To Get Master Episode 17 Recap
> To Get Master Recap
Li Song’er couldn’t wait any longer—she picked the lock with her hairpin. Since the rules didn’t specify otherwise, unlocking the door still counted as success. She felt martial artists were far too rigid in their thinking. Baili, following the instructions from the letter, found the correct key. Chu Mengdie didn’t overthink it, believing her judgment had been right—Baili wasn’t as silly as he appeared. In fact, he was quite clever.
Ever since reading Nan Wentian’s letter, Baili had become slightly wary of Gu Yuan, though he remained conflicted, as he was still Gu Yuan’s disciple. In the next round of the competition, Baili answered a question incorrectly, yet all the judges still passed him. He was speechless—the cheating was blatantly obvious. But the judges refused to admit anything, insisting that Baili’s answer was correct. On the other side, Li Song’er and Gu Yuan were answering questions together.
Gu Yuan was slightly better and won against Li Song’er. Soon, only the final round of the tournament remained. Nan Wentian deliberately arranged a private meeting with the leaders of the other sects. He put on a noble front, expressing his wish for Baili to take the championship. He praised Baili as pure-hearted, fully devoted to martial arts, and free from ulterior motives. The others understood what Nan Wentian meant and naturally wouldn’t let him down.
Gu Yuan, eavesdropping outside, listened thoughtfully. As expected, Baili easily defeated his opponent in the next match, aware it was all arranged by Nan Wentian. Later, while having tea with Bai Wuxie, Bai Wuxie poisoned Baili’s tea and sent a message to Chu Mengdie, informing her that Baili had been poisoned. If she wanted the antidote, she had to lose their match.
Gu Yuan deliberately lost to Chu Mengdie, as he couldn’t reveal his true identity or display his real skills. Now, only Chu Mengdie and Baili remained for the final duel. Before the match began, Gu Yuan instructed Han Yan to take Li Song’er away. Although he had lost the tournament, he was determined to expose Nan Wentian’s true nature. During the match, Baili began to show signs of poisoning. At first, Chu Mengdie focused only on defense, not attacking.
While the two fought, Gu Yuan appeared wearing a mask. At the same time, another masked man was also present. A duel ensued between the two, and Gu Yuan overpowered him, forcing the man to reveal his true identity—Nan Wentian. His plan had been to take Xiaoyao Jue for himself. Gu Yuan then removed his mask and revealed his true identity in front of everyone. He tossed Xiaoyao Jue into the air, its pages scattering to the ground.
Everyone rushed to grab them, proving that no one could resist the temptation of a martial arts manual. Gu Yuan turned and walked away. Bai Wuxie and Nan Wentian both realized that their grand scheme had completely fallen apart. Baili voluntarily conceded, proclaiming Chu Mengdie as the leader of the martial world. The others quickly voiced their support.
