Love of the Divine Tree Episode 4 Recap
> Love of the Divine Tree Recap
Mu Qingge rescued the Second Prince, and Prince Zong was deeply grateful. Su Yu, even more so, developed strong feelings for her. A young prince casually remarked that he hoped Su Yu would marry Mu Qingge soon. Embarrassed, Su Yu remained silent, while Mu Ranwu, standing nearby, showed signs of jealousy. Su Yu invited Mu Qingge to stay in the capital, but she expressed her preference for a quieter environment and mentioned that she had urgent matters to attend to.
However, Mu Ranwu was unwilling to return to Mount Wester, so Mu Qingge agreed to let her sister remain in the capital. Before leaving, she gave Mu Ranwu a whistle, saying that she could call for her in times of danger. Su Yishui was caught stealing the Demonic Core Essence-Draining Technique. Yan Liangyu subjected him to severe torture but failed to extract any information about the mastermind behind him.
That night, Mu Qingge disguised herself as Immortal Kaiyuan and approached Su Yishui, claiming that she had long been aware of his true intentions but refrained from bringing it up since he had never admitted it himself. She stated that Immortal Kaiyuan was seeking a disciple to inherit all his skills. Su Yishui immediately agreed, pricking his finger to leave a blood mark on a jade disc and swearing a soul oath.
Once everything was completed, the figure of Immortal Kaiyuan transformed into Mu Qingge, and Su Yishui realized he had been deceived. After returning to Mount Wester, several men came out to welcome them. Su Yishui recalled hearing rumors that Mu Qingge traveled everywhere in search of handsome men, and he felt utterly disgusted. Mu Qingge instructed Zeng Yi to arrange accommodations for Su Yishui.
However, Su Yishui prepared to strike again but was swiftly restrained by Mu Qingge, who sealed his true energy. Zeng Yi advised him to take medicine and soak in a medicinal bath, but Su Yishui, assuming the disciples of Mount Wester harbored ill intentions, refused to comply. That night, Mu Qingge visited his room and forcibly pushed him into the bathtub. To her surprise, she discovered that Su Yishui’s chest was burning with Corrosive Bone Fire.
It turned out that after abducting the Second Prince, Su Yishui had shown mercy and spared his life. As punishment, Ping Qinwang had ordered a sorcerer to implant the Corrosive Bone Fire into Su Yishui’s body, causing him unbearable pain. Mu Qingge extracted the Corrosive Bone Fire from him, and Su Yishui, now subdued, obediently changed into Mount Wester’s robes. He then asked Mu Qingge whether the rumors about her searching for male companions were true.
Mu Qingge explained that each of her disciples had unique talents, though their martial skills were not particularly outstanding. Moreover, she added, having an appreciation for beauty was not inherently a bad thing. Still unconvinced, Su Yishui challenged her authority. In response, Mu Qingge unsealed his power, allowing him to use any means to kill her. However, for every failed attempt, he would have to endure consequences.
As expected, Su Yishui was unable to defeat her, so he was assigned tasks such as playing the qin, feeding chickens and ducks—light chores designed to gradually temper his violent nature. From time to time, Mu Qingge took Mu Ranwu to visit their benefactor, Ye Xin. Upon hearing about Mu Qingge taking in a disciple, Ye Xin performed a divination and foresaw misfortune in her future.
He urged her to ascend to immortality as soon as possible, but Mu Qingge expressed her fondness for the mortal world. Seeing her determination, Ye Xin did not insist and instead left the courtyard to travel the world. Under Mu Qingge’s guidance, Su Yishui improved rapidly. He gradually realized that her punishments were, in fact, a method of refining his internal energy. One day, Ping Qinwang secretly summoned Su Yishui to meet him at the foot of Mount Wester.
Su Yishui informed him about how Mu Qingge had tricked him into becoming her disciple and making a soul oath. However, Ping Qinwang was unconcerned, focusing only on Su Yishui’s failure to follow the plan and reminding him that he could control his spiritual energy at any time. Just as Su Yishui was about to extract his inner core, Mu Qingge took him to a nearby town to do good deeds.
One day, they came across a little girl tied to a tree and kindly rescued her. However, they soon realized that a terrestrial immortal had set a Shadow Silk Trap on them, causing their movements to become eerily synchronized. They then discovered the terrestrial immortal’s domain. The immortal was only willing to release two people, so Mu Qingge allowed Su Yishui and the girl to leave while she stayed behind to confront the immortal.
Su Yishui felt a hint of concern, but soon after, Mu Qingge also emerged from the domain, having managed to steal a piece of Blood Jade Marrow from the immortal. However, the Shadow Silk Trap could not be undone immediately, leaving the two still moving in perfect unison.
