial Arts Society comes here.
But if it's Dark River, no way!
Hall Leader Ling, Dark River has been gone from jianghu for many years.
Now that they reemerged and didn't do any bad things,
let's stop turning over old accounts.
When were outsiders allowed to interfere with our internal matters?
City Leader Dao, please act appropriately.
What City Leader Dao said is right.
You—
This... Sect Leader.
In the past, Dark River was an evil sect.
Thunderbolt Clique was a righteous sect.
But what about now?
Thunderbolt Clique is rotten to the very core,
while Dark River is doing merciful works everywhere.
The world has changed.
Hall Leader Ling, you must not use old eyes to look at them now.
Have you forgotten how many of brothers died in the hands of Dark River?
That great war led to Dark River getting defeated and being forced to withdraw out of jianghu.
Is that not yet enough?
Do you still want to fight for 10, 20, or even hundreds of years?
It is still Sect Leader Yi who is sensible.
Let the people from Dark River enter.
- Yi Lang! You— - Hall Leader Ling!
Please take note of your position.
Who allowed them to wait here?
Bodyguard Huang.
I'm asking you who allowed people from Dark River to wait here?
It was Sect Leader Yi.
Drive them all away.
But Sect Leader...I dare not.
Drive them away.
I will explain things to your Sect Leader.
This—
All you witches leave now!
Go back and tell your sect leader that Flaming Hills and your Dark River will never coexist!
Leave now!
Let's go in.
[Talent Gather Hall]
Bodyguard Huang has arrived!
It's Imperial Bodyguard Huang. It's the government's Bodyguard Huang...
She's an imperial bodyguard...
Imperial Bodyguard of Prince's Manor of Jingyuan, Huang Cong, greets everyone.
Say, Bodyguard Huang,
why didn't you at least inform us beforehand?
I was given imperial orders to check what's going on here
that have caused the different heroes of jianghu to gather here.
Today is my day of inauguration as the sect leader.
All that came are people that want to offer me their congratulations.
Men, hurry and give Bodyguard Huang a seat.
No need. I'll just stand.
Bodyguard Huang, if you disdain joining a grand event of our Martial Arts Society,
I'll order someone to escort you somewhere to rest first. How about it?
I don't know why Chief Steward Yi is rushing to drive me away.
This is jianghu, not the imperial court.
If Bodyguard Huang wants to stay,
you must follow our jianghu rules.
I don't know in what way have I disrespected you?
I am the sect leader.
If I tell you to sit down,
you then shouldn't be standing. Okay?
Yi Lang, on what basis are you worthy to have this sect leader position?
I heard from people in Miaohe Town discussing
that you intended to seize the sect leader position
while Sect Leader Lie is not around.
I also heard about that.
Bodyguard Huang, they are being too absurd.
I was elected by the majority.
It was upright and aboveboard.
How is that seizing the position?
Upright and aboveboard?
Do you have the Flaming Token?
The Flaming Token has disappeared with the Sect Leader.
Hand it over.
It's the Flaming Token...
- Flaming Token. - That's right...
- Why is the Flaming Token with her? Hasn't it disappeared? - Impossible!
Who gave you that? Say it!
Eldest Miss. Eldest Miss is here!
- What? Eldest Miss is still alive. - She isn't dead.
The Flaming Token is an item owned by the Old Sect Leader.
Why don't you tell me where it could come from?
Lie Ruge, didn't you—
Chief Steward Yi, seeing that I'm alive,
aren't you happy?
I grandly welcome Sect Leader for returning after surviving that dangerous ordeal.
Do you admit to your crimes?
What crimes have I done?
First crime, murdering Old Sect Leader Lie.
Second crime, framing me.
Third crime, framing up Thunderbolt Clique.
So Thunderbolt Clique got framed?
- What? Thunderbolt Clique was framed. - Right.
Sect Leader, you are the sect leader.
If you want my life, just take it away.
But if you want to taint my reputation, I will never accept that.
Do you have any evidences for these 3 crimes?
Does she have any evidence?
That's right.
I'll be the witness.
