“Yes,” Aina responded without reservation.

“Tribe Chief, you didn’t want to take me with you on your previous expeditions. Now, I can contribute without going on trips. Why didn’t you include me? Am I not proficient at what I do?” Aina, despite her cheerful nature, could also be quite obstinate.

She didn’t want to be idle and unproductive, incapable of making a meaningful contribution.

This feeling was disheartening.

Her little friend, Gary, and the others all had important tasks to attend to. Even the less dependable Giles was occupied with work all day, while she wandered aimlessly.

She didn’t have any responsibilities.

The Tribe Chief hadn’t a.s.signed her any specific duties.

It was as if her presence was insignificant.

Everyone had their roles to play.

She, Aina, was no exception.

She couldn’t comprehend it.

Seeing Aina’s forlorn expression, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but chuckle.

Aina was still very young.

Her sorrowful look had a touch of innocence.

It seemed that unless Gu Chaoyan clarified things, Aina would only grow more despondent.

She clarified, “Aina, I didn’t involve you in their tasks for a different reason. It’s just that we’re going on a different expedition soon, and I intend to bring you along so you can gain broader experiences. That way, you’ll comprehend better.”

“Furthermore, I haven’t a.s.signed you the same responsibilities as the others because I don’t think you’re incapable.”

“It’s because I want you to be well-rounded, knowledgeable in all aspects. Only then can I eventually entrust you with the management of all the clan’s affairs. Do you grasp what I’m saying?”

“Gary is responsible for the welfare of our clan, whereas you’re in charge of overseeing both major and minor clan matters.”

“So, whether I’m present or not in the future, the clan will run smoothly. Do you comprehend?”

“Don’t dwell on those concerns.”

“Aina, our clan will continue to grow stronger, and there will be many tasks to be done. I hope I can count on you to fulfill the responsibilities I’ve entrusted to you.”

“Do you understand the expectations I have for you?” Gu Chaoyan asked Aina earnestly.

Aina’s face displayed astonishment.

She had believed that the Tribe Chief hadn’t allocated specific responsibilities to her because she was young and at times acted without propriety. She thought her abilities were limited and therefore was left out.

But she had never realized

The Tribe Chief held such high hopes for her.

It was precisely because her aspirations for Aina diverged from the rest that Aina’s role within the clan set her apart.

Aina was a little unhappy.

She had misconstrued the Tribe Chief’s intentions.

Not only had she not fulfilled her responsibilities well, but she had also been a source of bother throughout the day.

“Tribe Chief…” Aina was riddled with guilt.

“Don’t dwell on it too much. You’re still young, and it’s natural not to know everything,” Gu Chaoyan rea.s.sured her. “Now that I’ve clarified things for you, here’s how we’ll proceed. Just focus on your a.s.signed tasks and accompany us on our missions. We can discuss the rest at a later time.”

“I’ll provide guidance if you encounter any difficulties.”

“Understand? Don’t place too much pressure on yourself.”

“I understand…”

“All right, now select three individuals you deem trustworthy and suitable to follow you. Once you’ve done that, we’ll set out.”
