“All these years, the Thunder Fire Clan has never harbored any enmity toward our Five Elements Clan. The camps of the two clans are not far apart. Now, as we journey to the Huang Clan together, the Five Elements Clan is extending goodwill. They fear potential conflicts with other clans along the way and have, as an exception, permitted the Thunder Fire Clan to join our journey to the Huang Clan alongside the sorcerer.”
“As a gesture of goodwill, we even distributed blankets to some elders of the Thunder Fire Clan. The meat from the Five Elements Clan has been turned into soup, ensuring everyone is treated equally.”
“I didn’t antic.i.p.ate the Thunder Fire Clan’s apparent greed, seeking more items and demanding half of the Five Elements Clan’s blankets.”
“The actions of the Thunder Fire Clan are excessive.”
“Though our agreement to travel together to the Huang Clan will stand, the future will see us no longer sharing meals with the Thunder Fire Clan. The Five Elements Clan will partake in their own provisions. As for the few blankets already distributed, consider them as valuable as meat buns.”
“Gary, relay this message to the Five Elements Clan.”
“Do you understand?” Gu Chaoyan stated with a stern expression.
“Understood.” Gary responded with joy. He eagerly antic.i.p.ated the implementation of this decision.
Ensuring everyone received equal treatment with food was already a generous gesture, considering the Thunder Fire Clan’s substantial numbers and hearty appet.i.tes. Witnessing their apparent greed, Gary was ready to move forward with a sense of relief, focusing on mutual a.s.sistance during the journey.
Unexpectedly, the people of the Thunder Fire Clan seemed unchanged, persisting in their desire for more from the Five Elements Clan even after receiving benefits.
Gary, noting this, couldn’t allow such behavior to be encouraged.
Turning away, he got back to his tasks.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan calmly sat down and gracefully requested another bowl from Aina. Aina left with a smile.
Percy remained standing, his face reflecting disbelief.
Not only did Gu Chaoyan refuse to give more, but she also withdrew the original food arrangements. Furthermore, she made it clear that, in the future, if she was dissatisfied, she wouldn’t hesitate to expel the Thunder Fire Clan.
Percy felt like he was losing control of the situation.
His intentions, initially aimed at benefiting his clansmen, seemed to have backfired.
Moreover, if the Thunder Fire Clan members learned that the Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan issued such an order upon his arrival, they might harbor resentment towards him. Although he held a position in the clan, he wasn’t the Tribe Chief—only the Tribe Chief would be forgiven if mistakes were made.
Percy’s expression soured. “Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan, are you truly going to be this ruthless?”
Gu Chaoyan lifted her head, casting a glance at him. “I’m afraid the Thunder Fire Clan is overreaching. I’m taking these steps to minimize losses. You can leave now.”
“Don’t be a nuisance in my presence, or I can’t guarantee I won’t take further action.”
“I didn’t permit you to join the journey to the Huang Clan to cause trouble for my Five Elements Clan.”
With those words, Aina arrived with a bowl of hot wild vegetable soup. “Tribe Chief, it’s still hot. Drink it while it’s warm. Pay no mind to those people from the Thunder Fire Clan. The sorcerer mentioned wanting to speak with you later.”
Percy seemed about to say something, but at the mention of the sorcerer, he hastily departed.
Observing Percy’s departure, Gu Chaoyan turned to Aina with a displeased expression. “What does the sorcerer want?”
He seemed to bring a lot of trouble.
Aina chuckled.