- Young Master Feng?! - Young Master Feng is here!
- It is indeed Young Master Feng! - It's indeed.
- How come he became like that? - I'll be the witness.
Yi Lang!
How come he became like that? Young Master Feng...
I understand now.
All of you... connived to frame me!
Sect Leader Lie, since this is your sect's private matter,
I won't be staying long anymore.
City Leader Dao, you cannot leave.
Sect Leader Lie, let me give you an advice.
There are some family matters that are better discussed with the doors close.
Or else, if they get spread in jianghu, it will only become a joke.
Even if it will destroy our reputation, I still must uphold justice today.
Not only am I going to punish my own people, I still must clear the name of Thunderbolt Clique.
- Thunderbolt Clique? - Thunderbolt Clique?
That's why, everyone here today must be my witnesses.
Clear Thunderbolt Clique's name?
Yes.
The whereabouts of the young master of Thunderbolt Clique is unknown.
Only so little members are now left.
Sect Leader Lie, is it really worth it to make such grand and loud actions just for them?
Who said that there are no one left in Thunderbolt Clique?!
Isn't that Young Master Lei Jinghong?!
So, he's here.
Even if I'm the only one left in Thunderbolt Clique,
I will still clear our sect's name!
I've worn down my shoes just to find you.
You actually are just here?!
Give your life to me.
- Eldest Brother! - Stop! - Let go of me!
I am going to kill him today and take revenge for my Second Younger Brother.
Jianghu has its rules.
Outside our villa, I won't care.
But in here, he is my guest.
You must not take revenge here.
Okay. I'll let him be alive for one more day.
Lei Jinghong, I don't believe that you'll be a coward and stay here forever.
Don't worry.
My grudges with you aren't just this one thing.
Today, as long as my Thunderbolt Clilque's name get s cleared,
I will slowly calculate our debts with you.
Good thing, you're still a man.
Chief Steward Yi, Zhan Feng has come out to be a witness.
What else do you want to say?
Okay.
You admit your crimes?
I am admitting them.
Do you know that what you've done is punishable by death?
I know.
Men! Arrest Yi Lang!
Wait!
I still have something to say.
That's right...
What if the person I killed is an evil person?
Do my crimes still count as being punishable by death?
Evil people?
My father is the leader of the Martial Arts Society. He is a hero that's respected and admired by everyone.
You want to slander my father to clear yourself from your crime, is that it?
No...
He is not a hero.
The person I killed is a despicable vile person.
If you continue to slander my father, I'll kill you!
The person I'm talking about is exactly your father!
Then, just to occupy the mountain villa by himself,
he personally killed his sworn brother Zhan Feitian.
I was eliminating an evil for the Martial Arts Society! What crime did I commit?!
Stop with your venomous slander!
Ask him.
Zhan Feitian is his father. Let him say it.
I don't believe that he'll go against his conscience just to help you and say that there's no such thing.
Not only Zhan Feng can bear witness to it,
go ask all the Martial Arts Society people here
if they know about this rumor or not.
They all didn't talk just to help Lie Mingjing cover up his shameful deed.
In jianghu, there really is no such thing as good
and evil. The victor is the king,
the loser is
the bandit.
Your father has very powerful martial arts skills, so he naturally could turn right and wrong upside down.
Be able to seal everyone's mouth.
So pitiful... Anye Luo tried to take revenge for his older sister in the past.
He got framed by your father.
Dark River is the righteous sect.
Your father is the one who is evil.
Shut up.
Nonsense. We must not believe him!
Oh, my...
Impossible. Indeed, impossible Right, you are saying nonsense.
Right, slandering Old Sect Leader.
- You said it wrong. - Who is this?
Who are you?
Zhan Feitian didn't die in the hands of Lie Mingjing.
He was forced to commit suicide just to save the lives of thousands of people.
While Anye Ming chose to commit suicide out of the severe pain of losing her husband.
You are not from our sect. How come you know about this so clearly?
Because it was me who helped Lie Mingjing block off Dark River that day.
I am the witness.
