“Even though the Thunder Fire Clan mbers have wronged us, they don’t deserve to die. That’s enough,” Gu Chaoyan remarked with a light tone.
The mbers of the Thunder Fire Clan gazed at her in astonishnt.
Adams gingerly touched the wound on his face, bewildered.
“How dare he strike ?” Adams protested.
“Receiving a blow is already a lenient punishnt,” Gu Chaoyan responded calmly. “I, Xuelai, am the Tribe Chief of the Five Elents Clan. Did you not assert earlier that I, Xuelai, would serve as the wife of the Thunder Fire Clan’s Tribe Chief and contribute to your clan? Your words have offended , a mber of the Five Elents Clan.”
Silence ensued.
“Who do you think you are, Thunder Fire Clan? How dare you imply that I, as the Tribe Chief, should dedicate myself to your cause? I am the Tribe Chief of the Five Elents Clan, and I will hold this position for the rest of my life. If any person is willing to dedicate themselves to the Five Elents Clan, it is acceptable, contingent upon the consent of our clansn. However, if they are unwilling, we won’t impose such a commitnt on them. Is there any reason for us to offer our contributions to others?”
More silence.
“So, being struck is already a rciful response.”
Silence continued to reign.
“Given your earlier comnts, I, the Tribe Chief, am determined to ensure you remain within the confines of the Five Elents Clan forever,” Gu Chaoyan declared, her eyes flashing with a fierce intensity, as if she were a sword on the brink of delivering a fatal blow.
Adams was utterly confounded.
Why…
This was what she had once fervently pursued.
Wasn’t she previously attempting to extort him with the sa request?
‘Why is she refusing now?’
“What?”
Adams found himself montarily flummoxed, uncertain about his next course of action.
Had Xuelai truly changed?
What had transpired to bring about this transformation?
Adams began to question the path of his life.
Gu Chaoyan articulated her stance with clarity. “If you wish to exchange for the bamboo house and weapons, you must offer sothing of equivalent value.”
Silence hung in the air.
“As you are unable to provide such an offering, let’s go.”
Still, silence persisted.
“Given that you’ve already been disciplined for your earlier insult, I won’t bear any further grudge.”
Silence remained unbroken.
“Let’s depart.”
Having spoken these words, Gu Chaoyan was in no hurry to linger any longer and swiftly made her way out, leaving behind Adams and the mbers of the Thunder Fire Clan.
In truth, she could have simply declined to et him.
Yet…
She was well aware that if Adams persisted, he would make frequent appearances. Her past actions had conditioned the Five Elents Clan mbers to panic upon seeing Adams. This sense of unease was ingrained in them.
She didn’t want her clansn to live in constant fear.
Hence, she t with them, clearly conveying her stance. Her clansn would naturally comprehend and cease panicking.
Her next goal was to strengthen the Five Elents Clan.
Exiting the room, Gu Chaoyan returned to the area where the prey was being processed.
She had previously stated that she would oversee the handling of the prey, so the clansn had suspended their work and engaged in other tasks in the interim.
Upon her return, the clansn reassembled and resud discussions with their Tribe Chief on how to manage the prey.
The at, air-dried as it was, had considerably deteriorated. Its taste was wretched, fishy, and unappetizing. While the clansn were accustod to such fare, Gu Chaoyan had different preferences. She couldn’t tolerate such food and intended to devise a way to preserve and prepare it. Naturally, she would be the one to lead this effort.
Regarding the prior dispute between the Five Elents Clan mbers and her…
