Love of the Divine Tree Episode 17 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
Xue Ranran asked Liang Wumeng how to find the soul master who nourished her reincarnation. Liang Wumeng claimed that he was in a stage of power improvement and couldn’t sense anything yet, but he had a secret manual that could help locate the soul master, with the cost being the consumption of some cultivation. Xue Ranran immediately expressed her desire to try, wanting to repay the person who had nourished her reincarnation.
Liang Wumeng admired Xue Ranran's gratitude and placed a hand on her shoulder, patting it. Su Yishui immediately intervened from a distance, stopping him. Liang Wumeng, sensing Su Yishui’s displeasure, remarked that if Mu Qingge had not become Su Yishui's disciple, she wouldn’t have died in the Ninefold Bone Sacrifice Formation.
Back then, Mu Qingge tried to seize the spiritual spring to seal it, but when she reached the Ghost Realm, she discovered that only the Demon Child could seal the spiritual spring. So, she found another place to suppress it temporarily. Su Yishui, eager to learn more about Mu Qingge, was met with hostility from Jiu Lao Xian as well. He felt rejected, so Xue Ranran pulled him away.
Su Yishui wanted to clear Mu Qingge's name, but the sealing spell prevented him from speaking. Instead, he asked Xue Ranran her opinion on the Demon Child. Xue Ranran responded that if the Demon Child were not controlled by the spiritual spring, he would be an ordinary person. The real source of evil was the spiritual spring. Su Yishui, hearing a different perspective about himself, felt a sense of happiness. Qiu Xier noticed Xue Ranran’s feelings for Su Yishui.
As they were discussing this, they saw Bai Baishan and Gao Cang about to enter a pharmacy. Xue Ranran noticed that Bai Baishan had been in a daze recently. She mentioned she had something to attend to and left, asking Qiu Xier to accompany Gao Cang while she followed Bai Baishan. Bai Baishan arrived at a courtyard and called out "Rou'er" to a burly man, as if under some spell.
Soon, Tu Jiuyuan appeared, conversing briefly with the man, and then they left for another location. Xue Ranran followed behind and overheard Tu Jiuyuan reporting to Wei Jiu about the information she had extracted from Bai Baishan. Inside the room, Mu Ranwu was meditating on the bed, and Wei Jiu sensed someone eavesdropping. He pulled Xue Ranran into the room, and she falsely claimed that Su Yishui was outside.
Frightened, Wei Jiu quickly opened the door, allowing Xue Ranran to escape. Wei Jiu suspected that Xue Ranran was likely the other fruit of the Rebirth Tree, ordering Tu Jiuyuan to track and capture her. Mu Ranwu, hearing this, also came out. Xue Ranran was soon spotted by Tu Jiuyuan, and during the fight, she used the Broken Mountain and River technique, which Mu Ranwu recognized as Mu Qingge's.
Just as Xue Ranran was about to collapse, Su Yishui appeared and struck Tu Jiuyuan fiercely. Mu Ranwu realized that Su Yishui had been playing with her all along, and her resentment grew. She swore to take revenge on both Su Yishui and Xue Ranran. Su Yu’s spy reported that Mu Ranwu had been meeting secretly with Wei Jiu, and Su Yu felt uncomfortable.
Mu Qingge had once despised people like Wei Jiu, but now she was secretly meeting with him. The fact that she had shaken off her trackers was the biggest issue, leading Su Yu to realize that the Crown Princess was definitely not Mu Qingge. After Xue Ranran had been unconscious for four days, she heard from Qiu Xier that Bai Baishan was about to be expelled from Mount Wester.
Su Yishui had cured him of the Ghost Horn Poison, but in the process, all of his cultivation had been lost. Xue Ranran had planned to plead for Bai Baishan, but Su Yishui suddenly entered seclusion. While meditating, Su Yishui suddenly felt a surge of hostility and deduced that the spiritual spring was still within him, though suppressed by the effects of the Ice Lotus technique.
Worried about Su Yishui’s well-being, Xue Ranran struggled to get to the cave entrance and asked him a few questions. Just as she was about to collapse, Su Yishui appeared and carried her back to the room. Tu Jiuyuan's spiritual platform was damaged, and after resting for several days, he quietly recovered. Wei Jiu reprimanded Tu Jiuyuan for failing in his task.
Tu Jiuyuan felt deeply saddened and remembered how the two of them had practiced martial arts together since childhood, always caring for each other and sharing everything. However, Wei Jiu was always slightly weaker, and their old master had criticized him for being unskilled. He also gave Tu Jiuyuan half of a token and promoted him to the position of Elder of Orders.
This had been a blow to Wei Jiu, who then began to target Tu Jiuyuan in every way. Bai Baishan knelt in front of Su Yishui's door for a long time. After Xue Ranran woke up, she pleaded on Bai Baishan’s behalf, saying that while the disciple had made a mistake, the master also had some responsibility. Su Yishui usually taught martial arts but never specified what should or shouldn’t be done.
Su Yishui made a Heart Nourishing Pill, and Xue Ranran found it too bitter, so she asked Su Yishui to help her get a candied fruit and fed him one as well. When she was about to express her feelings, Su Yishui hurriedly stopped her, placed the candied fruit back in the drawer, and found a gift from Su Yu.
As for Bai Baishan, seeing his sincere attitude, Su Yishui decided to punish him by binding one of his arms and having him follow Zeng Yi to learn the ways of weapons. He would be allowed to learn magic again only after he could assemble a self-ringing bell with one hand.
Zeng Yi, noticing how much effort Su Yishui had been putting in for Xue Ranran over the past few days, sent him a bottle of Mistaken Heaven Immortal Wine to help him relax. That night, Su Yishui sat alone, drinking, and couldn’t help but think of Mu Qingge.
