“I’m the one craving smoked meat,” Aina declared with anticipation.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but chuckle.

Aina, a lively and cheerful girl, always seemed to be in high spirits, which was quite delightful. Gu Chaoyan had great trust in her.

“Alright, Aina’s got a hankering for smoked meat. Join me this winter, and I’ll whip up something scrumptious for you,” Gu Chaoyan promised with a warm smile.

“Tribe Chief!” Aina exclaimed with excitement, feeling genuinely thrilled. It seemed like the Tribe Chief was finally prioritizing their tribe over the Thunder Fire Clan, and their winter preparations were well underway. Aina was hopeful that the Five Elements Clan would continue to prosper, allowing them to lead a better life. Just the thought of it brought her immense joy.

Meanwhile, the person responsible for cooking the meat had already started, and the tantalizing aroma wafted through the air. No matter what the clansmen were occupied with, they couldn’t resist the mouthwatering scent of the meat.

Meat was being prepared!

And they would savor it when they took a break.

It had been a while since they last enjoyed such a treat, especially when the Patriarch was in charge. Everyone was brimming with excitement. Furthermore, today the Tribe Chief had even teased the Thunder Fire Clan members, adding to the jubilant atmosphere.

It was akin to a festivity.

Meanwhile, Adams, along with a handful of individuals from the Thunder Fire Clan who had been previously expelled, returned with deeply disdainful expressions.

Surprisingly, Adams, who also served as the Thunder Fire Clan’s Tribe Chief, personally intervened. However, to their astonishment, the Five Elements Clan remained unyielding and refused to share their bamboo houses and weaponry with the Thunder Fire Clan.

Adams was left pondering his next move. It was an unprecedented situation for the Thunder Fire Clan, who had never endured condescension and mistreatment from the Five Elements Clan. How could they vent their frustration?

They contrasted the Five Elements Clan’s Tribe Chief’s past behavior and attitude with their current one.

“Tribe Chief, if I may speak plainly, I believe we should gather our clansmen, reclaim what is rightfully ours, and expel these individuals from the Five Elements Clan. These possessions naturally belong to us. There’s no need to suppress our anger like this. You’re even willing to endure hardship and marry that woman from the Five Elements Clan. She’s shameless and even claimed that we disrespected her.”

Adams, however, remained resolute. “No.”

As the Tribe Chief, he bore the responsibility of guiding his clansmen towards a better future, which precluded taking unnecessary risks driven by anger.

“What if we can’t overpower the Five Elements Clan? Have you considered the consequences our Thunder Fire Clan would face? We’ve crossed paths with the Five Elements Clan in the past, and we know the life our clansmen would lead if we were to take such a path.”

Adams’s responsibilities dictated a more measured approach.

“Currently, the Five Elements Clan possesses weapons and bamboo houses to protect their elderly and children. While we may outnumber them and have more resources, did you notice that their weaponry can strike us from a distance? Our weapons require us to approach them for an effective hit. Forcibly taking their possessions would only result in greater losses. Even if we were to somehow vanquish the Five Elements Clan, can’t you envision the inevitable repercussions?”

“Our Thunder Fire Clan has undertaken risks before. What were the outcomes of those actions?”

“Tribe Chief, what do you propose we do?”
