“Last time, you treated us like this…” Adams struggled to find the right words.
“Last time, it was the Thunder Fire Clan that disrespected me for being a member of the Five Elements Clan. You were clearly scheming against me, so why should I be willing?” Gu Chaoyan responded straightforwardly. “Moreover, what you sought last time was a weapon, not a blanket. I won’t provide the weapons of the Five Elements Clan. We are a small clan, and we don’t fare well in conflicts with others.”
“The elders of the Thunder Fire Clan are still human. I don’t want to see them perish.”
Adams appeared to grasp the situation, yet uncertainty lingered. He nodded.
Xuelai had indeed undergone a significant transformation.
She now stood by her own principles, a change Adams recognized as positive.
Although he didn’t dare to push for more concessions, he felt content that she agreed to teach them how to make blankets.
Adams chose not to press further and remained silent as the journey continued.
When it was time to cook, both clans halted.
Gu Chaoyan had previously stated that she would take care of the Thunder Fire Clan’s food needs, and the Five Elements Clan treated everyone equally. Meat slices were distributed, but in limited quantities.
Gu Chaoyan approached Gary, addressing him, “Gary, notice how many elders are shivering. Release some blankets and let them huddle together at night. It’s not right to witness someone freezing to death while traveling together.”
Gu Chaoyan was willing to extend some assistance to the Thunder Fire Clan in this matter, but her support had its limits.
After all…
Gary agreed.
Allowing a few blankets wouldn’t inconvenience them much and would help maintain a semblance of unity.
Gary took action.
Suddenly, the members of the Thunder Fire Clan found themselves with meat soup and a few blankets.
Their initial grievances dissipated.
Following the Five Elements Clan proved beneficial. A few words from their Tribe Chief, and benefits followed. If she coaxed them a bit more, they could likely secure additional advantages.
The Thunder Fire Clan members were in no hurry.
Observing all of this, Percy couldn’t help but let out an embarrassed smile.
Allowing the Tribe Chief to handle it had been the right decision.
Percy watched as the Thunder Fire Clan members enjoyed their meat soup, and then he glanced at the Five Elements Tribe Patriarch. Without awaiting instructions, he approached the Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan.
With the Three Elements Clan’s contribution of three blankets, the elders of the Thunder Fire Clan who had been uncomfortable now had the means to cover themselves in the cold nights. However, the supply was still a bit tight.
Percy carefully assessed the situation within the Five Elements Clan.
The abundance of blankets among them was evident. Almost everyone had one wrapped around them. Moreover, they shared beds, with two or three people to a bed. In some cases, even two men or three women could manage. With this surplus, dozens of additional blankets were available. Percy saw an opportunity to distribute these to the Thunder Fire Clan. Everyone could take turns covering or bundling up, ensuring the comfort of a few strong young men.
Given that the Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan had shown some flexibility, Percy felt confident that they could have a constructive discussion.
He gathered his courage and approached.
At that moment, Gu Chaoyan was consuming wild vegetables and abstaining from the broth.
“You’re being a bit hard on yourself,” Percy remarked with a smile.
Gu Chaoyan shot him a glance.
She was aware of his Thunder Fire Clan affiliation. Besides Adams, he appeared to be one of the more capable individuals in their clan.
As for how she could discern that…
