[Love of the Divine Tree]

[Episode 12]

How did I...

The Resentment Liquid has been neutralized.

You can leave now.

Shui,

actually, you and I

shouldn't have come to this.

What are you doing here?

You really dare to act
as if you're the Guardian of this place.

Qingge,

how are you feeling?

Yu,

Shui has already helped me
neutralize the Resentment Liquid.

You should have told me
you were coming here.

Mount Wester has been occupied
by this man for over a decade.

It's no longer the same as when you were here.

How can this man

be trusted?

Yu,

times have changed.

Why do you always

have to be so confrontational with Shui?

The matter is settled.

Just get out of here.

Young Master Yu.

Why are you here?

Ranran?

Ranran?

Ranran?

Ranran.

You know His Highness?

What?

Are you saying

Young Master Yu is the Crown Prince?

So his annual visits to the foot of Mount Absolute
were all to wait for Master Mu?

I knew it.

Clearly, His Highness

is here

for Master Mu.

This is exactly

like the rumor

I heard before.

What rumor?

Stop being so mysterious.

It's said

that Master had feelings

for the immortal master.

But Master Mu only cared
about the Prince Zong's legitimate son,

now the Crown Prince.

They were the ones truly in love.

That's why Master

turned love into hatred.

In the end,

he k*lled his master.

Master is not the kind of person

who would destroy something just
because he couldn't have it.

Stop spreading

these ridiculous rumors.

Exactly.

Believe it or not.

I'm leaving. Off to practice.

Ranran,

I saw how happy and admiring you were
when you talked about Young Master Yu before.

I was worried that you might be upset,

since he's so close with Grandmaster.

But you seem fine now.

I'm relieved.

I'm off to practice.

Yeah.

Weird.

Why is it that now when I see him,
I don't feel as happy as before?

It's...

My wishful thinking.

But I am

in love with Young Master Yu.

Young...

Your Highness, Master Mu,

please have some tea.

I apologize for concealing my identity earlier

for convenience when I was out.

From now on, you can
still call me Young Master Yu.

No need to be formal.

How do you two know each other?

Because of her winemaking skill.

You must try the wine she made.

Mount Wester doesn't entertain guests with wine.

Ranran,

look, someone has a habit of showing up uninvited.

I'm catching up with you.

What business is it of his?

But how did you end up at Mount Wester?

Some changes occurred.

Luckily, Master saved me.

You're inexperienced.

Don't let yourself be deceived.

If you're bullied,

feel free to tell me.

When did the affairs of Mount Wester

become your place to gossip?

Mount Wester, to me, is nothing
more than Qingge's old residence.

Back then, she liked staying here,
so I built the palace

to make her comfortable.

Now the Eastern Palace is her residence.

I couldn't care less
if it's Mount Easter or Mount Wester.

I'm merely reminding this young girl

to be careful in dealing with others.

Thank you for your kind intentions,
Young Master Yu, but Master is very nice.

Am I?

Master

wants me to praise him

in front of Grandmaster?

Master is not good with words

and may appear cold on the surface.

But, in fact,

he is very responsible

and is willing to help the weak.

He's kind-hearted and gentle.

Especially when it comes to those
who are most important to him,

he always gives his all

and silently dedicates himself.

Ranran,

you've only known him for a few days.

He

is the most heartless.

He turns on people without mercy.

Do you think

someone

who even k*lled his own master

has any conscience left?

Yu,

it's all in the past.

Why bring up old matters?

Qingge, you're magnanimous,

but what happened can't be changed.

He will forever

let you down.

He doesn't deserve your forgiveness.

You've had your tea. No need to see you out.

Why?

Trying to drive us away because the truth hurts?

Ranran,

you must see his true colors.

If you ask me, you should
leave this evil master immediately.

Come down the mountain with us.

It would be better to cultivate with Qingge.

You're asking for death!

Su Yishui, have you lost your mind?

Master, please calm your anger!

Su Yishui!

