“Tribe Chief, the sorcerer didn’t come looking for you. Aina just mentioned it casually. Without her mentioning it, the person the Thunder Fire Clan dislikes would surely not have left,” Aina explained, wearing a pleased smile.

Gu Chaoyan cast a glance at Aina.

Aina, sensing a hint of uncertainty, wondered if she had done something wrong.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but laugh, playfully tapping Aina’s forehead. “You’re starting to resemble me.”

Aina smiled in response.

The two shared a moment of joy.

Equally joyous were those who received the news that they no longer had to share their meat with the Thunder Fire Clan.

The antic.i.p.ated day had finally come.

However, the people from the Thunder Fire Clan found themselves unable to share in the merriment.

They had limited dried meat this year, using most of it during the winter. Henceforth, they’d have to sustain themselves on wild vegetables. They could have traveled with the Five Elements Clan, ensuring safety due to the presence of sorcerers, and daily meat soup to enjoy. Their days were about to become significantly better.

Now, that prospect was gone.

Their happiness was now replaced with disappointment.

After inquiries, they learned that their Second Chief, Percy, was to blame. He had angered the Tribe Chief, resulting in the order to no longer travel together. Furthermore, there was a warning that continued misbehavior would lead to a complete separation.

Understanding the cause and effect, some of them began to harbor resentment towards Percy. Desperate, they sought out the Tribe Chief to mend the situation.

Adams, who had been waiting patiently, rushed out upon hearing the news.

Upon seeing Percy, he delivered a direct slap and scolded angrily, “Who allowed you to act on your own?!”

“Tribe Chief, I’m doing this for the good of my clansmen. I thought she would agree, but who knew…” Percy was equally anxious. While his intentions were indeed for the benefit of his clansmen, seeing their displeased expressions made him realize that things hadn’t gone as planned.

He had been confident when he approached Gu Chaoyan, but now, facing the consequences, he regretted his actions.

Adams snorted at him and left in haste.

Rus.h.i.+ng to the Five Elements Clan, Adams found Tribe Chief Xuelai and nervously said, “I’ve learned what happened.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

“I’m truly sorry for causing you trouble.”

“What Percy did was his own doing; no one else in the clan knew. I’ll definitely punish him.”

“Adams, I’ve already handled this matter. As for what you want to do, it’s not my concern. Even if he acted alone, he’s still a member of the Thunder Fire Clan, and your clan will bear the consequences of his actions.”

“Don’t say anything more.”

“I understand. I’m here to apologize to you. I won’t ask for anything else,” Adams said. His frustration was apparent. The relations.h.i.+p between the two races was just beginning to improve, and his connection with Xuelai had softened. If things had gone smoothly, the future could have been promising. However, Percy, in his misguided attempt to be clever, had disrupted everything.

“Well, then, I’ll head back,” Adams said, departing with a heavy heart.

“Go ahead,” Gu Chaoyan replied, devoid of emotion.

In her view, the details were not crucial.

Adams returned disheartened.

Percy hurriedly approached. “What did she say? Will she be appeased if you go and apologize?”

“Continue your journey. Don’t dwell on it too much,” Adams advised.