Ethereal Clique! That's Ethereal Clique's Token! That's right.
It's the Ethereal Clique...
Who really are you?!
I'm from Ethereal Clique.
We at Ethereal Clique cultivate to become immortals and don't ask about secular stuff.
Unless it's a great chaos in the world that can cause massive sufferings,
we usually would never interfere with that grudges of jianghu.
Everyone surely knows about this, right?
Elder, the different sects sitting here today
have all received help from Ethereal Clique. We surely will not doubt your sect.
That's good then.
Sect Leader Lie, now that the matter has been cleared up,
may you now ask your guests to leave. It's time to clean up your own backyard.
I'm sure that after hearing everything up to here, you all understand it now.
Today, as the sect leader, I'm announcing to the heroes of the world
that the tragic death of Old Sect Leader
was the doing of Yi Lang. It has nothing to do with Thunderbolt Clique!
Yi Lang?! It was done by Yi Lang. The truth has finally come out.
Really a wolf with wild ambition.
Young Master Lei,
Yi Lang's doings caused Thunderbolt Clique to suffer great losses.
I am willing to offer money and men to help your rebuild Thunderbolt Clique.
Thank you, Sect Leader.
Next, we will be dealing with private matters. Everyone, please.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Blazing Team @ Viki.com
Everyone, since Sect Leader Lie already said it,
then report everything that you saw and heard today
to your sect leaders.
Yes...
City Leader Dao!
What is it?
City Leader Dao, save me.
Chief Steward Yi, this is your sect's private matter.
I shouldn't break jianghu rules.
Close the doors.
Sect Leader...I admit to my crimes...
It was me who caused Old Sect Leader's death.
I apologize to Old Sect Leader.
I apologize to him...
You killed my father. You think I will forgive you?!
Send someone to keep watch here day and night. Once Lei Jinghong leaves Flaming Hills, kill him.
Yes.
Move! Move!
Go over there!
Never thought...it will be you who wins.
Zhongli Wulei,
do you want to know who killed Die Yi?
It was me.
Why must you kill her?
You want to hear the truth or lie?
She's just a maidservant. How is she a hindrance to you?
I hate her because of you.
We both got adopted by Sect Leader at the same time.
I am his godson but he doesn't trust me. He trusts you.
He gave you the most loyal Azure Dragon Hall. What did he give me?
20 years...what have I obtained after being his slave for 20 years?
But Sect Leader trusts you. The people around Eldest Miss like you.
On what basis?
How are you better than me?!
You are boring, inflexible, and your martial arts skills are so poor.
- That's why, you killed her? - Right.
I was the one who killed her. You said it right.
The death of a maidservant like her is of no importance to me, but she was very important to you!
Killing the woman you love made me very happy!
She was a loyal servant. She wasn't afraid of dying at all.
But when I told her this, I said,
"Do you want me to let Zhongli Wulei to be buried with you?"
Guess what she said.
She got crazy. She was shouting at me.
She said, "If you dare to harm him, I'll not let you off even if I become a ghost!"
Look at that. She wasn't even afraid to die,
but she was afraid that you'll get hurt.
What a good woman.
Because of you, she died.
No need for you to force me to kill you.
I will never do it.
Sect Leader will punish you.
Zhongli Wulei! Zhongli Wulei!
[Loving wife, Die Yi's memorial tablet]
Zhongli Wulei! Zhongli Wulei!
♫ When drinking a cup of tea, your red sleeve gives off a fragrance as the smell of a day lily ♫
Zhongli Wulei!
Can you help me with a little favor? It's really a very little flavor.
Help my Miss get some news.
Why are you not talking?
Say something.
Okay?
♫ An unforgettable pain travels a long and arduous journey to give me deep affliction ♫
Okay.
♫ Recall that crazy and musical youngster in the swirling dust ♫
♫ In the end, how to resist his low humming as a flowing river ♫
♫ It's just tasting the bitterness and sweetness of yesterday ♫
♫ Intentionally or not, I can only recall my memories in a daze ♫
♫ It's too bad that zither sounds one song reverberating in my heart ♫
♫ Eventually it turns into two grey temples, the dreams of time is endless ♫
♫ What's unchanging is that the four seasons in the mortal world is changeable ♫
♫ Between night and day, a flash of realization came. Suddenly laughing at absurdity. ♫
Sect Leader.