You dare to do it but not admit it?

Your hands are stained with Mu Qingge's blood.

Do you still expect her
to treat you as before?

Young Master Yu was just joking.

He's not a cultivator.

You'll hurt him if you continue like this.

You and I

shall never meet again,

for eternity.

Get out!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Your Highness, Master Mu's magical artifacts

are all here.

Please check if anything is missing.

What about the Ironclad White Tiger?

Bai doesn't want to come out.

All of us couldn't budge it
no matter how hard we tried.

Since its spiritual power has been damaged,
it's now the size of a tiny kitten.

Master Mu, I guess you
won't need it anymore, right?

That beast, once so affectionate towards you,

has now turned its back on you.

Never mind, let's not force it.

Yu, let's go.

Why, compared to Young Master Yu,
do I care more about

whether Master is happy or not?

Master is so upset because of Grandmaster,

and I feel sad too.

Where are you going?

Still thinking of seeing Su Yu off?

No.

They've left.

I saw that you

were very angry today,

so I wanted

to prepare some cooling tea for you.

You'd better be.

Yes.

Don't be fond of Su Yu.

He's not good enough.

How jealous is Master

because of Grandmaster?

Master's really confused by anger.

Why didn't you say this to Grandmaster?

What?

I think you clearly have something on your mind,

yet you keep your heart closed, making it
impossible for others to see through you.

If I were Grandmaster, I would
naturally think Young Master Yu is better too

and more likable.

Shut up!

No, Master, I just think

you could tell Grandmaster your...

What's wrong?

Stiffly Su,

can't you calm down?

What's triggered you this time?

Is it because of that Su Yu?

Listen.

Given your condition,
I'm afraid you won't be able

to suppress the backfire
of the Ice Lotus Technique, you know?

She's Ranran now, and all those past events

between you two have nothing
to do with her anymore.

She has her own life now.

Whether it's Su Yu or anyone else,

it's not something you can control.

Do you understand?

I'm telling you, you'd better
bury those little thoughts of yours

deep down.

If the backfire hits
and shatters your Ice Lotus core,

causing you to lose your Transcendence Realm
power, how will you seal the Spirit Spring?

Master.

Stay still.

This stubborn blockhead.

Ranran,

you've come to bring food for your master?

The weather suddenly changed.

Some hot soup would be comforting.

He can't eat anything.

Don't worry about him.

It's so cold out.

You should go back and rest.

But I said something wrong and upset Master.

I should apologize and accept punishment.

I'm worried about Master.

What do you have to apologize for?

Since it's his own problem,

he should deal with it himself.

Do you know why I didn't reunite with Master
when she returned to Mount Wester?

Master has finally gotten a chance to live again.

We, as her disciples,

shouldn't become her burden.

Right?

All right, all right.

Look, the weather has changed.

Hurry back, hurry back.

Mr. Zeng.

Let's go. Let's go.

Yu.

I went to find Shui.

Are you not happy about that?

I'm afraid the ungrateful man

would hurt you again.

Qingge, you used to protect me in the past.

But now,

I am the Crown Prince regent.

I've also recruited talented individuals
and established the Exotic Pavilion.

With me here, you don't need
to rely on anyone else.

I've already died once.

In this life,

I understand

who truly cares for me.

Qingge.

You've finally understood my feelings for you.

This time,

I can't miss the opportunity again.

I intended to propose back then,

but I was a step too late.

I hope

that popping the question now

is not too late.

Qingge,

would you be willing
to become my Crown Princess?

I've waited for this moment

for 18 years.

This famine has swept through this place.

Along the Jiangnan region,

who knows how many refugees have died.

Give it to me! This is mine!

Don't hit my sister!

Give it to me!

Stop it!

Qingge, are you all right?

Yes.

Here.

This is from the lord.

Your sister is still hungry.

Shouldn't you save some for her?

It's okay.

I don't need it.

This girl is generous.

Why don't we take her back
to the mansion to do some work?

Would you like that, Miss?

