The members of the Thunder Fire Clan nodded in reluctant agreement.
Though they were willing to bear the burden, a sense of discomfort lingered. The tables had turned from the times when they used to dominate the Five Elements Clan. Now, being on the receiving end of mistreatment felt unfamiliar and unsettling.
Adams led his clansmen, trailing behind the Five Elements Clan, contemplating the significant change in Xuelai.
He couldn’t help but acknowledge that she had undergone a remarkable transformation. In the past, he had held a disdainful view of her, whether as the Tribe Chief or simply as a member of the Thunder Fire Clan. He perceived her as foolish, lacking in practical skills, and p.r.o.ne to making unintelligent decisions.
Yet, his perspective had s.h.i.+fted.
Observing her leaders.h.i.+p as Tribe Chief, he now found her impressively astute. Adams couldn’t help but admit that Xuelai surpa.s.sed him in intelligence.
The current Xuelai, in his eyes, was genuinely deserving of respect.
It was a departure from his previous stance, where he had contemplated marrying into her family solely for the sake of the Five Elements Clan. Now, he felt a genuine desire to marry her.
However, the gap between them seemed insurmountable.
“Tribe Chief, we’ll handle these items. You should go and mingle in front of the Five Elements Clan. Even if you can’t catch the sorcerers’ attention, try to draw the eyes of the Five Elements Clan,” Percy suggested.
The Five Elements Clan was evidently thriving under the present circ.u.mstances.
Observing the quilts in their hands, rumored to be exceptionally warm, Adams couldn’t resist reaching out to touch one. Indeed, it felt cozy and, with its lid, promised comfort even on the coldest days.
However, it was a pity.
The Five Elements Clan guarded these items zealously, not allowing the Thunder Fire Clan even a touch. It was apparent that the Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan had lost interest in their Tribe Chief. He had become a stranger, unwilling to offer any benefits.
Consequently, the Tribe Chief realized the need to establish a positive relations.h.i.+p with him. Perhaps, in doing so, they could secure advantages in the future.
Adams reluctantly suppressed his pride, nodding in acknowledgment. He took a step forward towards the Five Elements Clan.
Although the Five Elements Clan seemed inclined to stop him, they hesitated, remembering the agreement they had reached, and chose to relent.
Adams maneuvered his way to the front of Gu Chaoyan.
Despite the awkwardness, he managed to muster a smile.
“The Huang Clan isn’t far. Let our two clans coexist peacefully during this time,” Adams suggested, cringing at himself for uttering what felt like empty words.
“Alright,” Gu Chaoyan agreed, appreciating the idea of peace.
“That blanket of yours doesn’t seem to be crafted from wild beast fur. It appears to be made of something different. Would you be willing to share some insights with us?” Adams inquired, prompting a skeptical glance from Gu Chaoyan.
Quickly, Adams rea.s.sured her, “We’ll do our best to provide whatever you need.”
“This winter, we have many elders in our Thunder Fire Clan. That’s why we’re raising this request. We don’t harbor any other ill intentions.”
“Sure, if you come across anything suitable for blankets on the journey, I’ll inform you. Aina can also teach you how to make blankets. I don’t have any additional conditions, but rest a.s.sured, the Thunder Fire Clan has no intentions of causing harm to the Five Elements Clan,” Gu Chaoyan a.s.serted candidly.
Adams, perplexed once more, questioned, “Why are you willing? Last time…”
