Gu Chaoyan’s expression remained less than joyful.
Nevertheless, it was impossible for her to flatly reject Gary’s excitement and instruct him not to make the necessary preparations.
She was certain of one thing: if she attempted to drive the sorcerer away, it was highly likely that the Five Elements Clan would take issue with her and potentially expel her instead.
Therefore, she forced a smile.
Gary wasted no time in organizing a place for the sorcerer to stay and warmly welcomed him.
Seeing Gary’s eagerness to settle the alleged charlatan-like wizard, Gu Chaoyan decided to let Gary handle these matters. She wasn’t particularly interested in this visitor and was more inclined to check on Aina’s progress.
With this intention, Gu Chaoyan began to depart.
However, the sorcerer sensed her intent and halted her. “Tribe Chief, please accompany me. I have something to discuss with you.”
Gu Chaoyan’s plan to leave was thwarted completely.
She cast an unhappy glance at the sorcerer but reluctantly walked over to him.
The sorcerer wasn’t deceived by Gary’s actions. The vacant bamboo house he had prepared was somewhat larger than the one belonging to the Tribe Chief. The original inhabitants of this bamboo house willingly relocated to their former animal skin tent.
Since the sorcerer wished to converse with the Tribe Chief privately, Gary didn’t follow them inside but stopped outside.
He gestured for them to enter.
Upon entering the bamboo house, the sorcerer appraised the interior and nodded approvingly. “Although your race’s strength may be relatively ordinary, your intelligence surpa.s.ses that of many other races. A house like this is vastly superior to an animal skin tent. You can stand upright and move about freely within. It can provide warmth in the winter and shade in the summer.”
“Very impressive. You excel as the Tribe Chief,” the sorcerer commended.
However, Gu Chaoyan didn’t think much of his praise. It wasn’t due to any other reason but because, in her view, she didn’t need the sorcerer’s approval.
The sorcerer couldn’t understand why Gu Chaoyan seemed unaffected by his words.
He smiled then. “You’re not the Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan, are you?”
Gu Chaoyan remained silent.
“Or more precisely, you don’t belong to this world.”
At this point, Gu Chaoyan cast an inquisitive glance at the sorcerer.
What had he discerned?
Or rather, what did he know?
Could it be that he wasn’t just a charlatan, but someone with genuine insight?
Gu Chaoyan was taken aback.
No wonder Gary and the others held this self-proclaimed sorcerer in such high regard.
“What are you talking about, sorcerer? I’m not the leader of the Five Elements Clan, and I have no connection to this world. I don’t understand why I’m here within these 500 meters. Sorcerer, you must be tired,” Gu Chaoyan denied flatly.
She had no desire to engage in further conversation with this sorcerer.
The sorcerer merely smiled.
He believed that Gu Chaoyan was deceiving herself.
“You’ve done an excellent job developing this clan, and you don’t seem to have any harmful intentions. I’ll choose to overlook what I’ve discerned for now. However, if you ever harbor ill intentions in the future, I’ll naturally exercise my authority as a sorcerer,” the sorcerer conveyed.
“Leave now. I’d like to rest for a while,” he declared, disinterested in further conversation.
Gu Chaoyan took a step toward the exit but paused, turning back to glance at him before swiftly departing.
Outside, Gary kept a vigilant watch not far from the entrance.
Upon spotting her exit, he greeted her with an enthusiastic smile.
Gu Chaoyan was left with a throbbing headache.
Tribe Chief?