I'd rather be free

than be a sl*ve to wealth.

I will carve out a path for myself.

For your kindness of a meal,

[Young Mu Qingge]

I will surely repay you in the future.

Fine, I'll wait for you.

Qingge,

[Young Mu Ranwu]

why don't we go?

Wu,

relying on others is not a long-term solution.

Besides, we've got arms and legs.

We can completely rely on ourselves.

Don't worry.

With me here,

I'll make sure you survive.

'Rely on ourselves.' Well said.

Interesting.

I just saw that you

seem to have some potential.

Would you like to learn some real skills?

Qingge, you truly deserve the Five Spirit Roots.

You have already mastered
all of my techniques.

Today, you can graduate.

I suppose,

your name will soon be known in the martial world.

In the future,

you will surely become a legend.

There is still a long way to go.

Wu will also make progress,

right?

Wu,

you must know

that being ordinary is a blessing.

Wu.

Back then, when we were at our wits' end,
if you had used that packet of arsenic,

I would have been saved early on.

We wouldn't have had to,
in the freezing snow,

walk for half a month.

My Spirit Root was
permanently damaged by the cold,

which makes it hard for me
to improve my cultivation.

Why?

Why do you always
prioritize others' lives over mine?

Wu, there are many other paths in this world.

It's okay not to pursue cultivation.

How can it be okay?

You who pursue cultivation can live
for thousands of years and never age.

But what about me?

I am a mortal.

I will eventually grow old

and die.

You let me watch with open eyes
the endless wonders of the immortal world,

yet I get nothing.

When I grow old,

what will I do?

Don't worry.

When the time comes,
I will refine the best elixir

for you.

You taught me that relying
on others is not a long-term solution.

I will not always be beneath you.

I'm Mu Qingge and she's Mu Ranwu.

We're here to repay a debt of gratitude.

Repay a debt of gratitude?

Eight years ago,

you gave us

the kindness of a meal.

It's you.

You've actually remembered until now.

Since you're here, let's go
to Prince Zong's residence and have a seat.

- Sure. - I have...

Then let Wu go in my place.

All right.

[Prince Zong's Residence]

Do you like it here?

Yes, I do.

I have refined my Golden Core.

I can help Yu now.

Why do I...

Why is this happening?

Wu,

tell Yu

I want to help him.

What you can give him

is something I can never give.

How could he not want it?

Compared to her, you lack far
more than just magical power.

You'll never compare to her.

We are sisters!

Yet how come all the good things
in the universe are taken by you?

You have your natural talent.

I only resent that I'm not granted.

Now,

you're even taking away

the only person I love.

The worldly riches and honors

are all being handed to you.

Why?

I don't believe in fate.

I, Mu Ranwu,

will definitely take everything of yours

into my own hands.

Qingge, will you marry me?

Am I... Am I not dreaming?

Living this life again

has given me a chance

to think through many things.

I have let the past grievances all go.

In this life, I only want to stay

by the side of the most important person

without wasting this life.

I, Su Yu,

will never let you down in this life.

Once Father's health improves slightly,

I will request permission
to hold our grand wedding.

The position of Crown Princess

will finally be mine.

M-Master.

Why are you practicing at this time?

No.

I just wanted to dig up some Ice Lotus seeds
to make lotus seed soup for you.

Since you're idle,

why don't you familiarize yourself
with the techniques?

With a heart as clear as ice,

I'm fearless even if the sky collapses.

Mind and spirit as one.

What's so good about him anyway?

Him?

Young Master Yu?

Master is indeed still concerned.

It's understandable.

Grandmaster left with Young Master Yu.

Master must be very heartbroken.

And I said such things.

I should praise Master generously instead
to make him feel better.

No matter how good others are,
they can't compare to you.

You're elegant and otherworldly, like fine jade.

You're lofty and above it all...

No, that's not right.

You aim high with far-reaching ambitions.

Just like these Ice Lotus.

