She nodded. “In that case, alright.”
Gary exchanged a surprised glance with his Tribe Chief.
Adams, too, couldn’t hide his astonishment.
He had come to express goodwill merely to make an appearance in front of the sorcerers. He hadn’t expected Xuelai to acquiesce to his previous attitude. If she hadn’t agreed, he had a backup plan: follow behind but not too closely.
But…
She actually agreed.
What?
Adams found himself momentarily unsure of what to do.
“We’re all headed to the Huang Family. Our families are close, so let’s stick together. Gary, check if the Thunder Fire Clan needs assistance. If we need help, we can turn to them. Since we’re going to be friends, let’s drop the formalities,” Gu Chaoyan announced loudly.
Gary’s expression stiffened.
The Tribe Chief…
Did she have something in mind for Adams?
Now that Gu Chaoyan had made her position clear, Adams was determined to do the same.
“I’ll organize my clansmen right away. Let’s all lend a hand!” Adams declared sincerely.
As Adams left, Gu Chaoyan gave a subtle wink to Gary.
“We’ve got plenty of supplies; we can handle the quilts and animal skins ourselves. Let’s ask the Thunder Fire Clan for assistance with the rest. They have abundant resources and can help us with those. At most, we can contribute by preparing food for the Thunder Fire Clan as well,” Gu Chaoyan explained, concerned that Gary might be contemplating something else and might not grasp her subtle hints.
Gary grasped Gu Chaoyan’s intentions almost instantly.
It became clear that the Tribe Chief had agreed for the sake of unity, not because she shared Adams’ sentiments. Gary felt a twinge of guilt for the misunderstanding.
“What are you waiting for? Our tribesmen are disciplined. Don’t touch our crucial supplies, or we’ll be short on necessities!” Gu Chaoyan bellowed.
Gary couldn’t afford any delay. He rushed out, swiftly coordinating the cooperation between the two races.
Despite the promise to support each other, the Five Elements Clan, with its abundance of resources, didn’t have spare hands to assist the Thunder Fire Clan. At most, they would share some resources with them.
Soon, the Thunder Fire Clan found themselves burdened with numerous items from the Five Elements Clan.
Fear of the sorcerer’s presence kept any potential dissent in check; they dared not oppose the arrangement.
The Five Elements Clan continued their journey with renewed cheerfulness.
Gu Chaoyan, who had initially been displeased, now felt a sense of satisfaction.
Had it been any other tribe, she might have restrained herself, but against the Thunder Fire Clan, she held nothing back. They had taken advantage of the Five Elements Clan in the past, and she was determined to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.
The sorcerer, well aware of the unfolding dynamics, chose to feign ignorance.
As they walked alongside each other, he couldn’t help but remark, “You…”
Gu Chaoyan nonchalantly shrugged, choosing to ignore him.
The sorcerer wisely refrained from intervening.
Among the Five Elements Clan, joy was palpable, while the expressions of the Thunder Fire Clan members turned increasingly sour.
“Tribe Chief, have we fallen victim to a scheme?” inquired a member of the Thunder Fire Clan.
“Yes,” Adams confirmed unequivocally, “Even if that’s the case, you must bear with it and handle these items. The presence of the sorcerers in the Five Elements Clan leaves us with no choice. Either they won’t side with you, or you’ll have to accept this burden. Clear?”
