“As winter approaches, with this bamboo house providing shelter from the snow and cold, it would be highly beneficial for us to learn how to use weapons effectively for hunting,” Adams conveyed with an earnest expression. “I intend for you to arrange for so of your people to teach us the art of crafting and wielding such weapons. By doing so, I believe our clans can successfully endure the winter together.”
The Thunder Fire Clan possessed considerable strength in this region. Nonetheless, they were not immune to the harsh forces of nature. Winter’s arrival brought freezing temperatures, leading to the tragic deaths of many clan mbers. Adams was determined to prevent his clansn from perishing due to freezing or starvation. Thus, they considered these two requests to be of utmost importance.
Adams was confident that Xuelai would support his appeal. She was willing to go to great lengths to assist him, and he anticipated her agreent.
Tension gripped the faces of the Five Elents Clan mbers, who fervently hoped their Tribe Chief would reject the proposal. Their clan was already fragile, and without this, they might lose the ans to survive peacefully. There was a very real possibility they’d be forced out in the end.
While the Thunder Fire Clan’s Chief currently appeared benevolent, it was only because he sought sothing from them. If he had no requests, he could be quite ruthless. This point had been made abundantly clear.
The clan mbers were perplexed, wondering about their Tribe Chief’s thoughts. Anxiety coursed through them, fearing her imdiate acquiescence.
In response to Adams’ request, Gu Chaoyan calmly nodded.
Certainly, bamboo houses and weapons were essential for ensuring their clans’ survival through the harsh winter, preventing deaths from freezing and starvation. But these were valuable possessions of the Five Elents Clan, and the Thunder Fire Clan couldn’t expect to obtain them in exchange for a re two pieces of at, could they?
“Sure,” Gu Chaoyan responded casually.
The mbers of the Five Elents Clan appeared increasingly despondent.
Adams couldn’t hide his delight. “Xuelai, do you have any doubts?”
Feeling content, he added a touch of warmth to his tone, addressing her by na to make her feel appreciated.
Gu Chaoyan, however, remained straightforward. “Of course, I do.”
Adams appeared perplexed. “What?”
“Considering you want the bamboo houses and weapons of our Five Elents Clan, what do you intend to exchange for them? These two pieces of at? That… seems rather absurd, doesn’t it?”
“Yesterday, Gary and his people went hunting, returning with nurous wild rabbits and even a wild boar. These two pieces of at have little value to the Five Elents Clan. It’s unreasonable for us to surrender our weapons for them,” Gu Chaoyan stated, regarding Adams as though he were acting foolishly.
Gary nodded in agreent. The Tribe Chief was absolutely correct.
Even if they intended to provide assistance, they should expect a fair exchange. How could they accept such a perfunctory offer—two pieces of at in exchange for such valuable resources? It was a fanciful notion.
Adams gazed at Gu Chaoyan in astonishnt. “Xuelai, what’s gotten into you? Weren’t we discussing how to mutually benefit our two clans, striving for betternt?”
“Why are you suddenly making demands?” Adams expressed his disappointnt, attempting to unnerve her with his disappointnt.
Gu Chaoyan was puzzled. “Tribe Chief, are you suggesting that you want to gain sothing without offering anything in return? You aim to take the possessions of the Five Elents Clan without providing us anything?”
“Are you living in a dream?”
“Even if we have the welfare of our clansn at heart…”
Gu Chaoyan was poised to continue, seeking a balanced solution.
