Love of the Divine Tree Episode 24 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
Su Yishui left a letter for Xue Ranran, informing her that they would not meet again and advising his disciples to find their own paths. Xue Ranran asked Zeng Yi about Su Yishui’s whereabouts, but Zeng Yi couldn’t say clearly. He only guessed that Su Yishui was searching for a way to open the Ghost Realm, and once he found it, he might return to Mount Wester. Back in her room, Xue Ranran used Lingxiao to enter Su Yishui’s memories.
Eighteen years ago, after Mu Qingge's death, Su Yu found Su Yishui and speculated that Mu Qingge had taken on the identity of the Demon Child for Su Yishui. Wu Mi mentioned that the Reincarnation Tree could house Mu Qingge’s soul, and Su Yu sought to seize it. Su Yishui guarded the tree carefully and, in the end, personally planted it on Jueshan. Zeng Yi was also present, and Su Yishui sealed his own soul to protect it.
Xue Ranran remembered that, apart from Mu Ranwu, she herself was another Reincarnation Fruit. She speculated that in her previous life, she was Mu Qingge. Following this, she used her senses to reach Su Yishui’s secret chamber, where she discovered all the items and snacks she had given him, as well as a thick stack of Heart Cleansing Talismans. It seemed that every time Su Yishui had impure thoughts, he forced himself to copy a talisman.
One paper had the words "Mount Wester Sect Leader Mu Qingge Xue Ranran" written on it. Xue Ranran suddenly understood—she was Mu Qingge in her past life. When Zeng Yi saw Xue Ranran, she told him that she now knew her true identity. Zeng Yi, unable to hide any longer, explained that Xue Ranran’s memory loss was due to the Soul-Eating Lock within her. Su Yishui had kept this a secret in order to help solidify her spiritual platform.
Xue Ranran asked why Zeng Yi didn’t take her along to search for the key. Zeng Yi replied that Su Yishui had no way back this time and didn’t want to involve anyone else. Xue Ranran declared that whether in this life or the past, she would not allow Su Yishui to take risks alone. Liang Wumeng sent a talisman, informing Xue Ranran that the way to return to her true soul was also in the Xuantian Sect's will.
Xue Ranran then went to the Lingxi Palace, where, using Mu Qingge’s identity, she ordered the search of the books Su Yishui had reviewed. She discovered that Su Yu had taken the Xuantian Sect’s will eighteen years ago. With this new information, she decided to go to the capital city to find Su Yu, and Qiu Xier and the others volunteered to accompany her. Upon arriving in the capital, Xue Ranran used Lingxiao to locate Yu Chen and Yu Tong.
The two of them said they had gotten separated from Su Yishui shortly after arriving in the capital. They also heard that it rained every day in the city. One day, a monk was carried on a stretcher past them. Su Yishui noticed that the monk was missing his golden core and guessed that Su Yu must be scheming something.
Su Yishui secretly sought out an old servant who had worked with him before, to inquire about the formation Su Yu had set up in the palace. The servant revealed that the emperor had long since stopped managing state affairs, and Su Yu had begun acting as regent. In recent years, he had been secretly recruiting outsiders into the palace. Su Yishui decided to infiltrate the palace in the guise of one of these outsiders.
After observing the palace gate for a day, Su Yishui disguised himself as an outsider master named Bao Ming from the Immortal Hall. Yu Chen spoke about Su Yu’s situation, and Xue Ranran found it unbelievable. They all worried about Su Yishui’s circumstances, but the Eastern Palace’s guards were too tight to enter. Xue Ranran then thought of sending the Vermilion Bird into the Eastern Palace.
After the Vermilion Bird entered the palace, Xue Ranran connected to the Water Mirror and saw Mu Ranwu throwing a tantrum at a maid, her facial scar still not healed. Su Yishui, having discarded his Bao Ming disguise, entered Su Yu’s room to search for the Xuantian Sect’s will. The butler, Old Feng, who had once entered the palace with Su Yishui, noticed the change in appearance and grew suspicious, leading him to start searching.
Su Yishui indeed found the redwood box that contained the Xuantian Sect’s will, but when he opened it, it was empty. Following the lingering scent, he discovered it had been hidden in a small river in the garden. Su Yu soon entered the room, having already guessed what Su Yishui had done. Su Yishui asked Su Yu what his true purpose was.
Su Yu only answered in regard to Xue Ranran, saying that since her true identity had been revealed, she would soon restore her position as the Empress. Su Yishui accused Su Yu of merely using Mu Qingge in his past life to seize the world, and there was no real love involved. Su Yu, irritated, realized that Su Yishui had no spiritual power left and ordered his men to capture him.
But Su Yishui struck with a palm, pushing the guards away. Old Feng discovered that Su Yishui had stolen Master Liu’s magical power. Su Yu set up numerous formations in the garden, but Su Yishui still struggled to break free. Determined, he plunged into the Question Pool, hoping to find the Xuantian Sect’s will.
