Love of the Divine Tree Episode 23 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
Zeng Yi saw that Su Yishui's spiritual platform was shattered, so he explained the reason to Xue Ranran. Xue Ranran recalled how Su Yishui had quietly protected her during every moment of danger, and she made up her mind to find a way to save him. Seeing the vines on her wrist, she asked Lingxiao to help her enter Su Yishui's sea of consciousness.
Inside the sea of consciousness, Su Yishui was hanging in mid-air, nearly lifeless, bound by chains of cold ice. Xue Ranran rushed to his side but couldn't awaken him no matter what. Suddenly, she remembered that Su Yishui had nourished the reincarnation tree with his golden core, and their spiritual platforms were connected. She tried to send some of her own golden core energy to help, but Su Yishui no longer had the capacity to accept it.
In desperation, Xue Ranran kissed him, transferring her spiritual power. Slowly, Su Yishui began to regain consciousness. Meanwhile, Mu Ranwu was preparing to return to the palace when she was suddenly attacked by a soldier. After killing him with her magical power, she discovered the death token of the third prince's bodyguard. Returning to the palace in a rage, she sent someone to summon Su Yu to meet with her.
However, Su Yu only sent a messenger, Wu Mi, to say he was unwell and that, due to the injuries to the Empress's face, the wedding day would be postponed. Zhou Feihua sent a medicinal ointment to counteract the poison from magical powers, but Mu Ranwu believed that Zhou Feihua wanted to ruin her appearance and smashed the ointment in anger. Su Yu, still waiting for the Kangping Dan, ordered Wang Suizhi to find Ghost Grass.
Wang Suizhi mentioned that he had secretly found Liang Wumeng also searching for the Ghost Grass, and thus realized that Su Yu had been poisoned for a long time. The Kangping Dan was intended to detoxify him, not to save anyone else.
Mu Ranwu stopped Wang Suizhi from continuing to defame Su Yu, and instead, she believed that if she became strong enough, Su Yu would be unable to leave her side, and all the glory and wealth of this life would not be easily given away. Wang Suizhi felt deeply disappointed in the so-called "Master. "Xue Ranran had been staying by Su Yishui's sickbed.
She explained that she now understood that Lingxiao was Su Yishui's golden core, and that he had helped her win during the trial in the cleansing pool. Talking to herself about Su Yishui's feelings for her, Su Yishui immediately retorted, saying everything he did was to imitate Mu Qingge. He had secretly helped her in the cleansing pool trial only to learn and leave Mount Wester as soon as possible.
Xue Ranran was confused—Su Yishui had clearly given so much, yet whenever their feelings were mentioned, he acted so resistant. After Xue Ranran left the room, Lingquan whispered in Su Yishui's ear, suggesting that he should plant Lingquan inside himself soon, or he would face death. Su Yishui realized that his time was running out and that he needed to find the Xuantian Sect's will as soon as possible.
Seeing Xue Ranran crying alone in the courtyard, Zeng Yi approached to comfort her. Xue Ranran asked why Su Yishui protected her. Zeng Yi didn't explain but simply said that Su Yishui owed her and should repay it. Wei Jiu returned from the Black Pool and had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage again.
Tu Jiuyuan didn't come to celebrate because of a recurring illness, so Wei Jiu personally visited her, bringing the black water from the cleansing pool to help her heal. A maid analyzed that Wei Jiu had gained enough spiritual power after entering the cleansing pool and had specially brought the water back, indicating that he had been thinking about Tu Jiuyuan.
She suggested that in the future, Tu Jiuyuan could use softness to overcome Wei Jiu’s hardness, which might make things easier. Tu Jiuyuan felt that the maid's analysis was reasonable, so she changed into a more alluring outfit and brought Wei Jiu some snacks. Wei Jiu mentioned that Mu Qingge, in her reincarnation, was vulgar and ruthless, completely like a different person, while Xue Ranran had more charm.
Su Yishui had suffered a great setback and could no longer protect his disciple, so he planned to take Xue Ranran to his side. When Tu Jiuyuan heard that Wei Jiu's mind was filled with thoughts of other women, she placed the snacks down and turned to leave. Wei Jiu had no idea what was going on in a woman's heart. Wei Jiu soon sent rare medicinal materials from the Scarlet Sect to Xue Ranran along with a few love poems.
Xue Ranran had no interest in them and only wanted to stay by Su Yishui’s side. However, Su Yishui reminded her not to reveal his condition, and Xue Ranran was left feeling anxious. Xue Ranran specially prepared a delicious meal for Su Yishui. While he was performing some movements related to the White Tiger, Xue Ranran remembered that Zeng Yi had once said that using Soul Control would cause side effects, leaving animal traits for a period of time.
In a panic, she rushed over and touched Su Yishui's chin. Su Yishui, in turn, gently rubbed his head against hers. After a moment, the symptoms faded, and Su Yishui hurriedly pushed her away, warning her not to make such ambiguous gestures again. Xue Ranran wasn’t angry. She said she had already come to terms with it. Even if Su Yishui was infatuated with Mu Qingge, it wouldn’t stop her from loving him.
Since he always treated her like a rebellious disciple, she would focus on eating well and regaining her strength. Once she recovered, she would have the energy to punish him. After Xue Ranran left, Lingquan once again tempted Su Yishui.