Hall Leader Ling, hurry and get up.
I was so blind to believe a traitor like Yi Lang. Please punish me.
It's not all your fault. Even my father believed him.
Hall Leader Ling, hurry and get up.
Old Sect Leader was benevolent and honest. Yet he got fooled by this traitor for 20 years.
Just thinking about it and I feel injustice for Old Sect Leader.
This is totally raising a beast.
It was him who killed Old Sect Leader?
Also, Young Master Feng. He actually wrongly trusted him and caused us to end up at this state.
- Sect Leader. - Hall Leader Zhongli.
Yi Lang has been locked up in the underground prison and is just awaiting your sentence.
Brother Zhongli, you really achieved great merit this time.
And your Azure Dragon Hall never disappointed Old Sect Leader's trust.
Since Sect Leader is now safe,
I should retired after achieving success too.
You're leaving?
Brother Zhongli, why are you imitating that old man Murong too?
He is already old,
but you're still young. You have a bright future ahead. What are you saying about retiring after achieving success?
May Sect Leader allow it.
Sect Leader! Don't mind him!
Uncle Murong.
I'm back.
They all said that you've already retired from jianghu.
That is because I refuse to associate with that evil Yi Lang.
But I heard that he was to be inaugurated as the sect leader today,
so I hurry back to stop him. Never thought that you were one step quicker than me.
Good. You're indeed the daughter of Lie Mingjing. You have courage and strategy.
Old Brother Murong, since you've already discovered that Yi Lang is a pretentious gentleman, why didn't you scold me to wake me up?
You are a person that will never give up unless you hit the brick wall.
If I don't let you hit the wall, will you change your mind?
Say, that's true indeed.
That hypocrite Yi Lang actually agreed to let the envoys
of Dark River in front of everyone from the Martial Arts Society.
I really wanted to kill him then.
No need to put importance to a vile person like that.
Hall Leader Zhongli, you were the one sent me off when I went down the mountain.
Now that I'm back, are you still leaving?
Yes.
The past sect was respected and admired by jianghu people.
But in the eyes of the citizens now, we are just like bandits.
Hall Leader Zhongli, will you be contented to leave now?
3 years, 3 years as the deadline.
I'll personally walk you down the mountain after 3 years.
Sect Leader.
Hall leaders, I surely will not disappoint your hopes.
Within 3 years, we surely will return to the past Flaming Hills.
Return to that number 1 martial arts clan.
Okay.
In the 5 courtyards of this mountain villa, Maple Courtyard is the coldest and cheerless.
Bamboo Courtyard is the calmest and most elegant.
And the Pear Courtyard you stayed in, no one usually lives there.
The most lively is my Plum Courtyard.
But never thought that today, it is more cold and cheerless than the Maple Courtyard.
In our short life,
if it's not you who leaves first, it's others who will.
No one can really accompany someone until the end.
Why are you being melancholic?
Just expressing my current sentiments.
Today is a grand day where we were able to take back the sect. We shouldn't be this melancholic.
Yes.
That's right. Why are you two pretending to be sad?
Let me tell you two. After coming back here, I had to pretend to be unbearably depressed for several days.
Look at me. I'm already miserable enough.
You two should stop being sorrowful.
Come, let's drink. Today, we were able to take revenge for Teacher. It's worthy to be celebrated.
Come.
Young Master!
Come, give that to me.
For the past days, Young Master Ji
and I have been assisting each other like this.
Okay already. Let's stop talking. Let's go over there to drink.
Let's go.
Come, Young Master.
I'll tell some men to make some charcoal fire so we can heat the wines.
Hey, no need. You know Flaming Fistcuffs, right? You're still afraid of cold?
Us taking the sky as our canopy and the earth as our mattress, it's happier like this.
That's right too.
