With the matter put forward, Adams intended to leave it at that and return to his clan for preparations, unwilling to waste more time on the issue.

However, Gu Chaoyan’s response was swift and uncompromising. “I don’t agree.”

Adams had already been prepared to discuss the finer details of the arrangement, such as building additional bamboo houses within the Five Elements Clan to accommodate Thunder Fire Clan members and ensuring equitable treatment.

He had anticipated moving forward with the plan, making it all the more surprising that Gu Chaoyan had rejected the proposal.

Adams couldn’t hide his disappointment and frustration. He had thought he had done enough to win her over and compel her to agree.

“I’ve willingly agreed to join your Five Elements Clan, and you don’t agree?” Adams was taken aback and found the situation rather absurd.

Gu Chaoyan nodded resolutely. “Haven’t I already made my stance clear yesterday? I have no interest in you, the Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan. While I have outlined the duties and responsibilities of my role as Tribe Chief, I still have to consider my future partner. But why should that person be you, Adams? Must I agree simply because you’ve consented?”

“I have plenty of choices, and I intend to make the choice I truly desire.”

“Tribe Chief, you should understand your place.”

“The Five Elements Clan has no grievances with you, so let’s strive to live here harmoniously.” Gu Chaoyan’s declaration marked the end of the discussion.

“We have no intention of provoking you, but don’t harbor any misconceptions,” Gu Chaoyan warned fiercely.

Her frustration with Adams had been growing steadily. Whether it was the previous day or today, she had detected a series of schemes within him. As the Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan, he might be an adept leader, but to the Five Elements Clan, his scheming nature posed a significant concern.

His propensity for plotting was one matter, but what was truly disconcerting was his willingness to subdue his position as Tribe Chief for the sake of his clan. Such a prospect was unnerving, as it could potentially lead to a confrontation between the Five Elements Clan and the Thunder Fire Clan.

Gu Chaoyan had no desire for such hostilities this year. She was focused on ensuring the Five Elements Clan’s welfare.

Although the Five Elements Clan appeared to have everything it needed at the moment, the scarcity of resources to withstand the winter cold remained a significant challenge.

“Tribe Chief, consider this your final warning. I hope to avoid any further occurrences like this,” Gu Chaoyan cautioned. “If you have nothing else to discuss, you can return now.”

Adams remained speechless.

“The Five Elements Clan is occupied with many tasks, and I don’t wish to waste our time on such trivial matters,” Gu Chaoyan concluded.

The Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan was taken aback by her sternness.

‘What happened to her?’ It felt as if she had undergone a transformation. Her words didn’t sound insincere.

Was it possible she truly didn’t want to be with him?

Logically, it seemed implausible.

Adams had witnessed Gu Chaoyan’s actions in the past, making it impossible for him to be oblivious to her true intentions.

Now…

Was she genuinely a different person?

“Tribe Chief, it’s best if you depart now,” Gary suggested.

The members of the Thunder Fire Clan left in a state of bewilderment.

As they exited the bamboo house, the tantalizing scent of meat wafted in the air.

Winter hadn’t even arrived yet, and the aroma of meat filled the surroundings.

“Are you not concerned about starving during the winter? This is utterly preposterous.”