They may seem cold at first glance,
but upon closer inspection,

they're refreshing to the heart and mind.

They actually make one feel warm and close.

Do you really think so?

Of...

The altar is a place of utmost purity.

Only with a clear mind
and spirit can one stand there.

You will be thrown off if you lie.

But I didn't lie.

I just exaggerated a little bit.

So,

what's so good

about Su Yu after all?

Actually, you and Young Master Yu are different.

He is a little gentler.

When he smiles,

it's like a warm spring breeze.

But...

There's still a 'but,' Master!

But you may seem cold on the surface,

yet you have a warm heart.

I can't even repay Master's kindness,

yet I angered him

hundreds of times every day.

Xue Ranran, look what you've done!

Come out.

Your Highness.

From now on, you'll be responsible
for protecting Qingge.

However, given her personality,

she won't accept it.

Don't let her find out.

Yes,

I understand.

Loser!

You can only improve

[Young Wei Jiu]

to this level?

[Old Sovereign of the Scarlet Sect]

Too slow!

My Lord.

Who allowed you to enter?

Get out!

My Lord, you mustn't be too hasty.

There's a risk of cultivation deviation.

I happened to obtain a Spirit-Molding Pill.

It can help you quickly
restore your magical power.

Such a useful item,

and you don't use it yourself, Elder Tu?

Tu Jiuyuan!

You...

How dare you...

I am doing this for your own good, My Lord.

Please rest assured and focus
on your recovery, My Lord.

This Spirit-Molding Pill

is indeed beneficial, to my surprise.

Tu Jiuyuan.

Although I am in seclusion,
I still have my informants

watch your every move and pay attention
to the news about the Spirit Spring.

I advise you

not to harbor any thoughts
of usurping my position.

Elder.

You have already offered
the Spirit-Molding Pill to our lord?

It isn't in vain that you
went to great lengths to collect spirit fruits

and used your heart's blood to refine this pill.

Now that our lord has benefited
from it, he will surely

understand your loyalty
and won't keep targeting you anymore,

right?

As long as half of the Scarlet Sect Token
remains in my possession,

he will continue to see me as a thorn in his side.

But I promised the former sovereign

to safeguard the Scarlet Sect Token in my hands.

This was the former sovereign's dying wish.

Yes.

[Young Tu Jiuyuan]

Wei Jiu, you're hurt.

It's nothing.

Stop whining.

Here's a Revitalizing Pill.

Take it.

There's only one.

What about you?

When I tell you to take it, just take it quickly.

We're a team for this trial.

I'm your boss.

As long as you don't hold me back,

we'll definitely win.

From now on,

I won't hold you back anymore.

Those times from before

can never be found again.

Grandmaster's
Nine-Transformation Dark Iron Furnace.

Master actually gave it to me.

And I even made Master angry.

That was really inappropriate of me.

What?

You even dared to add fuel to the fire?

I heard that back then, Grandmaster
was the universe's top alchemist.

All she wanted was to create the best pill
in the world for her sister.

To think that Grandmaster,

a Demon's child, actually
cared so deeply for someone.

If you ask me, there are many legends

surrounding Grandmaster.

Ever since she came up the mountain,
this entire Mount Wester

has been enveloped in the scent
of Master's heartbreak.

I can hardly breathe.

When will these bitter days
finally come to an end?

It seems Master's heartbreak

is truly severe.

We need to quickly find a way
to help him recover.

Oh, right.

The Collection of Entertainment
mentions how to make dried longan.

Why don't I make some of Master's favorite food

as a form of food therapy?

I'll get going now.

Okay.

Heartbreak.

I've also thought of a good idea.

It's hard to choose, isn't it?

What are you all gathered here for?

Ranran, look, look.

Have a seat.

As the saying goes,

'There are plenty of fish in the sea.'
To get over heartbreak,

the best way

is to start a new relationship.

As long as we find a female immortal master

as beautiful as Grandmaster,
we don't need to worry about

Master not finding a satisfactory partner, do we?

