In this chapter, Cai tells his sister-in-law that he's not the lucky one running into him. He's the one who saved his daughter. Cai tells the others to stop swinging their swords at the black dragon, because it's his palace, and he wishes them all to stop doing that. He also tells Cai that the consul general and the qianyi have come to his palace to inspect the progress of the holy dam being built by the imperial dragon. Cai says that he hasn't seen such an order come from the emperor before. The emperor's brother is the younger brother of the emperor. The consul general seems to be equal to Cai's daughter, but Cai is afraid that the king of Ma'o will disobey the emperor and make a move against Cai. Cai asks the servant of the king if he can join them. The servant says the king has arrived and Cai invites him to join them in the holy water dam. The dam is being built to fight floods and to control the flow of water for the future generations of the kingdom.
