A thousand li east of the Jiang surname tribe, Dinu and a cultivator dressed in animal skins stood side by side before Daoist Qingling. "Celestial Venerable, this matter is not Yushi's fault; it is entirely Dinu's doing. Please, I beg you not to blame him..."
Hearing Dinu say this, Daoist Qingling felt a slight wave of annoyance. *If I weren't afraid of you disrupting Lieshan's path to Dao confirmation, I wouldn't bother meddling in your affairs.* He glanced at the uneasy Yushi and said, "Chisongzi, as the tribe's rain master, you should attend to your own duties. If I discover you harboring any clever ulterior motives, you surely know something of my methods—making your life a living hell would be a simple matter indeed..."
Before Daoist Qingling could finish speaking, the rain master Chisongzi dropped to his knees and kowtowed. "Celestial Venerable, rest assured. Chisongzi dares to swear upon the Heavenly Dao that I shall perform my duties faithfully and never fail Dinu." Seeing this, Dinu knelt beside Chisongzi as well, bearing the air of a devoted and compliant wife.