Is it okay for you to do this?

Would this method go too far?

Don't worry.

I've heard that Master was originally
from a noble family,

so he's not really

a person of few desires.

Since he could like Grandmaster, he can naturally

like other female immortal masters, right?

Weird.

Even though I know it's to help Master move on,

why do I

feel somewhat

uneasy about it?

Xue Ranran, you must have practiced
too much in the Ice Lotus Pool

and become confused.

Master.

Why aren't you practicing?

Why are you fiddling
with books and paintings here?

Master, we just feel that Mount Wester

is a bit too quiet.

Why don't we invite some
immortal masters to visit here?

Master, look.

This Master Song Qingyan
from the Qingyang Sect was top-ranked

in last year's Immortal Beauty Rankings.

Master, can you tell

how old she is?

This Master Song

is best at the art of preserving youth.

So, even in her forties,
she can still remain pure and elegant,

surpassing all in beauty.

Master, don't you want to invite her

to visit Mount Wester

and learn some immortal techniques?

She has a nice name.

It suits her temperament.

But what does it have to do with me?

You may not know that in the immortal realm,

there's a saying that goes,

'Su Yishui is the most handsome among all men,

and Song Qingyan is the most beautiful
among all women.' Some matchmakers

have already paired you two together.

Master, take a closer look.

You're truly a perfect match.

If you're willing,

why don't you invite Master Song to Mount Wester

to discuss the art of preserving youth?

Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?

Since you've wasted so much breath,

you think I'm too old, huh?

No, no, no!

Master,

you're so vibrant.

You seem even younger than me.

Let's try another.

Master,

what about

Master Bi Yun from the Cangqiong Sect?

It's said

that she has a voice like a lark,

clear and melodious.

Just listening to her speak
is like being in a celestial realm,

making one's body and mind relaxed.

If you

have any worries,

having her come here

could solve them all.

So you think my voice is unpleasant

and I have worries, huh?

No, no, no!

Try another, come on.

As for Master Wen,

I don't need to say much, right?

I heard

you and she were childhood friends

and...

And you were quite compatible.

If it weren't for Grandmaster
back then, you and Master Wen

would have already become a couple.

Master, would you like
to invite her to the mountain

to reminisce about old times?

Enough!

I understand what you're all implying.

How dare you

meddle in your master's personal affairs!

Pack all of these up!

Go to the training field and practice
for two extra hours.

Yes, Master.

Oh no!

Ranran, why did you put
the communication talisman in

too?

It's all been sent out.

The peach blossoms
on the back mountain have bloomed.

Beautiful scenery needs a beauty to complement it.

I have admired you for a long time

and wish to invite you to enjoy the view together.

Immortal Master, please have some tea.

It's so lively here.

Could it be

[Master Peach Blossom]

that you're all here to appreciate the flowers?

Even Master Peach Blossom has come.

You're even more elegant and handsome
than the legends say.

No wonder people say

Su Yishui bewitches people with his looks
and causes chaos among the masses.

I have to say,

Mu Qingge

really had good taste back then.

Master doesn't like noise to begin with.

We're going to get scolded
to death by Master later.

Sovereign Su, what do you mean by this?

I even had some good feelings towards you.

I didn't expect you to be such a frivolous person.

You called us all here
to make us compete for you,

didn't you?

You're quite attractive

yet fickle-hearted, huh?

Let's go. Let's go.

No matter how handsome he is,
such a man doesn't deserve us.

Fellow immortals, come to your senses.

Let's go back and focus
on our immortal cultivation.

If you want to leave, then leave.

I've finally gotten to see Sovereign Su.

I want to stay.

I truly have no intention of toying with you all.

These unworthy disciples
misused a magical artifact,

causing this absurd situation unintentionally.

They caused this trouble themselves,
so they should apologize themselves.

Esteemed Immortal Masters, I'm truly sorry.

My master has no such intentions.

It was all my unintentional mistake,
which caused a misunderstanding.

