To Get Master Episode 4 Recap
> To Get Master Recap
Baili Xingchen arrived at Wind Whisper Valley, earning the chance to stay through a martial arts competition. However, due to his lack of social tact, he ended up being assigned to hard labor in the woodshed. Gu Yuan finally met his uncle Nan Wentian.
Since Nan Chuimeng was the only male in the Nan family and Nan Wentian had no sons, Nan Chuimeng had no choice but to fulfill the marriage agreement made long ago between Nan Wentian and Elder Chu. Gu Yuan successfully obtained the task of escorting the Xiaoyao Manual to the martial arena, while Zhou Hang received the sword their master had removed from the stone wall. Zhou Hang harbored ulterior motives.
He secretly met with Lin Pi, the martial arts competition champion from two days prior, unaware that this was actually Chu Mengdie in disguise. Zhou Hang planned to use Lin Pi to eliminate Chu Mengdie during a sparring match. He didn’t state it outright—he simply told him to “hold back.” From Zhou Hang’s words, Lin Pi deduced that the person who had tried to assassinate her was from Wind Whisper Valley, but she still didn’t know who was impersonating her.
On the day of the competition, Gu Yuan and Han Yan worked together to divert the attendants. Originally, Gu Yuan could have taken the Xiaoyao Manual and left this place of trouble, but upon learning that Li Song'er had been taken to the arena by Zhou Hang, he calculated that she was likely still alive and decided to go check on her. At first, Zhou Hang asked Li Song'er to demonstrate some martial arts.
She improvised and started leading the crowd in a fitness routine. Although the audience, knowing her as Chu Mengdie, didn’t understand what she was doing, they respectfully applauded. Lin Pi, seeing this, challenged her to a match. Li Song'er politely declined. Lin Pi, thinking she was a disgrace, was deeply embarrassed on her behalf. Fortunately, Gu Yuan arrived just in time.
With his help, Li Song'er struck out, and unexpectedly managed to send the highly skilled real Chu Mengdie flying with one palm. Everyone present was stunned and praised Li Song'er for her immense internal strength. Gu Yuan handed the Xiaoyao Manual to Zhou Hang, who foolishly opened and read it, only to be poisoned—his entire face swelled up. Their master, seeing him in that state, was furious, calling him useless and far too impatient.
Since Nan Wentian was bound to pass the title of Valley Master to Zhou Hang, the master believed Zhou Hang’s eagerness would only backfire. The poison had been deliberately placed on the manual by the master as a test for Gu Yuan, but unexpectedly, Zhou Hang fell into the trap. Moreover, the manual was a fake. The master told Zhou Hang that the real Xiaoyao Manual wasn’t something either of them could access.
Their task was to open the gate to the secret manual only after the marriage between Chu Mengdie and Nan Chuimeng. Gu Yuan had opened the box and seen the Xiaoyao Manual, instantly recognizing it as a fake. As a child, he had once spilled tea on the real manual, leaving stains, but there were no stains on this one. Now, to find the real Xiaoyao Manual, he could only continue to make use of Li Song'er.
Zhou Hang was Nan Wentian’s son-in-law, having married Nan Feiyan. He was a true henpecked husband. Nan Feiyan, knowing exactly what kind of person Zhou Hang was, requested a tonic to boost inner strength from her father and, in her husband’s name, issued a challenge to Gu Yuan. This scared Zhou Hang out of his wits. At that moment, Gu Yuan was having tea with Uncle Bai—Zhou Hang’s master.
Upon receiving the challenge, Gu Yuan informed Uncle Bai, who cursed Zhou Hang as a disgraceful disciple. While he outwardly appeared courteous, he privately asked Gu Yuan to show mercy. Gu Yuan, however, politely declined under the excuse of feeling unwell.
