“But we can allow a few people to take shelter from the rain in the caves here,” the Huang clansman pointed toward the caverns behind him.
‘Of course.’
Their intent was clear; they weren’t seeking Gu Chaoyan’s permission but were already making plans to do so.
Gu Chaoyan’s eyes darkened, but she still nodded, returning with a cold expression.
The mbers of the Five Elents Clan also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she had returned unhard. Initially, they had feared an attack from the Huang clan, akin to those who had ventured over earlier.
“Tribe Chief, it’s fine if they’re unwilling. We’ll endure it, even if it’s difficult. After all, we old bones should have perished in the winter if not for Tribe Chief. Living this long is already a blessing,” consoled a few elders from the Five Elents Clan.
Though reluctant to face death, they had co to accept the inevitable.
“Don’t worry, they have agreed to let so people take refuge in the cave to escape the rain,” Gu Chaoyan forced a smile.
The elders were astonished. This was good news; how could the Tribe Chief not be happy?
After a while, mbers of the Huang Clan arrived, seizing a few elders and children to head towards the caves.
The issue was resolved just like that.
However, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t find it in her to laugh.
Adams approached, fumbling in the darkness. “Xuelai, why are you unhappy? At least, so matters have been resolved.”
Gu Chaoyan shook her head subtly.
“We’ve resolved so issues, but the Huang Clan has gained more control over us,” she candidly revealed to Adams.
“What?” Adams montarily struggled to comprehend.
“The Huang Clan is well-prepared. Those caves are designated for the elderly and children, and every clan has their vulnerable mbers inside. We might escape at a suitable ti, but currently, they’re holding the elderly and children within 500 ters as hostages. What should we do?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
In this uncivilized world,
True.
Rules of morality and justice were yet to be established.
However…
Their clansn remained fiercely united.
Even if death was looming, abandoning their still living clansn was not an option dictated by their unity.
“So, you’re saying they won’t release them even when the rain stops?” Adams sought clarification.
“Yes,” Gu Chaoyan affird with conviction.
A tinge of lancholy settled over Adams.
This lancholy lingered until the next day. With no rain, the elders and children of the clan did not return, worsening the situation.
All of Xuelai’s predictions had proven true.
It was indeed the Huang clan’s strategy.
“What should we do?” Adams inquired.
Adams had grown accustod to seeking guidance from Xuelai in all matters.
Throughout their journey, Xuelai had been the decision-maker.
Gu Chaoyan prodded the sorcerer.
Then, she whispered in front of both of them, “Tonight, let’s go to the Huang Clan and see what’s happening. How about that?”
“You an?”
“Yes, can you do it?” Gu Chaoyan fixed her gaze on Adams. She wasn’t concerned about the sorcerer; she knew he would find a way.
“Sure,” Adams replied.
“Tonight then,” Gu Chaoyan decided.
For a day, they remained trapped in relative peace.
As dusk approached, Gu Chaoyan began assessing the situation.
She was contemplating how they could escape.
The most viable solution at the mont
was to eliminate the person guarding them in this corner and…
