Episode 20 recap: Chen Man Cang finished the test.

When Chen Man Cang was about to leave, he suddenly learned from his subordinate about the city lord's arrest. He realized the crime of deceiving the emperor by concealing his daughter's identity, and began to feel that something serious was happening. As he chased after them, he witnessed the city lord being handcuffed and taken away. He could only watch helplessly as the person in front of him left. He then decided to make Gu Lao confess his sins to make amends.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Lao was packing his things and planning to escape. However, Chen Man Cang and the guards intercepted him on the spot and took him away directly. At this point, the other party also learned about the city lord's arrest and began to gloat. After returning, Chen Man Cang continued to rack his brains for a solution. He also planned to seek help from the senior ancestor to save the person. However, the other party remained unconscious, which left him in a dilemma. He was determined to continue finding a way to rescue the person without giving up.

When Chen Man Cang was ready to make amends, he was unexpectedly stopped on the spot. Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, he decided to use force and directly take the person away. The person in front of him then gave him a three-day deadline to complete the task. In a critical moment, Chen Man Cang successfully came up with a good solution within two days and rescued the city lord. As he returned to the real world and succeeded in the test, he directly saw his beloved person standing in front of him.