I've wasted everyone's time.

I apologize to everyone.

And us too.

We apologize to you.

Since it was unintentional, it only proves

that fate is secretly bringing us together.

Sovereign Su,

it doesn't matter whether
there is intention at first.

Feelings

can be cultivated.

As for the others,
if you want to leave, then leave.

I will stay alone

to compete in beauty

with the peach blossoms of Mount Wester.

Immortal Master, please return as well.

I have cultivated the Unfeeling Mantra.

I have no such intentions.

Could it be that the rumor about Sovereign Su
developing feelings for Mu Qingge over time

and still unable to forget her is true?

See the guests out.

Immortal Master,

please.

My Peach Blossom Sect specializes
in teaching people to pursue love.

We never fail in matchmaking.

Your disciple has humiliated me today

and damaged my sect's reputation.

With a few words of apology,
you think you can send me away?

My disciple has already apologized.

If you're still unsatisfied, direct it at me.

Su Yishui rarely

showed such protective feelings so openly.

This female disciple...

I see.

Sovereign Su's attitude

towards this female disciple is
that the more harshly you scold her verbally,

the more you protect her in your heart.

All right.

Since it was a misunderstanding, let's leave now.

Don't delay any further.

Since Master Wen has spoken,

I won't linger any longer either.

Farewell.

[Carefree Pavilion]

I'm not giving up so easily.

What Unfeeling Mantra?

My Peach Blossom Intoxication

will surely break it.

Anyone who falls under my Peach
Blossom Intoxication will fall in love

with the first person he sees uncontrollably.

Oh no.

Yu Chen,

help me change my clothes.

Master,

let me help you.

Xue Ranran, have you lost your mad?

Master,

this dark robe is too stuffy.

It doesn't look good at all.

Let me give you a red outfit.

Master, you've been gloomy for so long.

It's time to change your clothes and your mood.

It's said that when you wear red,
you're the most mesmerizing.

Indeed, you can captivate everyone.

Your beauty is truly bewitching.

No wonder Grandmaster
forcibly brought you to the mountain.

She must have been enchanted by your beauty.

Are you so drunk

that you're acting so unrestrained?

Xue Ranran, listen.

I'll punish you...

I really don't understand.

Why is such a handsome face

always so cold?

Why do your deep eyes

always emit a cold light?

Why do you always talk about punishment
with such a nice voice?

Xue Ranran,

are you drunk?

I'm not drunk.

Look,

one's body

doesn't lie.

When I drink too much, I grow trees.

There are none now.

How come a leek has grown?

Master, do you remember that day

when we stole green onions together?

Let me pin it on your new clothes as a decoration.

What...

What exactly are you trying to do?

Master,

you're so smart.

Why can't you move on

from your broken heart?

Since Grandmaster

has a new love interest,

you should let go of the past

and look forward.

Absurd.

When have I ever been hung up on this?

Are you sober now?

Have you had enough of this nonsense?

M-Master...

Believe it or not,

I-I just wanted to come and apologize.

If I had known,

I would have listened
to Ranran and brought Master dried longan.

Otherwise,

it wouldn't have come to this.

Forget about it.

I'm even more embarrassed.

Master,

let me help you.

It's time to change your clothes and your mood.

♫ I've shed thousands of tears,
but my feelings haven't run dry ♫

Don't cling to it.

Let go of my thoughts.

Why is such a handsome face

♫ Hatred adds grayness to my hair ♫

always so cold?

Let go of my thoughts.

♫ Which side does destiny choose? ♫

Your deep eyes.

Your nice voice.

♫ Demon or immortal? ♫

Let go of my improper thoughts!

Why can't you move on

♫ With you by my side, I'm fearless
in the face of life's hardships ♫

from your broken heart?

Don't cling to it.

Let go of my improper thoughts quickly!

♫ If love wants me to die ♫

♫ We'll be together again when the flowers bloom ♫

♫ The moment between us is worth 10,000 years ♫