It's Young Master Feng.
Senior Brother? Let him in.
Don't let him in.
What Sect Leader means is Young Master Feng has injuries, so it's not right for him to drink wine.
What I mean is I don't want him inside my courtyard.
Who was earlier who said that today is a joyous occasion for the sect?
I also don't want to be like this. But whenever I recall that he's an accomplice, I...
Maybe, it's against his will.
If he was very willing, after hearing the truth, he would have committed suicide.
Give him 7 days. Let him personally tell you the truth.
Just decide on how to deal with him after hearing it. There's no need to rush it in these 1-2 days.
Why do you keep defending him?
I'm not. It was your father.
In your heart, you father is speaking for him.
Today, in front of everyone, you blamed all the crimes to Yi Lang and didn't expose Zhan Feng.
Wasn't that because of your father too?
How did you and my father know each other?
Why do you ask?
Because you look like you know my father a lot.
If you didn't ask, I almost forgot about it. Your father and I are old acquaintances. In terms of seniority,
you should call me uncle.
I just lightly hit you, must you react like that?
Help me massage it. So painful.
Mr. Youqin! Your Teacher is dying soon!
The sect leader of Etheral Clique?
Yes. An old man. His voice was very strained.
Yin Xue's teacher... How come he came down the mountain?
I also was surprised.
Fine. They've long been forced to retire from jianghu.
Other than the dead Yin Xue, the rest are a bunch of useless garbage.
What Sect Leader is indeed right.
Oh, right. I want to find a chance to rescue Yi Lang.
Why bother?
After all, he is Old Sect Leader Lie's godson. With him around, we still have a chance to take back Flaming Hills.
The reputation of Flaming Hills has already plummeted.
They have become the laughingstock of the martial arts world. Why will we still want to have it?
When you've become the leader of the Martial Arts Society, won't their life or death depend on you?
It's all thanks to Sect Leader's blessings.
City Leader Dao.
Third-in-command.
City Leader Dao, can we talk in private?
Yes.
Third-in-command.
City Leader Dao, can you do me a favor?
Please say it.
Let Lei JIinghong go.
What? Is it very hard?
I must take revenge for the death of my little brother.
We both are people with tons of corpses beneath us.
If people will take revenge against us, I fear that thousands of lifetimes won't be enough to repay them.
I have never begged anyone.
Today, I've said my words. City Leader Dao can weigh them as you want.
Bro, I'll be leaving tomorrow.
- Where are you going? - Jiangnan.
No. Your life you be preserved here. If you leave, who will protect you?
There is no need for you guys to protect me.
- Hey. - I...
If we are brothers, then don't make it too loud. I don't want Ruge to worry.
For jianghu people, death is nothing to fear. Are you telling me to stay here forever?
Bro, I'm toasting you.
Even though you can't see it, but I'm drinking all of my flask too.
I'm sure we'll meet each other again.
- Take care. - Take care.
Lei Jinghong!
Lei JInghong, you so don't know the proper etiquette of being a guest.
You're just leaving like this and not saying farewell to the master of the house?
Just let me go.
I have no intention of asking you to stay. If I'm you, I also will want to leave.
But the night is dark and it looks like it's going to rain. I fear that you'll be in danger if you travel at night.
It's fine. It's easier to hide like this. It's safer.
We'll take our leave.
Eldest Miss.
Imperial Bodyguard Huang.
Young Master Lei, I'm going back to the Prince Manor to report on the completion of my duty. Let me escort you in passing.
Imperial Bodyguard Huang plans to escort me all the way back to Jiangnan then?
Indeed.
Say, you, it's fine if you don't care about your own safety.
Lady Feng has been following you through these dangerous situations. What benefit has she gotten?
Shouldn't you think for her sake?
It's still Eldest Miss who understands women more.
Imperial Bodyguard Huang is appointed by the emperor. Also, there will be government officials taking care of you in your journey.
With her accompanying you two, I believe you won't meet any danger along the way.
Okay. A great favor shouldn't be thanked by words. Sect Leader Lie, hope we meet again.
Please.
