Aina’s agitation was palpable as she discussed the situation. It was evident that she held reservations about the Tribe Chief, but her enduring loyalty to the Tribe Chief was rooted in their years of friendship.
It had bee clear that the Tribe Chief’s actions had crossed a line.
It was no surprise that the clansmen harbored blame against her.
The clansmen, in their own way, displayed kindness. Despite the numerous audacious actions of the Tribe Chief, they had chosen to simply ignore her.
“It is my fault,” Gu Chaoyan admitted straightforwardly.
Indeed, her feelings for Adams were genuine. Nevertheless, in her role as the Tribe Chief, she recognized the paramount importance of her duty to the clan’s welfare.
Aina gazed at her Tribe Chief in astonishment.
In the past, no matter how many times she had attempted to reason with the Tribe Chief, she had been met with resistance. The Tribe Chief had tirelessly protected Adams and even employed the clan’s resources to appease him. However, the Tribe Chief’s stance had now shifted.
Now…
The Tribe Chief acknowledged her errors?
If that were the case, would she lead the clan to a better future? Failing to reconsider her actions would only result in further losses for the clan.
“Tribe Chief, is this true? I must go and share this good news with them,” Aina, a genuinely innocent person, beamed with excitement, eager to broadcast the fact that the clan would continue to accept their Tribe Chief.
However…
Before Aina could depart, Gu Chaoyan gently restrained her.
She motioned for Aina to remain seated.
She then said, “Let’s set this matter aside for now.”
Aina was riddled with doubts. She believed that it was a positive development, so she wondered why Gu Chaoyan hadn’t shared it openly.
“I’ve mitted too many wrongs, and if I were to speak these words now, it would only bewilder the people. Instead, I’ll take actions that will lead them to accept me. Aina, let’s see what my next steps will be,” Gu Chaoyan declared with a determined gleam in her eyes.
Aina prehended her intent and nodded earnestly. “Tribe Chief, I understand.”
“Then go ahead with your work. Don’t concern yourself with me.”
“Very well.”
Aina’s emotions were transparent; her joy or displeasure were plainly evident on her face. Following this exchange, she appeared to be in exceptionally high spirits, as if something remarkably auspicious had just occurred. She eagerly went about her tasks.
Upon encountering her clansmen, they couldn’t help but inquire about her exuberance.
Aina remembered what the Tribe Chief had instructed and opted not to divulge it.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan continued to contemplate her next course of action.
The wounded individuals had the necessary herbs for treatment, so that aspect was manageable.
The foremost concern was the procurement of supplies.
In a world devoid of civilization, the most abundant resources were in the form of plants, soil, and natural flora.
Basic necessities like clothing, food, shelter, and transportation were imperative.
Food, in particular, held paramount importance.
Furthermore, the members of the Five Elements Clan required formidable defenses.
In light of this, weapons needed to be prepared.
For now, they could begin with arrows.
As she pondered these considerations…
Aina abruptly rushed over. “Tribe Chief, e with me quickly. Rain is imminent, and we must seek shelter.”
As the Tribe Chief, her safety was of utmost importance within the clan.
